Why it's admired:
The famed storytellers at Walt Disney had a breakout year in 2013. After years of producing disappointing flicks, Walt Disney Animation Studios hit a homerun with Frozen. The animated musical has grossed nearly $1 billion and is set to outsell The Lion King in overall box office sales. The movie struck such a chord with Disney's audience that the company has plans to bring it to Broadway. --C.F.
