P3D 3D Movies in Oz

[Andrew Woods <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nov 11, 1997:

Two bits of Australian 3D news:

1. The Panasonic IMAX theatre in Sydney was recently upgraded to 3D.
(in the past few weeks according to my SMPTE newsletter).
I don't know when they will start screening 3D IMAX movies.

   update Nov 14, 1997:  They are currently screening "Across the
                          Sea of Time" in 3D

2.  Marvin the Martian in 3D is coming to the Australian Warner Bros.
Movie World:

With regards to the "first and only animated 3D movie" quote.  I
guess they haven't heard of "Starchaser: The Legend of Orin" 107minutes

I'm off to Sydney & Brisbane in December.  You don't need to be Einstein
