Disney re-releasing Beauty and the Beast, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Little Mermaid...in 3D
Did anybody expect anything different? We've been saying it here on this site for two weeks from the instant the 3D re-release of The Lion King pounced on the box office to the tune of $80M. What dollars they fail to miss will be swept up with the Blu-Ray release due...oh, that would be today. Realizing a cash cow when they see it, it would only be a matter of time before a whole slew of Mouse House flicks were repackaged for us. And now here we are. See what you've done, America?
Disney/Pixar are set to see four of their most beloved films back into 3D theaters through the end of 2013. The first is Beauty and the Beast, opening on January 13th 2012. Finding Nemo splashes down on September 14th. Monsters Inc. hits on January 21st 2013, and The Little Mermaid on September 13th 2013.
Don't be surprised if Dreamworks, Fox, and other animation houses follow suit. Y
