After facing a meltdown, the dawn of the dinosaurs, the continental drift, and a collision course with a meteor shower, the Ice Age crew is back! Today, Disney+ unveiled the trailer, poster, and images for The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, an all-new animated adventure featuring the return of the beloved characters from the wildly successful Ice Age franchise. The original film premieres exclusively on Disney+ on January 28, 2022.
Per Disney+, here is the official break-down for The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild:
The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild continues the hilarious escapades of the sub-zero heroes as they create more prehistoric pandemonium. Eager for a little independence, the thrill-seeking possum brothers Crash and Eddie set out to find a place of their own but soon find themselves trapped beneath the ice in a massive cave inhabited by dinosaurs. They are rescued by the one-eyed, adventure-loving weasel Buck Wild, and together, with the help of some new friends, embark on a mission to save the Lost World from dinosaur domination. The movie, which features the voices of Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible – Fallout), Utkarsh Ambudkar (Free Guy), Justina Machado (One Day at a Time), Vincent Tong (Ninjago), and Aaron Harris, is directed by John C. Donkin (Ice Age: Continental Drift producer), written by Jim Hecht (Ice Age: The Meltdown), Ray DeLaurentis (Fairly Odd Parents) and Will Schifrin (Bunsen is a Beast) from a story by Jim Hecht, with Lori Forte (the Ice Age franchise) serving as executive producer.

Wow! Can you believe that the last Ice Age movie, Ice Age: Collision Course, came out in 2016? That feels like a million years ago, what with the pandemic warping time and space with every passing day. I think it’s about time we got a new Ice Age adventure and on Disney+ no less. That should make it easy for parents to plunk their kids in front of the screen for some quality time with old animated friends. Plus, the adults can sneak a glass of wine or two in during the show, which is always a plus for the nerves. Everybody wins!
