The article titled 'Good Dinosaur: Analyzing Pixar’s First Box-Office Disaster' discusses the animated movie's performance, which is projected to be the lowest among Pixar's releases and the first to incur a loss for Disney. Despite the setback with 'The Good Dinosaur', Disney had a record-breaking year at the box office in 2015, largely due to the success of 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' and 'Inside Out'.
'Inside Out 2' has achieved a box office milestone, becoming Pixar's highest-grossing film globally and securing its place as the fourth biggest animated movie ever. The sequel surpassed 'Incredibles 2', with a global revenue of $1.25 billion.
