Anonymous
Disney has released the first teaser trailer for Ice Age: Boiling Point, the sixth mainline animated film in the franchise, set for a Feb. 5, 2027 theatrical release and later to arrive on Disney+. The preview reunites the familiar herd—Manny, Diego, Sid, Buck, and Ellie—as they flee a massive volcanic eruption and head into previously unseen regions of the Lost World, with prehistoric dangers and slapstick chaos along the way. Scrat remains central to the mayhem, as his acorn-fueled chase escalates with lava-spewing disaster, while Baby Scrat appears in a new moment that teases a continuation of his storyline. Multiple outlets describe the teaser as signaling a departure from Ice Age’s usual frozen landscapes, with the changing environment pointing to a hotter, more extreme “boiling” challenge. The film also marks a post–Blue Sky return to theaters under Disney’s 20th Century Animation, bringing back Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, and Queen Latifah, with John Donkin directing and Lori Forte producing.
Key Points
1
Disney’s logline for the film frames the story as the herd—"Manny, Sid, Diego, and the rest of the herd"—venturing into the “treacherous, unexplored Lost World,” where erupting volcanoes and prehistoric predators force them to “navigate extreme terrain to survive and keep their family together.”
2
The teaser includes specific slapstick and survival moments: Sid “accidentally swallows a bee and then crashes into Diego,” while Ellie is “s[inged]” by a fiery rock and Buck pragmatically uses her warming scalp to “roast a grub for a snack.”
3
Baby Scrat’s cameo is depicted as more than a cameo stunt—he calmly flies out of the volcano crater using a “tiny acorn as a pacifier,” reinforcing the idea that Scrat Tales’ Baby Scrat storyline is continuing.

Beyond the general post–Blue Sky context, the article notes Ice Age: Boiling Point is the franchise’s first theatrical entry since 2016’s Ice Age: Collision Course and the first big film release after Blue Sky’s 2021 closure, with 20th Century Animation managing production.
