The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild

Movie 2022 82 min Animation, Comedy, Family, Adventure Reviewed by Dan S · Checked 19 Apr 2022
Official Rating PG ClearAge 6+

Why our age differs

Official is PG. We say 6+ because dinosaur chases are still a step up from the quietest preschool shows, even when the jokes stay soft

Our take

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild follows Buck and the possum brothers into a dinosaur world. Creature chases and comic threats stay soft and slapstick, though the dinosaurs may loom large for very young viewers. The guide notes no meaningful swearing. We put it at around 6 and up, with a parent nearby if dinosaurs are already scary for your child.

Uplifting themes

Sidekicks learn they matter, and teamwork beats showing off in a scary new place. Belonging is the soft centre of the adventure. Easy chat about trying a new role Buck coaches courage without crushing the jokes that keep Crash and Eddie going. The brothers grow by helping, not just goofing. Warm models for younger viewers Dinos may spark a quick fossil question from younger kids who want names and sizes. The film is silly adventure first. Keep any learning light and playful after the credits

Story (may spoil tone)

Dinosaur World and a big creature problem give mild chase dread. Buck's bravado keeps it playful. Sensitive preschoolers may still want a lap for the louder bits
