Permalink to version reviewed.
A truly horrendously animated movie that competes only with the likes of The Seven Deadly Sins' latter seasons.

"spin-off of it" → Does "it" here refer to the franchise? The sentence should be reworded since this isn't very clear. Done
"Pegg reprising his role as Buck Wild" → "Pegg (reprising his role as Buck Wild)" Done
"...as a Disney+ original film." → This isn't mentioned in the body. Done
"A sequel is in development." → But the quote in the body says that they're only thinking about whether to make one based on audience response, which hasn't been phenomenal, so I don't see how this is implied. Done
The note in the infobox needs a reference. Done
The plot summary is too long (650 words out of a total 1550) and should be reduced. Done
Protoceratops and Tyrannosaurus should be italicized. Done
"In June 2016, on the possibility of a sequel, Galen Tan Chu, co-director of Ice Age: Collision Course stated that there were some ideas for the sixth installment" → " On the possibility of a sequel, Galen Tan Chu, co-director of Ice Age: Collision Course, stated in June 2016 that there were some ideas for the sixth installment." Done
Any information on release outside of the US and Canada? Like, I'd at least expect it for major markets like the UK, Europe, China (if Disney+ is there?), and India. Done
"late-stage pre-viz pass" → "late-stage pre-viz [ previsualization ] pass" Done
I'll do a prose review of the plot section after it's rewritten.

All the references are consistently formatted.
What makes Flickreel, Coming Soon.net, Discussing Film, Cartoon Brew, and Film Music Reporter reliable sources?
- I know for a fact Film Music Reporter is fine but let me look into the others ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:26, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
AryKun I removed Flickreel. The Looper.com ref cites Comingsoon.net and discussing film so are they fine to use? Also coming soon.net at WP:RSN didn’t really come to a consensus if it were reliable or not, but they are owned by Mandatory (company) and cited by comic book.com. Cartoon Brew is cited by Animation Magazine. Also if you look the up at WP:RSN someone says So I really don't think there should be any question that Cartoon Brew is a quality source. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 13:02, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still not convinced by the rationale for Film Music Reporter. The others are fine, I guess. AryKun (talk) 05:50, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah at WP:RSN some said it was reliable and other said the opposite. I know I replaced the ref in The Book of Boba Fett because I though it was unreliable, but then someone reverted my edits saying it is reliable. I guess I could ask again at WP:RSN ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:17, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Spot-checks on the following refs found that they supported the claims they were used to cite:

"The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild". Rotten Tomatoes. Fandango Media"
"Howard, Courtney (January 28, 2022). "'The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' Review: Disney Plus Spin-Off Suffers From Mammoth Problems". Variety."
"Hassenger, Jesse (January 28, 2022). "The new direct-to-streaming Ice Age sequel is a generic chunk of content". The A.V. Club."
"Miller, Laura (February 2, 2022). "'The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild' doesn't fit into the original series". The Michigan Daily."

This reference is misattributed. The author of the article is Laura Millar, with an a, a writer for The Michigan Daily, not Laura Miller, with an e, a writer for Salon.com. In the body it links to Laura Miller's page as well. I'm new to this editing thing so major apologies if I'm going about this wrong.Dailyjustice (talk) 15:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Looch, Cassam (June 27, 2016). "ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE INTERVIEW WITH CO-DIRECTOR GALEN T. CHU". Flickreel. "

What does this mean I need to change? ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 12:26, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to change anything for this, this is just here for the record to show that the references actually support the information they are used to cite. AryKun (talk) 14:14, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
