“Finding Nemo.”

In a summer-movie season when almost nothing the Hollywood studios put out seems to be working, there is one thing that’s saving the year: animated movies.

From “Zootopia” earlier this year to “The Angry Birds Movie” and the record-breaking “Finding Nemo” sequel, “Finding Dory,” kids seem to be the key demo at the movies this summer. (In fact, four of the top 10 grossing films at the domestic box office so far in 2016 are animated movies.)

Universal Pictures hopes that will continue on July 8 when the anticipated “The Secret Life of Pets” opens in theaters.

With animated movies making a killing at the box office, we decided to look back on the 15 all-time highest-grossing animated movies. (Get ready for a lot of old-school Disney titles.)
