Producer Don Hahn confirmed to Empire plans for a theatrical release of The Lion King in 3D.
Though the conversion process is still in the early stages, the plan is for The Lion King to follow the upcoming 3D version of Beauty and the Beast, set for release sometime in 2011.
Hahn went on to tease the proposed Roger Rabbit sequel, saying only,”if you’re a fan, pretty soon you’re going to be very, very, very happy.”
The bad news for Disney fans is that hand-drawn The Snow Queen has been put on hold, though Hahn is quick to remind readers that even tabled projects can make triumphant returns, citing the years-in-development Beauty and the Beast as an example.
