The Walt Disney Company topped the list as the leading animated film distributor with 28.3 percent market share between 2012 and 2023, followed by Universal Pictures International and Twentieth Century Fox.
Beyond Disney
'The Jungle Book' has generated nearly 15 million admissions in France since its original theatrical release in 1968, which makes it the most popular Disney animated movie since 1945. While Disney animated films have paved the way for animation, other studios such as Universal Studios also managed to release very successful productions. Respectively 3.92 and 1.92 million moviegoers indeed watched Minions: The Rise of Gru and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish on the big screen in France.
For young and old alike
While the number of animated films released in theatres is slowly increasing, despite a sharp decrease in 2020, those films are no longer the prerogative of children and the public is diversifying. In 2022, 26.2 percent of the general audience of animated movies were aged between 25 and 49 years old in France and more than 20 percent of the audience distribution was made up of people of higher socio-professional categories.
