What a Pampered Class Our
Kids Are Today!
They are brighter, more
visually oriented, and more computer-savvy -- resulting in bigger movies,
flashier animation, shinier products, pricier clothes, faster games, funnier
toys – and Humongous Profits! Kids’ movies are a multi billion dollar
business that drives profits up for the entire industry. More popcorn and
soft drink sales, movie tie-ins, product plugs, Soundtrack and DVD sales,
movie rentals and downloads, and stunning overseas profits! Warner Bros.
raked in $475.6 million worldwide during opening weekend of the new Harry
Potter flick, and Mattel’s Q2 profits jumped 56% on sales tied to
Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2 and related sales for Toy Story 3, plus hot sales for
Barbie.

mischief afoot here -- sneaking up behind you and playing mind games and

the Squirrels, a Bad Kitty and the funny Honey Bee, little birds chirp
as a Tinkly Fairy walks by.
