List of highest-grossing animated films

List of highest-grossing animated films

Included in the list are charts of the top box-office earners, a chart of high-grossing animated films by the calendar year, a timeline showing the transition of the highest-grossing animated film record, and a chart of the highest-grossing animated film franchises and series. All charts are ranked by international theatrical box office performance where possible, excluding income derived from home video, broadcasting rights and merchandise.

Animated family films have performed consistently well at the box office, with Disney enjoying lucrative re-releases prior to the home video, who have produced films such as Aladdin and The Lion King, both of which were the highest-grossing animated film of all time upon their release. Disney Animation also enjoyed later success with the Frozen and Zootopia films, in addition to Pixar, of which the films from the Toy Story, Inside Out, Finding Nemo, and Incredibles franchises have been the best performers. Beyond Disney and Pixar, franchises Despicable Me, Shrek, Ice Age, Fengshen Cinematic Universe, Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and Doraemon have been met with the most success. Additionally, the current highest-grossing animated film is Ne Zha 2, a Chinese film that has grossed over $2 billion worldwide, the first-ever animated film to reach $2 billion worldwide.

List of highest-grossing animated films

The chart below lists the highest-grossing animated films. Figures are given in United States dollars (USD). Many films that were released during the 20th century do not appear on this list as figures have not been adjusted for inflation, and as a result the films on this list have all had a theatrical run (including re-releases) since (/wiki/Listofanimatedfeaturefilmsof2005). Films that have not played since then do not appear on the chart due to ticket price inflation, population size, and ticket purchasing trends not being considered. If inflation were adjusted for, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs would appear at the top of the chart with an adjusted gross of $2,354,000,000. All except the original 1994 version of The Lion King and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle, which are traditionally animated films, are computer-animated films. Despicable Me is the most represented franchise with all five films (excluding the first, as it was recently taken off the list, and including the Minions films) in the top 50 highest-grossing animated films. The top 12 films on this list, each having grossed in excess of $1.05 billion worldwide, are also ranked among the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time.
