“Disney is recognized globally for creating wonderful worlds full of fantasy and imagination, and fans have been amazed at how these worlds come to life with Dolby Cinema,” said Doug Darrow, senior vice president, cinema business group, Dolby Laboratories. “With Disney’s continued support, the magic of Disney has never felt more real, and we can’t wait to see what this incredible new slate of titles look and sound like in Dolby Cinema.”
This announcement marks a major milestone, as Disney•Pixar’s Cars 3 is the 50th title announced to be color-graded in Dolby Vision and mixed in Dolby Atmos for Dolby Cinema in just over a year. Dolby Cinema launched with its first titles, Disney’s Tomorrowland and Disney•Pixar’s Inside Out in 2015.
“Dolby and Disney have had many industry firsts together, including bringing the advancement of Dolby Atmos sound to audiences with Disney•Pixar’s Brave and the spectacular image of Dolby Vision last year. These groundbreaking technologies take the theatrical movie going experience to the next level,” said Jeff Miller, president, studio operations, The Walt Disney Studios. “It’s very suiting that Disney was the first Dolby Atmos release, the first Dolby Vision release and now the 50th title to utilize both technologies.”
To date, The Walt Disney Studios has announced or released 17 titles for Dolby Cinema, including The Good Dinosaur, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Captain America: Civil War, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Finding Dory and The BFG.
