History WesternAnimation / TheIceAgeAdventuresOfBuckWild

* PteroSoarer: Buck has a new flying mount in a ''Ludodactylus'' 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.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Introduces Orson the ''Protoceratops'', Penelope the ''Ludodactylus'', and Zee the zorilla.

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

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

* DumbDinos: Discussed when Crash and Eddie become surprised at Orson being a dinosaur that can speak, pointing out that dinosaurs "grunt and roar like nincompoops". In response, Orson mocks the notion that "dinos have tiny brains" by showing off his enormous brain.

* DumbDinos: Discussed when Crash and Eddie become surprised at Orson being a dinosaur that can speak, pointing out that dinosaurs grunt and roar "like morons". In response, Orson challenges the notion that "dinos have tiny brains" by showing off his enormous brain.

* MyGreatestFailure: Buck and Zee hold the deaths of their old teammates as this, and it causes several arguments in the present day.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Introduces Orson the ''Protoceratops'' and Zee the zorilla.

* 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]]).

* MyBrainIsBig: Orson's brain is so enormous that it protrudes from the back of his head behind his head spine.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: Orson is completely laughable as a threat when compared to previous villains like Soto or Captain Gutt due to lacking any martial ability of his own. The main reason he serves as such a threat to Buck in this film is because Buck himself is such a small animal (and so are Zee, Crash, and Eddie) and thus is not equipped to fend off numerous mind controlled raptors. Indeed, the tables begin turning once the herd arrives to help and Crash and Eddie just outsmart him, rendering him helpless without his army.

* TheSocialDarwinist: Orson explicitly believes that rather than mammals and dinosaurs living in harmony in the Lost World, the reptiles should rule over everything due to being stronger than the mammals, and that he as the (self-proclaimed) smartest being should have all the power and authority.

*** Though FridgeLogic suggests that they simply grew up and left their mother, given how Peaches was just born in the third film and got married off by the fifth one.

Opossum brothers Crash and Eddie have begun to chafe living under the watchful eye of their adopted sister Ellie, and when they are told they wouldn’t survive living on their own, they take the plunge and go off on their own. They manage to fumble their way back into the [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeDawnOfTheDinosaurs lost world]], and decide they want to live a life of adventure with their old friend Buck Wild (Creator/SimonPegg). However, they learn that it’s a bad time to pay a visit, as a hyper-intelligent dinosaur named Orson has set his sights on conquering the lost world with a swelling army of dinosaurs at his command. Now Crash and Eddie must help Buck, and his old friend Zee, in stopping Orson’s mad plans for conquest, and maybe prove they can make it on their own in the process.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: This sixth film features Orson the Protoceratops and Zee the Zorilla. It also features venomous snakes, lizards, and a burrowing mammal.

''The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild'' is a spin-off and continuation of the ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' franchise, released exclusively to Creator/DisneyPlus on January 28, 2022. It is the first animated media in the series not produced by Creator/BlueSkyStudios (which was shuttered in 2021), with 20th Century Animation and Creator/BardelEntertainment instead handling production.

** Sid calls Diego “Uber tracker”, recalling a nickname Manny gave him back in the first film.

* BreatherEpisode: Following the apocalyptic stakes of ''Continental Drift'' and ''Collision Courses'' is a more lighthearted romp in the Lost World again.

** Downplayed, but the opening recap features the very first mention or appearance of the human baby Roshan from the first film, as well as his father Runar. It also has paintings of old villains like Soto’s pack, Cretaceous and Maelstrom, and Captain Gutt.

* DwindlingParty: The herd has become this since the previous film. With Peaches, Julian, and Granny all having moved away, Crash and Eddie also move to the lost world, leaving only Manny, Ellie, Sid, and Diego in the herd.

** Mama Rex’s three children are not seen or mentioned, and neither are Rudy or Gavin’s family.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:Shira and Brooke disappear with zero comment. This is rather strange because this film is an explicit follow-up to the last two sequels, and their expensive celebrity actors could’ve just been replaced like the rest of the main herd. To a somewhat lesser extent, Rudy as well as Gavin and his kids are absent without explanation.
