The First Despicable Me is pure perfection in the world of animated comedies. So, to see a former villain like Gru take on an even wickeder bad guy was the perfect way to solidify this franchise as Iconic. The second Despicable Me film made over $970,700,000 worldwide.

When you look at Finding Nemo’s legacy as one of the most iconic animated feature films of all time, it makes sense that a sequel starring its most-beloved character would do astonishingly well at the global box office. Plus, Finding Dory is arguably just as heartfelt and exciting as its predecessor. It made over $1,028,000,000!

There’s only one film that could possibly follow up Toy Story 3 on this list, and that’s Toy Story 4. This one takes Woody and Buzz in a different direction than the first three movies, and it’s a super interesting take on what happens when our main character stops getting all the attention. Toy Story 4 earned Pixar over $1,073,000,000.

With box office champions like Marvel dominating the scene, it’s easy to forget that one of the greatest superhero films ever made was the 2004 animation The Incredibles. The 14-year wait for a sequel proved itself useful to Pixar, because Incredibles 2 made over $1,242,000,000 at the global box office.

There was a time when you couldn’t go anywhere in public without hearing “Let It Go” over a speaker. The story is great and the characters are lovable, but if nothing else, the music from this film will never stop being iconic. Frozen made over $1,290,000,000 worldwide.

The realism of The Lion King remake makes it easy to forget that it’s all CGI. The cast is made up of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars (Beyoncé, Donald Glover, and John Oliver to name a few). And James Earl Jones reprising his role of Mufasa was nothing short of a blessing. This film made over $1,657,000,000 at the global box office! It’s also the eighth highest-grossing movie of all time.
