Top Worldwide Toonage -- 2009

Variety has published its list of top movie grossers for 2009. Therefore, we run a compendium of last year's top animated titles for your reading pleasure:

#3 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs -- $888 million.

#6 Up -- $710 million.

#12 Monsters Vs. Aliens -- $381 million.

#18 Disney's A Christmas Carol -- $311 million.

#25 Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs -- $205 million.

#41 Coraline -- $124 million.

#44 The Princess and the Frog -- $116 million.

#62 Planet 51 -- $89 million.

And then there were the Animation Hybrids:

#2 Avatar -- $899 million.

#4 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen -- $835 million.

#20 G-Force -- $284 million.

#22 Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel -- $229 million.

Beyond the above (a few of which are still in release), you could also consider most (or all?) of the major, effects laden live-action pictures as being partially animated, but then you would encompass most of last year's bigger releases.
