“Big Hero 6” becomes 2014's top animated film worldwide

“Big Hero 6″ has reached yet another milestone. The heartwarming Disney feature has become 2014's biggest animated release worldwide.

The Oscar-winning movie has earned $221 million in the US. It will pass the $400 million mark at the international box office this weekend, raising its worldwide cumulative to $620 million and thereby surpassing “Fox's “How to Train Your Dragon 2's” global haul.

Last weekend, it overtook “Tangled” as the third biggest Walt Disney Animation Studios release ever globally, behind only “Frozen” and “The Lion King”. It's also the studio's third largest domestic release of all time.

“Big Hero 6″ continues doing strong business in China, where it opened just two weeks ago. After reeling in over $51 million, it's already surpassed “Frozen” to become the highest-grossing Disney or Pixar animated release in the country. Baymax, the film's marshmallow-like robot character, is a big hit in China.
