There is a relatively new digital film process that takes your typical 2D movie and renders it in 3D. If you saw Chicken Little or Superman Returns in 3D then you’ve seen how effective it is. Disney has decided to re-release Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in this format for this Halloween season.
