Title History
The first Disney Digital 3D film was Chicken Little, released in late 2005. For the release, Disney collaborated with Real D to install RealD's 3D digital projection system featuring Christie CP2000 2K DLP projectors along with silver screens for 84 screens in US theaters.
The computer-animated Chicken Little was followed by a re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas on October 20, 2006. Nightmare, a 1993 stop motion movie, was originally shot in 2D on 35-mm-film, the 3D version was generated by Industrial Light and Magic from this source using computer technology. And with the "smaller breast" 3D version of Knick Knack making this the first and only Disney movie not made by Pixar to be preceeded with a Pixar short film.
In 2007, Disney re-released Working for Peanuts with the theatrical release of the 3D version of Meet the Robinsons.
The first live-action Disney Digital 3-D release was Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, released in 2008. In 2009, G-Force followed, marking the first scripted live-action 3D movie under the Disney Digital 3-D brand (as well as producer Jerry Bruckheimer's first 3D film).
On May 29, 2009, Disney released Pixar's Up, the first Pixar film to be presented in 3D. It was then followed by a 3D double feature re-release of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 on October 2, 2009, although neither of these films' animation was altered. As a result, subsequent Pixar films, such as Toy Story 3 and Cars 2, were released in Disney Digital 3D.
Two of Disney's traditionally-animated films were reissued with 3D conversions in 2011, The Lion King - released on August 26 internationally and on September 16 in North America - and Beauty and the Beast - limited to 13-day run in September at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles for North America, as well as short runs in New Zealand, Japan, Australia, India and Spain in 2010. These re-releases were being supervised by Don Hahn, who produced both films. Beauty and the Beast in 3D received a wider release in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words title and/or history:
“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
