-- For young adults, DCP will focus on fashion. Mickey was first depicted as a fashion icon in 2003 with the launch of the Mickey vintage t-shirt line that went on to grace the pages of global fashion magazines influencing taste makers and celebrities alike. A merchandise line quickly evolved across product categories and retail tiers. Similarly in 2010, DCP will launch "Mickey By," a program centering on possibly the most recognized Mickey image - an iconic pose taken from one of the original character model sheets. DCP is commissioning well-known artists to interpret the pose for art that will serve as the foundation for fashionable applications across many product categories. "Mickey By" will be global in scope and ambition, but with locally relevant execution. Consumers will also have a chance to personalize product using "Mickey By" images through our on-line shopping portal, DisneyStore.com.

Also this fall, families will fall in love all over again with "the one that started it all," SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS as the film is released from the Disney Vault in high-definition Blu-ray for the first time ever.

Then in 2010, the fairytale continues as Disney releases RAPUNZEL theatrically adding its second new Princess character to the Disney Princess franchise and complementing this new Princess story with a classic one as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is planned for re-release from the Disney Vault.
