Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment is proving their dedicated support for the 3-D Blu-ray format by bringing two of their most celebrated modern animated classics, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, to the new technology this year along with 13 other titles.
“As our contemporary library of 3D content continues to grow, and the original artists and filmmakers meticulously ‘dimensionalize’ their work for release on the Blu-ray 3-D format, we will be offering movie-lovers the most incredible in-home entertainment experience they will ever have,” noted Lori MacPherson, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment
Other films being released in the fancy format throughout 2011 include recent theatrical hits TRON: Legacy and Tangled, and catalogue titles Bolt, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and G-Force.
The 3-D releases include special 3-D menus, previews, and an introduction to the 3-D Blu-ray format by The Lion King characters Timon and Pumbaa.
Last year Disney released Alice in Wonderland, Disney’s A Christmas Carol, and Step Up 3 in the 3-D Blu-ray format. Find out more about Disney 3-D Blu-ray titles at disneybluray3d.com.
