Disney has been talking about converting Beauty and the Beast to 3D for years. Indeed they were showing footage at events last year and saying it'd be in cinemas in time for Valentine's Day. That never happened, but that doesn't mean they've given up on the idea, and although no new release date has been set for either the UK or US (next Valentine's Day would seem a good bet though), it appears the conversion is getting a strictly limited release in New Zealand in August (it's only playing a single cinema chain with 15 theatres), perhaps testing the waters. Whatever's going on, a trailer has popped up for it online, and while we don't get to see the 3D, it's nice to know the movie is returning to cinemas (although it'll hit Blu-ray first this autumn). BTW, those who's seen 3D footage say it's quite impressive, with Disney going back into the archives and the original drawings, so they can create a properly layered three-dimensional effect.
