‘Nemo,’ ‘Little Mermaid’ Swim Back To Big Screen In 3D

Hot on the heels of the box office success of “The Lion King 3D,” Disney and Pixar are reviving four of their classic animated films in 3D versions. Banking on the success of “The Lion King 3D,” which is set to cross the $80 million U.S. box office threshold, the studio said it would release a 3D version of the 1991 fairytale “Beauty and the Beast” in January 2012 for a limited run in movie theaters. It will be followed by Pixar’s sea-adventure “Finding Nemo” in September 2012, “Monsters, Inc.” in January 2013, and the classic 1989 Disney romance “The Little Mermaid” in September 2013.
