Highest-Grossing Animated Films of All Time
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Highest-Grossing Animated Films of All TimeChina's Ne Zha 2 leads with 2.216 billion dollars, the only animated film ever to pass 2 billion and roughly 345 million clear of Zootopia 2 on 1.87 billion. Its position is significant: every other film in the top ten is a Hollywood production, making Ne Zha 2 the sole non-Western entry and the clearest evidence yet of China's domestic box office scale. Disney and Pixar together account for seven of the ten places. The ranking is also strikingly recent, with four of the ten films released in 2024 or 2025 and only one, Frozen at 1.29 billion, predating 2015. Sequels dominate heavily, taking eight of the ten positions.
