The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild#Music

In an attempt to practice one of their extreme stunts, Crash and Eddie accidentally cause an avalanche and destroy the gang's summer habitat, which later to Manny, Sid, Diego, and Ellie becoming upset at them, declaring they would not survive on their own. Wanting to prove them wrong, Crash and Eddie secretly leave their temporary camp while the others are asleep. Finding them gone the next morning, Ellie insists that they go search for them. Meanwhile, Crash and Eddie stumble upon the entrance to the Lost World, a land inhabited with dinosaurs, and run into their old friend Buck, who saves them from raptors and tells them that a bipedal Protoceratops named Orson, who was ridiculed when he was young for having a massive brain, has escaped from exile and has come to conquer the Lost World. Buck tries to get Crash and Eddie back to their home, but finds out that Orson has covered the entrance with a boulder.

Buck and the possums go to Buck's hideout, where Buck explains how he used to be part of an old team that established a watering hole as a place for animals to peacefully co-exist. He goes on to say that Orson did not accept an offer to join his team because he believed in a world where the strong dominate the weak, with him being the leader. Buck further explains that they defeated Orson and banished him to an island, where he learned that he can control two raptors with fire.

The two raptors find Buck's hideout, but Zee, a zorilla who used to be part of Buck's former team, saves Buck and the possums by using a gas to knock out the raptors. Orson then gets an army of raptors and attacks the watering hole, with Buck and Zee telling the animals to evacuate. Buck and Zee, their relationship strained after their team's breakup, go with the possums to get help. They arrive at the Lost Lagoon and summon their old friend Momma, a female Tyrannosaurus. When Orson and his raptors arrive and attack them again, Buck and Zee forgive each other for breaking up the old team and agree to work together. Acting as a diversion, Buck is captured by Orson, allowing the others to escape.

Trying to figure out how Orson controls the raptors, Zee and the possums devise a plan to get Buck back. Ellie, Manny, Sid, and Diego find out that Crash and Eddie entered the Lost World and uncover the entrance. They run into Momma, who gives them a ride to the watering hole, where Orson has taken Buck to feed his raptors, planning to use him as an example for anyone who refuses to follow his rules. Zee and the possums free Buck and fight Orson and his army, with Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, and Momma joining in the battle. Buck tries to explain to Orson that everyone needs to live in peace, but Orson arrogantly rebuffs him and continues to fight. After figuring out that Orson controls the raptors with fire, Crash and Eddie create a fire of their own and stop the raptors from fighting and make the two raptors chase Orson away instead, saving the Lost World.

Ellie, Manny, Sid, and Diego apologize to Crash and Eddie for doubting them and ask them to come home, but Crash and Eddie express that they want to stay in the Lost World with Buck and Zee. Sad to not be with them anymore yet proud to see that their adventure with Buck made them more mature, Ellie allows Crash and Eddie to stay and says goodbye, but Crash and Eddie still come to visit the gang often.

Courtney Howard of Variety gave the film a negative review, saying how the story's focus is on the major characters of the previous Ice Age films, rather than solely on the titular Buck. She also points out the problematic disability representation and how the animation is "akin to a late-stage pre-viz pass", ending the review saying that the film "should've remained on ice."{{Cite news |last=Howard |first=Courtney |date=January 28, 2022 |title='The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' Review: Disney Plus Spin-Off Suffers From Mammoth Problems |work=Variety |url=https://variety.com/2022/film/reviews/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-review-1235164667/ |url-status=live |access-date=January 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220128094327/https://variety.com/2022/film/reviews/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-review-1235164667/ |archive-date=January 28, 2022}} Natalia Winkleman of The New York Times said that she was disappointed to see the film replace almost all of its celebrity voices and stated that of all the "sins" in the movie, the omission of Scrat was unforgivable.{{Cite news |last=Winkelman |first=Natalia |date=January 28, 2022 |title='The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' Review: A Franchise Thaws |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/movies/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-review.html |url-status=live |access-date=January 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220128171035/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/movies/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-review.html |archive-date=January 28, 2022}} Laura Millar from The Michigan Daily wrote that she was somewhat disappointed in the cast change and the "elementary plot", but said that she was most upset that the film was not made for the same audience as the past Ice Age films.{{Cite news |last=Millar |first=Laura |date=February 2, 2022 |title='The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' doesn't fit into the original series |work=The Michigan Daily |url=https://www.michigandaily.com/arts/film/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-doesnt-fit-into-the-original-series%EF%BF%BC/ |url-status=live |access-date=February 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220205154350/https://www.michigandaily.com/arts/film/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild-doesnt-fit-into-the-original-series%EF%BF%BC/ |archive-date=February 5, 2022}} Johnny Loftus of Decider complimented Simon Pegg's performance, but said the world depicted across the movie appears empty and generic, and found the appearances of several characters uninteresting, writing, "The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild feels like a tangent, or perhaps a try-out pilot for a small screen Crash & Eddie ‘toon.

Jennifer Green of Common Sense Media rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote: "Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild [...] has frequent animated action involving perilous situations and some mild language. [...] Characters discover qualities in themselves that allow them to gain confidence and improve their relationships. The film has messages about existing peacefully alongside those who are different from you and being a contributing member of your herd [...] and there's some potty humor involving peeing, farting, and other bodily functions."{{Cite web |title=The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild Movie Review {{!}} Common Sense Media |url=https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild |access-date=2022-05-22 |website=www.commonsensemedia.org |language=en |archive-date=May 22, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220522215552/https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/the-ice-age-adventures-of-buck-wild |url-status=live }} Giving the film a D+, The A.V.

Lori Forte discussed the possibility of a sequel, saying, "I think it's a little premature. We hope that people will respond to this, and that will promote us to be able to do another movie.
