Disney has announced that Ice Age 6 is officially in development, marking their second movie set within the hit animated franchise. Originally produced by Blue Sky Studios for 20th Century Fox, the franchise would later fall under Disneys ownership following 2019s Fox-Disney merger. Following that merger, Blue Sky Studios was officially shut down by Disney in 2021, but not before producing a series of animated shorts, dubbed Ice Age: Scrat Tales, that debuted on Disney+ in 2022. Meanwhile, Disney+ would also release its own exclusive spinoff movie, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, without Blue Skys involvement.
