I've been hearing rumblings about this series for a while, but Disney has now officially green-lit and announced this new series staring China McClain.

Disney profit sinks 7%

by
Maybe Disney should have released those Kim Possible DVD Boxsets earlier...

Sad Mickey

(Reporting courtesy of The Orlando Sentinel)
Walt Disney Co. profit sank 7 percent during the final three months of its fiscal year, disappointing Wall Street as one-time adjustments dragged down the company's television networks and theme parks and more than offset gains from the blockbuster movie "Toy Story 3." Business remained soft at Walt Disney World during the July-through-September period, though the company said the resort's fall bookings are beginning to pick up. "Overall, we're encouraged by many of the trends we're seeing in our businesses," Disney Co. Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo said during a Thursday afternoon conference call with analysts. Disney made $835 million during the quarter, which ended Oct. 2, down from $895 million last year. Revenue dipped 1 percent to $9.7 billion. The results were hampered by the timing of certain revenue at the ESPN cable-TV network and a quirk in the company's accounting calendar that left this year's fiscal fourth quarter with one less week than last year's fourth quarter. Disney's full-year profit leapt 20 percent to just under $4 billion on revenue that was up 5 percent to $38.1 billion, thanks in large part to continuing advertising and affiliate-fee gains at ESPN and a slate of hit films that included "Toy Story 3," "Alice in Wonderland" and Marvel Entertainment's "Iron Man 2." Disney President and Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger called the year "a good one financially and strategically for our company." It was another difficult one, however, for the company's theme-park unit. Operating income at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts fell 7 percent for the year, to $1.3 billion -- the only one of Disney's five main segments in which profit fell. Sales inched up 1 percent to $10.8 billion. That annual performance included a fourth quarter in which operating profit sank 8 percent to $316 million on revenue of $2.8 billion, down 1 percent from a year earlier. Disney blamed the shrunken quarterly profit on rising labor costs and pension obligations at Disney World and Disneyland, and on falling sales at Disney Vacation Club, its time-share arm. The park results were also depressed by the calendar shift that left the company with one less week of operations than it had a year ago in the fourth quarter. For example, combined attendance at Disney World and Disneyland fell 6 percent compared with last year's fourth quarter -- but when the effect of last year's extra week was stripped out, this year's attendance actually inched up 1 percent compared with 2009. The biggest attendance gains occurred at Disney California Adventure, the second theme park at Disneyland, where Iger said attendance has risen 20 percent since a new water-and-light show's debut in June. Disney said attendance fell for the full year at Disney World, though it did not say by how much. Hotel occupancy slipped one percentage point to 83 percent at Disney World during the quarter and was flat at 84 percent at Disneyland. Still, company executives said they saw several promising trends during the quarter. Per capita guest spending in Disney's U.S. theme parks rose 6 percent and per-room hotel revenue gained 5 percent as the company continued pulling away from the heavy discounting employed during the global recession. Disney is still discounting more than normal in its theme parks. "But what we're seeing in the marketplace today is even those promotions are a slightly shorter duration than they had been, and slightly better pricing than they had been," Iger said. "And we hope that we continue to trend more in that direction." Also encouraging: Disney said hotel reservations in its fiscal first quarter are currently are running 5 percent ahead of last year's pace, and average room rates are up "mid-single digits." Hal Vogel, a stock analyst who studies the entertainment industry, cautioned that Disney's bookings are closely tethered to the overall economy and could dip if consumer confidence weakens. But he added: "I think it's OK, given what we've got right now in terms of the overall situation of most consumers." Abe Pizam, dean of the University of Central Florida's Rosen College of Hospitality Management, said the improvement in Disney's future bookings are further evidence that a recovery has taken hold in Orlando's tourism industry. Pizam noted that many other area hoteliers are reporting big gains in average occupancy, lifted in large part by the strength of Universal Orlando, where attendance skyrocketed 36 percent during the July-through-September quarter following the opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in its Islands of Adventure theme park. "Everybody says we're seeing a recovery," Pizam said. "It's no longer something we wish for or hope for. It's here. "Is it exactly what it was two or three years ago? No," he added. "But it's much better than it was, and it's increasing." Beyond its theme parks, Disney Co.'s best performing segment during the fourth quarter was its movie studio, which whipsawed from a $13 million operating loss a year ago to a $104 million operating profit. The studio's operating profit for the full year was $693 million, a nearly fourfold increase from a year earlier. Operating profit at Disney's media networks, which include ESPN, tumbled 18 percent from last year to $1.2 billion during the quarter but climbed 8 percent to $5.1 billion for the year. At Disney's consumer-products division, operating profit rose 22 percent for the quarter to $182 million and 11 percent for the year to $677 million. And in its interactive-media unit, Disney's newest and smallest segment, the operating loss shrank 9 percent to $104 million during the quarter and 21 percent to $234 million for the year. Disney's financial results were prematurely released before the 4 p.m. close of the stock market, triggering a quick drop in the company's share price. Disney said it is investigating the error.

