Aladdin the movie came out in 1992. That is 18+ years ago. The toys and different items from that movie are still being made and sold today. Think about the movies that have had part 2 and part 3. Over and over again they show these toys to children and parents buy them.

A new way to make money from movies has moved to the big time. The video game. Now every movie for children is followed by a video game for the Nintendo DS or the Sony PSP or even the Wii. Never mind the 50 bucks it cost you to go to see the movie in the theater, what about the 60 bucks for the video game, 20 bucks for the DVD, untold amount for toys from the movie, the 10 happy meals to get the promo toys and school supplies?

So when you see a commercial for a new kid’s movie and you think it looks great , think about the money that movie is going to cost you in the end .
