Disney Brings Back '9 to 5' for Dolly Parton Day
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating Dolly Parton Day by bringing back the 1980 comedy film '9 to 5' to theaters next month. The movie will run for one week, starting October 9, and Disney is donating all of its proceeds from that theatrical run to The Dollywood Foundation in support of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.
The film's theme song also became one of Dolly's biggest pop hits. Disney now owns the rights to the movie through its purchase of 20th Century Fox.
To celebrate Dolly's life and legacy, today is the inaugural 'Give Like Dolly Day,' urging people to 'Dream More, Learn More, Care More, and Be More' in support of the communities around them, especially children in need. Disney is encouraging fans to participate by visiting The Dollywood Foundation website and contributing.
