Pixar is going back and making 15 year old movies 3D….
Evidently Pixar has always thought about how its movies would look in 3D and decided to go back and make it happen with the first two Toy Story movies. The timing is due to the fact that Toy Story 3 is right around the corner, but while fans wait to see it, they can go to the theater and relive the first two like never before. What’s interesting is that the original data took about 4 months to convert just to make it compatible with Pixar’s current technology, and after that was done, it took another 6 months to convert each movie to 3D.
