Blue Sky Studios released five animated films in the popular franchise series about the ice age. The original Ice Age movie was released in 2002 and featured the voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Chris Wedge. In 2016, the last of the movies created by the originator was released. The movies follow a group of animals trying to survive the Paleolithic ice age. Disney+ released a new spin-off of the franchise in January of 2022 titled “The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.”
