Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios made box office history in 2003 when the May release of Finding Nemo surpassed The Lion King to become the most successful animated feature of all time. With a domestic gross of more than $340 million, this fifth computer-animated feature under the Disney/Pixar partnership also became the top-grossing film of 2003. Finding Nemo won tremendous acclaim from moviegoers and critics alike with its appealing blend of comedy, heartfelt emotion and breathtaking underwater imagery.

Fall 2003 saw the release of Disney’s Brother Bear from Walt Disney Feature Animation. With six new songs by Academy Award®-winning singer/songwriter Phil Collins (Tarzan), an opening song by Tina Turner, engaging characters and beautiful artistic interpretations of the Pacific Northwest, this film explored the unique bond between brothers as well as man’s complex relationship with nature.

In April 2004, Walt Disney Pictures will present Home on the Range, a rollicking western-themed animated musical-comedy featuring some foot-stomping new songs from multiple Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater, sung by such top talent as Bonnie Raitt, k.d.lang and Tim McGraw.

The latest Disney/Pixar feature, The Incredibles, a hilarious and adventurous tale of superheroes and villains, arrives in November 2004.
