That Pegg can draw something so personal for his family from this film is telling of how this franchise has endured throughout the years. There’s also a sentimentality to Pegg reprising the role as the film franchise hits close to home for the actor. And in this movie, he learns that it’s not only okay to ask for help, it’s also okay to ask for help as a guy from your female friends and to trust in them to take over. He’s so used to doing everything by himself, that the idea of relying on his friends, or trusting someone to do something else, is a little bit uncomfortable for him. I think one of the things as well, for me personally, in terms of Buck as a character, which is a really sweet sort of sub theme in the film, is about… And it’s quite a male issue, I think, is the capacity to be able to ask for help. And Buck is such a loner. Pegg also talked about Buck’s big pathos for this film now that the character was the star of his own tall tale. And just getting excited about, “Oh he’s got a partner,” and it just felt like all the possibilities that have eventually now come to fruition felt very possible. I know she’s a zorilla, but she’s totally his equal and a sort of counterpart to him in so many brilliant ways. Actually, I do remember when they first showed me the picture of Zee, because it was really exciting because it’s like another Buck. But it was lovely to see a new story coming to life and see this character in new environments. In the press junket, Pegg talked about the excitement he had for a new film that was introducing a new foil for Buck Wild.įor me, any time playing Buck is memorable just because it’s always such a full on experience. As the title indicates, Buck Wild takes center stage this time around, manning the crazy ship that is the Ice Age franchise in his own way. The film sees Simon Pegg reprise his role as the renegade ruffian Buck Wild, who was last seen a few films ago. The latest installment, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, comes out later this month on Disney+ worldwide. So It comes as no surprise that 20 years after the first film came out, we’re still getting more of Ice Age content. Lest we forget about Scrat, one of the funniest characters in animation, and the rest of the cast that grew to become icons in animation. Ice Age will go down as one of the beloved animation franchises from the noughts to make an imprint in pop culture.
