Zootopia 2 surpasses all animated films to claim top box office spot

Disney's Zootopia 2 has made history as the highest-grossing animated film of all time, eclipsing previous records months after hitting $1 billion globally. Disney chief marketer Asad Ayaz praised its transformative impact on animated blockbusters.

Building on its earlier milestone of becoming the fastest PG-rated and Hollywood animated film to reach $1 billion worldwide in late 2025, Zootopia 2 has now set the ultimate benchmark by surpassing all prior animated films in global box office earnings.

In a recent discussion, Disney chief marketer Asad Ayaz described the sequel's performance as a 'history-making run' that has introduced a new era for animated blockbusters, thanks to its compelling storytelling and universal appeal. This crowning achievement cements the Zootopia franchise's legacy, which began with the original 2016 film's strong $1.02 billion haul.

The milestone highlights Disney's dominance in animation, captivating audiences globally. Exact final earnings figures were not detailed, but Zootopia 2's ascent positions it as an enduring landmark in the genre.
