The new wave of 3D had already become an often seen feature of animations in particular as well as live action films like Journey to the Centre of The Earth 3D before Pixar announced that Up would require its viewers to don Eric Morcambe style glasses to watch it in cinemas. Though their Disney half did venture into the territory with Bolt, an early runner of the technique.
