Following in the footsteps of the 1940 Disney classic, FANTASIA 2000 features seven animated short films set to classical compositions, along with the original version of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” starring Mickey Mouse. (This 2000 version also includes hosts such as Steve Martin, Quincy Jones, and Bette Midler introducing each segment.) The film opens with abstract butterfly-like creatures of light and darkness fluttering about to Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony” but quickly moves to the second sequence, featuring an adventurous baby whale and its elders floating along to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the “Rhapsody In Blue” segment, a tribute to 1930s New York City, based on the line drawings of illustrator Al Hirschfeld. The fourth piece is Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of “The Steadfast Soldier” set to “Piano Concerto No.
Theodore Thomas, son of the late Walt Disney Studios animator Frank Thomas (1912-2004) and director of the acclaimed 1995 documentary FRANK AND OLLIE, helms this second foray into Disney history, WALT & EL GRUPO (2007). The subject this time lies somewhat outside the boundaries of Disney animation and rests on an unusual footnote: in 1941, Walt Disney personally led a “goodwill tour” and research expedition of South America, with a team of animators in tow whom he collectively christened “El Grupo.” The voyage transcended passing personal interest on the part of the animators; its residual effects can be seen in several Latin-themed Disney projects — notably, SALUDOS AMIGOS (1942) and THE THREE CABALLEROS (1945), both of which won Oscars, and other efforts designed to support the Good Neighbor Policy of the United States

TRUE BLOOD chronicles the backwoods Louisiana town of Bon Temps… where vampires have emerged from the coffin, and no longer need humans for their fix. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe(R)-winner for “True Blood”, Academy Award®-winner for “The Piano”) works as a waitress at the rural bar Merlotte’s. Though outwardly a typical young woman, she keeps a dangerous secret: she has the ability to hear the thoughts of others. Her situation is further complicated when the bar gets its first vampire patron – 173-year old Bill Compton (Steven Moyer, “Quills”) – and the two outsiders are immediately drawn to each other. Delivering the best of what audiences have come to expect from Creator and Executive Producer Alan Ball (writer of Oscar®-winning Best Picture “American Beauty”, creator of the Emmy® Award-winning HBO® series “Six Feet Under”), TRUE BLOOD is a dark and sexy tale that boldly delves into the heart – and the neck – of the Deep South.

What goes on behind the scenes of a nationwide late-night comedy sketch show? Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing, answers that question with a must-see show within a show filled with engaging characters, ear-grabbing dialogue and a Hollywood hive of insider buzz. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford portray the likable hotshots brought in to revive NBS-TV’s sagging flagship comedy series and Amanda Peet plays their savvy boss in episodes exploring the lives and loves of and the make-or-break creative pressures on the show’s staff. Panic. Chaos. Fear. Sleep deprivation. Just make sure it’s funny by Friday. Because that’s when a nation tunes in to Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
