Disney/Pixar's Monsters Inc., Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire and ESPN’s 2-Minute Drill combine recognized brands with an entertaining experience for all users,” said Chip Novick, vice president of consumer marketing for Sprint PCS. “Now Sprint PCS customers can enjoy Disney entertainment and make their downtime interactive and fun.”
