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.

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.
