To infinity and beyond -- or at least to the record books. Disney-Pixar's "Toy Story 3" is now the highest grossing animated movie in history, having collected more than $920 million to date, Disney touted Friday.

The movie became the best Pixar performer on Thursday.

"Toy Story 3" is expected to become Disney's second film to cross the $400 million domestic box office mark. ("Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" was the first.) It currently ranks as the fourth-highest ranking film in company history, globally. The movie opened June 18 to a $109 million weekend.

Separately, Disney announced that "Toy Story 3" will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on Nov. 2.
