The box office game is a tough competition, but Mario and Luigi have never backed down from a challenge. So it comes as no surprise that The Super Mario Bros. Movie won the box office Easter weekend with super sized numbers. This has movie fans wondering, what are the highest grossing animated movies of all time?

According to Box Office Mojo, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has a worldwide total of $377.6 million as of April 10. Based on the wildly popular Nintendo video games, the movie enjoyed a $368 million opener, New York Post shares, surpassing Frozen as the biggest opening for an animated film.
