Chinese juggernaut Ne Zha 2 overtook Inside Out 2 in February as the top-grossing animated film of all time — mostly from a staggering estimated $1.89 billion in its home country alone.

The Despicable Me franchise centers on Gru, a super-villain (who later becomes a dad and superhero); his yellow-coloured Minions; and his three orphan girls, Margo, Edith and Agnes.
