He was always like a fun uncle \u2013 Uncle Buck, if you will \u2013 and now he\u2019s more like the dad because Crash and Eddie are the eternal children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo playing out that dynamic was fun because it was a sort of different side to the Buck character.\u201d<\/p> <p>One of the other big changes for Buck is that he\u2019s got a new female friend \u2013 who goes by the name Zee \u2013 and Pegg believes this has also contributed to a new, more grown-up version of the character.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZee is a great character because she\u2019s a real match for Buck,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s a sort of female counterpart to Buck. She\u2019s as resourceful, as brave \u2013 everything Buck would be attracted to, I think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, they\u2019re not really girlfriend and boyfriend, but there\u2019s certainly a relationship there. But something went wrong in that dynamic over that time, and it\u2019s probably because Buck feels like he should be on his own, he feels like he shouldn\u2019t rely on other people.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;The\" ice=\"\" age=\"\" adventures=\"\" of=\"\" buck=\"\" wild=\"\" official=\"\" trailer=\"\" disney=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0U0L4uT0btQ?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>\u201cAnd Zee is they\u2019re saying, \u2018Look, you know, it\u2019s OK to do that.\u2019 And I think that\u2019s one of the messages of the movie. I think it\u2019s meaningful that Buck is a male character, I think men often do have trouble asking for help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think it\u2019s one of the messages of the film that it\u2019s not only OK to ask for help, but it\u2019s OK to ask for help from your female friends and family members as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat and the whole idea of what it\u2019s like to leave home, and how you feel about leaving home and how the people left behind feel about you leaving home. They are all core messages in this movie, which I think speak to the kind of family dynamic that\u2019s always defined Ice Age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is streaming on Disney Plus now <\/b><strong>\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/disneyplus.bn5x.net\/c\/1236178\/564546\/9358?subId1=radiotimes-607408&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.disneyplus.com%2Fen-gb&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;nofollow noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">sign up to Disney Plus now for \u00a379.90 for a year or \u00a37.99 a month<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\">TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/&quot;\">Film<\/a>\u00a0hub for all the latest news and features.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;post__content-end\" row=\"\" hidden-print=\"\">\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><strong>The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
