The Box Office Success Of ‘Frozen’, ‘Toy Story’, and ‘Zootopia’

This should come as no surprise as all three films have had major success at the box office worldwide. 'Frozen' (2013) earned 1.2 billion with its sequel 'Frozen 2' (2019) earning 1.4 billion, and both 'Toy Story 4' (2019) and 'Zootopia' (2016) grossed over one billion.

On top of their financial success, these films have all taken home plenty of awards. 'Toy Story 3,' 'Toy Story 4,' 'Frozen,' and 'Zootopia' have all received Best Animated Feature at the Oscars. Frozen’s hit original song “Let It Go” (sung by Broadway superstar Idina Menzel) won Best Original Song at the 2020 Academy Awards.

The animation giant has released plenty of amazing titles such as 'Encanto,' which also won Best Animated Feature at the 2022 Academy Awards. However popular, none of these titles were able to achieve the financial success of the aforementioned films.

But Do We Need More Sequels?

Some may say there’s no need for a sequel to these films but I think, there are plenty of stories left to tell. What type of adventures (or misadventures) can the sisters get into now that Elsa is the Snow Queen and Anna rules as the Queen of Arendelle? How expansive has Zoopotia become since the last film? And while Woody and Buzz may have parted ways (for now), there’s always something that brings the duo back together, plus we all would love to see a post-college Andy.

Those who are craving original stories can look forward to Pixar’s ‘Wish’ from Walt Disney Animation in the fall.
