As of 2024, the highest-grossing film from Walt Disney Animation Studios was *Frozen II*.
Released in 2019, *Frozen II* continues the story of sisters Elsa and Anna as they travel beyond Arendelle to investigate the origin of Elsa’s powers and a mysterious call from the north. The sequel expanded the world established by *Frozen* while retaining its central themes of family, responsibility, and self-discovery.
The film earned roughly $1.45 billion worldwide, making it the top worldwide box-office performer among Walt Disney Animation Studios productions at that time. Its total includes international and domestic theatrical receipts and is not adjusted for inflation.
The wording “as of 2024” matters because box-office records can change when new films are released. *Frozen II* was also sometimes compared with Pixar films or Disney-distributed movies such as the 2019 *The Lion King*, but those belong to different production classifications. The question specifically names Walt Disney Animation Studios.
