![]() ![]() If I had to list another reason for watching this film, it really did throw some occasional science facts at me that I wasn't aware of. It's not every day an animated character can pull off being married to a pineapple or father a pumpkin. ![]() The actor-comedian isn't new to voice-acting and the experience is evident. Speaking of Pegg, his voice acting is the silver lining in this trainwreck of a film. Be it the story or the treatment, a lackadaisical approach is quite evident, and apart from Simon Pegg, none of the characters is voiced by those who did the part in the previous films. Right off the bat, the animation sticks out like a sore thumb and is miles behind anything being done at Walt Disney. While the rest of the story is something, which even the youngest of the audience would figure out, the path they take is neither new nor entertaining. When fate lands Crash and Eddie at the Lost World (once again!), they are saved from the clutches of a couple of raptors by Buck (Simon Pegg) who explains how a riled protoceratops named Orson (Utkarsh Ambudkar) wants to take control of the Lost World. Though it might have looked like a sweet coming-of-age story on paper, what I was subjected to was anything but. The duo, who fans of the franchise rarely cared about, want to leave the clan to live an independent life. ![]() Instead, the film, unfortunately, is based on the trials and tribulations of Crash and Eddie, Ellie the Mammoth's adopted possum brothers. While the need for a standalone film for Buck is a question for another day, my biggest grouse with The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is how the titular hero has very little to do in this film. The bold and daring Buck became a fan favourite. We were introduced to Buckminster 'Buck' Wild, the daring and adventurous one-eyed weasel, in the third iteration, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009). ![]()
