For 20 years, Scrat never caught his acorn. Then Disney shut down the studio that made Ice Age and laid off all 450 people. On their way out, the artists drew one last shot: Scrat finally eats it. The trailer that dropped today was made by a different studio.

Disney never set out to buy Ice Age. It came bundled into the $71 billion deal to buy Fox in 2019, along with the X-Men, Avatar, and everything else Fox owned. Disney already had Pixar and its own animation studio, and a third one was not worth keeping once the pandemic emptied the theme parks. So they closed Blue Sky, the studio that built Ice Age, and let everyone there go. Disney kept the characters.

Reviving a series that had been dead for ten years came down to money. The five Ice Age films made $3.2 billion at the box office. The last one, in 2016, cost the most to make, $105 million, and earned $408 million, less than half of what the film before it made.

Even that flop made nearly four times its budget back. The math is simple. A worn-out cartoon with a squirrel every kid already knows beats a brand-new idea, because you skip the hardest part: getting people to care in the first place.

Ice Age: Boiling Point hits theaters on February 5, 2027, with the original voice cast back and the studio that made the first five films long gone. That is what $71 billion really buys. The studio was the easy part. Characters like Scrat keep earning long after the people who drew them are gone.

I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic in January of 2017. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with “blockers” to hold off male puberty.

Now Avery has come out as “nonbinary” and chosen not to pursue transition, meaning that his puberty was blocked for no reason — but that’s not the worst part. He also identifies as asexual, meaning that he doesn’t experience sexual attraction.

This is undoubtedly the result of the medication used to delay male puberty. The president of WPATH, Dr, “Marci” Bowers, has said on camera that so-called puberty blockers, which are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, chemically castrate the young boys who take them as well, leaving them incapable of arousal or orgasm.

For adult sex offenders, the process is reversible. For boys like Avery, the effects are permanent. He will never feel sexual attraction, or any of the experiences that accompany it. He is also completely sterile; he will never father a child, and his own childhood was spent in the national spotlight. The blockers he was given have also stunted his physical and mental development in irreversible ways. We know from the experiences of other “trans” children that he will never sexually mature - neither physically nor emotionally. All of these things were stolen from him, and he has said that transitioning “ruined my life.”

It’s high time that we stop pretending that children can make an informed decision to transition or take blockers, even if their doctors are honest about the risks and consequences — which most are not.

Blockers are not a pause button. They are not reversible. The intellectual deficits they cause will never repair themselves, and neither will the damage done to the child victim’s body, or to their emotional intelligence and maturity. This will, of course, make it easier to push them into transitioning; ie, to sell them hormones and provide surgical alterations.

Parents like Avery’s, who try to monetize their child’s struggles with gender identity, belong in prison, not on television, and so do the doctors and politicians who were complicit in his chemical castration and sterilization.

Disney should also create an episode about a boy getting his first erection. Enough with the menstrual/period content

Liberals spent a year telling Canadians not to travel to the US.

Boycott America.

Don’t cross the border.

Anti-American sentiment was the entire campaign.

Now:

Trudeau is at Coachella in California with Katy Perry.

Carney lived in the UK for 11 years.

Carney’s family lives in America.

It was never about patriotism.

It was always about the votes.

Chaos as always for Montréal. Not one single time in the team’s MLS history has a head coach began a third full season in charge.

Instability is the only constant. Spend is low and the gap below the bigger spending teams only increases as the league grows.

Bleak.

NHL DoPS head George Parros responding to Connor McDavid's call for an examination of the suspension process: “We sweat over these decisions and pour over these decisions every night, all season long. We have a process in place that’s consistent, and we have a team that works for me, and together with me, that evaluates all these plays. A very experienced team, a veteran team. Guys that have been there since the beginning of the department. Not to mention all the former players that have a large set of experiences playing NHL games, accolades. Some of the best guys that have played the game work for this department help make decisions. So, our process, I feel very confident in. We’ve got great guys who make these decisions, and I think the players should be confident in this team to do so.”

Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal said that everybody makes mistakes when asked about the five acquitted players from the s*xual assault case being allowed back into the NHL.

"Those guys have been through the whole thing and came out acquitted. I'm sure all of them regret what went on and what happened but are moving forward and moving on. Everyone makes mistakes, including myself. As an 18-year old kid, I've done some stupid stuff. I went to jail. I had to go through a lot of crap because of it, and it wasn't fun."

Staal was arrested for misdemeanour disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process at his brother Eric's bachelor party in 2007.

"I advise against Miami while Messi is there. It's a disaster of a club, people are fleeing from there... Organizationally, it's bad.

Messi's father is who really runs the club."

I caught NDP Manitoba minister Nahanni Fontaine, who just celebrated Charlie Kirk's public execution, insulting and name-calling her own constituents through Instagram DMs on June 29, 2025.

Crude. Vulgar. Unfit for office. She must resign.

CTV is crying that people are getting fired for celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder.

So, cancel culture is bad, @CTVNews?

Will you be coming out hard for free speech now? 😂🫠
