The film, which was set in the days of the ice age more than 2.1 billion years ago, revolved around four characters known as The Herd: Manny, a woolly mammoth Diego, a saber-tooth tiger Sid, a sloth and Scrat, a squirrel. The Ice Age franchise started in 2002 with the first Ice Age movie. In terms of legacy, however, the film does nothing to rehabilitate the pop culture significance of Ice Age - suggesting perhaps this period of history is now, finally, over.If you’ve seen every Ice Age movie, you may want to know how to watch The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild online for free to see the franchise’s new spinoff featuring none other than Buck, the one-eyed weasel. To be fair, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild will probably entertain young viewers after all, the kind of tired, slapstick gags that adults roll their eyes over are brand new and hilarious to a two-year-old. More likely though, this is just another example of Disney releasing a poorly made sequel in a highly successful franchise - banking on the name recognition to attract viewers.
With The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild being yet another major property acquired by the 20th Century Fox deal, one can't help but wonder if Disney is intentionally sabotaging the IP. This movie confounds all reasoning - but, unfortunately, not in the fun way. There are also, inexplicably, fire-breathing reptiles. It's extremely distracting how much their design contrasts with the rest of the world. It's unclear what, if any, real-life prehistoric creature these are inspired by (all evidence points to Velociraptor, but again, they look nothing like the real-life dinosaur). The raptors - the unspeaking henchmen of the movie's main villain - look ripped from the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. The animation varies from impressive textures, fur effects, and lighting to moments of clunky and weightless action like that found in those creepy, algorithm-gaming YouTube videos aimed at preschoolers. There are some baffling choices in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild. The one character the movie should have been able to nail without its original actor, Scrat, never appears.
