Frozen has become the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time worldwide, after reaching nearly $1.22 billion. 

Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee (pictured right), the animated musical is now the second-highest grossing movie for Disney, just behind The Avengers. The Marvel superhero epic is third on the overall list, after making $1.5 billion globally. 

Frozen has also overtaken Iron Man 3 in the chart. The Robert Downey Jr film took $1.2 billion during its run, and is now left in the sixth spot, while Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is in fourth with $1.34 billion. 

Frozen has already become the highest-grossing animated film of all time, surpassing Toy Story 3, which took $1.06 billion worldwide. 

This news comes as Disney announce plans for Frozen to be adapted into a live ice skating show. The tour will begin in September 2014 with Mickey and Minnie Mouse taking the audience through the film's plot.

Nicole Feld (producer) said: "While it might seem obvious that Frozen is well suited for the ice, this Disney On Ice production will touch audiences emotionally through innovative show elements and world-class skating."

Frozen is also being adapted into a Broadway musical.
