Did Frozen do well? (2023)

Is Frozen 1 hit or flop?

During its theatrical run, the film was a significant commercial success, earning $1.280 billion in worldwide box office revenue, overtaking Toy Story 3 to become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, and carried its position until it was overtaken by the remake of The Lion King in 2019.

Released in 2013, Disney's Frozen was expected to do the same sort of business as predecessors such as Tangled and Bolt. It knocked those films into a distant dimension. Taking $1.2 billion, it became the highest-grossing animated feature in the history of the medium.

The thin plot didn't hold up to scrutiny, and even the songs didn't live up to the ubiquitous "Let It Go." Despite this, Frozen 2 went on to make $1.450 billion worldwide, compared to the $1.280 billion of the first movie.

It's a Throwback

But, especially at a time when many other animation studios have become overly reliant on sequels and ultrahip, wiseass-y humor, Frozen stands out for its old-fashioned story — with its regal setting, its lonely princess in a castle, its kingdom under a spell — and for its visual splendor.

The Disney megahit was almost a disaster, until a series of creative brainstorms saved the day. In 2014, the Disney movie Frozen became the top-grossing animated movie of all time.

The sequel has generated $1.325 billion at the global box office, pushing past “Frozen” ($1.281 million) and “Incredibles 2” ($1.243 million) to secure the top spot.

Despite Disney's best efforts across the board, Frozen 2 ended up being a disappointment compared to the original Frozen. In some ways, this was inevitable. Frozen was a monster hit in 2013, becoming the highest-grossing film of the year and highest-grossing animated film ever at that time.

As of September 2022, "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" (2015) remained the highest-grossing Disney movie of all time in Canada and the United States, having grossed almost 934 million U.S. dollars across the two countries - collectively known as the North American box office market.

Which Disney movie made the most money?

Elsa, princess of Arendelle and heiress to the throne, is born with the ability to create and control ice and snow. As a child, she uses her abilities to create a winter wonderland to play in with her younger sister and best friend, Princess Anna.

"Let it go! Let it go! Can't hold it back anymore!" -Elsa.

It did, however, enjoy the all-time biggest worldwide opening weekend for an animated film ($358.5 million), readily eclipsing the previous record set by Toy Story 4 ($244.5 million) and then subsequently broken by The Lion King ($245.9 million) earlier that same year.

While the 2015 entry The Good Dinosaur scored more positive reviews than Cars 2, it stands as the studio's lowest-grossing film in history by far—which is even more striking when taking into account that Pixar films released over a decade earlier, without the benefit of 3D ticket prices, made more money.

Release and box office gross

From February 25 to March 2, 2006, Zyzzyx Road was shown once a day, at noon, at the Highland Park Village Theater in Dallas, Texas, in one auditorium rented by the producers for $1,000.

Disney wasn't always the media behemoth it is today, in fact, this movie nearly ended the company. In 1985, Disney released its 25th animated feature, The Black Cauldron.

Believe it or not, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez's first major award for Frozen was Best Original Song for "Let It Go" at the 2014 Oscars.

What is the main problem in Frozen?

The internal conflict is the personality clash, and Kristoff's loner outlook versus Anna's extreme desire to be loved. The external conflict is that Anna is engaged to Hans and the whole kingdom is frozen.

Turns out Frozen has all the elements a kid wants in a movie. Their parents seem to enjoy it, there are no scary witches, there's a strong family dynamic, the princess saves the day, and one of the main characters struggles with uncontrollable, strong, and passionate emotions.

According to Frozen director, Jennifer Lee, Elsa stands at approximately 5'7", while Anna is a more average 5'5." Lee admits she may be off by a couple of inches as their heights are from her memory, but recalls these as the correct measurements for the sisters.

Tangled had better animal sidekicks than Frozen.

The animation of his face and movements oozed so much personality in comparison with Sven, who was sort of a Maximus Lite. It was also great to see a sidekick who was actively working against our main characters for part of the film and had to reluctantly tag along.

Lin-Manuel Miranda has another hit song on his hands. Disney's latest animated film, Encanto, has soared to the top of the Billboard charts and has managed to dethrone one of the most popular songs from Frozen.
