Walden Media
Walden Media was created in 2001 by Michael Flaherty and Cary Granat. Granat was president of Miramax's Dimension Films division, and Flaherty came from the world of education. Flaherty was called an “entrepreneur in education” by the Boston Globe for his work with innovative programs meant to help underprivileged students gain access to quality education. Flaherty and Granat were housemates at Tufts University. The company is owned by Philip Anschutz who has said he expects their movies "to be entertaining, but also to be life affirming and to carry a moral message." The company's notable releases include “Holes” in 2003, “Because of Winn-Dixie” in 2004, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” in 2005, “How to Eat Fried Worms” and “Charlotte's Web” in 2006, and “Bridge to Terabithia” released by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media in 2007. All of these movies are adaptations of popular children's books. In 2006, Walden Media sponsored “The Break the World Reading Record with Charlotte’s Web.” At noon on Wednesday, December 13th, 547,826 readers in 2,451 locations, 50 states and 28 countries read an excerpt from Charlotte’s Web, breaking the world record of 155,528 students from 737 schools in the United Kingdom who read William Wordsworth’s poem, "Daffodils" in 2004. The company works with teachers, museums and national organizations to develop a comprehensive educational program that teaches a range of topics and appeals to different learning styles. Walden Media offers in-class teaching tools like educational guides and teacher kits and sponsors seminars and forums for teachers to discuss their craft and to trade ideas on using media in the classroom. Directors, writers, and stars of the productions participate in these events. The company is named after Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Its logo is a rock skipping across a pond. . . . .
