This is going to be short, but I feel it's important enough to share.

Many of you have seen "Frozen", but did you know that it is now the highest-grossing original animated film of all time? The only one that has grossed more is "The Lion King", which has only earned more money thanks to its 3D rerelease in 2011. Frozen has passed The Lion King's original theatrical gross, and to date has earned more than $810 million worldwide. That makes it the 42nd highest-grossing film EVER!

To top that, the film is not only still in theaters, but still performing beyond even the most optomistic expectations. What's more, the film has yet to reach theaters in Japan and China - among the largest foreign markets for animation. Assuming it has just as well of a reception there as it has around the rest of the world (and BoxOfficeMojo predicts it will), it looks all but confirmed that Frozen will end up with a gross of over $1 BILLION worldwide!

That would make it one of the top 20 highest-grossing films of all time. If it passes $1.063 billion, it will become the highest-grossing animated film of all time (that's Toy Story 3's mark, and the mark that Frozen will undoubtedly beat).

An original animated film has NEVER seen this kind of reception before, and what's more, only Avatar and Titanic have seen such as great of a response among ANY original films! What do you think? With the success of Frozen, has the world come to love animation once more? Share your thoughts in the comments!
