| Disney Debuts New Safer, Quieter and More Environmentally Friendly Fireworks Technology
After years of research and testing, Walt Disney Imagineering has perfected a new innovation in fireworks launch technology, marking the pyrotechnic industry's first major breakthrough in decades. The new technology uses compressed air to lift fireworks, virtually eliminating the need for smoke-producing black powder and other materials at launch, significantly reducing ground-level smoke and noise while continuing to provide a highly entertaining show. The air launch system debuted when the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, recently unveiled its new summer fireworks show, "Disney's Imagine -- a Fantasy in the Sky."

| Disney Sees Less Investment in Film
The Walt Disney Company plans to scale back spending on films, although it aims to remain a Hollywood staple, Chief Executive Michael Eisner and other executives said on Thursday. Chief Financial Officer Tom Staggs told the investors that a slate of 13 to 16 films per year for the Disney, Hollywood Pictures and Touchstone labels, produced good results since executives were forced to be selective in the movies they make and market. "We found there is no direct correlation between spending more and making more in terms of our returns," Chief Operating Officer Bob Iger said. Iger also said Disney did not see many more places to build major traditional theme parks around the world beside the one under construction in Hong Kong and a park in Shanghai that Disney is actively considering.

| Disney Aims at Video Renters With Moviebeam
In an effort to reach movie consumers directly, the Walt Disney Co plans to compete with video renters like Blockbuster Inc through a low-cost service called Moviebeam it is expanding this fall, company officials said. In interviews this week, Disney executives said Moviebeam is a first step in a broader technology push aimed at becoming more like a retailer in new, digital business arenas. By shedding its current position as a wholesaler that packages films on videos or DVDs, Disney would reap all the rental revenue instead of sharing it with retail outlets.
