Pirates Preem: Dis Chan 3D?

Pirates Preem: Dis Chan 3D?

3D event, 3D Q&A

Along the world’s longest red carpet (well, black, actually) for the world premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” that took up all of Main Street at Disneyland Saturday night, we heard a couple interesting tidbits (story continues following video highlights below the first of three that features shots of all the stars of “Pirates” on the carpet and interviews with mermaids, pirates and the famous villainous monkey, as well as stars from American Idol and Dancing with the Stars… )

* Disney Channel may be the next TV franchise to go 3D. Disney-ABC Television Group president Anne Sweeney told us would be her best guess as to the next 3DTV target for the House of Mouse (see video below featuring interview with Sweeney and Walt Disney Co. President/CEO Robert Iger).

.

* Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter alluded to the next big thing after Cars Land opens in 2012 at California Adventure — an attraction at Disneyland, and likely tied to a major motion picture to debut in a couple years. Surely he must be talking about the long-delayed cinematic adaptation of “Jungle Cruise,” which was reported last month to have attached Tom Hanks and Tim Allen as stars. One wonders what they have in mind for a makeover of the venerable ride. (See interview with Tony as well as the heads of Disneyland and all Disney resorts discussing the upcoming opening of the revamped Star Tours with 3D and 54 variations, as well as legendary Disney archivist Dave Smith below).

The following 3-minute video features interviews with Disney parks executives and archivist Dave Smith…

  1. That was an extremely interesting write up and video interviews. I learned so much from it. Now I am anxious to see more Disney rides in 3D, along with the movies. Thanks for all your work on this report.

  2. More 3d content is always a welcome, especially from Disney with their excellent 3d presentations.
