Disney To Churn Out More 3D Re-Releases
As if there were any doubt this was going to happen after their 3D re-release of 'The Lion King' netted the studio over $80 million dollars worldwide and was #1 at the box office, Walt Disney Studios has officially announced that they plan to re-release a brand new batch of their classic films into theaters in 3D. The first of these films, 1991's 'Beauty and the Beast', will arrive back in theaters on January 13th, 2012. Disney already has a 3D-retrofitted version of the film completed, as it was originally meant to take 'The Lion Kings' spot as the premiere re-release (it was instead moved to a limited engagement in L.A. theaters while 'The Lion King' went national).
Following shortly after: Pixar's 'Finding Nemo' on September 14th, 'Monsters, Inc.' on January 21st, 2013, and finally - in a weird bit of possible counterprogramming - 'The Little Mermaid' on June 21st, 2013. There is a chance that Disney may move 'The Little Mermaid', as June 21st is also the date that their 3D-animated prequel 'Monsters University' is scheduled to premiere, and it's unlikely that Disney would open up their beloved classic in direct competition against another of their lucrative film franchises. Walt Disney Studios president Alan Bergman said in a statement today, "Great stories and great characters are timeless, and at Disney we're fortunate to have a treasure trove of both".

I'm glad. I don't care how unmanly this sounds... ''The little Mermaid'' is my FAVOURITE Disney film. The animation on the speechless Ariel is exquisite. RELEASE IT FROM THE DAMN VOLT DISNEY!!!!

Ok maybe Beauty and the Beast, but put out Pinocchio, Fantasia, Alice In Wonderland, or better yet Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I would kill to see The Great Mouse Detective in 3d but that ain't going to happen.

I enjoyed the 3D release of The Lion King. I would definitely see Beauty and the Best and Fantasia.

I'm not really too surprised to be honest...It used to be common with Disney to re-release their backlog of classics, theatrically. The 1937 classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was re-released in 1952, 1958, 1967, 1975, 1983, 1987, and 1993, for example.
This time around they're using the gimmicky 3D technology as an excuse to bring back the titles of yore....Well the goods from the last 20 plus years at least....I don't know how well films like Dumbo, Bambi and Pinocchio from the 40's would fair in 3D...Probably not too well...But what do I know. It'd be interesting to see at least.

I support the 2D classics back in theaters. The Pixar films, not so much.
