Studios in the US are familiar with the quality of Aamir's work since his film "Lagaan" was nominated for the Academy awards.  

"Two factors led them to buy the home video rights. One was the fact that the film has done extremely well in the United States and the other is that the film shows concern for children and their upbringing. Disney wanted to be associated with the film since it caters to children's issue," Aamir said.  

He said he was happy and proud to be associated with Walt Disney.  

"They are the best when it comes to kids. The film has done well in the US and I hope the same happens with the DVDs as well," Aamir said. The actor will release the DVD format of the film tomorrow.  

"Taare Zameen Par" is a story about a dyslexic child and how a teacher helps him to come out of it.
