Finding Nemo surpassed the Lion King as top animated film !

Finding Nemo surpassed The Lion King at the box office yesterday, breaking the long-held animated film record for ticket sales, tracking firm Exhibitor Relations reported on Friday.

"'Nemo' is the biggest film of the summer, the biggest film of the year, and now it is the biggest animated feature of all time," Exhibitor Relations said.

"Nemo" had sold $328.7 million in tickets by the end of Thursday, topping the $328.5 million that "Lion King" sold in its original release and a recent large-format Imax reissue.

Since ticket prices were lower when "Lion King" came out, "Nemo" still has a way to go before it can claim a bigger audience.

Box office record aside i take the Lion King over Nemo any day, the story in LK is far better than Nemo and the only way it made more money its like u said, ticket price were cheaper when the LK came out!

omg i loved the Lion king.............it was disney's finest orginal idea
Nemo is great too but i guess better marketing and MORE people around along with expensive tickets will give it the edge

lion king beats nemo any day of the week any week of the month and any month out of the year and any year out of a decade and so on and so on, just want to get the point that lion king is still the best animated movie across, followed by alladin

finding nemo was funny but lion king is class

Yeah I agree with all of you, Finding Nemo is a fun movie with better animation due to technological advances but the Lion King is a classic with a far better story. If Lion King tickets would cost the same as Nemo's, Simba would be devouring that defective little fish as we speak !

Ticket prices haven't changed THAT much- Nemo is on course to beat Lion King.

In any case, inflation adjusted, 'Snow White' and 'The Jungle Book' trash them both. 'Fantasia' is comfortably clear of The Lion King as well.

I think The Lion King is a good film but I don't see what the fuss with the plot is about- it's just a slightly altered Bambi (which, btw, Nemo will have to beat for inflation adjusted figures first before it gets to The Lion King).

Lion King was lame, I hated that damn movie👇

Lion King is the best, Finding Nemo was crap

Lion King-->crap
Nemo--> Great

Nemo was OK, not as good as I was expecting, but its way better than the crappy Lion King😛

i disagree i think The Lion King was a excellent movie. I mean i have seen alot of animation movies but the Lion KIng moved me emotionaly.
it will always remain one of my favourites animation movie

but LION KING still holds the worldwide record of 728 million dollars. An unsurpassed total. finding nemo isnt even near. u know usa aint everything

yeah but i have seen ALOT of movies and none in my honest opinion be better then the Lion KIng

Ok. lol

It was commercially successful. But Princess Monokoe and Spirited Away were better in terms of plot and artwork.

Lion King still holds record worldwide hands down.......

ya no 1 even knows. usa aint everything lol. lion king is the best animated movie of all times. and

MUFASA is the best animated character of all times 4 me

I will also take LK over Nemo anyday of the year. Maybe it's because that was my childhood and now that im older I dont take as much interest in Disneys..
