Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, and Denis Leary all hit the stage at CinemaCon to talk about the return of Ice Age. The franchise is somehow coming out with a sixth film called Ice Age: Boiling Point, which releases on February 5, 2027 and dropped some footage for the audience.
The characters take a trip to the lost world where they will encounter new antagonists and a volcano. And yes, Scratch the squirrel is back once again for good fun in this footage. He has the nut but a baby sabertooth squirrel takes it.
He gives a mini nut (more like a pacifier) to the squirrel but wants to bury it of course. Things go awry when he buries the bigger squirrel and a nearby volcano erupts. Scratch is fighting for his life while the baby is breezing through lava on a single ice cube. Of course, the nut is now mostly ash, and Scratch ends up being hit with some hot lava, stopping him in his tracks.
We see Manny, Diego, Sid, and Elle back on another adventure towards a lush land. It’s incredibly adorable and keeps the same tone of the franchise that we’ve always loved.
