Marvin the Martian in 3D
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marvin the Martian in 3D or 'Marvin the Martian in the Third Dimension' was an attraction at Warner Bros. Movie World, a popular movie related theme park on the Gold Coast in Australia.
In 1997 Marvin the Martian in 3D opened in the Roxy Theatre. The movie was the first computer animated movie viewed with 3D glasses to be produced in the world.[1] It mixed the old art of anaglyphic or polarized film (viewed with 3D glasses), and the relatively new art of CGI (the first CGI feature-film (Toy Story) was made only 2 years before).[2] [3]
In 2005, The Roxy Theatre saw Marvin the Martian in 3D ending its run and being replaced with the Shrek 4D Adventure which includes added real world effects to immerse the viewers into the film such as wind, water and smells.
"MARVIN THE MARTIAN In The Third Dimension" is showing at the Pictorium at Six Flags Great America theme park.[4] Though, the much larger screen size of the Pictorium suggests that there may differences from the original film seen in Australia. The version in the Pictorium will cease showings in May 2008.

- There were small nozzles in the cinema that would spray small blasts of water on the audience. This would correspond to something on screen (eg. Daffy spitting as he spoke).
