ZOOTOPIA 2 Beats Out INSIDE OUT 2 to Become Highest Grossing Animated Movie of All Time With $1.7 Billion Box Office
The Disney film Zootopia 2 has beat out the studio’s previous highest grossing animated movie Inside Out 2, with the Zootopia sequel bringing in $1.7 Billion in the world wide box office.
The Jared Bush and Byron Howard directed animated movie is the 9th highest grossing movie ever at the global box office, this milestone in its eighth weekend with a running total of $390M domestic, and $1.3B abroad.
With Zootopia 2 hitting the highest grossing animated movie under the Motion Picture Association (MPA), China’s Ne Zha 2 remains the highest grossing animated movie ever worldwide with $2.2B.
The sequel opened over the Thanksgiving stretch (Nov. 26, 2025) to a record-breaking $559.5 million in five days, becoming the highest global animated opening of all time, the highest global debut of 2025, and the highest global opening for any animated film in Disney history.
Other benchmarks for Zootopia 2: It’s the No. 1 global MPA release of 2025, as well as the No. 1 international MPA title release of last year. Walt Disney Studios owns the top three animated MPA releases with Zootopia 2, Inside Out 2, and Frozen 2.
