What was the production budget of Frozen (2013) in millions?

The story behind the answer

The production budget of Frozen (2013) was $150 million. In the question’s requested units, that is 150 million dollars.

That figure places Frozen among the most expensive animated films produced at the time. Walt Disney Animation Studios invested heavily in computer animation, musical production, detailed snow and ice effects, voice recording, and a rapid final development period after the story underwent major revisions.

The $150 million figure refers to the production budget, not the complete cost of releasing and promoting the film. Marketing, distribution, and other expenses are counted separately, which is why some reports have cited a much larger overall cost. Frozen ultimately became a huge commercial success, earning more than $1.28 billion worldwide and ranking as the highest-grossing film released in 2013. Its budget is also sometimes confused with the similarly reported budget of Frozen II.
