Speaking of animation, Forman was surprised by Frozen’s success in one country in particular. “Japanese audiences have a strong affinity for emotional, heartwarming stories, and we felt that Frozen would connect on that level, but Japan also has its own very strong animation tradition. So to have Frozen already become the fourth biggest film ever there and to still be going strong, it has really exceeded any expectation we could have had and speaks to the film’s high quality.”
