Beauty & The Beast being re-released IN 3D on February 12

From ShoWest:

Quote
- Disney/Pixar has 17 theatrical 3-D movies coming out between 2009 and 2012.

- Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are going to be re-released in 3-D on October 2nd, 2009 for a limited 2 week run. He indicated it’d be a double feature, but I’m unsure if that means there’ll be one charge for both movies.

- They will premiere the Toy Story 3 trailer on this release and it’ll be the only place you can see the trailer in 3-D.

- Toy Story 3 will release on June 18th, 2010.

- TOY STORY 3… They showed a piece of artwork from Toy Story 3 that I hadn’t seen before. It was kind of a haunting image, actually. Woody has his back to us, overlooking Andy’s room. Woody’s head hangs low. Andy’s room is now a teenager’s. There’s a hill of dirty clothes in the middle of the room, a guitar in one corner, car posters on the wall, etc. No toys to be seen except for Woody himself. Like I said, a sad image.

- BEAUTY & THE BEAST… Disney is putting out the first 3-D hand drawn animation title from their collection in theaters next year. Beauty & The Beast will be released February 12, 2010 in 3-D.

- They showed the opening number, Belle, in 3-D. It didn’t seem quite finished, some digital artifacts evident on some of the background characters. However, I think it looked fabulous. It felt like an evolution of the multi-plane glass process Disney pioneered. It didn’t feel like the Viewmaster version of Beauty & The Beast. Belle had real dimension when she spun around. In short, it felt natural. I’d love to see them visit their other classics, like Sleeping Beauty or Pinocchio if they can turn out as beautiful as this seemed.

I have still yet to see ANY film in 3-D.

I might go see Avatar in IMAX if it turns out decent.

How the hell will that even work?

and I'm still not buying 3D films as the future of anything.  Its fine for My Bloody Valentine, but I'm not ready to accept it for any type of film that isn't a lark.

Coraline was pretty cool in 3D.  The technology is still pretty shit though.....kinda hazy and blurry in scenes with a lot of motion.  Everything always feels a little out of focus.
