For young cell-phoners

Disney is clearly anticipating younger and younger cell-phone customers - or maybe teenagers will find it very cool to have Mickey say "answer your phone" when someone calls. Instead of a "brrrring" or a tune, soon phone users will be able to download the voices of Disney characters as "ringtones," to the tune of $2.50, CNET reports. For example, Goofy will say, "Hello? Is anybody there?" and Mr. Incredible, "Hello? Yeah, I'm Mr. Incredible." Other voices will include Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pooh and Tigger, as well as Stitch, Woody, and Buzz Lightyear. And musical ringtones (from Finding Nemo and Aladdin) and phone screensavers are also in the works, according to CNET. The phenomenon is not unlike the "skins" and other customizing features kids love to use to customize the look of their IMs and instant-messaging services.
