Market share of animation film distributors 2013-2022

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 alikeWhile 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.

华特迪士尼公司自2012年至2023年一直位居动画电影发行商之首，市场份额高达28.3%，紧随其后的是环球影业国际公司和二十世纪福克斯公司。除了迪士尼的《狮子王》自1968年在法国首映以来，票房收入近1500万，成为自1945年以来最受欢迎的迪士尼动画电影之外，迪士尼的动画电影也为动画行业的发展奠定了基础。与此同时，其他如环球影业等工作室也成功推出了多部热门作品。具体而言，在法国大银幕上，有390万和190万的观众观看了《小黄人：格鲁的崛起》和《猫和老鼠：最后的愿望》。对于不同年龄段的观众而言，尽管动画电影在剧院的上映数量逐年缓慢增加，尽管2020年有所大幅下降，但这些电影已不再仅仅是儿童的专属，观众群体也在不断多元化。在2022年，法国动画电影的总观众中，有26.2%的观众年龄在25至49岁之间，且超过20%的观众来自较高社会职业阶层。
