Looking Deeper into "Meet the Robinsons" and the Future of Film
Phil McNally looks at things a little more deeply than most people do -- but then, that's his job. As the "stereoscopic supervisor" for the upcoming Disney film "Meet the Robinsons," it's his job to bring depth to the movie -- in every sense of the word! How do we see a flat image on a screen as a 3D world we could practically step into? And how do you make a film that takes advantage of the whole new dimension opened up by 3D?
"Meet the Robinsons," opening in theaters on March 30, is a film of the future in more ways than one.

YOUR QUESTION
