Following the lead of five other movie studios, Walt Disney Co. and News Corp. said
Wednesday they intend to launch a video-on-demand Internet-based service early next year.

Movies.com will be a joint venture between Disney and Australia-based News Corp., the
companies said, and will offer films from Walt Disney Studios, Twentieth Century Fox and
Miramax Films. Animated Disney films will not be part of the offerings at the outset.

The video-on-demand internet service is a good idea. The only thing I see that should be changed is that animation will not be a part of the service.

I think that it is very good that Disney has decided to follow the pack and join Movies.com. I know that my brother and sister will enjoy having the choice of getting Disney's movies off the web.
