A brand new “Ice Age” movie is upon us, but this one’s a bit different. “Ice Age 6” is officially titled “The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild” and puts Simon Pegg’s one-eyed weasel Buck front and center in an adventure of his own. The film was originally being developed as a Buck Wild TV series spinoff, but when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the story was re-developed as a feature film.
So where is “The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild” streaming? And who from the original voice cast returned? Find out below.
