Animated movies are almost a surefire way to get a box office hit!
Due to their family-friendly nature, animated films tend to do well in theaters as the whole family can enjoy, which leads to more and more sales.
There are two companies that have really dominated the animated game over the last ten years – Disney (Walt Disney Animation and Pixar) and Universal (Illumination).
The past two years, there have been a couple titles to take away the No 1 spot from Frozen II, from The Super Mario Bros to other Disney titles that have taken over. There’s even a 2025 release that quickly shot right up to the top and is comfortably leading the pack but nearly double the sales as the No 2 spot!
