Movie hit Frozen has become the biggest animated hit of all time – taking more than £800m at the worldwide box office.

Its DVD and Blu-ray sales aren’t bad either, as more than 3m copies of the Disney smash have been shifted since 2010 – beating Bond’s Skyfall.

Almost 900,000 flew off the shelves when it was released in the spring and just last week 160,000 were sold as parents stocked up on small-screen entertainment for Christmas.

‘The British fans have taken Olaf (the snowman) and his pals to their hearts this year,’ said Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot.

Even the soundtrack is the second biggest selling album of the year, with more than 800,000 sales.

The song Let It Go, performed by Idina Menzel in her vocal role as Queen Elsa, has sold 779,000 copies.

A forthcoming short spin-off film – Frozen Fever – will open in cinemas on March 27 as the opener for new Disney live action film Cinderella.
