Trivia
- This will be the first theatrical Ice Age film not to be produced by Blue Sky Studios following the studio's closure in 2021.
- This will be the first 20th Century Studios animated film to get a theatrical release since The Bob's Burgers Movie in 2022.
- This is the first theatrical Ice Age film not to be released in March or July.
- It is unknown whether Chris Wedge will return to presumably voice Scrat or not, considering he is now working at Annapurna Animation which had revived Nimona (2023) after it had been initially cancelled following the closure of Blue Sky Studios.
- This film will be presumably released on the 20th anniversary of 2006's Ice Age: The Meltdown and on the 10th anniversary of 2016's Ice Age: Collision Course.
- Ice Age is the first computer-animated film franchise to become a hexalogy.
- Despite this being the sixth film, some already considered Ice Age a hexalogy because The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild takes place after the first five. However that film is actually a spin-off.
