Realizing it has a good thing going, Disney recently announced that it will give similar treatments to classic family movies including "Beauty and the Beast," "Finding Nemo," and "The Little Mermaid," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "The Lion King 3D" has earned an impressive $80 million domestically in its limited release and has even surpassed the $100 million in terms of global returns.
