As a Disney enthusiast, I was curious to learn more about the highest-grossing Disney animated movies of all time. According to Box Office Mojo, the top 10 films have collectively grossed over $10 billion worldwide.
At the top of the list is Frozen II, which made a whopping $1.4 billion globally. Frozen II surpassed the original Frozen, which was the highest-grossing animated film prior to its release in 2019. The Lion King (2019) came in second, having earned $1.3 billion globally.
Other films on the list include Finding Dory, Zootopia, and Aladdin. It’s interesting to note that four of the top 10 films were released in 2019, showing that Disney continues to produce successful animated movies.
Disney’s ability to create successful animations isn’t only due to the films themselves - marketing and merchandise also pay a big role. From toys to clothing, Disney has created an empire around its popular characters like Elsa and Simba.
Overall, the highest-grossing Disney animated movies of all time showcase the company’s continued success and ability to capture the hearts of both children and adults around the world. The formula for a successful Disney animated film seems to be a combination of timeless stories, stunning visuals, catchy music, and relatable characters.
