CLEVELAND -- Moviemakers want to put a pair of 3-D glasses on every theatergoer's nose in 2009.
The popularity from the recent surge of animated films -- which bring to life everything from cars to penguins to robots -- is taking the genre to an old but new level.
Movies in 3-D cost more to film, and not all theaters can screen them, but Dreamworks Animation has announced that all of its upcoming animated movies -- "Monsters vs. Aliens," "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Shrek 4" -- will be made in 3-D and traditional versions.
Other films are contributing to the oncoming flood of 3-D animation. "Coraline," a creepy alternate-universe fantasy from Neil Gaiman, will be the first stop-motion animated film produced in 3-D. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs," the third in the popular franchise, will offer a 3-D version this summer. So will "Up," the Disney-Pixar comedy about a man who ties thousands of balloons to his house and floats to South America.
Proving what's old can be made new, Disney recently announced it will release the mostly hand-drawn "Beauty and the Beast" in 3-D digital in 2010. Also on the horizon are 3-D versions of "Toy Story 2," "Toy Story 3" and "Rapunzel," according to press reports.
