Chinese blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has become the highest-grossing animated movie ever worldwide, topping $1.7B and overtaking Inside Out 2

China's 'Ne Zha 2' breaks the all-time record for highest-grossing animated film, surpassing Pixar's 'Inside Out 2.'

Ne Zha 2 features a combat sequence that has to be seen to be believed.

Ne Zha 2 has just edged out Pixar's Inside Out 2 with a reported $1.72 billion and is on track to hit the exclusive $2 billion club.

This stat comes from Deadline, which notes Ne Zha 2 is also rocketing its way up the all-time highest-grossing list; it’s at number eight ( Inside Out 2 now sits at number nine), though it’ll take some doing for any movie to dislodge the James Cameron trio (plus a certain Avengers flick) that currently hold the top four spots.
