- AzureRise, on 04/14/2008, -2/+36Not a Disney fan, so I don't really care. However, 2D isn't antiquated. 3D may be newer technology but it's not superior, it's a different style. 2D games are still fun and other forms of 2D entertainment like anime still rake in the viewers.
- BananaAmbush, on 04/14/2008, -2/+34How about some more traditionally animated films with good writing?
That's too radical and different, I know. - Wilsomatic, on 04/14/2008, -3/+23Yeah, it was called Pirates of The Caribbean. Went very well.
- unclesam5, on 04/14/2008, -1/+19Well, what about those of us with one eye and a pegleg, you ever think of THAT, Disney?
No, I didn't think so! - faizal5k, on 04/14/2008, -1/+12The Dark KNIGHT
- MasterGracey, on 04/14/2008, -1/+10Clearly many of you have not experienced Disney Digital 3D.
The 3D presentation isn't gimmicky -- it is used appropriately to add more depth to the film -- it is really quite amazing. It looks and feels completely natural, and I forgot that I was even wearing the 3D glasses. There are no side effects like nausea or headaches. And the 3D feature does not mean that there will be gimmicky parts where a character throws something at you, or something comes flying by your head. This isn't theme park 3D -- this 3D makes the movie-going experience complete -- it makes the film you're watching feel more real than ever and is a surprisingly enjoyable experience. - paradigm1220, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9Very carefully.
- MyExSucks, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9That part in Toy Story where Buzz shows all the toys he can fly would be sick in 3D when he's spinning around on that airplane model hanging off the ceiling.
- riskybeats, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8HTF did HTF get popular on digg so fast? WTF?
- Chupacabra82, on 04/14/2008, -1/+8don't buy the 20 dollar popcorn/soda...just a tip
- cbodall, on 04/14/2008, -4/+10What??? These comments are insane! Doesn't anyone miss the way Disney movies used to be........ animated. Everything from Disney movies to Chester Cheeto have moved to CG. And now to 3D? Why? Where's the nostalgia in that? Pixar was Disney's downfall. Doesn't anyone miss good animated Disney movies like The Lion King?
- baldycraig, on 04/14/2008, -1/+7It doesn't use the old technique that gives people headaches.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Digital_3-D - djphatjive, on 04/14/2008, -2/+7I went and saw The Robinsons in 3D and it was the coolest thing I have ever seen. I can't wait for Star Wars in 3D. Lucas is bringing them all out in 3D soon.
- bawpcwpn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+5Pixar is the downfall? It's Pixar's John Lasseter that is bringing back 2D animated features like The Princess & The Frog back to Disney. It's 3-D, like taking a live-action movie and making it in 3-D, stereoscopic 3-D, not animation 3D.
- Elranzer, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Right around when they realize their non-Pixar CGI movies are crap.
- Satanael, on 04/14/2008, -4/+9HTF have I not punched you already for your comment history?
- paradigm1220, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Zing!
- anagoge, on 04/14/2008, -1/+6Happy Tree Friends
- falcon707, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6Oops sorry. I'm tired and I have the word "night" on my mind.
- gmprunner, on 04/14/2008, -1/+5Would these still require the fashionable glasses?
- gmoney1, on 04/14/2008, -2/+6I want drawn movies back. 3d takes disney away from what made them famous. But I don't think 3d can save them. Only Pixar can.
- Sinai, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3I think you vastly underestimate how easily people get nauseous. A significant chunk of the population gets nauseous watching 2D simulation of movement.
- WikiEasy, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Screw Disney. Where's 3D porn?
- qwertydvorak, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3even better if they move it all to imax 3d.
- amoirae, on 04/14/2008, -0/+3Tentacle rape in 3D? EW.
- colincornaby, on 04/14/2008, -4/+6"Finally"? Because god knows that this was something I was missing from my movie experience...
- GregLoire, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2I also prefer the old hand-drawn style. But, like any other company, Disney is simply responding to the market forces. If more people preferred the old style to the new one (enough to actually buy tickets), then this shift would not exist.
- CrimsonBlur, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2What's with the negative comments about 3D? Sure in the past it's been lame, but the technology has come such a long way, it's not even worth mentioning the past problems with the format.
Think about how awesome Aladdin would have been in 3D: when you first meet the genie, the huge parade and the magic carpet ride? The swinging through the city? It would have been spectacular. Or how about The Lion King during the stampede? The image of Simba's father in the clouds forming from all around you? What would be the downside? It's not like the art suffers just because it's projected in 3D, it looks and feels even better.
I don't care what any of you naysayers think, when I saw Beowulf in IMAX 3D I was absolutely blown away, it exceeded my expectations and all of my doubts about the format were erased. I would bet anyone complaining about the 3D experience have not actually seen any of the recent 3D movies using the polarized glasses, because most of what's being said is nonsense.
