In an interview with Telegraph animation pioneer John Lasseter explains why the studio bucked Hollywood’s obsession with computers to create its latest cartoon adventure, The Princess and The Frog.

“Doing our job right means making the story and the characters truly timeless, not dependent on topical humour. Look at the films of Walt Disney: Snow White came out in February 1938, and I can’t think of another film from that year that’s watched as much."

Disney 3D Blu-ray and 3D ESPN to Premeire This Year

Image via Wikipedia

According to the Hollywood Reporter Disney will release "Disney's A Christmas Carol" starring Jim Carrey, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Toy Story 3."
"Television sets with 3D capabilities are all the rage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, so it's no surprise that studios have waited until now to officially commit to the technology by announcing specific titles."
Disney and their CEO Robert Iger are at the Consumer Electronic Show touting 3D, accoording to the LA Times; "This added depth and heightened reality, Iger said, is the reason Disney's ESPN announced it would launch a 3-D network and will begin broadcasting games in 3-D starting in June with the FIFA World Cup soccer matches."
