Original post:
It seems Disney once again drops the 3D animation Blu-ray release for the Planes: Fire & Rescue (at least in US). The only 3D version is

[Show spoiler]the BestBuy exclusive 3D Slipcover only

. I think I need the real 3D movie presentation rather than the slipcover only!

Just to add to this, there is currently no listing on Amazon UK for a 3D release either. So it looks like the UK may not get it in 3D also.

Thought I read that at least ONE region 3D blu was coming....

Had a feeling this was going to happen (Disney starting to region lock their discs.) Too early yet to confirm....we 'll have to see what happens after Big Hero 6 gets a home release.

I believe that France was getting the 3D version.

Sacrebleu, lets hope Disney doesn't find out, they might shelve it.

Someone high up in the organization of Disney must have a pet peeve against 3d thus setting the hostile tone toward 3d for the home release division. Most companies have this autocratic rule of one or a few individuals making the decision for what's "best" for the company instead of, God forbid, actually listening to their consumers. Disney could easily do a limited 3d run a.k.a. pre-orders only or some other promotion that would satisfy the 3d niche market and prevent excess unsold inventory. They are just being obstinate about this despite receiving negative feedback from a vocal minority. Eliminating 3d releases across the board here in the states is also irresponsible because it prevents the possibility of 3d becoming more mainstream as 3d technology becomes more advanced and affordable for home use. They should at least leave a crack in the door instead of shutting us out completely because that's eliminating a possible future expanding demographic that could prove to be profitable for Disney in the long term.

The page is no more on amazon. It does not look good for this one

It's showing up on Vudu in 3D as a pre-order for the low low price of $35, but even if I wanted to get it that way none of my equipment supports Vudu's 3D. I hate Di$ney.

[privateeye0]

I literally enjoy all animation 10x more in 3D even the average films. PLEASE give this a region B release DISNEY!

Thank God for Starz 3D On Demand where you can watch Disney 3D films free with a subscription to Starz.

Subscription?

Then, it ain't free!

Haven't had cable for decades- Starz intrudes on their movies with on-screen crap promoting upcoming shows, and they and most other movie channels crop scope movies to 16x9 (in the analog era they showed everything in 4x3 pan and scan.) Good to hear there's at least some 3D content left on cable though, as I heard ESPN 3D and 3Net shut down recently, both after not showing a lot of compelling material and repeating a lot of shows ad nauseum.

Starz usually shows 3D movies in their intended AR. For this month:

1.78 Battle of the Year
2.35 Frozen
1.78 Monsters University
1.78 One Direction
2.35 Thor: Dark World

Unfortunately, 3D over cable is only 540i x 2 resulting in a terrible 3D presentation when compared to 3D bluray.

Its not terrible. Its the same 3D you get from a passive 3D TV set.

Are you kidding? Another person who peddles the myth of non hd for passive...

If that's the case with active, you lose more than half temporally by it shutting black in for every second frame and sometimes more.I will try and find some links which even though they are now old explain things for you..sorry It won't work because I'm using an ipad.

The first is on the displaymate website and the other explanation is in I think Sven de Witt's blog...
Sorry I couldn't link them.

[bruceames]

So at this point, is there any chance that this will get released anywhere on 3D? It's been deleted from the Amazon France site.

i can only shake my head at cinerama's post above. Because what Cinerama says its so far from the truth
