List of highest-grossing live-action/animated films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of the highest-grossing live-action/animated films, films that combine live action and animation characters. CGI characters are only included if they are portrayed as visually distinct from their live-action surroundings—otherwise, the majority of live-action movies which use CGI visual effects would be included.

Highest-grossing live-action/animated films[]

All of the films have had a theatrical run (including re-releases) since 1980, and films that have not played since then do not appear on the chart due to ticket-price inflation, population size and ticket purchasing trends not being considered.

2009, 2011, and 2016 are the most represented years on the list, with four films each.
