Frozen is biggest animation ever

Frozen is biggest animation ever

Disney animation “Frozen” has become the top-grossing animated film in box office history. The musical film has now made $1.072bn globally, beating the previous record by “Toy Story 3” of $1.063bn in 2010.
The film, loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen fairytale The Snow Queen, opened in North America on November 27. It stayed in the top 10 in the US and Canada film chart for more than three months, and is now also the 10th biggest grossing film in box office history.
However, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the animation is facing stiff competition from Warner Bros and Village Roadshow's “The Lego Movie”, which was released in February and has already made more than $400m globally - the first film of 2014 to do so. And it has not opened everywhere yet - it is due to be released in Australia on Thursday and in Germany next week.
