Big news: Frozen's writer and director, Jennifer Lee, is officially the first women to direct a film that has grossed over $1 billion. Yay!

Here's some perspective to put this amazing accomplishment into context: It's hard enough for women to get a movie made, let alone gross $1 billion (only 18 films have done it). So, y'know, this is kind of a HUGE deal.

Also significant: Apparently, the movie is also only the second animated film to pass the 10-figure mark.

Now...everyone go see Frozen.
