First, Hahn revealed that Beauty And The Beast isn’t the only Disney classic about to go 3D. A certain cartoon starring a warthog and a meerkat will be returning to cinemas too. “I’m actually trying to work out a 3D conversion of The Lion King. I’ll be doing that when I go back to the States in a couple of weeks,” he said, explaining that we shouldn’t expect to see it for a while yet, since the Disney boffins are taking their time in making Simba, Zazu et al pop out of the screen. “It’s going to be spectacular — we will do a good job for ya! The technology is tremendous. We did A Nightmare Before Christmas a few years ago and Tim thought it was better than the original because it allows you to walk onto the set.”

Do we really have something to look forward to now as being TLK Fans, or would you say that this is just a rumor? ^^ This topic should make for a perfect discussion today. lol. :) So, what are your thoughts everyone? ^^

My thoughts are neutral on this subject KM. lol I really hope that TLK goes 3-D and I'll buy it like there's no tomorrow. I'll buy two matter of fact and have the other as a collectors item. lol If it does hit stores soon,it would be awesome to hear in the TLK community.

Actually, I think it's going to be a theatrical release if it does end up happening. ^^ Which will give those who never had the chance to see it in theaters, a second chance, or third chance if you count the iMax release way back when. ^^ Either way, as long as they don't ruin the integrity of the film itself, I'm all for it, even if it is a bit gimmicky, but if it brings TLK back in any way, that's all that matters to me. :)

[SarabisMate]

Then again you may be right lol. I don't have an iMax near me so I'm out on that. But heck yeah,I never saw TLK in theaters,if I did I was way to young to remember it. lol I'm with ya every step of the way. My dad may think of me as a bit retarded for going to see the movie that I already own but I don't care. ^^ But in 3-D and at the big screen,that would be a big wish come true for me. Maybe not a sell out as everyone seems to not know about the movie.

Sweet, I never got to see it in the cinema
I'll definitely go to see this, and it looks legit too ^^

Yeah, I'm waiting for complete, official confirmation on any rumours before I end up getting all excited.

But it looks fascinating, and I'm hoping, praying, and crossing my fingers that this is true!

If it's not confirmed, then it is a rumour. I clicked this topic thinking it was official.. KM, you're such a tease :].
Furthermore, I think 3D is a wasted oppertunity entirely anyway. I want out of the screen 3D lol, but it only adds depth to the image and strains my eyes.

When will that production come out in cinemas? I read about a 3D tlk production earlier on another TLK forum, and there was said that it was a hoax.. which I don't hope it is.
