Frozen 2 is no longer the most popular animated film of all time. Another Disney production has replaced it.
Often unfairly categorized as “for children,” animated films can bring together young and old to find success in movie theaters. As evidenced by Frozen 2 which had established itself since 2019 as the biggest box office success of all time for an animated film, and in the top 15 of the most popular films of all time, all genres combined, ahead of Barbie or the films of the saga Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
It must be said that the sequel to the Disney cartoon featuring the new adventures of Elsa and Anna had earned more than 1.45 billion dollars worldwide. But the record held for almost five years by Frozen 2 has been beaten! Another animated film has emerged as the biggest box office success of all time (for an animated film). This film is, of course, Vice versa 2.

Released in June 2024, the new-born from Pixar (bought by Disney) has caused a real tidal wave in movie theaters. From its first days of operation, it has registered as the best start of the year 2024 in France, and in a few weeks has become the biggest success of the studio with the lamp. We are still far from the 2.9 billion dollars of Avatar (n°1 at the global box office), but Inside Out 2 achieved the feat of becoming, just one month after its release, the most successful animated film of all time, with more than $1.46 billion collected worldwide.
In France, more than 7 million spectators had already seen the film in five weeks of release. Such success is not surprising, since the first episode of Vice versa had moved the audience with its sensitivity and metaphor, representing the emotions of a child in the form of a character.
In the sequel, Riley is 13, the awkward age, and begins to develop new ranges of emotion, such as anxiety. On social networks, many Internet users shared how they identified with the animated film, which garnered a viewer rating of 4/5 on Allociné. Inside Out 2 is still available in theaters.
