The following are lists of highest-grossing animated films in the United States and Canada.
Included on the list are charts of the top box-office earners, a chart of high-grossing animated films adjusted for inflation.
Animated family films have performed consistently well at the box office, with Disney films enjoying lucrative re-releases prior to the home video era. Disney also enjoyed later success with its Pixar brand, of which the films from Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Inside Out have been the best performers; beyond Pixar, the Shrek, Ice Age, Madagascar and Despicable Me series have met with the most success. The Jungle Book and Mickey Mouse series saw successful returns after lying dormant for decades.

Highest-grossing animated films adjusted for inflation These charts were compiled based on data from Box Office Mojo, by dividing the gross by the average ticket price to calculate an estimate of the total number of admissions. * Adjusted to the estimated number of tickets sold. Inflation-adjustment is mostly done by multiplying estimated admissions by the latest average ticket price. Where admissions are unavailable, adjustment is based on the average ticket price for when each film was released (taking into account rereleases where applicable). Admissions better reflect the popularity of older films, since they are less susceptible to the effects of inflation.
Many of the films on this list released prior to the availability of home video have had multiple releases. Note these lists are based on 2016 prices.
