Author Topic: DVD helps theatres in some cases Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 09-28-2005 01:11 AM                        When Finding Nemo and the Shrek movies proved that there's more money to be made during the summer with computer-animated movies than during November, it didn't take too many pencil-pushers to convince the folks at Pixar that a summer schedule was the way to go. (How's that for a run-on sentence?)  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-28-2005 01:42 AM                        Sure. The fact that they were well-made movies with good stories and wide audience appeal didn't make any difference at all.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 09-28-2005 09:42 AM                    you know it is all press release mumbo jumbo. The movie title being moved was Cars, a car has a drivers seat and Pixar is in it. Plus, I am not sure if, at the time of the press release, Pixar was still in the negotiation stages for future release projects with Disney.  |  IP: Logged Joseph L. Kleiman Master Film Handler Posts: 380 From: Sacramento, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 09-28-2005 10:46 AM                     The change in release dates, which took place in December 2004, had nothing to do with the 3D conversion of Chicken Little. Disney did not approach REAL D, Dolby and ILM until just after ShoWest in March 2005 and the deal was finalized in April. ILM was chosen because they are able to do real time stereoscopic conversion of the animation as the film is actually being animated, using the same models the animators are using. This is a much different approach than taking pre-rendered animation and converting it into a new film. In fact, one of the ILM animators told me they have just completed rendering the last shot of the film in 3D.  |  IP: Logged
