2011 is not a good year. Period. It fall short of expectations of its rivals 2007, 2009 and 2010. Luckly, it did so much better than 2004 to 2006, and 2008. 2011 animated films grossed less money the box office than 2010 animated films did, with most films grossed $200 million domestically, and Toy Story 3, 2010's most successful film, tops all the films that were released in 2010. 2011 was the best year for animated films so far, and 2007 did also well.

2011 animtaion grossed $1.3 billion, the fourth biggest blockbuster films in history following 2010's $1.8 billion, 2007's $1.5 billion and 2009's $1.4 billion. 2004 made $1.1 billion following its computer animation success of Shrek 2, which grossed $441 million domestically, ranking 6th of all-time, and highest for animated film. 2005 is the worst for animated films ever with just $634 million. It's now below 15 percent of the gross of 2010.

As 2011 animated films got off to a horrible start with release of Rnago ($123 million) and Gnomeo & Juliet ($99 million), ''Scooby-Doo! The Movie'' actually boatss up this year with $292 million. Meanwhile, summer 2011 animated films are hot when Sonic X: The Final Stand grossed $300 million, the only animated film that can past it since Toy Story 3 cross the mark in 2010. It retains as the Sonic the Hedgehog's highest-grossing film ever. Kung Fu Panda 2 and Cars 2 are also hot, but not hot as their predecessors.

But it's not over yet, more animated films are hitting theaters including Puss in Boots, Happy Feet Two and The Adventures of Tintin.
