Not only are we talking the 'tween factor but the added 3D revenue effect and what looks like awesome graphics.

Yep - Here is confirmation of the duet with Miley Cyrus and John Travolta. You can relax now that you know for sure that this is indeed going to happen... :-)
Jim here. Disney's BOLT has got a brand new website and they are starting to stock it with downloadable icons, wallpapers, videos and photos - also the first of three games is available (Rhino's Rollerball).
Get ready for the 9th inning marketing blitz from arguably the best in the business. Will it live up to all the hype?
Yes. It will - all in glorious 3D on November 21st. Can't wait for this puppy.
Wow. Is November sneaking up on us or what? Disney has just released a new poster for their upcoming November 21st bow of BOLT, voiced by John Travolta and Miley Cyrus.
And yeah, the glimpses I have seen of the movie are fully awesome. I expect a ton of laughs from this movie and ample, AMPLE box office gold for Disney. Oh, there shall be box office gold...

Jim here. Here is the new extended trailer for Disney's BOLT, a 3D animation coming our way on November 21st. I've got to say - it looks pretty darn funny.
For those who have not seen Disney's BOLT trailer, view the 1080p HD version here, or check out the embedded version below:
Mark my words, this movie will be huge (opens THIS November 21st) and could have a nice extended run in 3D theaters until mid January 2009 when MY BLOODY VALENTINE scares up an audience. Yes, yet another voice-over 3D milestone will be hit, this time with Miley's tone. Milestone. Miley's tone. Hello? Is this thing on?
Jim here. Disney has released a couple more BOLT images from their upcoming 3D animation movie slated for November 26th.
I think that the movie has wonderful use of daytime colors and I can't wait to see how Disney Digital 3D has handled the lighting for the pic.
Lighting is one of the more crucial elements in the production of a 3D movie as the light is essentially split between two eyes when projected in theaters.
John Travolta, Miley Cyrus (yes, she IS everywhere nowadays!) and Susie Essman lend their voices to the show.
The Disney Channel and Starz On Demand / HD will be offering the "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour" movie in 3D starting July 26th.
While the concert will indeed be shown in 3D, the big difference is that the TV versions will be shown in anaglyph format which means you will have to buy or make your own glasses for it. The Starz website actually shows you how you can create them if you so choose.
Soon we will have the technology in place so that we do not rely on anaglyph for 3D Home Videos. In fact I believe in that so much I bought the URL :-) Check out www.3DHomeVideos.com - takes you right back to your truly heh.
Looks like the Miley Cyrus train just keeps on motorin'. Look for the Jonas Bros 3D concert next in theaters! I may have some exciting news about this concert very soon - stay tuned!!

As I reported back on April 14th, The Jonas Brothers (the boy band that was featured in the 3D Hannah Montana - Miley Cyrus concert movie this year) have officially stated that they will be releasing a 3D concert film focusing on them for 2009 from their "Burning Up" concert tour.
Bruce Hendricks and Art Repola (who were responsible for the Hannah / Miley 3D film) will direct and produce the film respectfully once again.
From their press release: "The Jonas Brothers' top-selling headline arena tour, the "Burning Up Tour", is scheduled to kick off in Toronto on July 4th, with special guest Demi Lovato ("Camp Rock"). The brothers also star in the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie, "Camp Rock" (premiering on June 20th), and in the Disney Channel series, "J.O.N.A.S!," debuting this fall. Their self-titled debut album, released in August 2007, has gone on to achieve platinum status. The band's most recent hit single, "When You Look Me In The Eyes," debuted as the #1 most added at Top 40 radio."

Ahem. Writing memoirs is typically reserved for when you have enough memories to fill a book. Apparently Miley Cyrus and Disney have decided that she does in fact have enough. We all know that a corporation is going to strike hard and fast while a commodity is hot, but I don't know about completely swamping all media channels being very wise. Cyrus recently had a massive sold out concert tour and quickly followed that up with a hugely popular 3D movie about the same concert tour.
The book will focus on the relationship of Miley and her mother and how other families could learn from them.
Yeah, ok. But has her mother seen the recent photos of Miley on the Internets? (no I am not posting a link). What is with teens and Internet photos/videos today? Surely they realize that they are writing their own history books for everyone to read for an eternity! If they are not careful she will just become another Disney girl gone bad. So please do be careful. Oops, they did it again.
And the Miley Cyrus song keeps playing!
Disney is leveraging the teen singing sensation fresh off of her 3D concert hit "Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds" tour movie. She will be starring as Penny, the human co-star on the TV series that Bolt (a dog played by John Travolta) also stars in before his cross country adventure.
Bolt is a 3D animation that is slated for release on November 26 of THIS year.
Wow. MarketSaw ran a poll asking readers what 3D movie release of 2008 is their most anticipated: This movie all of a sudden has jumped a few slots in popularity with the addition of that young lady. Cyrus' success the past two years is nothing short of a phenomenon.

