Disney and Pixar have Ambitious Plans Through 2012 – 3-D Makes a Comeback
Disney/Pixar issued a press release discussing their planned animation releases through 2012 -a total of 10 motion pictures. Amazingly, following the release of “Bolt” all Disney animated movies will be released in Disney Digital 3-D(TM).
I do not believe they will be only screened in 3-D, but that the movies will, in some select theaters, screened in 3-D.
Below are synopses from Disney’s press release.
Of special note is the year that Cars 2 will be released, as it coincides will the completion of “Cars Land” at Disney’s California Adventure Park. Currently, Disney’s California Adventure is undergoing a billion dollar makeover.

– a cross-country journey through the real world.
