Ice Age 6 Boiling Point is finally confirmed, with Disney announcing its release date for February 5, 2027. The film brings back Manny, Sid, Diego, and the rest of the herd for a new prehistoric adventure set in the fiery Lost World. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming chapter in the Ice Age franchise.
Overview
The new film of ice age moves the franchise into a “dinosaur-and-lava-filled madcap adventure,” according to studio descriptions, sending Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Scrat and the rest of the herd into never-before-seen corners of the treacherous Lost World. This shift in tone and scenery aims to give long-time fans a different kind of spectacle while keeping the franchise’s comedic heart.
Main Cast
Longtime voices are returning: Ray Romano (Manny), John Leguizamo (Sid), Queen Latifah (Ellie), Denis Leary (Diego), and Simon Pegg (Buck) are confirmed to reprise their roles, reuniting the core ensemble that helped define the series. That continuity is being promoted as a major selling point for ice age 6.
Production
The film was announced publicly at Disney recent Destination D23 presentation, part of a slate reveal that placed Boiling Point on the 2027 calendar. The project follows years of franchise dormancy since 2016’s Collision Course, and it marks a return under Disney’s stewardship after the closure of Blue Sky Studios.
Importance Of This Release
Bringing back original voices and moving the setting to a more action-oriented Lost World is an attempt to reenergize interest in ice age 6 after the longest gap in the series. For families and longtime fans alike, the combination of nostalgia and new visual stakes (dinosaurs, lava, and unfamiliar terrain) could restore the theatrical momentum the franchise once enjoyed.
Early Reactions
Fans and trade outlets reacted quickly to the announcement, sharing clips and coverage from D23. Coverage so far emphasizes title, release date, returning cast, and the promise of a different kind of adventure — details that will be fleshed out as promotional material and trailers roll out.

What To Watch Next
Key specifics remain unconfirmed: exact plot beats, a full supporting cast list (including who will voice Scrat), and whether the film will lean more heavily into family comedy or action setpieces. Marketing materials and the first full trailer should address these gaps in the months ahead.
Final Thoughts
Ice age 6 arrives with a clear selling proposition — the familiar characters fans love are back, but they are headed into unfamiliar, high-stakes terrain. With a February 5, 2027 release date, the next year will bring trailers, promos, and more casting info as Disney builds toward opening day.
