Plot[edit]
The 3D Concert Experience follows the Jonas Brothers during their Burnin' Up Tour in a behind-the-scenes look at their busy schedule while in New York City, August 9–11, 2008. As part of their concert tour, they also go on a press tour, including interviews and television performances to promote the release of their third studio album, A Little Bit Longer and ending their day in Madison Square Garden. The film intercuts to concert performances off their self-titled second studio album and third studio album, filmed during their tour on July 13–14, 2008 in Anaheim. Performing alongside the Jonas Brothers are guest stars Demi Lovato on "This Is Me", Taylor Swift on "Should've Said No" and the brothers' bodyguard Robert "Big Rob" Feggans on "Burnin' Up". The film also debuted two new studio recordings, "Love Is On Its Way", which was filmed in Central Park, and "Live to Party", which would later serve as the theme song for their Disney Channel TV series.

Reception and box office[edit]
The film received generally negative reviews from critics; on Rotten Tomatoes it holds a 24% rating based on 76 critics' reviews. The site's consensus reads, "Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience should please the brothers' adoring followers, but for non-converts, this concert film is largely flat and unenlightening."[5] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 45 out of 100 based on 14 reviews.[6] In general, critics panned the film for lacking appeal to any people outside the group's fan base. According to Box Office Mojo in 2009, it was the sixth highest-grossing concert film, following Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, Michael Jackson's This Is It, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (in which the Jonas Brothers had a guest star role), One Direction: This Is Us and Katy Perry: Part of Me.[7][8][9]
The film was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in 2009 for "Choice Movie: Music/Dance" and "Choice Music Album: Soundtrack".[10]
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on June 30, 2009. In the US, the Blu-ray edition of the film includes the anaglyph 3D version, with both one and two-disc DVD editions including only the 2D version of the film. However, for the UK and Australia DVD releases, Disney chose to release the film with the 3D version on DVD, as there was no Blu-ray release in either country.
Blu-ray Extended Edition[11]
The film was included as part of the release catalog for the launch of the Disney+ streaming platform in November 2019, along with Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, however, both films were not released in 3D. The film was renamed Jonas Brothers: The Concert Experience, much like the US DVD release of the concert film.[12]
