Inside Out 2, Frozen, and Shrek 2
Summary Animated movies have a long history of dominating at the box office, but only a handful of them have ever held the record for being the highest-grossing animated movie. The history of animated movies goes back to the late 1800s, but box office data, in general, did not start to become available until the early 1920s.
