What is frozen can be thawed!
Your favorite animated franchise is returning to the big screen! After eight years since the last film, a new Ice Age sequel is finally in production.
On November 9, 2024 at D23 Brazil, Disney released a teaser video announcing the upcoming film. Original cast members Ray Romano (Manny), John Leguizamo (Sid), Denis Leary (Diego), Simon Pegg (Buck), and Queen Latifah (Ellie) are all set to reprise their iconic roles. Other cast members are still to be announced in the future.
HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW
While details about the film’s plot are still under wraps, one thing is certain: Scrat, the lovable saber-tooth squirrel, will be front and center. After all, no Ice Age movie would be complete without him—he’s the one responsible for setting the events of the entire franchise in motion.
This time, Scrat will be joined by Baby Scrat, who made his debut in the 2022 Ice Age: Scrat Tales series. With two mischievous squirrels in the mix, we can expect even more chaotic antics and a brand-new ice age catastrophe. Get ready for a wild ride!
ICE AGE 6 WILL BE MADE BY DISNEY
Since Blue Sky Studios was shut down by Disney in 2021, this upcoming Ice Age film will be the second in the franchise produced by Disney, following The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, which was released directly to Disney+ as a spin-off.
Since the release of that spin-off, fans are hoping Disney won’t disappoint them with their second film. Many are eager to move past the disappointment of the first and forget it ever happened. Despite that, fans are looking forward to seeing the franchise back in cinemas.
Ice Age 6 will premiere in 2026, the same year Shrek 5 and Toy Story 5 will be released. Stay tuned for more updates.