10 Things – Season 2 Could-have-beens…

by
I've been meaning to post this article from EW about what would have happened in the second season of 10 Things I Hate About You had ABC Family not canned the show.
For fans of ABC Family’s canceled series 10 Things I Hate About You, the Monday blahs are worse than usual. Where once fans had snappy dialogue, romance, and Ethan Peck to look forward to on Monday evenings, now there is just the empty void left by cancellation. “I was telling someone it feels kind of like a breakup,” 10 Things creator Carter Covington tells EW.com. “Like you got dumped by this person and you’re like, ‘Wait a second. But we had such a great thing going on. Why would you dump me?’” Before you start writing angry letters to ABC Family, know that Covington doesn’t blame the network. “I know they loved the show,” he says, adding, “I think they were in a difficult, difficult position to try to figure out how to market and bring back one half-hour comedy by itself.” For those frustrated by the series finale’s many cliffhangers, Covington sends his apologies: “It’s really hard for me because there’s nothing I would wish more than to have been able to have a series finale that really provided some closure for everybody.” Even though that was impossible — production wrapped before the cancellation axe came down — Covington is satisfied with how things ended. “In the life of the series, to me, Kat and Patrick were always going to run off into the sunset together,” he says. “In a way, I’m happy that the series ended where it did because at least they were together.” But what about all the cliffhangers?! Unfortunately, we’ll never see them play out. Nor will Ethan Peck be piercing through the TV screen every Monday. “I think that might be what my contribution to history is — bringing Ethan Peck into the consciousness of America,” Convington laughs. But we’ve got the next best thing. Covington shared with EW.com what was in store for Kat, Bianca, Patrick, Joey, Cameron, and the rest of Padua High’s student body. Let’s break it down cliffhanger by cliffhanger: Cliffhanger #1: Walter walks in on Kat and Patrick together in bed. Naked. Surprisingly, the incident wasn’t going to drive a wedge between the couple. Says Covington: “I really wanted to keep Kat and Patrick together as a couple because I think that their struggle to become closer is much more interesting than them being apart. The plan for season two was to have Walter walking in on them up the stakes of that. He was going to demand to meet Patrick’s parents, which was going to introduce his mother and his stepfather and let us get a greater insight into Patrick’s home life, which we were going to keep stressful and not ideal. We introduced that concept in the first 10 and we were going to see why Patrick’s home life is a stressful place for him. “The idea was Patrick was going to have conflict with Kat. She is this driven girl who wants to go to college and sees herself being successful. And Patrick – we were really going to explore how he’s a guy who’s like, ‘College isn’t in my future. That’s not who I am. I’m not a student. I don’t know what I want to do, but I know I don’t want to go to college.’ Her mission was, ‘Of course you want to go to college. Everyone wants to go to college. And you’re smart.’ She was really going to be sort of pushing him and that was going to turn him off because that’s trying to change him. I think the end of season two was going to sort of end in a place of frustration between the two of them where she’s like, ‘I just want the best for you,’ and he’s like, ‘Who says you know what’s best?’ “We were going to develop a relationship between Walter and Patrick where Walter becomes a father-ish figure to Patrick. He’s never had sons and Patrick doesn’t really have a father. That was going to be a nice thing so that when Kat is on the outs with Patrick, she finds that her father still has this relationship with him. In seeing Patrick’s family and learning more about him, Walter really becomes sympathetic and sees that Patrick really is a good guy who’s had a tough road.” Cliffhanger #2: Where there’s a happy Kat and Patrick, there’s Blank? Yes, the British thorn in Kat’s side was going to stick around. Covington: “I was excited to explore who his family was. Blank serves as a counterpoint to Patrick because he is ambitious. He wants to go to college. He’s a thinker, not a doer like Patrick. We were going to evolve out that relationship and also show that through Blank and his mother, Kat has this connection to her mother and what she was like, which was going to be just a place for her to find out what her mom was like in a very similar time in her life.” Does that mean we’d see a love triangle? “I’m not sure,” Covington says. “I really liked the actor who played Blank. I liked the idea of Kat struggling with whether or not Patrick can fit into what her goals are in life. I like that idea. As much as everyone hates love triangles, sometimes you have to give that character a choice. Blank was going to be that choice, but we hadn’t really figured out how we were going to do it because I really didn’t want to get into a situation that felt like a predictable love triangle. Cliffhanger #3: Patrick asks Kat to… What?! Walter chose this opportune moment to walk in on the twosome, so viewers never got to hear what favor Patrick was going to ask for from Kat. So what was he going to say? Covington is hesitant to give an answer, choosing to leave it open to interpretation rather than disappointing people. Then he admits, “We really didn’t know. We were like, ‘We’ll figure that out when we get a season two.’” Fans, are you willing to accept that? No? Didn’t think so. “With the way the season ended now, I would say he says, ‘Don’t break my heart either,’ and she says, ‘OK,’” Covington reveals. “Because that’s how the series should have ended in long-term.” Cliffhanger #4: Bianca sees Joey kiss another girl on The Biggest Poser. After getting evicted from the Poser house, Joey was going to come back to Padua with a little bit of his spark lost. That would have set the stage for more of an earned Bianca/Cameron/Joey love triangle. While having trouble dealing with the new Joey, Bianca was going to turn to Cameron. “What we always talked about with Bianca was what happens when you’re genuinely in love with two people? That’s really what we wanted to build,” Covington says. Cliffhanger #5: Chastity transfers to a new school. She was really going to be gone! Dana Davis asked to be relieved from her contract to explore new opportunities. Bianca’s friend Dawn was going to made a series regular to fill the absence. Covington also reveals that they planned to keep Kat’s Buddhist lifestyle and bring in a friend for her since Jolene Purdy (Mandela) got a role on another series. PopWatchers, does that make you feel better about the series finale that wasn’t supposed to be a series finale? What do you think about the season two plans? Are you more bummed than ever that you won’t get to see Walter and Patrick bond?

