‘Zootopia 2’ becomes highest-grossing animated MPA film of all time globally

Zootopia 2 is now the highest-grossing animated Motion Picture Association (MPA) film of all time, having just surpassed Inside Out 2.

This milestone also makes Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Zootopia 2 the #9 biggest film in history worldwide.

Disney Entertainment Co-Chairman, Alan Bergman says this milestone belongs first and foremost to the fans around the world whose enthusiasm made it possible.
Bergman says they are incredibly proud of their filmmakers Jared Bush, Byron Howard, and Yvett Merino and the entire team at Walt Disney Animation Studios for creating a film that connects so deeply with audiences everywhere.
He says Zootopia 2 is an extraordinary achievement, and they are grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life.
It has already brought in US$1.703 billion global gross to date (US$390 million domestic / US$1.313 billion international).
The Walt Disney Studios have released the top three animated MPA releases with Zootopia 2 (#1), Pixar’s Inside Out 2 (#2) and Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Frozen 2 (#3).
The two Zootopia films have delivered a combined global box office total exceeding US$2.73 billion to date.
Zootopia 2 opened on November 26, 2025 to a record-breaking US$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, also becoming the fastest animated MPA — and fastest PG-rated — film to reach US$1 billion.
