Walt Disney Animation Zootopia 2 is Now the Biggest MPA Animated Movie Ever. Disney just broke a massive record. Zootopia 2 officially passed Inside Out 2 to become the highest-grossing animated movie in history. The sequel has brought in $1.703 billion worldwide so far. That doesn’t just make it a hit for 2025; it puts it at number nine on the list of the biggest movies ever made, live-action included.
Breaking Down the Numbers
The movie is doing well everywhere, but it’s a massive hit in China. Here’s a quick look at the stats:
- Global Total: $1.703 billion
- China Box Office: $619 million (a record for any MPA film there)
- Domestic (US/Canada): $390 million
- International: $1.313 billion
It also reached the $1 billion mark faster than any other animated or PG-rated movie before it.
Disney isn’t just winning with this one film. They now own the top three spots for animated movies with Zootopia 2, Inside Out 2, and Frozen 2.
Audiences seem to actually like the movie, too. It has a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and an “A” CinemaScore. Between the first movie and this one, the Zootopia franchise has now made over $2.73 billion.
Alan Bergman, Disney’s Co-Chairman, thanked the fans for the milestone. He credited directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard for making a story that people clearly wanted to see.
The movie came out on November 26, 2025, and it’s still playing in theaters if you haven’t seen it yet.
