Old-school … The Princess and the Frog The winner Disney’s animation chief John Lasseter may be more readily associated with the Pixar brand, but he’s a sentimentalist and a student of animation history, which is why several years ago he put his weight behind The Princess and the Frog . It paid off, as Disney’s first hit hand-drawn 2D animated musical in some time soared to the top of the charts with $25m (£15.3m) in its first wide weekend, according to studio estimates. The film was already a winner in its first two weekends, frankly, when it was playing in two cinemas and averaging around $380,000 per site – a phenomenal amount

Lady Gaga claims UK chart-topper
By Duncan Gardham , Security Correspondent Published: 7:05AM GMT 14 Dec 2009 The former Prime Minister engaged in an “alarming subterfuge” with George Bush, and then misled the British people into a war they did not want, Sir Ken said. In an article for The Times he argues that the Chilcot Inquiry should be held in “deserved and withering contempt” if it ends in a “whitewash” by failing to disclose details of a “foreign policy disgrace of epic proportions”. He also called Mr Blair’s belief that he did what he thought was right a “narcissist’s defence”, adding: “Washington turned his head and he couldn’t resist the stage or the glamour that it gave him.” Sir Ken, who was appointed in 2003 under the Blair government, added that the war was the result of a “Prime Minister lost in self-aggrandisement and a governing class too closed to speak truth to power.” His comments come as a senior minister has accepted that Tony Blair could have lost the crucial House of Commons vote on the Iraq war if he had told MPs he wanted to depose Saddam Hussein regardless of whether he had weapons of mass destruction.

By Alastair Jamieson Published: 7:30AM GMT 14 Dec 2009 Yvette Cooper, the work and pensions secretary, will announce the change in a white paper amid criticism that the existing welfare system makes it pointless for many poorer claimants to go out to work. At present, lone parents on income support see their benefit reduced on any earnings over £20 a week, creating a poverty trap as those in work have little incentive to move up the income ladder because they may be little better off. Under the new plan, half of any earnings over £20 – up to a maximum of £92.80, or the equivalent of 16 hours at the minimum wage of £5.80 – could be taken without impact on their Income Support

By Robert Winnett, Deputy Political Editor, Kandahar Published: 7:30AM GMT 14 Dec 2009 The Government will announce on Tuesday that more than £150 million of new funding will be allocated to tackle the increasing threat which follows the death of 100 British troops in Afghanistan this year. After talks with military commanders, Gordon Brown disclosed that British forces have diffused 1600 improvised explosive devises (IEDs) – an average of one every two hours – in the past few months. The Taliban’s increased use of the devices will heighten growing fears that the British death toll in Afghanistan could rise sharply in the coming months as the first of Britain’s additional 500 troops arrive in the country

There’s a bracing anger and sadness to Max that makes you immediately root for him, aided by the photogenic Records’s natural, uncutesy performance. After rowing with his mother (biting her for good measure) he runs away in his wolf costume, emerging through some woods by a small lake where a rowing boat takes him to a distant shore and the land of the wild things.
