Ice Age 6 Confirmed: Sid's Voice Actor Spills the Beans
Fans of the "Ice Age" franchise, get ready for some mammoth-sized excitement! John Leguizamo, the voice behind everyone's favorite sloth Sid, has just dropped a bombshell: "Ice Age 6" is in the works!
The Scoop on the Next Ice Age Adventure
During an appearance on the podcast "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!", Leguizamo let slip that they're "about to do Ice Age 6." Talk about letting the sabertooth out of the bag! While he didn't dish out any juicy details about the plot or his role, this news is sure to send shivers of excitement down fans' spines.
A Look Back at the Franchise
For those who've been living under a glacier, the "Ice Age" series kicked off way back in 2002. Since then, it's grown into a prehistoric powerhouse with:
Five main movies
A Disney+ spin-off called "Ice Age: Adventures of Buck Wild" (2022)
It's been a while since we've had any concrete news about the franchise's future. But now, thanks to Sid's loose lips, we know the ice hasn't melted on this series just yet!
What's New in Ice Age 6?
Here's what we're scratching our woolly heads about:
Will it pick up where "Ice Age: Collision Course" left off?
Is it going to build on the events from "Buck Wild"?
Who from the original gang will be back?
While Leguizamo kept mum on these details, his reveal lines up with hints dropped in the making-of documentary for "Buck Wild" on Disney+. Looks like the wheels have been turning behind the scenes for a while!
A New Era for Ice Age
"Ice Age 6" is breaking new ground in one big way: it'll be the first main movie in the series not animated by Blue Sky Studios. Disney shut down the original animation studio in April 2021 due to the economic impact of Covid-19. For "Buck Wild," 20th Century Animation and Bardel Entertainment took the reins. Will they be the ones to bring our prehistoric pals back to the big screen?
What Fans Can Expect
While we don't have a plot yet, here's what we're hoping to see:
More of Scrat's acorn-chasing antics
New prehistoric creatures joining the herd
Maybe a time-travel adventure? (Hey, we can dream!)
