Alex Creamer, a student at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, created this unique product packaging for spaghetti using a 3D model of the Chrysler Building in New York City that he stuck to the inside of a white rectangular box. The result of placing spaghetti inside this box is that the spaghetti mimics the shape of the Chrysler Building when opened. Kinda a nice surprise, no?
In short, the two films played back to back were just as wonderful as I remember them to be. It’s been a while since I’ve seen either film and to see them on the large screen in 3D was pretty fun. Of course, nothing was new to me, but the 3D effect was good enough throughout the film to keep me entertained. It’s a gimmick to put a film out in 3D, but for Toy Story, it seems to work.
If you get a chance to buy tickets to see it before its two-week run is over, make sure you stay during the intermission because you’ll be treated to some nice little Toy Story trivia and cut-scenes that have never before been seen elsewhere.
Oh, and keep your eyes peel for the very awesome Toy Story 3 teaser/trailer at the beginning during the previews. Here’s a fun video just to watch now. But seriously, go see the double feature in theaters. :)
Beginning next Friday, October 2, 2009, Disney/Pixar is re-releasing Toy Story and Toy Story 2 as a double feature in 3D! The special release will only be in theaters for 2 weeks so I made sure that I bought my tickets early. Can’t wait!
Come October 2, 2009, Disney and Pixar are re-releasing Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in Disney Digital 3D. I’m not sold on the whole gimmick of 3D films just yet (I don’t find them that much more enjoyable compared to the regular versions), but for Toy Story, which is one of my favorite films, I’ll probably go and pay to watch this again.
I wonder if they’ll add any new scenes just for the 3D version. That would be a nice surprise.
This video is computer-generated and it shows a clear representation of what you would have seen if you had watched the Russians drop the “Tsar Bomba” onto the earth in 1961. The Tsar Bomba is the largest and most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. [via]
I kinda forgot how I ended up here, but you should check out some of the 3D renderings from X3 Studios. They’re pretty spectacular and if you click each example on that page, there’s a video that shows how they created the scene and how they came up with some of the still images.
