What We Think

“The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild” is typical of family animation these days, more about saying the right things than telling a timeless story. While it avoids the worst extremes of ideological preaching, it’s still more interested in playing by modern Hollywood’s rules than celebrating the classics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The film displays some classic examples of forced representation by prioritizing diverse character inclusion, but story and character personalities largely remain simple and inoffensive. At times, character depth and growth take a back seat to ticking diversity boxes, yet the narrative doesn’t completely collapse under these choices.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family values and masculinity are not aggressively undermined, but the film does exhibit a light touch of modern sensibilities, occasionally poking fun at old-fashioned roles. It doesn’t take a strong stance in either direction, but it leans subtlety modern nonetheless.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are mostly absent, with the film leaning into a generally harmonious, inclusive worldview. There’s minimal sincere representation of conflicting perspectives, though overt villainization is muted compared to more “woke” productions.
