History WesternAnimation / TheIceAgeAdventuresOfBuckWild

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Although this movie explicitly takes place after ''Collision Course'', Shira and Brooke are not seen or even mentioned (nor are Peaches, Julian and Granny, but this is excusable since they left the herd at the end of that movie). This is also the only ''Ice Age'' media ever where Scrat is absent due to trademark issues (though it turns out that Disney didn't lose him outright later on).

* InformedSpecies: Orson is supposedly a ''Protoceratops''. Aside from having a large frill on his head, he looks nothing like one-- he's bipedal, with tiny arms, sharp teeth, and a spiky tail.

* MisplacedWildlife: Inverted. Orson acts as though the presence of mammals in the Lost World will irreparably pollute its ecosystem, but this doesn't make much sense when you realize that in RealLife dinosaurs lived alongside a variety of mammal species for most of the Mesozoic. That said, he may just be using this argument as an excuse to justify his FantasticRacism and SocialDarwinist mindset.

This is also the only ''Ice Age'' media ever where Scrat is absent due to trademark issues.

* ComingOfAgeStory: The film’s main arc is Crash and Eddie finally learning to become competent survivors in their own right and proving they don’t need to live under Ellie’s care anymore.

This is also the only ''Ice Age'' media ever where Scrat is absent due to trademark issues.

* PteroSoarer: Buck has a new flying mount in a ''Ludodactylus''-like "pterodactyl" that he named Penelope. Penelope looks more accurate than the pterosaurs seen in ''Dawn of the Dinosaurs'', even possessing pycnofibres on the back of her head, but she's nonetheless stereotypical.

* BreatherEpisode: Following the apocalyptic stakes of ''Continental Drift'' and ''Collision Courses'', ''Adventures Of Buck Wild'' is more lighthearted adventure set in the Lost World.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Although this movie explicitly takes place after ''Collision Course'', Shira and Brooke are not seen or even mentioned (nor are Peaches and Granny, but this is excusable since they left the herd at the end of that movie). This is also the only ''Ice Age'' media ever where Scrat is absent.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Mama Rex is surely an indomitable ally against Orson’s army, right? Turns out, she has a bad toothache, so while she does still fight in the battle against Orson, she has a rather limited contribution.

** Despite Mama Rex making an appearance, and the bond she formed with Sid being referenced, her three children that Sid had previously helped her to raise are not seen, and only briefly mentioned.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Introduces Zee the zorilla. Lampshaded when the possums initially assume she's a skunk (and she does [[SmellySkunk spray like one]]).

** Despite Mama Rex making an appearance, and the bond she formed with Sid being referenced, her three children that Sid had previously helped her to raise are not seen or mentioned.

** We see the flashback of her being accepted into Crash and Eddie's family from ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown'' once again, but this time expanded upon to show more of their childhood growing up together and the possums' mother passing away.

** When Manny complains about Crash and Eddie's reckless behavior, Ellie reminds him that they're the only family she had before she met the herd. We then see the flashback of her being accepted into Crash and Eddie's family from ''WesternAnimation/IceAgeTheMeltdown'' once again, but this time expanded upon to show more of their childhood growing up together and the possums' mother passing away.

* CartoonCreature: Orson's exact species is impossible to clarify. He looks like some sort of upright-stanced reptile with a ceratopsian frill and a spiky tail.

* RaptorAttack: Orson commands an army of small, carnivorous theropods that are referred to as “raptors” in-universe, but outside of having the iconic dromaeosaur sickle claw, they otherwise look more like cartoony ''Coelophysis'' with the nasal crest of ''Ceratosaurus'' ([[ArtisticLicensePaleontology once more incorrectly depicted as a rhino-like horn]]). Needless to say, they don't sport a single feather. Made all the more jarring when the previous film featured more accurate-looking dromaeosaurids.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Introduces Zee the zorilla. Lampshaded when the possums initially assume she's a skunk.
* SeriesContinuityError: Crash and Eddie point out that dinosaurs don't talk, despite having met Gavin and his kids who are talking dinosaurs.
