Ice Age Movies: Every Film in the Series

The Ice Age movies are five theatrical computer animated comedies from Blue Sky Studios, followed by one Disney+ spinoff and a sixth main film that Disney has dated for February 5, 2027. The series began with Ice Age (2002), directed by Chris Wedge, which reached US theaters on March 15, 2002 and grossed $383 million worldwide on a $59 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo. If you grew up with the cartoon, or you are choosing a film for someone who did not, the whole list is short: all six films together run just under nine hours.

For parents, the official ratings are the useful guide. Every film is rated PG in the US, all six carry a U in the UK, and in Australia Ice Age (2002) and Ice Age: Collision Course are rated G while the other four are PG.

The heart of the series is the herd. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Denis Leary voice Manny, Sid and Diego in all five main films. In Ice Age (2002), Manny is a grumpy woolly mammoth who grudgingly saves Sid, a clumsy and talkative ground sloth, and the two decide to take a human baby back to his people. Diego enters the story as the sabertooth that Soto's pack sends to snatch that baby. Scrat, the squirrel voiced by Chris Wedge in The Meltdown and Dawn of the Dinosaurs, is forever chasing an acorn.

It could be argued that the series changes shape with every film while keeping the same trio at its center. Ice Age (2002) is a road movie about delivering one baby home, The Meltdown is a race against a flood, Dawn of the Dinosaurs puts Manny on the edge of fatherhood, Continental Drift gives him a teenage daughter, and Collision Course has Peaches getting engaged. Read that way, the herd ages along with the audience, much like a long running family sitcom. The box office follows a similar curve: from $383 million for the first film to $887 million for Dawn of the Dinosaurs, then $877 million for Continental Drift, and down to $402 million for Collision Course. Added together, the five main films earned more than $3.2 billion worldwide, using Box Office Mojo figures for the first four and The Numbers for the fifth. The full breakdown sits on the ice age box office guide.

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (2022) skipped theaters and went straight to Disney+, so it has no box office figures. You can find every title, with its cast and credits, in the how many ice age movies guide, the ice age cast guide, and the ice age spin offs guide.

You can stream all five main Ice Age movies on Netflix and Disney+ in the US, UK and Australia, and The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is on Disney+ in all three countries. That is according to JustWatch data via TMDB, checked on November 3, 2026, and streaming lineups change, so the where to watch ice age guide is the place to confirm before you press play.

In the US, some films have extra homes. Hulu carries The Meltdown, Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Collision Course, FXNow also lists The Meltdown, and Continental Drift is listed on the HBO Max Amazon Channel. All five main films can also be rented or bought from Amazon Video, Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube and Fandango At Home.

In the UK, Amazon Prime Video joins Netflix and Disney+ for the five main films, and they can be rented or bought from Apple TV Store, Rakuten TV, Amazon Video, Sky Store and YouTube. In Australia, the five main films are available to buy from Apple TV Store, Amazon Video, YouTube and Fetch TV, with no rental option listed.

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild is a Disney+ original, so Disney+ is the only listed service for it in every country, with no rent or buy options.
