“The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild” is
actually a little better than you might expect
on its sixth outing. There are lessons for the
kids about how the strong mustn’t dominate
the weak, about independence and change,
and new families that can be born of love
not blood. But visually and storytelling-wise
it’s not a cut above much of what kids can
watch on TV these days. This is a franchise
that looks like it’s slowly going the way of
the dinos, while we drool.
“The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild,” a Walt
Disney Pictures release that streams Friday
on Disney+, is rated PG for “some action and
mild language.” Running time: 81 minutes.
Two stars out of four.
MPAA Definition of PG: Parental guidance suggested.
