Disney Digital 3-D is a brand used by the The Walt Disney Company to describe three-dimensional films made by Disney and shown exclusively using digital projection.
Disney Digital 3-D is not a presentation nor a production format or technology. Films advertised as Disney Digital 3-D come from a number of sources, film, digital camera as well as animation software, and can be presented using any digital 3D technology, including RealD, Dolby 3D, XpanD and Master Image. There is no specific handling involved. Despite this, Disney always advertises Disney Digital 3-D films as if it would be a format of Digital 3D, leading to some confusion among the audience.
