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

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

Ne Zha 2 has dethroned Pixar's Inside Out 2 as the highest-grossing animated movie of all time, but what is it and how did it make so much money?

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.

Chinese animated film Ne Zha 2 has become the highest grosser of all time. It has surpassed Disney's Inside Out 2. The sequel of Ne Zha released on January 29.

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.
