Where this disc is listed

Not found on Apple's United Kingdom store. Apple gives a film a different identifier in each country, and the American one does not resolve there; a search of the British store on returned no listing that matches this film either. Two checks that found nothing, rather than proof Apple sells nothing — any digital edition above is the American one.1

How the 3D was made

The thinnest part of the record

How a film reached the screen in stereo is the part of this record that matters most, and it is the part that is thinnest. What is missing keeps its row rather than being dropped, so you can see where the record stops.
