Additionally, we are very pleased to announce in association with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Canada, the first 3D movie to premiere in this location using this new digital system will be Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

I love watching the audience wearing their 3D glasses and seeing people reach out to touch the images that appear to be floating in front of them and with our premiere film, audience members will feel as if they are on stage dancing beside the Jonas Brothers.”
