Disney has announced the release date and title for Ice Age: Boiling Point, the sixth installment of the animated prehistoric franchise.
The announcement came on Saturday at destination D23. A journey around the Disney world in Orlando, Florida. The film is scheduled to appear in theaters on February 5th, 2027.
According to the official description, the “boiling point” is a “mudcap adventure filled with dinosaurs and mules” that “comes to visit the horns of the world that have not travelled with dinosaurs, sids, diego, ellie, scrats and other herds.”
In November 2024, Disney and 20th Century Animation announced that the sixth “Ice Age” film will host the film, with the series’ stars Ray Romano, John Legoizamo, Queen Latifah, Dennis Leary and Simon Pegg returning.
The final “Ice Age” film, “Collision Course,” was released in 2016 and sold $408.5 million at the box office worldwide. The first film bowed in 2002, producing four mainline sequels, a spin-off film and a series of shorts from Disney+. The entire franchise has won $3.2 billion since its inception.
Also during the presentation, Chief Creative Officer Jared Bush announced the title and release date for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ upcoming original film, “Hexed.” Josie Trinidad (“Zootopia+”) and Jason Hand (“Moana 2”) are scheduled to direct the film, while Roy Conli and Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster-Jones will serve as producers.
The official logline for “Hexagon” states, “a nasty teenage boy and his type of mom discover that what makes him unusual may be the magical powers that upside down their lives and secret magical worlds.”
Other projects teased in Destination D23 include “Toy Story 5”, “Tron: Ares” and “Zootopia 2.”
