I was interested in making a list of the top 15 highest grossing animated franchises, especially since this year’s box office was dominated with animated films, such as Despicable Me 4, Moana 2, and the highest-grossing animated film ever, Inside Out 2.
Data is from The Numbers, and from Box Office Mojo. I used Illustrator.
Feel free to zoom in if the numbers aren’t clear.
Would be interested to see adjusted for inflation numbers. Comparing a franchise from the 90s vs today is somewhat misleading.
Kinda gross that Despicable Me is on top, probably my least favorite out of all of these
Is pokemon nowhere near the top?
I’m surprised that One Piece isn’t somewhere on the list. Â
I didn’t know there have been three Lion King movies. I knew the original and had heard about the photorealistic remake. Went to Wikipedia, and they list six.
I hate most of these as a parent.
Toy Story is only at 4 films currently right?
Can you post where the data is from my and how you made this as a comment please
A bar chart of *money-making franchises*. That shit ain’t beautiful.
Needed to do an inflation adjusted post… that, very likely would bring in Snow White, among others to the front of the line
9 of the top 12 are Disney. But the #1 is Universal Pictures.
Fun fact – add all of these up and you are not even close to Musk wealth.
Meh. Adjust for inflation.
I would love to see the split for these franchises between the first and subsequent films.
If you look at gross earnings per movie, Frozen is on another level.
The ironic thing is Cars merchandising has made them over $10 billion
I did not know there are two Incredible movies.
Aren’t there more than 3 Lion King films? And is the Mufasa prequel in theaters rn being counted?
