‘Ice Age 6’ Titled ‘Ice Age: Boiling Point,’ Sets 2027 Release

Disney has unveiled the release date and title for “Ice Age: Boiling Point,” the sixth installment in the animated prehistoric franchise.

The announcement was made during Saturday’s Destination D23: A Journey Around the Worlds of Disney in Orlando, Fla.. The film is set to hit theaters on Feb. 5, 2027.

According to an official description, “Boiling Point” is a “dinosaur-and-lava-filled madcap adventure that takes Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Scrat and the rest of the herd to visit never-before-seen corners of the treacherous Lost World.”

Back in November 2024, Disney and 20th Century Animation announced that the sixth “Ice Age” film was in the works and that series stars Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah, Denis Leary and Simon Pegg would return.

The last “Ice Age” film, “Collision Course,” was released in 2016 and went on to gross $408.5 million at the worldwide box office. The first film bowed in 2002, spawning four mainline sequels, a spinoff film and a series of shorts on Disney+. The franchise as a whole has grossed $3.2 billion since its inception.

Also during the presentation, chief creative officer Jared Bush unveiled the title and release date for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ next original film: “Hexed.” Josie Trinidad (“Zootopia+”) and Jason Hand (“Moana 2”) are set to direct the film, while Roy Conli and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster-Jones will serve as producers.

The official logline for “Hexed” reads, “An awkward teenage boy and his Type-A mom discover that what makes him unusual, might just be magical powers that will turn their lives and a secret world of magic, upside down.”

Other projects teased at Destination D23 include “Toy Story 5,” “Tron: Ares” and “Zootopia 2.”