Tiffany Thornton’s SWAC Audition Tape

Have look at this! I don't know how long this will last before Disney has it removed, but have a look at Tiffany Thornton's Disney audition tape!

If you're wondering, Sterling's character was originally written as a kinda weak nerdy guy that was involved with the super diva Tawni. But they changed their minds at some point and made Chad a male version of Tawni.

Kim Possible DVD Box Set Menu

Interesting item about Season two, it includes "Sitch in Time" as three episodes. The videos are standard television dimensions once A episode is selected from the menu, which is wide screen. There is A security feature on the DVD's so one can't play them from the computer as "The Villain Files", "The Secret Files" and the two movies could.

I would like to strongly urge all KP fans to purchase these sets as soon as possible. I don't like how they're forcing us to sign up for Disney Movie Club in order to order the sets but after all we've done to get these sets I'm gonna do it and I hope you do too.

Hannah Montana Series Finale

by

The end of Hannah Montana looms with the series finale date and time finally announced, Sunday November 7th at 7:30pm

It wasn't that long ago that we discussed the season three finale; the original planned ending for the show. The fourth season was designed to more thoroughly conclude the existing story lines and it did that, to a point. The fourth season finale in many ways seems like a rehash of the HM Movie's plot and only time will tell if this attempt will do the series justice.

The official Disney Press Release follows:

JAY LENO AND DR. PHIL GUEST STAR IN "HANNAH MONTANA FOREVER," SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7 ON DISNEY CHANNEL

Jay Leno and Dr. Phil McGraw guest star as themselves when international superstar Hannah Montana contemplates removing her blonde wig and telling the world she's really Miley Stewart, in a one hour episode of "Hannah Montana Forever" premiering SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 7 (7:30-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. It will be available first as part of an episode compilation DVD, "Hannah Montana: Who is Hannah Montana?," releasing NOVEMBER 2 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

In the episode titled "I'll Always Remember You," Miley is in the midst of the college admissions process and her boyfriend, Jesse, is growing tired of pretending to date Hannah. Increasingly challenged by her complicated double life, Miley gets ready to remove the blonde wig and reveal Hannah's true identity -- on "The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno" -- and even Dr. Phil has something to say about the matter.

"Hannah Montana" reaches over 266 million unduplicated viewers worldwide, in over 150 countries, in 30 different languages. Year to-date, "Hannah Montana" is the #1 TV series among Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14. Its fourth season is pacing at record levels in Total Viewers (5.4 million), Kids 6-11 (2.0 million) and Tweens 9-14 (2.0 million).

Starring are Miley Cyrus as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana, Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott, Jason Earles as Jackson Stewart, Billy Ray Cyrus as Robby Stewart and Moises Arias as Rico.

The series was created by Michael Poryes and Rich Correll and Barry O'Brien. The executive producers are Steven Peterman and Michael Poryes. "Hannah Montana" is a production of It's a Laugh Productions, Inc.
