Two sources, two companies

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.

Available in 3D

Every edition the catalogue holds for this film

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

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.

Released on disc in Greece, Brazil, USA. Earliest recorded disc release . The source names the film by title alone, so this row is matched rather than confirmed.

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.

Smurf happens.

When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours -- in fact, smack dab in the middle of Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.
