Hey as long as we are outsourcing Disney to the Middle East, can we send Miley Cyrus to Afghanistan?

Disney is in advanced negotiations with Lebanese helmer Chadi Zeneddine to finance and produce "The Last of the Storytellers."

The Mouse House's first feature in Arabic will mark the start of an expansion drive by Disney execs into the region.

Disney has big plans for the Middle East. The Arab world has a population of some 300 million people, and with two-thirds under age 30, the market is a natural for family-friendly Disney fare. Disney expects to announce two more Arabic-language features in time for the fifth edition of the Dubai Film Festival, which unspools in December.

Well, Dubai is already like a giant Disneyworld for the super rich and famous, but what about the rest of the Middle East? "The market is a natural for family-friendly Disney fare?" Which countries are we talking about here, exactly?

Oh, the ones with all the money that America no longer has. Mickey Goes to Iraq it is!
