Journey to the Blue Sky Episode 15: The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild

In this episode of Journey to the Blue Sky, Arun and Patricia have reached the post-Blue Sky Studios era where in 2021, Blue Sky Studios was shut down after Fox was purchased by Disney. The first animated film from this era is the 2022 animated film The Ice Adventures of Buck Wild exclusively on Disney+. Crash and Eddie want to become independent of the pack after destroying their summer habitat and decide to leave to fend for themselves. They meet up with Buck Wild as he's trying to prevent a Protoceratops named Orson from conquering the Lost World.

When the film was released on Disney+, critics and viewers hated it and called it a low point in the Ice Age franchise, even getting more negative reviews than Ice Age: Collision Course. They criticized the animation, the story, the replaced voice actors, and Disney's decision of shutting down the studio in the first place. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and find out.
