Two Disney Clips From Tangled Ever After and Finding Nemo in 3-D

Walt Disney has released their classic Beauty and the Beast in 3-D, hoping to capitalize on the success of their Lion King in 3-D release. We here at ComicMix think it’s merely a cash grab since the up-conversion doesn’t really add anything new to the story or songs but for those dwindling few who still buy into the current 3-D fad. Still, it does allow Disney to give us Tangled Ever After, the followup short to 2010’s surprisingly charming film.

And look, here’s another trailer to Finding Nemo in 3-D because you can’t just have enough re-releasees in 3-D.

This one will be released on September 14.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Opening Midnight IMAX Shows Already Sold Out In NYC, LA

Well, that was really quick:

Thursday July 19 midnight shows for The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience have already sold out at New York’s AMC Loews Lincoln Square theater. The AMC Loews Universal City cineplex in Los Angeles has sold out all seats and all but two wheelchair slots, according to seating charts for advance sales via Fandango. No additional screenings have been scheduled yet.

I don’t think we’ve ever had movies sell out over six months in advance, have we? This film could be a MONSTER– and that’s saying a lot for the Batman franchise.
