Jasmine, Ariel, Belle...choosing the foxiest Disney babe is a never ending debate. Agreeing on the most attractive animated female lion, however, is easy: Nala, Simba’s irresistible and sassy childhood playmate and later romantic counterpart in the Lion King. And the inspiration for Hollywood’s hottest lion lives in Currier House. When she was eight years old, Disney cast Chelsey Forbess ’07 as the voice of young Nala. But after she had recorded her lines, movie’s producers decided that Forbess’ voice sounded too much like that...
...quite worked out how to regulate the creation of what are called chimeras, after the mythical creature that was part lion, part serpent, part goat. Canada last year passed a law that made it illegal to grow animal cells in a human embryo, or human cells in an animal embryo. Last spring the National Academy of Sciences was more lenient: it affirmed the potential research value of mixing human and animal cells, but drew the line at seeding any primates with human cells-at least for now-and urged that new experiments at least first be run past an expert...

Hundreds of animators lost their jobs in the wake of duds like Atlantis. Rival studios like DreamWorks, meanwhile, created hot characters such as Shrek, worth millions in licensing revenue.

The Passion of the Christ, for instance, was marketed to evangelical leaders and had an overarching message-an unflinching focus on Christ?s Atonement-that spoke to the center of evangelical belief. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the Christian symbolism was much more subtle, but the movie adapted a beloved work by one of Evangelicalism?s most revered interpreters, C. S. Lewis, and was authorized by his stepson...
...other films, it has benefited from a full-court-press marketing effort enlisting evangelical opinion-makers (the press kit includes a literal A-Z list of endorsers) outreach to churches, and a campaign to facilitate the buying of blocks of seats by believers. But whereas the Passion and the Lion spoke directly or indirectly to the New Testament story of Christ, End of the Spear speaks most explicitly to the evangelical movement?s own history and recent heroes...
