Which studio distributed Ice Age: The Meltdown in the United States?

20th Century Fox distributed Ice Age: The Meltdown in the United States.

The sequel was produced by Blue Sky Studios and released through 20th Century Fox, the studio’s distribution partner for the Ice Age franchise. This relationship helped bring the computer-animated film to cinemas worldwide in 2006.

20th Century Fox is distinct from Blue Sky Studios. Blue Sky created the animation, characters, and visual production, while Fox handled theatrical distribution and marketing. The distinction matters because both names appear in discussions of the film’s production history.

The film continued the commercial success of the original Ice Age and expanded the cast with Ellie, Crash, and Eddie. It also shifted the central environmental threat from a freezing world to rapidly melting ice and a catastrophic flood.
