After a lukewarm reception to its latest 3D movie, Disney has revealed specs of the upcoming Alice in Wonderland Blu-ray, and it will not have a 3D presentation.
Disney's remake of the classic animated film from over 50 years ago will be coming out on Blu-ray later this year. As the first major 3D release from the studio since the explosion of home 3D entertainment, it is interesting to see that there is no planned 3D content on the disc. The 3D Blu-ray Disc that everyone is talking about is, of course, Avatar. People are flocking to the stores for that movie, but the initial BD release does not contain 3D functionality. That will come with a later release. Unlike Avatar, however, Disney has announced no plans to create a different Blu-ray version of Alice in Wonderland with 3D. Although the film has done quite well at the box office, Alice was greeted with mediocre reviews and even worse comments about the 3D effects, which were added after the movie was shot and not part of the original production plan. The Alice Blu-ray that was announced is not a bare-bones release either. It is a three-disc combo pack with tons of extra goodies, so a later 3D release seems unlikely, at least at this point. It brings up questions about the viability of 3D in the home market. Consumers are sitting out there with a brand new 3D TV and no 3D content to watch. If other studios become as discerning as Disney, it could stifle consumer adoption

According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, the new Alice in Wonderland (2010) will be coming to DVD and BluRay approximately 3 months after it's release in theaters.Apparently, some theaters in the UK are up in arms and refusing to show it."But despite all this nurturing of Burton's vision, his movie is under threat of being smothered at birth. Quite extraordinarily, the UK's three largest cinema chains - Odeon, Vue and Cineworld - are threatening not to show it. They account for 65 per cent of the UK's cinemas, and 90 per cent of the 3-D screens, so the threat is a serious one. Given that the premiere is next Thursday and the movie opens on March 5, it's a disaster. The cause of the angst is that Disney wants to release the film on DVD and Blu-ray only three months after it opens at the cinema, rather than the standard 17 weeks. It wants to get the DVD into the shops before the midsummer doldrums, and to capitalise on the marketing of the movie while it is still fresh in people's minds. But the cinemas are afraid that people will just wait to buy the film on DVD rather than spend money on going to the pictures. They aren't alone: four big cinema chains in Holland are boycotting the film and the Italians are rebelling, too."
