Disney enjoys princely box-office receipts for Princess and the Frog

Monday, December 14th, 2009

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

Tony Blair’s ’sycophancy’ led us into war with Iraq, says former DPP

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

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.

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

‘The sad fact is that most of the films we are celebrating tonight won’t be seen in large areas of Europe,’ Loach commented after receiving the award. Photograph: Henning Kaiser/AFP/Getty Images Grit, not glamour, proved the order of the day at the 22nd annual European film awards, which took place inside a former power station in Germany’s industrial heartland, and handed a lifetime achievement award to the director Ken Loach . The leading light of social-realist British cinema seemed to relish his trip to the Ruhr region, a landscape dominated by smokestacks and coal-mines.

MPs’ Expenses: senior official involved in expenses ‘unlikely’ to play role in future

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

By Caroline Gammell Published: 7:30AM GMT 14 Dec 2009 Andrew Walker, head of the Commons’ Fees Office which scrutinised the claims, was widely criticised in the aftermath of The Daily Telegraph investigation. In several cases, Fees Office staff were found to have waved through and even encouraged questionable claims from members. John Bercow, who took over as Speaker in June, said that he did not expect Mr Walker – who some feel has been made a scapegoat – to feature in the new expenses vetting process
