Disney reports Growth in First Quarter, Phineas and Ferb and the Man in the Hat

Disney has reported that despite difficulties in the economy there is strong growth in their television and theme park profits. Revenue for the quarter increased 9% to 10.5 billion which exceeded their published expectations of around 10 billion. The news was not all rosy however, as net income was down from the same quarter a year before by 16 cents a share.

Phineas and Ferb, a cartoon about a two step-brothers, their sister Candice and the family platypus named Perry. The show was the mostwatched show for tweens last Friday and was Disney's second biggest premier for an animated series. The P&F crew will now have their own clothing line now selling at the Disney Stores.

Finally, for those of you anxiously awaiting the release of the new Indiana Jones movie, pictures have leaked on the internet of the movie's title McGuffin: The Crystal Skull (for more on McGuffin's see: Alfred Hitchcock). Blue Sky Disney has a picture and links to others.
