About This Dataset

Highest-Grossing Animated Films of All Time
This chart ranks the ten highest-grossing animated films by worldwide box office gross in billions of US dollars. Figures are not adjusted for inflation. Disney's 2019 version of The Lion King is included because it is computer animated, despite the studio classifying it as live-action.
✨ AI Insight

China'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.
