All that winter music is about to strike up in Torino, the capital of Italy's northwestern region of Piedmont. Starting with an eclectic mix of classical and techno beats at the opening ceremony this Friday, the 2006 Winter Olympics will run through an 84-event...
Disney's lineup includes next December's eccentric time-travel tale Meet the Robinsons, with a critter comedy, American Dog, and a familiar fairy tale, Rapunzel, in years ahead.

Then there's Gnomeo & Juliet, a musical remake of Shakespeare's tragedy (it worked for West Side Story) featuring garden gnomes, with songs by executive producer Elton John. Disney is also developing a new Three Little Pigs, using Caldecott Award winner David Wiesner...
