Disney has just unveiled a teaser for Ice Age 6, the next installment in the beloved Ice Age franchise, which the company acquired in 2019. The teaser, now available on Disney's official YouTube channel, gives fans a first look at what's to come in the 2026 release, promising plenty of humor, adventure, and the return of some fan-favorite characters.

In the teaser, Ray Romano, the voice behind Manny the mammoth, takes center stage in a humorous setting. Dressed in character, he begins introducing the exciting news about Ice Age 6. However, before he can make the announcement, he jokes about how cold the studio is, suspecting that the air conditioner is broken. His moment of frustration is interrupted when he gets a call from Queen Latifah, who voices Ellie, Manny’s wife. She asks if he’s ready to reveal the news and sends him a “gift” — snow falling from the sky. With the atmosphere set, Romano finally makes the big announcement that Ice Age 6 is coming to theaters. The teaser ends with a fun cameo from John Leguizamo, who reprises his role as Sid the sloth. He enthusiastically declares, “The herd is back, baby!” and immediately starts calling everyone to share the good news.
From the teaser, it’s clear that several key voice cast members will be returning for this next chapter in the Ice Age saga.
