BURBANK, Calif., March 23, 2006 – In support of the March 21st DVD release of Chicken Little, Disney’s #1 animated movie of 2005, and the recent blockbuster DVD release of Disney’s Lady And The Tramp 50th Anniversary Edition, Walt Disney Home Entertainment has equipped both DVD titles with Disney’s FastPlay. Due to broad consumer demand, Disney’s FastPlay has rapidly become an essential feature for the majority of Disney DVDs.
