The number of animation movies produced for movie theaters in Japan amounted to 66 in 2020. This represented a considerable drop from 91 movies in the previous year, which had constituted the largest number recorded so far. One factor that contributed to the increase of animated movies observed during the most recent decade was the digitalization of production and screening, which made a higher output possible. The drop in 2020 was largely due to the effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) during that year, which in many cases led to a postponement of screenings.
