“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 moviegoing 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.
Dolby Cinema enables richer and more detailed storytelling
through Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Vision projection
system, which uses state-of-the-art optics and image processing,
delivers high dynamic range with enhanced color technology and a
contrast ratio that far exceeds that of any other image technology
on the market today. The result is a dramatically different viewing
experience that presents strikingly vivid and realistic images,
making viewers feel like they are inside the movie’s world. Dolby
Cinema also includes the award-winning Dolby® sound technology
Dolby Atmos, which moves audio around the cinema, even overhead,
with amazing richness and depth. Dolby Atmos debuted in 2012 in
Disney•Pixar’s Academy Award® winning Brave.
