These screenings will take place in Los Angeles, CA (Universal City IMAX Theatre), San Francisco, CA (Sony Metreon IMAX Theatre), Chicago, IL (Sony Navy Pier IMAX Theatre), Houston, TX (Edwards Marquis IMAX Theatre), Philadelphia, PA (King of Prussia IMAX Theatre), and Seattle, WA (Pacific Science Center IMAX Theatre) on December 9, 2000 giving the Variety Club's children a chance to enjoy CYBERWORLD 3D on the giant IMAX screen. For many of these children, this will be their first time experiencing the magic of IMAX's cutting-edge technology as they blast into the third dimension with the visual fantasy of IMAX's CYBERWORLD 3D, Presented by Intel(R). This radical collaboration of computer-animated films features new characters and old friends from The Simpsons and ANTZ and allows you to experience 3D like never before! "Screenings of CyberWorld 3D are a fantastic gift from IMAX. I just know the children are going to love it!" said The Variety Clubs' President of Los Angeles, CA. "IMAX theatres are an incredibly useful tool in reminding families that education and entertainment can go hand in hand. I hope all the children of the Variety Clubs enjoy the film and have a wonderful holiday and New Year." CyberWorld 3D, presented by Intel(R) follows a saucy, synthetic hostess, named Phig (voice performance created by Jenna Elfman), who takes guests through CyberWorld, a futuristic gallery of wild adventures and spectacular images. Trouble arrives in the form of three code-gobbling Computer critters named Buzzed, Wired and Frazzled who are voraciously feeding on the environment's computer code foundation, forcing Phig into a battle to save herself and CyberWorld from total annihilation. These fantastic images, created with 3D computer-generated animation and with IMAX Corporation's cutting-edge SANDDE(TM) animation technology, will forever change the face of animation. Long considered "the heart of show business," Variety Club was founded nearly 70 years ago when a baby was abandoned in a Pittsburgh movie theatre on Christmas Eve. Since then, Variety Club has become one of the largest children's charities in the world, with 53 chapters in 13 countries, raising over $30 million annually. The clubs are dedicated to providing lifesaving and life enriching assistance to disabled, disadvantaged, and abused children through the efforts of local chapters. With 31 chapters in the U.S., Variety Club is proud of the fact that all the money raised in a community, stays in that community, to go where needs of children are the greatest. Variety Clubs help children in a variety of ways: artificial limbs, braces, and wheelchairs to improve mobility; neonatal intensive care for infants born prematurely; special education and treatment for autism, learning disabilities, cerebral palsy; safe places for at-risk-youth and much more.
