Pixar’s ‘Inside Out 2’ Becomes the Highest-Grossing Animated Film of All Time

Pixar Animation Studios’ “Inside Out 2” has officially claimed the title of the highest-grossing animated film of all time, raking in a staggering $1.46 billion globally. This heartwarming sequel, which delves back into the mind of teenager Riley as she navigates a whirlwind of new emotions, has surpassed the previous record holder, “Frozen II.”

Alan Bergman, Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment, expressed his excitement over the film’s success, stating, “‘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. We knew it was really special, but no one could have predicted it would reach these record-breaking heights.”

This monumental achievement solidifies The Walt Disney Company’s dominance in the animation world, with seven of the top 10 highest-grossing animated films in history hailing from either Pixar or Walt Disney Animation Studios.

“Inside Out 2” has also etched its name in the overall box office history books, becoming the 13th highest-grossing film of all time globally and recently surpassing $600 million in domestic earnings.

This latest triumph underscores the enduring appeal of Pixar’s storytelling and the universal themes of emotion and connection that resonate with audiences worldwide. As “Inside Out 2” continues to captivate viewers, it solidifies its place as a modern animated classic.

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.
