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.

Provenance
Converted Shot in stereo, converted afterwards, or a mix of the two.

Prepare for awesomeness.

Chosen by prophecy but doubted by all, Po is an unlikely choice for the mystical title of the Dragon Warrior—a clumsy panda thrust into the world of kung fu as a deadly enemy threatens the Valley of Peace. Under reluctant guidance by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, Po must embrace who he is to unlock the power that no scroll can teach.
