'Nemo,' 'Mermaid,' 'Beast' and 'Monsters' go 3-D
'Nemo,' 'Mermaid,' 'Beast' and 'Monsters' go 3-D
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Finding Nemo," ''The Little Mermaid" and two other animated Walt Disney tales are following "The Lion King" into 3-D mode on the big-screen.
Disney announced Tuesday that the 3-D reissues will begin Jan. 13 with 1991's "Beauty and the Beast," the first animated feature ever nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.
The studio will follow with 3-D re-releases of 2003's "Finding Nemo" on Sept. 14 of next year, 2001's "Monsters, Inc." on Jan. 18, 2013, and 1989's "The Little Mermaid" on Sept. 13, 2013. "Monsters University," a 3-D prequel to "Monsters Inc.," comes out June 21, 2013.
Disney's 1994 hit "The Lion King" far exceeded the studio's expectations in a 3-D theatrical reissue, pulling in $80 million domestically since debuting Sept. 16.
So where's the Aladdin love?

Didn't Beast just come out on BluRay 3D?
I think Disney might be shooting themselves in the foot on that one. They didn't fare too well when they released Beast on DVD, I rmeember working in TDS at the time and we sent back BOXES that they never sold. If I recall a lot of people had just bought it on VHS and were unwilling to pay for another format.
Something tells me this is going to happen again. If people get it on bluray before it hits the theaters again, they won't go.
Nemo/Monsters are another story, but Monsters is already available in bluray as well.
Nemo should look great in HD. I've got a high def TV rip on my home theater that looks great, can't wait until I can get it without all the compression that happens during the distribution (cable/satellite all compress the video something awful)

Funny, all the Twitter feedback after I posted this has been negative, quality being the main issue.

Theatrical versions, or bluray... Lion King looks awesome, but it looked good on DVD to me.
I wasn't a real advocate for Bluray during the HD wars, but if bluray is the winning format, I guess I'll need to deal with it. There's no denying the quality it's capable of is pretty darn good.

I am not a fan of 3D. I don't get it to be honest. I think disney would be better off putting money into new movies .

I was one of the Tweets that was negative.
I have NEVER walked out a movie before, Disney or otherwise, but we left Lion King after less than 20 minutes.
The 3D conversion was HORRIBLE! All of the items that were in the foreground were translucent, you could see the background through the 3D image. It was also blurry for some reason.
I talked to the manager at the theater and he said they had gotten complaints already, and that there was nothing wrong with their equipment.
We are excited to pick up the Blue Ray version, but we are pretty much done with 3D, unless it was filmed or produced as 3D from the get go...

I would argue they would be much better off going forward with the 3D re-releases. The Lion King 3D has made the company $80 million, and that's just theatrical sales - doesn't include the Bluray release or merchandise sales resurgences. They can't spend more than hundreds of thousands of dollars for the 3D remastering. Money right in the pocket.
And I know my butt will be in the seat for the next 3D re-release!

3-D doesn't really do much for me except for the attractions that are 3-D at the parks. Other than that I'm perfectly content watching my Disney movies on my 50inch T.V.
