A congratulations is in order for Disney’s newest animated film, Toy Story 3. The animated feature has become quite the popular movie over the past few months, bringing back the loveable toys in a third installment of the film while also breaking some box office feats! If you don’t already know, Toy Story 3 has recently become the highest-grossing animated film of all time! But that’s not all, on Friday, the film passed the $1 billion mark at the global box office, joining Alice in Wonderland as the second $1 billion film this year from Walt Disney Studios—the first studio in history to accomplish this feat! Disney crossed the $1 billion threshold with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in 2006 but Toy Story 3 is the only animated film to reach this milestone and the seventh title in industry history!

“It’s been an incredible year as we saw the Pixar team bring Buzz and Woody back to the big screen and watched Tim Burton’s vision for Alice in Wonderland take the world by storm,” said Rich Ross, Chairman, The Walt Disney Studios. “These box office triumphs prove that creative storytelling brought to life by imaginative, inspired and talented professionals is something audiences respond to the world over.”

As of Thursday, Toy Story 3 tallied more than $592.9 million internationally, Disney’s largest international animated release. The popular film is also making waves all over the world with Latin American audiences contributing $138 million. Toy Story 3 is the most successful UK release in Disney history and currently stands as the fourth biggest title in territory history with $102.4 million in box office receipts. Over in Japan, the film has taken in $111.2 million and spent five consecutive weeks as the #1 movie. Toy Story 3 currently ranks as the #7 film in global box office history and domestically ranks #9 with $404.6 million in receipts to date.

This is sure to do wonders for Walt Disney World’s Toy Story 3 ride Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios where guests can enjoy a 4-D world of midway style games hosted by Woody, Buzz, Jessie, Rex, Hamm and more! For those who have seen the third installment of the animated movie, it’s the perfect ride to make you feel like you’re really a part of the action. And for those of you who haven’t quite made it to the theater yet, Toy Story Mania is a great way to get a little preview for what’s in store when you actually do get a chance to catch the animated film.

Congratulations again to Walt Disney Studios and Toy Story 3! We sure hope you continue producing record-breaking animated films for years to come!
