Maybe the lenticular effect for this cover will close the door, completing the title.

I agree, it's a nice cover image for this Blu-Ray.

I was suggesting that in the general release thread. That would be awesome, but I don't think Disney ususally does "motion" lenticulars.

Still a great cover!

I can never judge pop in a theater (but let's just assume since this is Pixar, there was none) but the depth in this was phenomenal. This is the first Pixar movie I can honestly say I will never watch in 2D again.

That's good to hear. Yeah, the 3D preview in theaters looks much stronger for the 3D than most of Pixar's past efforts.

i saw it today i enjoyed but shocked that For the Birds got re-rendered For the 3D re-release.

TM2-Megatron · 12-23-2012, 04:17 AM

Just got back from this, and enjoyed it quite a bit. The movie itself was just as good as I remember, and the 3-D was generally respectable. Better than Pixar's other re-renders to 3-D. Moderate depth was evident throughout most of the film, with a few moments that truly shone. The chase scene that took place in the door storage warehouse was particularly outstanding; I was amazed at how the 3-D opened that scene up and how huge it made the warehouse feel. Not much in the way of pop-out, obviously, since this movie wasn't made with 3-D in mind and they would've had to actually re-animate certain scenes if they'd wanted to shoehorn a bunch of pop-outs in there. There was some very nice dimensionality on some close-up shots of characters, as well... Randall in particular, since the elongated structure of his body allows for that kind of thing to really be evident; and also in the Himalayas scenes for some reason... possibly the lighting.

The opening credits were also surprisingly well-done in 3-D; a marvelous study in layers.

Was nice to see For the Birds in 3-D, as well. That was a nice touch... almost made me feel like I was back in the theatre watching it for the first time, lol. I hope that makes it onto the 3DBD release.

I saw the movie in the theater this afternoon and the 3D was okay, not spectactular. I had to remind myself that it was only a 3D conversion of a 2D film. I always think of Disney having the most money to make a 3D film look good but I always feel underwhelmed when I come out of the theater after one of their 3D movies.,.even like-action like The Avengers, which I thought did the 3D better on Blu-ray than in the moviehouse.

Come on, let us be a little nicer about this. Some people may not have done as much research as we have, so they may not know the difference.

kenny3001 · 12-24-2012, 02:23 PM

im just so angry at the confusion that CG movies aren't re-rendered

Chill, it's Christmas. Unless you want to come back and say, "No, it's not, it's Christmas Eve."

Either way, I was not impressed by Monsters, Inc 3D.

p.s. -- You just convinced me not to go out and do any last-minute Christmas shopping this morning. I don't want to face any more short-tempered people out there.

which makes it even more shamefully obvious that Pixar SUCKs in 3D.

why re-rendered 3D is Superior to converted 3D

Plenty of information out there for those who are interested, but don't know where to look.

Converted 3D vs. Re-rendering of computer animated films‎ via Wikipedia:

Quote:

films rendered from a 3D software model, that were originally released in a flat version, can be re-rendered as a stereoscopic 3D version by adding a second virtual camera if the original data is still available. (This is not really 2D to 3D conversion.) Such re-rendered films have the same quality as films originally produced in stereoscopic 3D.

Happy Holidays!

I would have ordered this, but I already have the 2D Edition Steelbook. As it is, I ordered Finding Nemo 3D through Prime...hasn't shipped yet but I have it with Overnight shipping.

killermike2178 · 01-02-2013, 02:15 AM

Was the "Put That Thing Back Now or So Help Me" play during the end credits of the 3D re-release a special feature on any of the DVD/BD releases? If not, then I may actually have a reason to go get the 3D BD when it comes out, assuming they put it on there...

Update: nvm, I just found it on the BD with the outtakes, although they're very well hidden. Hopefully, we'll get them in the credits on the 3D BD coming out next month...

Shrek 1 & 2 were converted not re-rendered and they have more depth and look every bit as good as Finding Nemo and Up

It's nice to have Shrek 1 & 2 converted to 3D and I have enjoyed them, but IMO, they do not have the same 3D quality as Finding Nemo 3D, which IMO, has given me a native 3D quality experience.

Nemo is adequate at best, it could've best a LOT better.
