They reuse the same miniatures from the Heisei era Toho films, and I find the practical effects pretty charming. I wish I could find some fansubs online, but they aren't really necessary to enjoy the short ride.

Thanks to BleedOrange11’s discovery, I’ve also acquired Godzilla Monster Planet 3D! I found a used disc on Amazon Japan (without the action figure it’s around $30), and forwarded it to the US with ZenMarket.

I agree with all his points. 10/10. This is strong, theme park-level 3D with constant popouts. Even stronger depth than A*P*E, with much higher production value. There’s a journey to space sequence that had my eyes popping like Dr Strange in the Open Your Eye sequence. The suitmation is occasionally more charming than convincing, but that’s classic Zilla for ya. And yes, Big G does atomic breath right at the camera.

This stands toe-to-toe with Digimon Grand Prix as some of the best 3D I own. I can’t wait to surprise my friends with it when I screen Godzilla Vs Kong 3D next year before the sequel, but I’ll have to screen the short after the feature, so it doesn’t upstage Legendary’s more subtle 3D.

my order from buyoyo shipped, 2 items were cancelled due to out of stock (which I don't understand because both still show 12-25 days to restock), 3AM Part 2 & Ghost in the Shell: SSS. other than that, all other 10 titles are on their way.

If I am correct the ̶̶f̶o̶l̶l̶o̶w̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ last two titles are not listed in your IMDB lists.

Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash☆Star: Maji☆Doki♡ 3D Theater [IMAX (Japan) July 2006]
--> this short has a lot of shots with exaggerated depth



Pretty Cure All Stars DX: 3D Theatre [Cinema (Japan) August 5, 2011]

Is it true that 'Stand by me Doraemon 2' received only a (cinema) 2D release, even if on wikipedia it is written that it is a 3D computer-animated film? Some other movie has the same written on wikipedia, and it received a (cinema) 3D release.

[BleedOrange11]

Stand by Me Doraemon 2 was not released in stereoscopic 3D, only 2D and 2D Imax. I remember checking Japan cinemas online in its opening week (and have since double checked myself). That was a disappointment for me since I loved the first film. Any claims of "3D" refers to CGI in this case.

[BleedOrange11]

Have you seen any of those shorts in 3D? Do they have a physical release or online version in 3D?

That Pretty Cure Splash Star (2006) short was only released 2D on DVD as far as I know, based on Wiki:

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81...A2_Splash_Star

[BleedOrange11]

I added a bit more to the "Unreleased Japanese 3D Movies" list. A lot of these shorts have no IMDB entry.

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls565645058/

Japan has little pop-up theaters, based out of trucks on the street, that play 3D/4D/VR shorts. (Charlie Chu also drives something similar around Taiwan to show his films.) There are a lot more shorts for these that I haven't fully researched or listed on this site.

https://dynamoamusement.jp/works/ [note that some of these could be just 2D (flat) in 4D (motion chairs) and others are VR only]

The city/castle/museum that produced Oshu Shiroishi Story: Nobuo Miyagino's Daughter's Revenge (2018) plays two more historical drama/samurai re-enactment native 3D short films, one of them featuring Ken Watanabe. I can't find enough data to even list their original year of release though. No posters either.

http://shiro-f.jp/shiroishijo/info/index.html

Japan also has their own version of the Lumiere Awards, which I have found to be a helpful resource for discovering new 3D films.

https://advancedimagingsociety.jp/award/index.html

The director who shot People Who Are Addicted to Jomon (2018), a native 3D museum documentary with a 2D DVD, also made a low-budget native 3D horror feature, Sentimental, which won a JP Lumiere Award in 2020 but, as far as I can tell, was never released theatrically, even limited or in festivals. It looks pretty fun.

I watched the two Pretty Cure shots only in 2D, on Dailymotion. I am not aware of any 3D release physical or online, I thought you might have more info about it, concerning 3D release.

There was a limited release of Magic Han War in Korea by LG, it wasn't available at retail but seems to have been offered as a pack in extra for TV customers. It looks like there were at least three different discs.

I gather it was a 26-part cartoon to teach kids Mandarin. The CG is N64 standard but the 3d is native.

There is also a new Japanese release called 'Void Scripture' which mentions 3d (but not 3d blu ray) on the back of the box. Apparently it includes '3D interviews with 4 popular lives such as Tsukino Mito and Kuzuha' and '“Koku Gathering” Four Heavenly Kings 3D conversation'". Has Japan broken its indigenous 3d drought?

Maybe BleedOrange can shed some light?

[BleedOrange11]

I had not heard of these, so I will have to research them.

I got vol 1 and 2 of magic hanja each disc has 2 25 min episodes not sure if the whole series was printed. The 3d is ok in places with pop out magical effects but lots of shots are 2d.

There is also flower and snake, it's listed on here but I'd never heard of it. There is one bonus segment presented in side by side, not blu ray 3d. Very weak stereo.
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Flowe...Blu-ray/82375/

It's Hot Nekogoya is low res sbs and awful all round. I had to fast forward to get through it.

Another one is Enkiri Village Dead End Survival. Again it's an sbs blu ray ( cheaping out on licensing fees?) and very low budget, poor quality footage. 3d is fine.

If you want them PM me an address and I'll post them out, they are all in my bin pile. No wonder 3d died fast in Japan.

[BleedOrange11]

Thanks for your reviews. I have Enkiri Village. I’ll add that it’s a mix of decent native 3D with lots of segments of horrid autoconversion. And no subtitles available online. It wasn’t really worth me buying, but it was cheap, and now I know.

[lucasatakros]

I just saw a post on Facebook 3D collectors trade buy that some are available for shipping to USA......

Search “Marvel Movinex 3D” on AmazonJP

I ordered:

Guardians 3 7545 yen
Quantumania 6860
Eternals 5854
Love and Thunder 5476
$197 USD with shipping

Now I need Mulitverse and Wakanda Forever......

According to the specs, it seems the Hong Kong versions are 2.35:1 ratio and the Taiwan releases are 1.78:1. Can someone verify?

Sorry to bump a 5-year-old post but I’m also trying to get some clarification on the differences between the HK and Taiwan 3D releases of the Monkey King films. Are the Taiwan releases really cropped from the 2.35:1 ratio?

I have the Taiwanese release of MK1 and Hong Kong releases of MK2 & MK3. I return after the new year. Hopefully others will chime in. Otherwise, hit me up then and I'll check those versions out for you.

It's a Chinese release but not too tricky to find online.

It's a shame Monkey King: Hero is Back never got a 3D Blu-ray...

Sorry to once again bump a years old post but just curious if the13thman or anyone else can speak to the 3D in Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven. there are a few for sale via Amazon UK but i didnt want to pull the trigger if the conversion is more of an afterthought. would love to hear anyone's opinions!

Also, to clarify my earlier question, i ended up ordering the Taiwan blu ray of Monkey King 2 and it is in fact in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio

And my question for the new page:
