'Monsters Inc.' 3D Re-Release Pulled Forward To December 2012

Briefly: For those who can't wait to see the 3D version of Monsters Inc., there's now one less month to wait. Disney and Pixar have pulled the 3D re-release forward from January 18, 2013 to Wednesday December 19, 2012. That means there will be only three months between the 3D Finding Nemo re-release and this new Monsters date.

That seems like an ambitious schedule for Disney, but the Monsters re-release will hit at a key moviegoing time, and also prime audiences for the June 21, 2013 release of the prequel, Monsters University. [Deadline]
