From The "Mouse House"

Dark Horizons has posted the 2006 slate for Walt Disney Pictures:

I can't wait for Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest. The first film in the series was a lot of fun and very well made. Based on the popular theme park ride of the same name, as long as the script for this sequel is good, everything else should fall into place nicely. Actor Tim Allen has a Disney double feature this year--a remake of The Shaggy Dog from 1959. The trailer for the new version looks decent enough. And then later in the year he's back for the third Santa Clause film. Cars brings screen legend Paul Newman back to the movies, while Glory Road and Goal! (delayed from last year), are this year's "feel good" sports films from the mouse house. Eight Below is based on a true story of survival in the Antarctic, and Annapolis is the backdrop for yet another inspirational tale. But the biggest question of the slate? Can actor/director Mel Gibson make as much of a splash with Apocalypto as he did with The Passion of the Christ ? And will it be as controversial?
