• The announcement at Destination D23 confirms the title Ice Age: Boiling Point and a February 5, 2027 theatrical release.
• This entry is the sixth main film in the franchise, sending the herd into new areas of the treacherous Lost World.
• The date represents a shift from an earlier late-2026 target disclosed at a prior D23 presentation.
• Disney has not named a director or writer, and full casting is unannounced, though reports expect returns from Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and Denis Leary, with Simon Pegg’s status unclear.
• Context for the revival includes Blue Sky Studios’ 2021 closure and a 2022 Disney+ spinoff, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, produced without Blue Sky.
