Undoubtedly, Disney's "Frozen" is a global phenomenon that is unanimously loved all over the world and it shows in its box office record as it is now the third highest grossing animated film of all-time with its gross nearing $1 billion!

After its 13th week in theaters, "Frozen" has grossed $378 million in the US, and $579 million internationally, for a grand total of $957 million, making "Frozen" the third highest grossing animated movie of all-time. "Frozen" is following behind two sequels, "Despicable Me 2" with $970 million worldwide, and "Toy Story 3" with $1 billion worldwide.

However, that record depends on whether or not you count re-releases of a film. With re-releases, The "Lion King" made $987 million, and "Frozen" has been chasing down its domestic gross record of $422 million. Once "Frozen" passes that mark, it will be Disney's highest domestic grossing animated film ever. With the way things are happening it's looking like the story of the sisters, Elsa and Anna is on track to demolish that record as it is still pulling in audiences with big enough numbers to keep it in the top 10 of box office earners.

In the international market, "Frozen's" success has come from its warm embrace by nations like the United Kingdom, where it's made $60.9 mil so far, Germany with $47 million, France with $42 million and Russia with $33 million. It seems that the Asian nation most enthralled with "Frozen" appears to be Korea, where "Frozen" has been at the top of the box office for five weeks running, and has already earned $66,4 million. In only its second week in China, "Frozen" has already made $28.4 million, and it's suspected that its upcoming release in Japan on March 15th will help boost it to the $1 billion marker.

"Frozen" is nominated for "Best Animated Film" and "Best Song" for "Let It Go" which became a worldwide hit that has been covered in a variety of styles. Idina Menzel herself will perform "Let it Go" come Oscars time.
