Another Ice Age movie has been confirmed by actor John Leguizamo, and the upcoming sequel is already undoing a massive franchise mistake Disney made two years ago. While speaking with NPR on their September 7 episode of the Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! podcast, the Sid voice actor confirmed another movie in the franchise is in the works. The film would technically be Ice Age 7, due to a spinoff, The Ice Age Adventure of Buck Wild, made for Disney+ in 2022. Even so, a future addition to the Ice Age movies is a major update for the franchise.
The last mainline film, Ice Age: Collision Course, was animated by Blue Sky Studios in 2016. However, the animation studio was closed in April 2021, with the Buck Wild spinoff later produced by 20th Century Animation and Bardel Entertainment. This means Ice Age 6 will be the first direct sequel in the series not to be animated by its original studio. While this change is slightly disappointing, given everything from funny Ice Age quotes to wild storylines, the next installment can still fix a major mistake Disney made with its spinoff two years ago.
