ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Oct. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA has entered into an agreement with The Walt Disney Studios to add popular 3D movies for rental to the "3D World" application on LG's Smart TV platform.
Disney 3D content now available for rental includes such popular titles as the "Toy Story" trilogy and "Alice in Wonderland," among many others. Additional 3D blockbuster titles are scheduled for the coming months, including "Marvel's The Avengers," and Disney-Pixar's "Brave" on Nov. 13.
"Providing consumers with the latest blockbuster hits from Disney is another boost for Smart TV in the home and a perfect fit for our family approach to enjoying our home entertainment products," said James Fishler, senior vice president, marketing and go-to-market operations, LG Electronics USA.
"Having these titles available through our Smart TV platform and on our CINEMA 3D HDTVs speaks volumes about LG's commitment to continuously broadening the breadth of our offerings and partnerships so that consumers of all ages have access to an endless amount of entertainment, from online games to applications, broadcast and now Disney movie titles," Fishler said.
