Could we be about to witness a revolution
in fi lmmaking as profound as the intro-
duction of sound and color? Proponents of
stereoscopic 3D fi lms think so, and it looks
like they might be right.
In 2005 when Disney created a stereo
3D version of its fi rst CG feature Chicken
Little, the stereo 3D version played in only
84 theaters equipped with the new, digital
projector-based RealD systems, which use
disposable, polarized glasses. e following
year, stereo 3D versions of Sony's Monster
House and Disney's e Nightmare Before
Christmas landed in 200 RealD theaters. By
DreamWorks Animation SKG plans to author all its movies in stereo 3D,
starting with Monsters vs. Aliens, scheduled for release in March 2009.
