The Lion King 3D Paves Way for Four More Disney Films to Come Back to the Big Screen

Who says recycling isn’t worth the trouble? Certainly not The Walt Disney Studios, who just crossed over the $80 million threshold this week with the theatrical re-release of The Lion King.  Sure, it was re-imagined in 3D but in essence was the same ‘tale as old as time’.  And speaking of which, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo, The Little Mermaid and Monsters, Inc. are all coming to a theater near you within the next 24 months.  In 3D of course…and limited release. Here’s the schedule:
· Beauty and the Beast – January 13, 2012

· Finding Nemo – September 14, 2012

· Monsters, Inc. – January 18, 2013 (Monsters University, a prequel to the original film, arrives in theaters in Disney Digital 3D on June 21, 2013)

· The Little Mermaid – September 13, 2013
