The Disney Vault

I dont understand why they are releasing a dvd/bluray version of Beauty & the Beast when they plan to release a 3-d version of the film in theaters (for 2011.) Wouldnt it make more sense to keep the film in the vault so the 3-d release will be more anticipated(& then release it on dvd/bluray)?

anyway I already have the first dvd release & I dont see any need for this film to be in 3-d. I did see it when it was released on Imax b/c its not often you get to see older Disney animated film again on the big screen, but I think 3d-fying it is pointless. Hercules, Tarzan or Lion King maybe but not B&B.

Song of the South (1946) before but I've read the book about the tales of Brer Rabbit.
Yes the film would be politically incorrect that even though it won major awards.

It's no worse than some of the old Looney Toones cartoons. Like this scene from Southern Fried Rabbit.
