Complete List of All Ice Age Movies
The Ice Age franchise includes five main theatrical animated films produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. The series began with the first film in 2002 and continued with sequels released in 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2016. Each installment follows a group of prehistoric mammals, including Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the saber-toothed tiger, as they navigate survival challenges across shifting landscapes.
Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Animation, developed the series using its proprietary rendering and animation tools. The studio operated under the Fox umbrella until its closure in 2021, after which Disney inherited the franchise rights. The films are now managed under the Walt Disney Studios banner, with digital distribution and streaming handled through Disney+ and other licensed platforms.

According to publicly reported figures, the Ice Age series has earned more than $3.2 billion in global box office revenue across its five main releases.

The franchise budget per film ranged from about $59 million for the original to an estimated $105 million for the final installment. Adjusted for inflation and ancillary revenue including home media, digital sales, and television licensing, the total franchise value exceeds $4 billion. Blue Sky Studios reported that the series consistently ranked among its top-performing properties during its operational years.
