A one-eyed weasel and two wisecracking possums head straight into the Dinosaur World Buck once called home in this 2022 animated spinoff of the Ice Age franchise.
What is The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild about?
Buck Wild sends the fearless scout Buck back into the buried prehistoric world beneath the ice, this time with Crash and Eddie tagging along as backup. The possum brothers have worn out their welcome with the rest of the herd, so Buck brings them into his own turf to teach them a little self-reliance — and immediately regrets it. Between towering dinosaurs, a rival explorer with a grudge, and a landscape that keeps trying to kill all three of them, the trio has to figure out how to actually work as a team instead of tripping over each other. It is a lighter, faster entry than the mainline films, built around Buck's manic energy and the possums' comic timing rather than the herd's family drama.
About the cast
Simon Pegg returns to voice Buck, carrying most of the film's comic momentum, alongside Vincent Tong and Aaron Harris as Crash and Eddie. Utkarsh Ambudkar, Justina Machado, and Sean Kenin round out the supporting voice cast in a production credited to Canada and the United States.
Context & significance
Directed by John C. Donkin, Buck Wild arrived as a direct spinoff rather than a numbered sequel, narrowing the franchise's usual ensemble cast down to three leads and one setting. At 82 minutes, it moves considerably faster than the earlier Ice Age films, trading the series' wider cast of mammoths and sabretooths for a tighter buddy-adventure structure centered on Buck's home turf.
