Disney is bringing The Lion King back to theaters on Sept. 16, 2011, this time in digital 3D. The Lion King is the latest classic library title to get the 3D treatment…
…Released in 1994, The Lion King was a defining moment for Disney, ushering in an animation renaissance. It continues to be the highest-grossing hand drawn animation film of all time, earning $783.8 million at the worldwide box office.

I think this sounds Awesome. I loved the Lion King as a kid and have fond memories of repeatedly singing the tunes and lines of the film for yrs after its release. I hope they bring more of their classics back in the 3rd dimension to re-introduce to a new generation. I’m hoping for Aladdin, what about you?
