MUMBAI: Disney's Hollywood Studios, formerly known as
Disney-MGM Studios, officially premiered under its new
name.
"What
we want people to understand is the studio's name has
changed," said Walt Disney spokesperson Davis Herbst.
"There
was a time when Disney needed MGM for properties like
The Wizard of Oz and James Bond.But
Disney is at a point where all the big movies are
Disney or Pixar. The company feels 'We're a pretty
big studio, and the world revolves around Hannah
Montana,High School Musical and Pirates of
the Caribbean, We don't need the MGM crutch,"
said a senior analyst from The Motley Fool, Rick Munnariz.
Along
with the name change, new attractions will be added
to the park over the next year, including Toy Story
Mania! an interactive attraction based on the
Toy Story movie franchise; Disney High School
Musical 2: School's Out and Block Party Bash,
two street shows; and Playhouse Disney - Live on
Stage!
