What do Tarzan, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid all have in common? Yes they are all Disney classics but now, thanks to recent developments, they all are now also trailing Big Hero Six on the list of highest grossing Disney movies of all time.
Big Hero Six, which centers around a group of robots led by a boy who try to save the world, now ranks third on the list of highest grossing animated Disney films, behind only The Lion King and Frozen. As of now, it has grossed $220 million. There are a couple caveats, however. This only represents domestic earnings, not worldwide, and does not include Pixar films, as Disney and Pixar are considered different entities. Not to mention inflation.
Nevertheless, having just been released in theaters on November 7 of this past year, the film has been ridiculously popular already and is likely to continue it has just been released on DVD and memorabilia will soon spread, with the fluffy robot Baymax leading the charge. It has also been nominated for an Oscar in best animated film of the year.
I will admit, I haven't yet seen the movie but I was bombarded with articles across the Internet advertising its success this past week and will certainly check it out when I get the chance. Good movies often are hard to come by and I'm looking forward to seeing it.
