Familiar Voices Return

Ray Romano is set to reprise his iconic role as Manny, the lovable woolly mammoth. Joining him are Queen Latifah as Ellie, Manny’s spirited partner, and John Leguizamo, who will once again bring the hilariously clumsy Sid the sloth to life. Denis Leary and Simon Pegg are also returning, with Pegg reprising his role as Buck, the adventurous one-eyed weasel.

A New Chapter Under Disney

This marks a significant milestone as Ice Age 6 will be the first theatrical release in the franchise since Disney acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019. Along with the acquisition came the rights to the Ice Age series, which has been a fan favorite since its inception in 2002. The last feature film, Ice Age: Collision Course, hit theaters in 2016, followed by various spin-offs, including the recent The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.

The Franchise’s Enduring Legacy

The Ice Age series has left an indelible mark on animation, blending humor, heart, and adventure in a prehistoric setting. Over the years, it has expanded beyond the big screen, with short films and TV specials exploring the lives of its quirky characters. The return of these beloved creatures promises to bring more laughter and excitement to audiences young and old.

What’s Next?

While Disney has yet to announce an official release date for Ice Age 6, the confirmation of its production has already generated buzz. Fans are eager to see what new adventures await Manny, Sid, Ellie, and the rest of the gang. Will they face new threats in the ever-changing prehistoric world? Or perhaps we’ll meet new characters who will add fresh dynamics to their tight-knit group.
