Gabarito:

A) INCORRECT: o fato do filme deter o recorde de filme de animação tradicional de maior bilheteria da história, isso não significa que ele é o melhor de todos.
B) INCORRECT: não é pelo fato do filme ter o recorde de animação tradicional de maior bilheteria da história que falamos que o filme mesmo sendo bom é animado, mas sim pelas críticas e reviews de especialistas.
C) CORRECT: como o trecho diz que o recorde de filme de animação tradicional de maior bilheteria da história é do Rei Leão, podemos afirmar com certeza que a animação não foi superada por nenhuma outra na bilheteria.
