February 5, 2027 — the herd’s sixth theatrical finally has a boiling title
Ice Age: Boiling Point opens Friday, February 5, 2027. Donkin directs; Forte produces; Romano, Leary, Leguizamo, Pegg, and Latifah are back. Disney and 20th Century Animation revealed the title and new Friday at Destination D23 after the project spent months as untitled Ice Age 6 on December 18, 2026.
This is not Buck Wild on Disney+ and not a Collision Course re-release — it’s the first mainline Ice Age theatrical built after Blue Sky’s shutdown.
Confirmed: Feb 5 2027 Boiling Point — not Dec 18 2026, not a Blue Sky swan song
Confirmed: February 5, 2027 theatrical; Boiling Point title; Donkin/Forte; returning voice leads; 20th Century Animation. Not confirmed as still December 2026, as Blue Sky producing, or as a streaming-only drop. Fake “Ice Age 6 — Christmas 2026” stubs are the old slot.
From Blue Sky’s last Collision Course to a February boil
- 2016 — Collision Course; Blue Sky’s last mainline Ice Age theatrical.
- 2021 — Blue Sky closes; franchise goes quiet theatrically.
- 2022 — Buck Wild on Disney+ (Donkin); Forte teases more if fans show up.
- Nov 2024 — Ice Age 6 announced with Dec 18, 2026 date + returning cast.
- Aug 2025 D23 — titled Boiling Point; moved to Feb 5, 2027.
Before February 2027 — buy Boiling Point, not the wrong glacier
- Marquee: Ice Age: Boiling Point / February 5, 2027 — 20th Century.
- Dec 18, 2026 is dead — that Friday belongs to other tentpoles now.
- Buck Wild is already on Disney+ — different adventure.
- Blue Sky nostalgia posts ≠ this production credit.
- Expect Scrat marketing; treat Wedge’s participation as TBD publicly.
The first Ice Age without Blue Sky had to dodge Avengers: Doomsday just to keep its Friday
Fans still say “Blue Sky’s Ice Age 6.” The studio that invented Scrat is gone — 20th Century Animation owns the boil now — and the calendar fight was almost as prehistoric: December 18, 2026 got crushed by Marvel’s Doomsday shift, so Disney slid the herd to February 5, 2027 and finally printed Boiling Point at D23.
Honest SEO uses the new title and Friday, not a Christmas 2026 ghost date.
