Ice Age begins with Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the saber-toothed tiger crossing a frozen landscape to return a human baby to his family. Their uneasy trip turns them into a herd. Scrat's repeated attempts to protect his acorn provide a separate comic story that runs through much of the series.
The main theatrical order is Ice Age, The Meltdown, Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Continental Drift, and Collision Course. Later films add Ellie, Crash and Eddie, Buck, Peaches, and other members of the herd. The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is a separate Disney+ movie centered on Buck, Crash, and Eddie, so new viewers can watch the five theatrical films first and treat it as a side story.
Ice Age: Boiling Point is scheduled to open in theaters on February 5, 2027. Disney describes it as a dinosaur-and-lava adventure that sends Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie, Scrat, and the herd into new areas of the Lost World. The story below tracks the confirmed cast, trailers, release date, and other official details rather than unannounced plot rumors.
