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.
