The 15 highest-grossing animated movies of all time

• These are the 15 highest-grossing animated feature films of all time.
• Franchise hits like “Toy Story” and “Minions” and musicals like “Frozen” and “The Lion King” dominated the list.
• The list is compiled from Box Office Mojo without adjusting for inflation.

But those down times are over as “Inside Out 2” is the highest grosser for Pixar yet.

“Inside Out 2” hit the $1 billion global mark in 19 days, the fastest ever for an animated movie. And along with “Deadpool & Wolverine,” it’s the only other movie released in 2024 that crossed the $1 billion mark.

1. “Zootopia 2” (2025)

Worldwide gross: $1,866,647,950

Nine years after its original release, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return with another entertaining buddy comedy story that audiences can’t get enough of.

The secret to the sequel’s huge success was how well it played in China. American-made titles haven’t performed well there post-pandemic (and fewer are being released there), but Disney pulled it off, as the title has taken in over $600 million in China alone.
