The Disney Corporation, leading international entertainment and media organization, continues to expand its world-wide family fare. Disney has acquired Marvel characters that have joined Mickey Mouse and his gang, Jim Henson characters, and Pixar personalities.

Recently at the 61st annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmys, Disney won in a variety of television categories that has included outstanding children’s programming. Disney-Pixar’s Wall*E, which has received an Oscar this year for best animated feature, is now available in DVD, High Definition, and Blu-Ray.

Disney’s Up is out in DVD, High Definition, and Blu-Ray. Disney's Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp, has come out recently on big screens in 3D and IMAX. In anticipation of the June 2010, Disney Digital 3D release of Toy Story 3, Walt Disney Studios has released Digital 3D versions of Disney-Pixar's Toy Story and Toy Story 2. See online Disney updates for movie fare and family offerings.

The Disney Corp. also provides entertainment training and employment in a broad range of areas. UMHB Performance Studies and Film students have trained at Disney World in a breadth of entertainment categories as Disney College Interns. The Disney organization, a Fortune 500 Company, provides employment and ongoing training for those interested in working in its entertainment industries.

UMHB student interns and alumni from the Austin region, who are now Disney full-time and seasonal employees, are serving and bringing joy to those visiting the Disney Parks in Orlando, Florida. Disney staff present the Disney College program for Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida to regional students at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor during fall and spring semesters.
