Following the immensely successful re–release of The Lion King in 3D, The Walt Disney Company has announced plans for the re–release of four more classics, including two Pixar Animation films.

The Lion King, which was first released in 1994, has made around $100 million worldwide in its 3D re–release. When added to the $312.8 million it made domestically back in ’94, the over $450 million in foreign box office, and a few spurts of income here and there since then, the movie now sits at a grand total of around $883 million.

So, of course, it wouldn’t take a business–savvy supergenius to figure out that there’s a whole lot of money to be made here. Which brings us to what movies you can expect to see returning to theaters in the next couple of years: Disney has revealed that Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc., and The Little Mermaid will all make their way back to the big screen in 3D.

Beauty and the Beast starts things off on January 13, 2012, and will be followed by Finding Nemo on September 14, 2012. Then comes Monsters, Inc. on January 18, 2013 (six months before its prequel, Monsters University, will be released) and finally, The Little Mermaid on September 13, 2013.

Which of these 3D re–releases are you most excited about seeing, if any?
