Toy Story 3 Tops $1 Billion and Becomes Biggest Disney 3D Movie in History
09.06.10
The accolades just keep coming for Toy Story 3, which bodes well for Disney Interactive Studios’ Toy Story 3 catalog of videogames. The Disney•Pixar feature film has earned over $1 billion (and counting) at the worldwide box office, joining Alice in Wonderland as the second $1 billion film this year from The Walt Disney Studios. Disney’s the first studio in history to accomplish this feat – and the fact that both films are in 3D certainly played a role in the success story. Disney first crossed the $1 billion threshold with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in 2006 – the fourth film in that franchise is currently filming in 3D.  Toy Story 3 becomes the only animated film to reach this milestone and the seventh title in industry history.
