About: Highest-Grossing Animated Films of All Time

Overview of the data behind this chart

Animated feature films ranked by total worldwide box office gross, measured in billions of USD. The Lion King (2019 live-action remake) and Frozen II are among the highest-grossing animated-category films ever made — though the distinction between fully animated and live-action hybrid films complicates rankings, with the original animated Lion King (1994) representing one of the most profitable films in Disney history relative to its production budget.
