Re: Meet the Robinsons


I was very impressed by the Digital 3-D version; with each release the Real D movies seem to get better.

It was great fun to see "Working for Peanuts" on the big screen. It was beautifully restored and makes we want to see some other classic 3-D material in Real D. As more and more theaters add the equipment, maybe the studios will dust some of this stuff of for midnight screenings or limited re-issue. I'd think stuff like "Hondo", "House of Wax", "Dial M for Murder", "Creature from the Black Lagoon", even the 3-D Three Stooges shorts would be fodder for this idea.

Re: Meet the Robinsons


From my post in the "Track the Movies You Watch 2007" thread:

4/1: Meet the Robinsons (2007) out of

This movie does a lot of things very well. I love the quirky characters, the off-the-wall humor, and the sheer imagination of the artistry. The emotional arc of Lewis is familiar but carried out with enough sincerity that it still evokes an emotional response. Bowler Hat Guy's back story has an extremely predictable twist to it, but I still enjoy him as a comedic villain. I saw this in Disney Digital 3-D, and I am still very impressed with the overall effect. It really does feel more immersive, and I hope that the practice becomes more mainstream by the end of the decade.

Re: Meet the Robinsons


Everything I've heard indicated "Working For Peanuts" was the sole stereoscopic cartoon before "Meet the Robinsons", but if there is another one playing, I would be very interested in finding out the title.

One 3-D extra that apparently isn't making it to all Real-D presentations is the 3-D trailer for "U2-3D" coming in late 2007. It was refreshing to see live action footage shown in Real-D, vs the normal CGI fare. Being a U2 fan helps as well. The preview looks like it's well thought out from a stereoscopic standpoint, with wide shots being in hyper-stereo to always maintain a dynamic 3-D presence.

Steve brings up good points about the possibilities that could be done with the Real-D system, if it is done properly. Almost a month ago I saw "3-D Mania" (aka: Encounters in the 3rd Dimension) and Haunted Castle in the Real-D format. While the substandard presentation at the Carmike Cinemas left a sour taste in my mouth (see previous post), just the fact that iWerks 3-D features were available as a package made me consider the untapped potential of Digital 3-D projection. Warner Brothers and Universal could offer Halloween 3-D packages to theater chains, easily available to them via encrypted downloads. Imagine being able to see House of Wax or Creature from the Black Lagoon sourced from pristine prints in 1080p polarized digital 3-D. Now that would be some Halloween fun worth paying for.

Re: Meet the Robinsons


there are lots of 3d cartoon shorts, but I think Working for Peanuts is the only one from Disney.

Re: Meet the Robinsons


Disney also produced "Melody", part of the "Adventures in Music" cartoon series, in 3-D. They also shot a color 3-D short featuring the Mouseketeers for showings at Disneyland. Both were shown at the World 3-D Film Expo II last year.
