The DreamWorks feature "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," directed by Rob Minkoff, opened in the United States this weekend with an estimated $32.5 million. The film settled for second place behind "300: Rise of An Empire."
It's a special day for directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. Their film "Frozen" will win the Best Animated Feature Oscar on the day that it crosses $1 billion in global box office revenue. It becomes, along with "Toy Story 3," only the second animated feature to achieve this distinction, and the 18th film overall.
2014 is shaping up to be one of the strongest years for quirky and original animated features. True, there's the usual spate of sequels—"Rio 2," "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "Planes: Fire and Rescue"—but looking beyond those films, there are some genuinely fresh ideas on the horizon, most notably Laika's "The Boxtrolls," Reel FX's "Book of Life," and Cartoon Saloon's "Song of the Sea."
Boosted in part by a sing-along version that was released into theaters, Disney's "Frozen" jumped back into second place this weekend, an amazing feat for a film now in its 10th weekend of wide release.
From mainstream releases to independent foreign productions, we've got a guide to the animated feature releases that you can look forward to in 2014.
