		<description><![CDATA[The Walt Disney Co. (DIS), one of the largest entertainment companies in the world, plans the biggest ever expansion of its Fantasyland at Florida in 2010. The expansion is based on the popularity of the Disney Princess and Fairies franchises that have generated $4 billion in global retail sales. The planned expansion of the two franchises will be carried out in two phases, one to be completed in 2012 and the other in 2013. The expansion plan mainly involves inclusion of four Disney characters namely Cindrella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle from &#8216;Beauty and Beast&#8217; and Ariel from &#8220;The Little Mermaid&#8221;. Management believes that these characters would be ideal for a place where visitors usually engage in dancing, story telling, or organize a birthday party with costumed characters of favorite cartoons.

		<description><![CDATA[by Louise Harris, Investment U Research Team The entertainment world is changing, and companies in the business know that all too well… hence the reason why The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) just announced its acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Inc. (NYSE: MVL) Comic book fans might hate the move, but in order to survive in today’s climate, Disney has to look outside the box office to the whole entertainment package. Gone are the days when movies made all their money at the box office. And with DVD sales shrinking, Hollywood has no choice but to bring in more revenue by delving into toys, videogames, clothing, rides, digital copies of movies and Internet streaming. Naturally, Disney hopes to milk the merger for all its worth, exploiting Marvel’s 5,000 characters across the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The satellite television provider TiVo Inc. (TIVO) is a pioneer in digital video recording (DVR) technology. The company won a patent infringement lawsuit against EchoStar Communications Corp (SATS), the parent company of Dish Network Corp. (DISH). Under the 5-year multimedia patent infringement, TiVo has been awarded a sanction of $200 million ($110 million in damages and $90 million in sanctions in addition to attorney fees) from the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. Dish was spun off from EchoStar in 2008. It was found that a software in Dish Network’s set-top boxes violated TiVo live TV technology that consists of features like the ability to pause and rewind live programming. Earlier, TiVo had won its 5-year patent lawsuit against EchoStar, forcing it to choose between the payment ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday The Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) took a nosedive of almost 3% on the news that they were going to purchase Marvel for $4 billion. Analysts believed that Disney had overpaid for the company – one just downgraded by JPM. After all, when they picked up Pixar they paid only a 4% premium, while for Marvel they ponied up a 29% premium. Did Disney overpay for Marvel? Absolutely not. As Disney opened slightly positive this morning, the street may be coming to their senses. Rest assured, in a short period of time it will become apparent that Disney made another masterful move of picking up this classic character franchise. While new character creations hit the markets and TV screens every year, some are timeless and iconic – Marvel has ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (MVL) shares rallied after the news of its acquisition by Walt Disney Company (DIS) hit the market. The shares of Marvel jumped to close at $48.37 on August 31, 2009 &#8212; up nearly 25.2% from the previous day’s close. Walt Disney would acquire Marvel for cash and stock for approximately $4 billion. Marvel shareholders would receive in aggregate $30 per share in cash and approximately 0.745 Disney stock for each Marvel stock they own. This amounts to $50 per share, which is 29.4% higher to Marvel&#8217;s closing stock price of $38.65 on August 28, and is 36 times the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.38 per share in earnings for fiscal year 2009.