Perhaps not all movies should be presented in 3D, but I can't think of a single reason Disney shouldn't move all of their animation over to 3D, it really is amazing. I wish I was a kid right now, growing up with 3D movies. - noseeme, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Wait, are they talking about 3D as in it creates the illusion that is actually has depth (aka the kind with special glasses), or are they talking about 3D like CGI (like the movies Pixar releases, e.g. "Toy Story")?
Yes, I read the article. I am just severely retarded. Have pity. - sfacets, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2CNN, late as usual.
- dudefaceguyman, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Meh sorta saddens me they're slowly moving away from hand drawn movies..Personally I think they have more of a charm then 95% of stiff generic CG crap today. At least they are still keeping a bunch of artists around and hopefully will release more then just ONE hand drawn film in the next few years..
- keozen, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Just out of interest, which division of Disney Marketing do you work for?
- zephyear, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2well 3D TVs are currently in prototype stage, and if movies start being sold in 3d, chances are the 3d hdtvs will hit the consumer market
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thum ... - shoc, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2***** off spammer
- LucasKane, on 04/14/2008, -0/+2Sounds like BS
- ANT1138, on 04/14/2008, -2/+4I hope they remake Fantasia in 3D.
- Sulzer, on 04/14/2008, -2/+43-D is cool every now and then (i.e. Monster House), but it's still too much of a gimmick for me to take it seriously (i.e. Spy Kids 3-D; not that I saw it... I swear). Not to mention they make you pay for the ***** glasses on top of the already outrageous ticket price. Filmmakers still rely too heavily on the 3-D cliche of "whoaaa, it felt like that [generic long pointy object] was gonna poke me in the eye!" Wait a second... 3-D porn... hmmm
- goldfishey, on 04/14/2008, -1/+3a) catch a bus/train
b) forget looking for a parking spot
c) pay $10 for movie ticket (unless your cinema has tight ass Tuesday?)
d) smuggle in your own lollies, in a bag.
e) toss said lollies at irritating girlfriend / douche at irregular intervals. (makes a ruined film much more enjoyable :) trust me!) - etx313, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Is this like Shrek 3D at universal studios? Cause that looked and worked pretty well.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1STFU
- Sinai, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Sounds like an overall bad move to me. It can't help but increase production costs compared to computer animated 2D, which is how most animation is made these days. And it's not that people don't want to see Disney films in 2D, it's mostly that the quality of the films themselves have degenerated from the Disney animation's rebirth in the 90s.
It's going to be a sorry day when the only 2D studios left are Korean, even the Japanese are outsourcing to them these days. - Slython, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Just check your local bar, I'm sure the drunk whores are more then happy to oblige.
- HappyScrappy, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Er, "Knick-Knack". Not "Nickname".
And I saw it in 3D at Siggraph '89 in Boston.
3D is a gimmick, and isn't really even 3D. By that I mean, by moving your head, you don't expose anything you didn't see before. - inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1I did years ago.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1Actually theres already one out in japan, you have to wear shades to watch it :-) Japanese broadcasting is going to put out the double frequency 3d stuff too... they get everything good first!
- Danimator, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1We see the real world in 3D and it is not a gimmick, its how we all see, naturally. Its only when done poorly and without human factors in consideration does it create eyestrain and headaches. Unfortunately this is not consistent in the implementation of stereoscopic imagery. New technology has made it cheaper and easier, not better. There are still huge flaws in current thinking.
- blake_mooney, on 04/15/2008, -0/+1I really wish they would bring back the amazing epic 2D Disney movies. Really getting sick of this CG ***** (except Pixar, they are the only ones that pull it off).
- habenneas, on 04/16/2008, -0/+1Fast text mirror: http://www.lynxcache.org/usr/1/Disney_s_Pixar_movi ...
- bxblox, on 04/14/2008, -1/+2Color movies never lost the effect they have...
- CPUGUy, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1This is the same 3d tech that was used to do the U2 3D movie and the 3D Hanna Montana movie.
I saw the end of the Hanna Montana as I waited for U2 3D (admittedly it was so cool that I like the Hanna Montana part as well). The U2 concert in 3D up on the big screen, in HD at that, was just freaking awesome. It was better than being at the actual concert, except there was no one at the theater to build up the same energy as you get going to the concert (though you did get some from the crowd that was at the concert).
This basically put you right there up front at the concert, gave so much depth to it all. Absolutely amazing.
At the end they advertised a full 3D Brandon Frasier movie that will be coming out, first full 3d live action feature-length move.
Definitely do not knock this technology before you try it. It is not for the in your face stuff that is meant to freak you out just about depth and actually putting you in the movie. Pretty awesome. -
