Buzz In: What's Your Most Memorable 3-D Experience?
There's no better way to say it: 3-D movies are so hot right now. You should keep those glasses handy, because Disney is planning a 3-D remake of The Beatles Yellow Submarine, with Robert Zemeckis at the helm. Apparently we can expect all the Beatles tunes we know and love, in a format similar to Zemeckis's upcoming A Christmas Carol.
