The Lion King in 3D
Disney has announced that “The Lion King”, one of its most popular animation movies of all time, will be re-released in 3D later this year for a limited special run.
The Lion King, originally released in 1994, is scheduled to hit cinemas worldwide from Sept. 16.
Re-launching its animation classics in 3D have proved highly successful for Disney until now, with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 working out particularly well. Those two re-releases earned Disney $65 million, and also generated momentum for the release of the third installment of the Toy Story series last year.

However, critics have pointed out that this will be the first time Disney has attempted to apply the format to a previously hand-drawn animation. Yet Disney has bullishly driven ahead with the plans to apply the technique to the world renowned hit The Lion King. The popularity and levels of publicity provided by the worldwide hit stage musical version of the animation will only go to increasing that confidence that this re-release will be a sure hit.
