‘Inside Out 2’ Tops ‘Frozen 2’ as Highest Grossing Animated Movie of All Time

The makers of Inside Out 2 presumably felt unbridled joy Wednesday after the hit movie surpassed Frozen 2 to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time. 

Released June 10 by Disney’s Pixar Animation Studio, Inside Out 2 has now generated global box-office receipts of $1.46 billion, the entertainment giant said. That surpasses the $1.45 billion earned by Disney’s Frozen 2 after its release in 2019.

Inside Out 2, which tells the tale of a teenage girl as she navigates the emotional ups and downs of adolescence, also ranks No. 13 on the list of highest-earning films, with U.S. receipts of $600 million, according to Disney.

 “We knew it was really special, but no one could have predicted it would reach these record-breaking heights,” Alan Bergman, co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment, said in a statement. 

Rounding out the all-time top-grossing animated films, according to The Hollywood Reporter, are:

3. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” Illumination/Universal ($1.361 billion)
