Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D

[Muse]

I almost never go out a watch a movie in a theater, have a home theater using a 720p projector onto a screen, over 400 DVDs (no HD, except for 720p off my HDTV card), plus my library has lots of DVDs . I also have both Toy Story DVDs. But I haven't seen a 3D movie since I was a kid. I remember it was a thrill. Don't know that I'd like Toy Story in 3D. I figure that Pixar never intended it to be in 3D, for one thing.

Well, looking at the listing in my newspaper, it says Final Week, and indicates that some theaters are showing it in Disney Digital 3D and others in Real D 3D. What's the difference? Which one is better? I have a gift card to a chain whose local theater is showing it in Real D 3D.

Disney Digital 3D means the movie is show with all digital projection
Real D 3D is a production method

not sure if that means a Real D 3D movie could possibly be projected with non-digital means or something

P.S. Up! is a good movie in 3D

I may be misinterpreting the ad for the movie. Maybe it's being presented everywhere in Disney Digital 3D but just some theaters in Real D 3D. Seems that way. There's an asterisk next to Real D 3D and most of the locations are asterisked, but some are not. It's confusing, at least to me.

Most, if not all, 3-D movies nowadays use a different type of 3D technology which doesn't require the old red/blue glasses.

You wear pretty much "sunglass" looking glasses to get the 3D effect.

I wore the polarized glasses overtop my real glasses with no problem when I went to see Toy Story. However, the 3-D effect is pretty much wasted on Toy Story since it wasn't meant to be in 3D. We didn't stay for Toy Story 2 so I can't comment on that one.

And yes, the polarized glasses give a much better 3D effect than those crappy red/blue glasses. However, this only works in theaters since regular televisions are not capable of producing the necessary polarized light.

Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs in 3D sucked. The movie was okay but the 3D sucked. Beneath the Sea in Imax and 3D was an excellent movie. It seemed the fish swam off the screen right in the crowd.

I find Disney 3D to be better as it also seems to come off the screen so you could reach out and touch it.

I have to disagree with tyler, I have seen many, many movies in 3d just in the last few years and I think Cloudy with a chance of meatballs is close to the top of the list in terms of great 3d.

it was not intended for real 3d. but to update toystory they are rerendering it at a higher resolution which allows them to convert it into real 3d.

Yeah, that's the one that got me thinking about it, but unfortunatly I missed it. I'm hoping that they will release a version on DVD that will be watchable in 3D, presumably with supplied glasses. A guy can hope. Or, I guess I can catch it in a theater in a limited engagement.

I guess I'll save my gift card for something more compelling than the reworked Toy Story movies.

Any DVD version of Up! in 3D would have to be the crappy red/blue variety of 3D, which is not worth it IMHO.

not possible. and i hope not. any dvd 3d tech is based on color code nonsense and gives a hideous experience. you need bluray 120hz polarized or shutter tech.

I think that's what I saw as a kid. Pretty dynamite, usually horror movies, monsters jumping out of the screen right at you, yow!

The red/blue glasses worked great for the old black & white horror movies, but there is better tech now. True 3d for CG film is actually done at render time. There are camera settings in Max and Renderman for 3d where the film is actually rendered from two viewpoints just like your eyes would see it. Current CG movies can take 6 months to render out to print for the 2d version and since 3d isn't that high demand most films are not rendered for two perspectives because of the render time, 6 months becomes a year. That is 1 year that computers work 24/7 to turn out the frames after the artist are done. The effect is awesome though when completed. In the theater the frames are shown at 144Hz , 72Hz for each eye but still 24 frames per second, that part can get confusing. The left eye can only view the correct time coded frame because of the glasses polarization. So you are really watching left/right frames being displayed full screen very fast.

You can do the red/blue 3d effect with games and the nvidia cards in the driver settings if you want to play around with it at home.

I really liked Coraline in 3D. The tunnel between the two worlds was the best part.
