On Tuesday, "Inside Out 2" surpassed $1.46 billion in global ticket sales, making it the highest-grossing animated feature of all time, usurping another Disney title, "Frozen II."
The record-breaking box office for "Inside Out 2" comes after a series of theatrical hits and misses from the company, especially from its animated releases.
In particular, Pixar has suffered at the box office in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Of note, Disney does not consider its 2019 "The Lion King" to be an animated feature despite nearly the entire film being computer animated.
Otherwise, it would be the highest-grossing animated feature, as it collected more than $1.6 billion during its theatrical run.
