Real reason why Pixar to make Toy Story in 3D Digg this.
Tironius posted this story Saturday, January 26, 2008

Pixar-Disney will rerelease Toy Storys 1 and 2 in 3D, escalating to Toy Story 3 coming out in October. Disney already has the tech to transfer already-made 2D movies into 3D experiences, but actually for these movies Pixar engineers will go to the original source material and re-render, according to indie filmmaker David C. Fein at 2 Live Fools.

But, he says, the real reason for the transfer is simple: those early movies weren’t originally rendered at high enough resolutions to satisfy your bitchin 1080p tastes.

So, in order to have nice 1080p HD releases of the previous Pixar-Disney films, it’s going to REQUIRE a re-render of the entire film in a higher resolution to accomodate a new release. Thankfully, a new 3D release will not only impress and satisfy audiences, but will also give the financial support to the motivation to upres these films for HD.
