The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on November 3, 2021, and was theatrically released in the United States and Canada on November 24 over a 30-day theatrical run in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. It received positive reviews from critics but has underperformed commercially as of January 2022, due to its shortened theatrical run before becoming available on Disney+. It has grossed over $207 million and it was the highest-grossing animated film of 2021.
