The fearless one-eyed weasel Buck teams up with mischievous possum brothers Crash & Eddie as they head off on a new adventure into Buck's home: The Dinosaur World.
Since many in the intended audience or even their teen-age babysitters were not yet born when the first “Ice Age” movie was released in 2002, this sixth in the series (not counting video games, television specials, and short films) begins with a recap in cave-painting style, letting us know how the various characters met and decided, even though some of them were natural predators and prey, they would become a family and protect each other.
To further that analogy, “Buck Wild” attempts to be like “Puss in Boots” (2011), a spinoff of Antonio Banderas’ beloved character from “Shrek 2” (2004).
Along the way, Manny, Diego - a saber-toothed tiger without a pack (Denis Leary; The Amazing Spider-man) and Sid - an annoying sloth (John Leguizamo; Moulin Rouge!) somehow form a bond and become their own pack/family.
