On the heels of the phenomenal success of The Lion King 3D — which has crossed the $80 million mark at the domestic box office in less than three weeks — Walt Disney has announced it will release four more of its classic animated films in 3D to theaters. The following titles from Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios will be released in 2012 and 2013 — Beauty and the Beast – January 13, 2012; Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo – September 14, 2012; Disney•Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. – January 18, 2013 (Monsters University, a prequel to the original film, arrives in theaters in Disney Digital 3D on June 21, 2013) and The Little Mermaid – September 13, 2013. “Great stories and great characters are timeless, and at Disney we’re fortunate to have a treasure trove of both,” said Walt Disney Studios President Alan Bergman. “We’re thrilled to give audiences of all ages the chance to experience these beloved tales in an exciting new way with 3D – and in the case of younger generations, for the first time on the big screen.”
