Working for Peanuts is a 1953 animated short produced by Walt Disney. It is notable for being one of their first shorts filmed in 3-D. (The first was Adventures in Music: Melody, which was released several months before.)
In 2006, it was re-mastered for Digital 3-D purposes using Real D Cinema technology and re-released in 2007 along with the Disney Digital 3-D version of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Meet the Robinsons.
Working for Peanuts was also showcased a number of times at the Disney theme parks and was used as a teaser 3-D cartoon at Walt Disney Worlds Magic Kingdom, which showcased a 3-D movie, Magic Journeys, that was sponsored by Kodak.
