The year 2025 became the most successful year in history for Chinese animated films. According to data from online platforms, total box office revenue for animated films exceeded 25 billion Chinese yuan, setting a new record in the history of the Chinese film industry.
Among the most profitable films of the year are No Zha 2, Zootopia 2 (in Czech Zootropolis: City of Animals 2) and Nobody, which occupied the top three positions in the animated film box office rankings. This success confirms the growing popularity of domestic animation and its ability to compete with foreign productions not only in terms of quality but also commercial performance.
The box office takings for animated films in 2025 not only exceeded expectations, but also underscored the strength of the Chinese film market and its potential for further growth in the areas of digital entertainment and cultural exports.
