Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale The Snow Queen, the first Frozen film hit theaters in 2013. The film became an instant buzz thanks to its iconic voice cast – Kristen Bell as Anna, Idina Menzel as Elsa, Jonathan Groff as Kristoff and Josh Gad as Olaf the Snowman. It grossed US$1.28 billion worldwide at the time, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film of all time. It ranks 22nd among other highest-grossing films of all time.
Its outstanding soundtrack includes tracks such as Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez’s Do You Want to Build a Snowman? and the Academy Award-winning Let It Go, which as of June 2016 had sold over 4.1 million copies and been streamed over 51 million times.
Released in 2019, Frozen 2 earned USD 1.45 billion at the worldwide box office, surpassing its predecessor and becoming the fourteenth highest-grossing film in history. It introduced new magical elements, locations, and characters to the fascinating fantasy world of Arendelle.
