Disney Animation's Zootopia has officially broken the all-time box-office debut weekend take with a $74 Million domestic haul. As Variety has reported, the studio's 55th feature film has not only been incredibly successful at the box office, now with a $233 Million global box-office intake, but also scoring an incredibly impressive 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Zootopia bests the previous domestic box office record for Disney Animation previously held by Frozen's $67 Million, and stands alongside 1938's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (98% Fresh), 1940's Pinocchio (100% Fresh), and 1961's 101 Dalmatians (98% Fresh) with the studio's highest universal critical acclaim records. Read more to find out what Zootopia's success means for Disney Animation in the future after the break.

Although the impeccable world-building, amazing character design and animation, and the unforgivingly talented voice cast stand out as some of the greatest aspects of the March 4th release, Zootopia proves that story is king of the jungle (or uh mayor of the city, in this case). While not a perfect film, Zootopia looks to stand next to Disney's very best in the new, golden resurgence that the studio so desperately needed, and respectfully deserved.
