The sequel’s box office dominance reflects its broad global appeal, with especially strong performances in international markets such as China.

From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the world’s first full-length animated feature in 1937, to classics like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin, the studio has repeatedly set creative and commercial benchmarks. In the modern era, films such as Frozen, Moana, and Zootopia helped redefine Disney Animation for a new generation, blending advanced technology with timeless storytelling.

With Zootopia 2 now standing at the top of Disney Animation’s box office history, the film marks another milestone in the studio’s evolution — proof that even after decades of iconic releases, Disney Animation continues to find new ways to lead the global animation industry.
