Disney's 'Frozen' Becomes Highest Grossing Animation Of All-Time
Disney's 'Frozen' was released last November (2013) and has now become the highest grossing animation of all-time, beating the $1.063 billion mark which was set by the Disney/Pixar movie 'Toy Story 3' in 2010.
The plot is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, The Snow Queen, follows 'Princess Anna' (Bell), the future Queen of Arendelle, along with mountain man 'Kristoff' (Groff) races against time to prevent her sister, 'Elsa' (Menzel), from unwittingly turning the kingdom into an eternally icy realm, along the way 'Anna' meets new friends and learns vital life lessons.
'Frozen' is the first film from Disney Studios to surpass the $1 billion mark, and is the tenth to do so from Disney.
