The Disney animated feature Frozen has become the fifth highest grossing film in box office history.

The film, loosely based on the story The Snow Queen written by Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), has taken $1.219 billion at the box office since it was released last November.

Two months ago, it was confirmed that Frozen is the highest earning animation of all time and it now sits just above Iron Man 3 and just behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 overall.
