Wiesel Buck Wild
In fact, in the new film, the two possum brothers Crash and Eddie take the spotlight with the one-eyed weasel Buck Wild. “They’re also very popular everywhere,” says Waalkes. The opossums end up in the “Lost World” known from the third “Ice Age” film, where dinosaurs are up to mischief and where Buck Wild also lives. Sid, the saber-toothed tiger Diego and the mammoth Manfred then move out to free them. “In the end, they bring the family back together,” reveals the comedian.
Fan mail for Otto
Even if “the hero is held back a little”, as Waalkes puts it, there was enough for him to do in a studio in Hamburg. “If you record 700 takes individually, it takes a whole week or more. You sit there for hours and think, what’s the point of this. You only understand it when you put it in context.” Fan mail still reaches him and children ask him to do Sid for the best. “It’s flattering when the audience appreciates all the work in the dark studios,” says the sloth spokesman happily.
