Disney’s Inside Out 2 has become a record-breaking success, surpassing all expectations and becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time. The sequel to the beloved 2015 film has raked in an impressive $1.46 billion at box offices worldwide, overtaking the previous record holder, Frozen II, which made $1.45 billion in 2019.
The film’s success is expected to continue to soar as it prepares to open in Japan, with its total earnings likely to climb even higher in the coming weeks. Inside Out 2 has also outperformed last year’s most successful film, Barbie, which took $1.45 billion at the box office.
Despite its incredible success, Inside Out 2 has not yet surpassed Disney’s 2019 remake of The Lion King, which earned $1.65 billion. However, The Lion King is technically classified as a live-action remake, not an animated film.
The sequel introduces new emotions such as Embarrassment and Anxiety, adding depth and complexity to the characters inside the head of young Riley. The film’s focus on emotions and growing up has resonated with audiences worldwide, propelling it to the 13th spot on the list of highest-grossing films of all time.
Inside Out 2’s success marks a significant achievement for Pixar, which has faced challenges in recent years. The film’s triumph is a testament to the studio’s storytelling prowess and ability to connect with audiences on a deep emotional level.
As Inside Out 2 continues to captivate audiences and break records, it solidifies its place in cinematic history as a groundbreaking and unforgettable animated masterpiece.
