It’s a day for 3D announcements it seems and this is a particularly special one for Pixar’s excellent FINDING NEMO. They’ve now proudly announced that the Academy Award®-winning film will be diving back into cinemas nationwide this Easter for the first time ever in stunningDisney Digital 3D™ on 29 March 2013.
The much loved underwater animation features the unforgettable Marlin, his forgetful friend Dory and the lovable young Nemo as they return to the big screen making a splash in spectacular 3D. Director Andrew Stanton says that the 3D version of the film is breathtaking—literally.
“Watching the first few scenes from ‘Finding Nemo’ in 3D was like I’d never seen a 3D movie before,” says Stanton. “It took my breath away. It felt like I was more underwater. It makes the scary moments scarier. It makes the beautiful moments more beautiful. It really drops you deeper into the story. It just amplifies everything.”
Here’s that official press release…in full!
Follow the momentous journey as never seen before in 3D as an overprotective clownfish named Marlin (voiced by ALBERT BROOKS) and his young son Nemo (ALEXANDER GOULD) become separated in the Great Barrier Reef when Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from his ocean home to a fish tank in a dentist’s office. Buoyed by the companionship of Dory (ELLEN DEGENERES), a friendly-but-forgetful blue tang fish, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic effort to rescue his son. Teeming with memorable comedic characters and heartfelt emotion, this awe-inspiring adventure was first released in cinemas in 2003 and won an Oscar® for ‘Best Animated Feature Film’.
“FINDING NEMO” also features the voices of WILLEM DAFOE as Gill, BRAD GARRETT as Bloat, ALLISON JANNEY as Peach, AUSTIN PENDLETON as Gurgle, STEPHEN ROOT as Bubbles, VICKI LEWIS as Deb/Flo, JOE RANFT as Jacques GEOFFREY RUSH as Nigel,ELIZABETH PERKINS as Coral, BOB PETERSON as Mr. Ray, BARRY HUMPHRIES as Bruce, ERIC BANA as Anchor, BRUCE SPENCE (as Chum), and director ANDREW STANTON as Crush.