**UPDATE April 5th - PREORDER the 3D HD Blu-ray concert movie at Amazon - Link is at the end of the post...
I saw this yesterday but wanted to research just how they are displaying the 3D info which I still have not had an answer I am completely happy with. Will update you ASAP.
Anyway, Disney is releasing the "Hannah Montana And Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Tour" movie on Blu-ray on August 19th. As we have already posted, Disney will be releasing the concert's CD/DVD version next week. Check the link for the contents of those discs.
Of course there are extras on the Blu-ray release and they include "The Ultimate Personal Tour" (Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers getting ready for their concert - looks at their full day), and two extra songs ("Good And Broken", Miley Cyrus, and "SOS" (ABBA) by the Jonas Brothers.
The HUGE news though is that Disney is showing off their 3-D Viewing Mode for the first time! There is also a 2D mode for everyone without the 3D setup, but both modes are in stunning 1080p HD with PCM 7.1 Surround Sound.
Pricing is pegged at $35.98 and you can bet that this Blu-ray will be HIGH on 'tweens Christmas lists this year. Very high. Not to mention "Mom and Dad - we need the 3D HD set-up NOW!"
:-)
Look out - Here comes the future!!
Look for a new list of current and upcoming 3D Home Videos soon on MarketSaw!
Well first Disney had their sold out "Best of Both Worlds" (BOBW) concert tour for Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus that had kids shaking and parents shaking their heads. Then they released the BOBW concert in Digital 3D across the country to what was supposed to be only a one week engagement - limiting the exposure, but driving up awareness. They then extended the movie's run until it had run its course (I knew they were going to do that anyway).
The formula seems to work doesn't it? It sure does. Limit availability and drive up the frenzy of kids nation wide for Hannah and Miley.
Now, Disney is bringing out the BOBW CD PLUS DVD (package deal) for an exclusive period beginning March 11th ONLY at Wal-Mart, a full month before it is released widely to other retail stores. Wal-Mart is so huge it doesn't really matter that much anyway, but the point is it is limited again in scope (one chain and for a limited time). The price will be $13.88 (sounds very Wal-Martish doesn't it?) and you can even pre-order it here (of course - just like pre-ordering the movie tickets!).
By the way, Wal-Mart has committed to bring over 140 different Hannah Montana products to market - everything from footwear to you guessed it: Music. In fact beginning March 11th, fans can download her MP3's from Walmart.com - OH and free shipping on any online Hannah items to your local store. That's a nice promo and really a no lose for Wal-Mart.
{sarcasm} What's really important here is that this is all in time for Easter! Woohoo Parents!! :-) {/sarcasm}.

Ok, maybe not - but this spoof website is hilarious! (At least this one post is - haven't looked at the rest of the site yet) Check it out.
**Update Feb 10th: BOBW now stands at $53 million + as of today! U23D wide release coming up February 15th - be sure to see it if you haven't already with the limited IMAX release.
**Update Feb 5th: Disney now reports that BOBW made $31.1 million on its first weekend and not $29m as originally estimated! That makes for a jaw dropping $45,561 per screen - and hey folks, it ain't over yet. Remember most of the first week has been sold out in advance - look for continued superlative results from this wonderful 3D movie.
**Update Feb 4th: Disney will be ending the extension of "Best of Both Worlds" by February 15th, which is the wide release date of the critically acclaimed 3D concert U23D which is in limited release now in select IMAX theaters.**
Yep - just as I thought; Disney has decided to extend the Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus "Best of Both Worlds" (TBOBW) 3D concert movie until it has run its course. Of course it was a publicity gimmick. Of course it worked. Her concert movie is number one at the box office. Easily.
Remember when Hannah Montana's concert tour had sold out venues and tickets were going for outrageous sums of money? Am I seeing double here?
Be prepared for the same thing happening if Disney doesn't increase the number of days available for screening the movie "Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour" from one week to two (at least). On the heels of another excellent 3D show, U23D - demand is skyrocketing and there are reports of some theaters already having sold out their weekend performances.
This seems to be unprecedented - Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus is quite the phenomenon! For example, AMC Hampton Towne Centre 24 in Hampton and at AMC Lynnhaven 18 in Virginia Beach, have both already sold out some of their weekend slots.
So buy your tickets pronto or you could be wishing you did soon. Hundreds of shows are already sold out. You can purchase them here. Only 3 and a half days away!
I have to say that the imagery looks darn good for a younger crowd vehicle. The 3D concert movie plays for 1 week only from February 1st to 7th. Take a 2D look:
