Disney / Pixar
Finding Nemo earned nearly $381 million at the box office in 2003.
While the world of Disney films may have began with animation and princess' castles, Walt's kingdom has become much, much more.
Since its first film in 1937, the company has released some of the most iconic blockbusters ever, packing out cinemas across the globe.
At the end of 2016, Disney provided Business Insider with a complete list of every single feature film it has released throughout history, compiled by year of release.
We then researched the box office numbers for the films on the list - as well as the top-grossing film in 2017 - in order to determine which was most successful each year since 1937.
Only films that went straight to theatre, and have publicly available box office figures, have been included in our ranking. The numbers are based on US lifetime gross figures provided by Box Office Mojo and IMDB.
Scroll down to see the highest-grossing Disney film every year since 1937, from oldest to newest.
Note: Years where there was no theatrical release, or box office figures were not available have been excluded from the list. These are: 1938, 1939, 1944, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1958, and 1972.
