It looks like Disney has cancelled the theatrical release of The Little Mermaid 3D. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...,6139988.story

I know they started the conversion, but I don't know if this also means that they're not going to let them finish it and release it on 3D Blu. I hope they release it anyway since it's my favorite Disney movie.

So disappointing--I wish they had done this one first--my favorite as well! I really hope they just finish and go direct to 3D BD. Though I saw a release announcement for the BD today and there was no mention of 3D. I couldn't care less about a theatrical re-release--I'd rather spend my money to own the 3D-BD anyway!

I saw on the bluray review for monsters inc 3d that there is a trailer for little mermaid 3d. I don't care about the theatrical release either, but I do like how disneymovierewards gives out free tickets for the re-releases. My movie theater lets me use them on any movie I want to see.

I'm a 24 year old heterosexual male and I'm really looking forward to the Little Mermaid bluray release. Is that weird? It was a big part of my childhood.

Hopefully the bluray is still 3D, but I'll buy it either way.

Kind of off topic, but when I was a little kid my mom met Jodi Benson (the voice of Ariel). She sent us an autographed headshot. We still have it. It's a pretty cool piece of Disney memorabilia.

Yep they canceled it as well as the rest of the starwars conversions since the boxoffice has been disappointing.

i think its because there not making money with theatrical releases because its a lot cheaper to format a blu-ray or DvD of a movie in then a theatrical release in 3D

Hopefully they will finish off the conversion and release it, since I think it'll bring them some good money as a 3D title.

Even if they don't do it as a theatrical release, it should still finish out as a disc release because this won't be a double-dip for anyone and people will spend the extra money on the 3D pack.

Honestly I can deal without the theatrical release of the older conversions of Disney animated movies but I still do want them in 3D, straight to 3D Blu Ray works for me. The Ms. loves them, I actually like that cardboard cut out effect in them too. I'd be all over a 3D conversion of the original Alice in Wonderland ... Who ... are ... yoO0o.?

We just watched Hotel Transylvania last night, I liked it, overall and for the 3D. It's great, now the Ms. is texting me asking if we have movies in 3D or if I can get them cheaper.

Just saw over on Bens Bargains that Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3D is $9 ($5+4$SH) on TigerDirect.

Life of Pi (Best Buy Exclusive) [Blu-ray 3D] - 3/12/13

Yikes, 35 beans for Pi. Is it worth that (I confess I haven't seen it)?

I generally like Ang Lee's work without CGI better than with.

It's worth it, and will probably be $5 to $10 cheaper by release day.

Question is, what's this exclusive going to be?

Can't be a steelbook with all the Viva foolishness that happened of recent, so I guess it'll be lenticular cover or exclusive disc?

Exclusive means it's the only retailer to carry it.

We all know what the word exclusive means. However, Best Buy isn't the only retailer that will carry the Life of Pi 3D Blu-ray. That means Best Buy's exclusive will likely take one of the forms aforementioned by Shrike.

Normally, it's been a steelbook/metalbook/ironpack, though they've done past exclusives like the lenticular cover (Frankenweenie), different slipcover (Captain America, Thor), or exclusive additional disc/item.

Guess we'll have to wait until the ad leaks or someone elsewhere posts what it is before release.

I noticed yesterday that Netflix now has 3d content. I haven't tried it yet and there wasn't any "big" movies but it's a nice addition.

It was there for me about 2 months ago and then disappeared. When I played one of them, it wasn't 3D. Maybe it's different now...

From what they're saying your ISP has to support it.
