[O]f all the impressive stats generated by the sequel, the sweetest number for Disney Channel stewards may be the fact that one-third of the telepic's aud was comprised of adults 18 and over. The number of young adults (18-34s) and older-younger adults (18-49s) who watched stand as empirical evidence for Disney Channel programming execs that their master plan is working. For a network oriented around grade-schoolers, engaging the attention of voting-age viewers is a coup. Getting kids and moms and dads to all sit still at the same time and gather round the electronic hearth as in the days of yesteryear and three networks (NBC, CBS and DuMont) is an absolute slam dunk in our frantically fragmented age, even even for a commercial-free cabler that isn't worried about selling soap.

The Disney Channel's latest cartoon effort is Phineas & Ferb. It comes from the creative talent of "The Simpsons" and "The Family Guy", but is aimed at younger audience. Phineas and Ferb are stepbrothers who somehow always manage to get into trouble during their summer school break and Candace is their scheming sister.

On January 24, 2006, Disney announced that it had agreed to buy Pixar for approximately $7.4 billion in an all-stock deal. Following Pixar shareholder approval, the acquisition was completed May 5, 2006. The transaction catapulted Steve Jobs, who was the majority shareholder of Pixar with 50.1%, to Disney's largest individual shareholder with 7% and a new seat on its board of directors. Jobs' new Disney holdings outpace holdings belonging to ex-CEO Eisner, the previous top shareholder who still held 1.7%, and Disney Director Emeritus Roy E. Disney who held almost 1% of the corporation's shares. Roy Disney's criticisms of Eisner included the soured Pixar relationship and accelerated Eisner's ouster.

All the shows are presented, as they air on the Disney Channel, in 1.33:1 "fullscreen." Some of the episodes -- especially the newer ones -- may have been created with the wider 16x9 dimensions in mind (the first DVD release of "Kim Possible" featured its shows in 1.66:1), but certainly, they are ... framed for the standard television aspect ratio and as they match the broadcast, this is perfectly acceptable. The DVD's video presentation is on par with and slightly better than broadcast quality. The disc doesn't offer any great revelations over the way many of these episodes have appeared on Disney Channel (and sometimes Saturday mornings on ABC) over the past few years. Accordingly, "Lizzie McGuire" and "Even Stevens" look a bit softer and grainier than some network television series. From time-to-time "Lizzie" also uses low-grade handheld video for its brief stylized flashbacks, although its seemingly sincere employment of what is clearly stock footage for the Christmas parade is more than a little silly and stands out like a sore thumb.

La Nouba at Downtown Disney Westside is being rumored to be having a price increase in the near future. Recently some restructuring of the seating categories was implemented, with a new 'Front and Center' category being added to the existing Category 1, 2 and 3. The information suggests that the new 'Front and Center' section may increase to around $140, along with increases for the other categories as well. This is not yet officially confirmed, and as always is subject to change.
