Devoted Fans
Our loyal fans keep tuning in to Disney Channel and they helped us make history in 2007. Disney Channel was the first kid
s cable network ever to be #1 in prime and High School Musical 2 premiered as the most-watched cable telecast ever.
Kids and families count on Disney Channel to bring them The Next Big Thing! Tap into TV's most engaged audiences Disney Media Sales & Marketing has The Next Big Thing! Contact: Michelle Scarola Source: Nielsen (StarTrak), 1/1/07-12/30/07, MSu 7P-12A; 8/17/07 - Live+7, Ranked on Basic Cable Cynopsis: Kids! 04/04/08 Good morning. It's Friday, April 4, 2008, and this is your first early morning briefing. UPFRONT 2008-2009 SEASON – CARTOON NETWORK With the lights down, fog pouring in and a little John Williams fanfare, it was all about The Force at Cartoon Network's annual upfront presentation in NYC yesterday, where George Lucas, escorted by four Clone Troopers and his theme music, was in attendance to show off a clip and talk about his new CGI animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which will bow on the network this fall 2008, following Warner Bros.' North American theatrical release Friday, August 15. You may recall that Star Wars: The Clone Wars will also air on TNT, after bowing on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network also announced it has picked up a second season of the animated series Chowder (for a total of 40x30), and is developing a follow-up to its live-action movie Ben 10: Race Against Time. Additionally, Cartoon Network unveiled its "two-pronged, 360-degree" programming plan for 2008-9, which will feature two nights of the network's programming (Fridays and Thursdays), a Sunday night movie plan, its new short-form development initiative and the network's ongoing pro-social efforts:
NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT Lionsgate has begun production on the family-aimed CGI animated film Alpha and Omega, the first picture under its multi-picture deal with India's Crest Animation Productions. Scheduled for release in 2010, Lionsgate and Crest are co-financing and co-producing the movie. Pre and post-production on the movie is taking place in LA, with key animation being produced at Crest Animation Studios in India. Alpha and Omega revolves around two young and very different wolves that are taken from their home and together will do anything to get back to their pack. The cast stars the voices of Justin Long and Hayden Panetierre in the lead roles, as well as Christina Ricci, Danny Glover, Dennis Hopper and Larry Miller. Anthony Bell (The Boondocks, Rugrats) and Ben Gluck (Brother Bear 2) are directing the movie from a screenplay by Chris Denk, which in turn is based on an original story by Steve Moore (co-creator Open Season). Lionsgate will distribute the film in North America and the UK, with Mandate International handling international sales for the rest of the world, excluding India. MORE KIDS STUFF Univision Network is set to launch Planeta U (Planet U), a kid-targeted Saturday morning programming block (8-11a) this Saturday, April 5, 2008. The educational/informational focused block will feature programming for different kid demos: For preschoolers Dora the Explorer, Go Diego, Go!, and Pinky Dinky Doo; for K4-8 – Jakers!; For Kids/Tweens 8-12 - Inspector Gadget's Field Trip; and for Teens 13-16 – is Beakman's World. Planet U will also feature segments promoting literacy, problem-solving skills, respect/self-esteems and pride in the Hispanic identity. Additionally, Hispanic celebrities will provide messaging on the environment among other topics. After several months of negotiations, Jetix Europe N.V. inks a multi-year carriage renewal deal with CANALSAT (France). Chorion's The Mr. Men Show (52x11) will premiere in France on France 5 on April 12. The series, which recently launched on Cartoon Network US and Five UK, has also been acquired by ABC (Australia), HOP! (Israel) and Tiji (France). Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) will debut Japanese anime channel, Animax, in Spain from April 12. It will initially be available to more than 500,000 subscribers through Telefonica Espana's IPTV operator Imagenio. SPTI is in advanced talks with other pay-tv operators regarding additional carriage. MARKETING/LICENSING Xilam has completed new licensing deals for its animated series Oggy and the Cockroaches (200x7, or 65x30): Jemini (plush toys) will produce 12 different plush products based on the series characters', which will be available at retail in France in June 2008; Benjamin SA (socks) – products to be available in June. Xilam is also in the works on an Oggy DVD Christmas special, to be produced by France Television Distribution, as well as a video game for K7-14 for several platforms. Season 3 of Oggy and the Cockroaches will debut on French pay TV broadcaster Canal +, in fall 2008, and has already been picked up by broadcasters including Mediaset (Italy), VRT (Belgium), MTV Oy (Finland) and Noga (Israel).

The series is scheduled to premiere on ABC on Sunday, July 20 (8-9p) and will air Sundays and Mondays (8-9p) for three weeks, continuing then on Mondays (8p) through the middle of September.
