Two sources, two answers

This catalogue publishes the disagreement rather than choosing between them. Both are sourced and linked; the reader decides, or nobody does until a third source settles it.

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.

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

Who is credited on the stereo

From TMDB, contributed by its users

These are crew credits from TMDB, where the list is written by contributors. Nobody here has checked one against the film's own titles, and TMDB does not say which of its entries have been checked. They are shown because each carries an address you can check it at; they are not evidence of the same weight as the sourced rows above.
