Worse, he’s worried they could inadvertently bumble their way into aiding Orson in his quest for subterranean domination. So as happy as Buck may be to see Crash and Eddie, given this new threat to his home, he isn’t in the mood to babysit the brothers. A pint-sized dino with an enlarged brain named Orson ( Utkarsh Ambudkar) wants to take over this lost world, and standing in his way is that plucky weasel. Hoping to see Buck again, they are startled to find they’ve landed in a dangerous mess that could result in their getting eaten by a pack of ravenous raptors. Falling into a deep fissure in the Earth, they rediscover the tunnel leading directly to that lost world of dinosaurs and other creatures erroneously thought extinct that they journeyed to not so long ago. Tired of having their adopted mammoth big sister Ellie (voiced by Dominique Jennings) constantly monitoring their every movie, possum siblings Crash ( Vincent Tong) and Eddie ( Aaron Harris) secretly head out on their own away from their chosen herd. This Disney-produced effort - noticeably bypassing theaters to appear on the studio’s streaming service Disney+ instead - is a disagreeable waste of time. Younger kids might like all the flashy colors and occasional attempts at visual whiz-bang, but it’s all so lazily paced and indifferently slapped together it’s possible they’ll lose interest long before the not-even-90-minute running time concludes. Die-hard fans are going to be disappointed by all the changes. I have no idea who is going to enjoy this one. The animation is clunky and visually uninspired. Other than Simon Pegg as thrill-seeking, one-eyed weasel Buck Wild, it appears none of the other primary members of the vocal cast - most notably the core quartet of Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo, and Queen Latifah - were asked to return. Now comes The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, and not only is this sixth installment easily the worst in the series, but it’s also the one that forces me to take back my comment that none have been “outright terrible.” There is no Scrat.
