Among the many properties that Disney acquired in the purchase of Fox was the Ice Age franchise. It may not be one of the biggest animated franchises, but over the course of five films, the series has grossed over $6 billion in theaters. So the sequel was a no-brainer, although turning it into a Disney+ exclusive comes as a bit of a surprise.
This new movie is titled Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck, named after a character, voiced by Simon Pegg, who first appeared in Ice Age 3. The main characters from Ice Age are present, although based on the trailer below, it looks like they may have minor roles in the story.

Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck continues the hilarious adventures of the glacial heroes as they create more prehistoric pandemoniums.

They are rescued by one-eyed, adventure-loving Buck Wild, and together, with the help of some new friends, they embark on a quest to save the Lost World from dinosaur domination.
Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck premieres exclusively on Disney+ on January 28.
