Toy Story 2 becomes #2 animated film of all time

Toy Story 2 Becomes Second Highest Domestic Grossing Animated Feature of All Time

Pixar Animation Studios announced today that the studio's third animated feature film, Toy Story 2, released in partnership with Walt Disney Pictures, has become the second highest grossing animated picture of all time in domestic release. Toy Story 2 passed the $217 million milestone this past Sunday, less than seven weeks after its release on November 24.

With the success of Toy Story 2, Pixar has now created half of the six top domestic grossing animated films of all time:

Film	Created By	Year	Domestic Gross
The Lion King	Disney	1994	$312
Toy Story 2	Pixar	1999	$220+ (still in theaters)
Aladdin	Disney	1993	$217
Toy Story	Pixar	1995	$192
Tarzan	Disney	1999	$170
A Bug's Life	Pixar	1998	$163

"Pixar has become one of the two major forces in animation today," said Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar. "Pixar's unique storytelling combined with its pioneering 3D computer animation is clearly appealing to audiences of all ages."

"Toy Story 2 is the result of an amazing collaborative effort by the incredibly talented group we have here at Pixar," said John Lasseter, Pixar's Executive Vice President of Creative and the Director of Toy Story 2. "We are really excited that everyone loves this film as much as we do."

Toy Story 2 has been breaking records since its November 24 release. The film's three-day opening gross of $57.4 million and five-day opening gross of $80.8 million are the highest opening grosses of any animated film in history.
