How to Watch All Ice Age Movies in Order

Updated on

In 2002, a new animated movie took the world by storm. Despite Pixar and DreamWorks absolutely dominating the animation industry, an outlier film was released, ultimately grossing over $383 million, proving that it was a real contender amongst the great animated movies of the time. That film was Ice Age. Since then the movie has spawned five sequels, animated specials, shorts, and more. Check out our guide below to find out where to watch the entire Ice Age series in order!

The Ice Age franchise follows three friends who navigate life during the ice age – Manny the mammoth (Ray Romano), Sid the ground sloth (John Leguizamo), and Diego the saber-toothed tiger (Dennis Leary) – as well as the hilariously nut-obsessed saber-toothed squirrel, Scrat.

Throughout the films, the group makes even more friends, like Ellie the mammoth (Queen Latifah), and the possum brothers Crash and Eddie (Sean William Scott and Josh Peck). In the third movie, audiences also meet Buckminster “Buck” Wild (Simon Pegg) who eventually got his own spin-off sequel in 2022.

Even better, the Ice Age franchise was made in chronological order, so there’s no prequels or wonky film orders to remember, it’s all perfectly ordered by release date. Here’s how the chronology looks:

However, while the series was released chronologically, the factual chronology of the franchise makes absolutely no sense. For example, by the time the ice age came around (about 2 million years ago) the continents had already shifted into the relative positions they’re in now and the dinosaurs had long been extinct for millions of years. So the fact that Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Continental Drift take place after the first film is historically very inaccurate. But… so is a franchise based around three talking animals, so let’s just accept Ice Age for what it is. A pretty factually flawed, but extremely fun and entertaining film franchise.
