Talk:List of highest-grossing animated films of the 1980s

Highest-grossing by year
This list is not a list of the highest-grossing animated films of the year as it does not include reissues of Disney films which outgrossed those listed. Does the list need to be clearer that it is only films that were made that year that are included or should it include reissues or perhaps separately note the higher-grossing reissues?

For instance, the following films had reissues where the US gross exceeds that listed for a year/for the top 20: 1980 Lady and the Tramp $27 million 1981 Cinderella $28 million 1982 Bambi $23 million; Peter Pan $17 million; Fantasia about $16 million; Robin Hood around $15 million 1983 Snow White $30 million; The Rescuers $21 million 1984 Jungle Book $26 million; Pinocchio $26 million (although most probably in 1985 as released at Xmas) 1985 101 Dalmatians $33 million 1986 Lady and the Tramp $31 million; Sleeping Beauty $15 million 1987 Snow White $47 million; Cinderella $34 million; Aristocats $17 million 1988 Bambi $39 million 1989 Peter Pan $29 million; The Rescuers $22 million

Looking at totals, this roughly equates to: Snow White $77 million Cinderella $62 million Bambi $62 million Lady and the Tramp $58 million Peter Pan $46 million The Rescuers $43 million 101 Dalmatians $33 million Fantasia about $30 million Jungle Book $26 million Pinocchio $26 million Aristocats $17 million Sleeping Beauty $15 million Robin Hood around $15 million Sudiani (talk) 20:48, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I think it is generally understood that "animated films of the 1980s" means animated films whose initial release was in the 1980s. That being said, the list doesn't do that particularly well either. Honestly, I don't think there is any way to fix this list because we simply don't have the sources we would need. Ping who made some insightful comments about the issues with the list during the AfD back in December. TompaDompa (talk) 20:58, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
