DreamWorks Animation may be leading the cheering section for theatrical 3D, but it currently has no plans to release any of its movies in the 3D format for home video -- not even its recent hit Monsters vs. Aliens
which earned more on a few hundred 3D screens in the U.S. than it did on thousands of 2D screens. As reported by Home Media magazine, the problem is that television sets here are currently unable to project state-of-the-art 3D images -- only old-fashioned 3D that requires wearing glasses with one lens colored green, the other magenta. The new theatrical system employs polarized lenses. "It's a completely different process," DreamWorks Animation chief Ann Daly told Home Media magazine. Nevertheless, she added, "We've been paying a lot of attention to the development of TVs that can deliver a theater-like 3-D experience ... and we think if we hold off until we actually get an in-home experience that works, it would be much better than doing it early." Monsters vs. Aliens is due to be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Sept. 29.
