Synopsis
Sixth feature film from 'Ice Age' saga, considered both a sixth installment of the franchise and also a spin-off. 'The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' is the first 'Ice Age' film not to be produced by Blue Sky Studios, an animation factory that Disney closed on April 10, 2021 after the absorption of 20th Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company. Despite this, this production has the creative control of former Blue Sky executives, as well as their creative team.
Concerned about her possum brothers Crash and Eddie, mammoth Ellie asks them to discuss their actions, especially after destroying Manny and company's summer camp with an avalanche. They, however, decide to move out and start being independent, especially following a comment from Manny, but Ellie fears that they can't survive on her own except by playing dead. In the middle of their journey, Crash and Eddie end up falling at the entrance to the Lost World, where they will be reunited with the weasel Buck Wild, who saved them in 'Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs'.
Along with Buck, Crash and Eddie will team up to take on the evil Orson, a large-headed protoceratops dwarf who was banished after disagreeing that there be a balance in the Lost World to ensure the survival of reptiles, dinosaurs and mammals. Orson returns with a squad of velociraptors, determined to impose the law of the strongest in the Lost World. Buck, along with Crash, Eddie, the tyrannosaurus Momma and the skunk Zee, will face Orson, although they will have the help of Ellie, Manny, Sid and Diego.
Directed by Blue Sky Studios veteran producer John C. Donkin, from a screenplay by Jim Hecht, William Schifrin and Ray DeLaurentis, based on a story by Hecht. Inspired by the characters created by Michael J. Wilson and produced by Denise L. Rottina, with Lori Forte serving as executive producer.
