Top 10 highest-grossing Pixar films
Daily Tens #9 · Wednesday, July 22, 2026 · Ranked by worldwide theatrical box office
Heads up: the answers are published further down this page.
About this ranking
This is the January 2026 ranking used for our July 22 puzzle. Inside Out 2 leads that archived answer list. Film release years below help distinguish sequels; the ranking itself is based on worldwide theatrical box office.
The answers
| Rank | Answer | Release year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inside Out 2 | 2024 |
| 2 | Incredibles 2 | 2018 |
| 3 | Toy Story 4 | 2019 |
| 4 | Toy Story 3 | 2010 |
| 5 | Finding Dory | 2016 |
| 6 | Finding Nemo | 2003 |
| 7 | Inside Out | 2015 |
| 8 | Coco | 2017 |
| 9 | Monsters University | 2013 |
| 10 | Up | 2009 |
The cutoff is January 2026, even though the puzzle ran in July. Later releases and later box-office revisions do not change the saved answers. Release years are context, not the sorting metric.
What does worldwide box office measure?
The puzzle compares cinema ticket revenue across theatrical markets. It excludes streaming views, merchandise sales and audience ratings. A domestic-only list or a list adjusted for ticket-price inflation uses a different basis and may put the films in a different order.
Which films qualify for this Pixar quiz?
The list is limited to Pixar-produced feature films. Disney distributes films from several studios, so a Disney release is not automatically a Pixar film. Pixar’s own feature-film catalogue is a useful check when you are deciding whether a title belongs in the candidate pool.
Why do older box-office articles show different numbers?
Revenue totals accumulate during a theatrical run. For example, Disney reported Inside Out 2 at $1.46 billion worldwide on July 24, 2024. That was a dated milestone during release, not its final lifetime total. Always compare the same geographic scope and cutoff when checking a ranking.
Release years are context, not a revenue chart
The added year column helps identify a particular film and its place in Pixar’s catalogue. It is not the quantity used to sort the answers. Inside Out 2 and Incredibles 2 sit above some older films because of the archived worldwide box-office order, not because newer releases automatically rank higher. A bar chart based only on release years would communicate chronology, not commercial magnitude. No January 2026 dollar amounts are inferred from the films’ ranks or from a later live table.
How to check an apparent disagreement
First confirm the production studio, then match worldwide rather than domestic revenue, and finally compare the cutoff. A list restricted to original theatrical runs can differ from a lifetime list that includes re-releases. A figure quoted during an active release can differ from the eventual total. These checks are more useful than assuming a different list is wrong because one sequel has moved. The replay preserves the original answers while the release-year context remains independently inspectable in Pixar’s official catalogue.
