    Pixar sued by epileptics over controversial "3-D" movie
    C. Reston (staff reporter)

    Shannon Flint didn't know what hit her. "I was putting on the glasses they handed out at the door and when I looked at the screen, I threw up and passed out." And she wasn't alone.

    All across the country, long lines formed to get a glimpse of Pixar's newest creation "Up", a quirky comedy about lovelorn robots, but epileptics in the audience were also exposed to flashing lights from the 3D effects. Flashing lights are known to cause seizures in epileptics.

    President Clinton has issued a statement demanding that Pixar and Disney be more careful with this new technology and has called for a 6 month moratorium on 3 dimensional movies. Pixar had no comment.

    Just imagine if they re-released "Toy Story", they could give a whole new dimension to the name "Woody".

    3-D makes me think the 80's...

    It's okay. When you were growing up in the 80s, the 3D stuff that was coming out was reminding your parents and grandparents of the 50s and 60s.

      That means that somewhere out there is a mugger with three eyes. He can see in 4D!

    Oh joy, they can release Bwana Devil again in 3D!

    It seems like every few years someone releases another film in 3D, and they all suck.
