With The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild being yet another major property acquired by the 20th Century Fox deal, one can't help but wonder if Disney is intentionally sabotaging the IP. This movie confounds all reasoning - but, unfortunately, not in the fun way. There are also, inexplicably, fire-breathing reptiles. It's extremely distracting how much their design contrasts with the rest of the world. It's unclear what, if any, real-life prehistoric creature these are inspired by (all evidence points to Velociraptor, but again, they look nothing like the real-life dinosaur). The raptors - the unspeaking henchmen of the movie's main villain - look ripped from the How To Train Your Dragon franchise. The animation varies from impressive textures, fur effects, and lighting to moments of clunky and weightless action like that found in those creepy, algorithm-gaming YouTube videos aimed at preschoolers. There are some baffling choices in The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild. The one character the movie should have been able to nail without its original actor, Scrat, never appears.
