Apple publishes no 3D flag, so this row says the film is sold here, not that the 3D version is.

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.
