The Walt Disney Company: PIXAR´S ‘Inside Out 2’ Becomes the Highest-Grossing Animated Film of All Time Globally

July 24, 2024

Feel the joy because Inside Out 2 is now the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally.

The Pixar Animation Studios film — which brings audiences back into the mind of a teenage Riley as she deals with a host of new emotions — has made $1.46 billion worldwide, surpassing Frozen II as the top animated film ever.

“Inside Out 2 is a quintessentially Pixar film, and it’s been amazing to see how it has connected so deeply with people all over the world,” Alan Bergman, Co-Chairman, Disney Entertainment, said. “We knew it was really special, but no one could have predicted it would reach these record-breaking heights. We’re grateful to all the fans who have made this the biggest animated film ever.”

Inside Out 2 now sits atop of litany of blockbuster animated films from The Walt Disney Company. In fact, of the top 10 highest-grossing animated films in history, seven were produced by Pixar or Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Inside Out 2 is also the 13th highest-grossing film of all time globally and just crossed $600 million domestically.

The film — which stars the voice talents of Amy Poehler and Maya Hawke — has had a remarkable streak of success at the box office this summer. Inside Out 2 opened to record numbers, enjoyed a massive second weekend, and crossed the $1 billion mark in just 19 days of release — the fastest ever for an animated film.

It stands as the highest grossing movie of 2024 to date, and the only one to cross $1 billion.

Inside Out 2 has also been a big hit with critics. The film is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, has an “A” CinemaScore, and a Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 96%.

But the success of Inside Out 2 is more than just box office numbers.

The Walt Disney Company doesn’t just foster cultural events but creates beloved, enduring franchises thanks to the company’s expansive media brand. For example, the original film racked up $859 million in 2015 and earned an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, leading the Inside Out brand to go on to become one of Pixar’s most recognizable titles. The franchise has since expanded to shorts, merchandise, and attractions.
