Disney's The Haunted Mansion DVD Enchanted with InterActual Technology for the Mac; First Disney DVD to Provide Enhanced Bonus Content for Mac OS X.
NOVATO, Calif. -- The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) and InterActual(R), a subsidiary of Sonic Solutions(R) (Nasdaq:SNIC) and the leading provider of ROM and bonus feature technology for DVD, announced today that the recent Disney DVD release of the action-packed adventure The Haunted Mansion from Buena Vista Home Entertainment is the first Disney DVD title to enable enhanced computer features for the Mac using InterActual's cross-platform technology. The Haunted Mansion DVD, which lets viewers turn their digital photos into ghosts, take a virtual ride through the mysterious mansion, check out how zombies are made and more, also represents the first time that a Hollywood title has delivered such a rich user experience to users of Apple's extremely popular Mac OS X operating system.
"We are pleased to partner with InterActual and Apple to bring the exciting DVD ROM bonus features of The Haunted Mansion to the millions of dedicated Mac users," said Gordon Ho, senior vice-president of marketing for Buena Vista Home Entertainment. "With InterActual's proven technology, we have provided maximum product value for our consumers. The Haunted Mansion's hours of bonus materials, including the Ghostly Effects Studio, the Mansion Tour and more, go far beyond the limitations of standard DVDs."
InterActual-enhanced titles take advantage of the power of the personal computer to enhance the DVD viewing experience with custom computer features such as personalized image morphing, 3D worlds, games and other enhanced media. In addition, InterActual's Mac compatibility allows Disney to offer Mac OS X users a richer, more interactive DVD experience as well as exclusive online features when viewing The Haunted Mansion.
"With Mac OS X, Apple has led the way in offering consumers a leading platform to easily create, edit and view compelling multimedia," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "The additional bonus InterActual DVD ROM content in this release enables Mac OS X users to take their movie watching experience beyond the credits by interacting with the film."
