Ray Romano no longer voices Manny John Leguizamo no longer voices Sid Denis Leary no longer voices Diego Queen Latifah no longer voices Ellie, and the comic-relief duo of Seann William Scott and Josh Peck no longer voice Crash & Eddie. Sadly, elder millennials who grew up with “Ice Age” won’t recognize much here. I was much more engaged by the original, which I watched during senior week in Ocean City as I recovered from a massive sunburn in the motel room while my buddies hit the beach. The fact that I can tell you when and where I watched it means it was great. The journey is wild and wacky for young kids, but adults may start dozing off (guilty as charged). “Buck Wild” was already in development at Fox in 2018 long before Disney took over, which might be why the film doesn’t feel much like a Disney production at all. This newest installment is notably the first spinoff to be released under the Walt Disney umbrella after the Mouse ate the Fox with Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in late 2019. “Buck Wild” is predated by five features: “Ice Age” (2002), “Ice Age: The Meltdown” (2006), “Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs” (2009), “Ice Age: Continental Drift” (2012) and “Ice Age: Collision Course” (2016), as well as two extra holiday specials and seven short films. To their surprise, they fall back into the underground Lost World of dinosaurs hidden beneath the ice where they team with adventurous one-eyed weasel Buck Wild to face the evil protoceratops Orson. Set once again in the Paleolithic Ice Age, the romp continues the escapades of possum brothers Crash and Eddie, who set out to find a place of their own.
Now, the sequel spinoff “The Adventures of Buck Wild” drops Friday on Disney+, providing a zany diversion for little kids, while parents might grow bored of the prehistoric chaos. It’s been 20 years since “Ice Age” became a pop-culture hit as an uptight woolly mammoth, a loudmouthed sloth and a sarcastic saber-toothed tiger escorted a human baby home.īlue Sky Studios’ computer animation was nominated for the second-ever Oscar for Best Animated Feature, a prize that was invented for “Shrek” (2001) but lost to Hayao Miyazaki’s Japanese anime masterpiece “Spirited Away.” No one else had a chance.
