Portable Disney Channel

Smart phones with FLO TV technology and the FLO TV standalone unit will now have access to ABC and Disney Channel shows like Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Hannah Montana and JONAS.

Looks like Disney's not only recognizing the rise of casual multi-platform gaming and the spread of franchises, but they're also diving into to on demand market.

Soon their movies will be easily accessible on Keychest and their television shows will be available on portable devices and cell phones.

Disney's really making an effort to be on the forefront of media reach and technology.

Live Action Mulan Film in China

Hong Kong director, Jingle Ma has created a live action movie based on the folk tale of Hua Mulan

starring Wei Zhao.

This is not necessarily business, nor completely Disney related, but I don't care because this is pretty boss.

Of course, Disney made an animated version of the Chinese folklore in 1998, but this film will not have

Broadway style musical numbers, an Eddie Murphy voiced sidekick, or convenient solutions to all problems.

Instead, it will focus more on the more human (rather than godly hero) aspect of the character and her

emotional response in fighting.

As of now the film opens in China, Singapore and Malaysia on Friday, but distribution deals for the U.S.

and Europe are being negotiated.

/Not really related, but pretty exciting anyway.
