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

A Blu-ray 3D of this film exists. Which pressing it is — the label, the barcode, whether it is still made — has not been catalogued here yet, so there is no edition above to send you to.

Earliest recorded disc release . The source names the film by title alone, so this row is matched rather than confirmed.
