We can't let it go when it comes to how successful the 2013 Disney animated movie has been since its release. Sure, it's full of catchy songs and meaningful messages — as are all Disney movies — but that's just the beginning of its appeal. Frozen has blown its competition out of the water, year after year, and we have director Jennifer Lee (who also cowrote the film) to thank for it!
Lee's codirector, Chris Buck, obviously deserves a shout-out as well for grossing $400.7 million domestically and $875.7 million in the foreign market (about $1.276 billion total), making Frozen the highest-grossing animated film (or any film, for that matter) by a female director. The cold clearly isn't bothering either of these directors, and it's obvious why Disney has signed on for a sequel.
