Disney has a real deal hit again, giving Pixar and the brand much-needed life.
Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has become the highest-grossing Pixar movie of all time at the worldwide box office. It has surpassed Incredibles 2 ($1.243B) for this milestone. It’s already the first (and only at the time of writing) film of 2024 to hit a billion.
Within the next few days, we could also see the emotion-based animated film surpassing another Disney titan as it could dethrone Frozen as the third highest-grossing animated film of all time globally.
