3-D RARITIES
A Collection of 22 Ultra-Rare and Stunningly Restored 3-D Films

It has taken over 30 years for the 3-D Film Archive to assemble and restore the material in 3-D Rarities, an eye-popping collection of ultra-rare and long-lost movies, which Flicker Alley and the 3-D Film Archive are proud to present here for the first time on Blu-ray.

Selections include Kelley's Plasticon Pictures, the earliest extant 3-D demonstration film from 1922 with incredible footage of Washington and New York City; New Dimensions, the first domestic full color 3-D film originally shown at the World's Fair in 1940; Thrills for You, a promotional film for the Pennsylvania Railroad; Around is Around, a 3-D animated gem by Norman McLaren; Rocky Marciano vs. Jersey Joe Walcott, the only 3-D newsreel; Stardust in Your Eyes, a hilarious standup routine by Slick Slavin; trailer for The Maze, with fantastic production design by William Cameron Menzies; Doom Town, a controversial anti-atomic testing film mysteriously pulled from release; puppet cartoon The Adventures of Sam Space, presented in widescreen; I'll Sell My Shirt, a burlesque comedy unseen in 3-D for over 60 years; Boo Moon, an excellent example of color stereoscopic animation...and more!

Presented in high-quality digital 3-D, all films have been stunningly restored and mastered direct from archival materials. Meticulously aligned shot by shot for precise registration of the original left/right elements, these historic 3-D motion pictures have never before looked this good.

The date of the first documented exhibition of a 3-D film occurred on June 10, 1915. 3-D Rarities commemorates the centennial of 3-D motion pictures!

- Introductions by Leonard Maltin and Trustin Howard.

Review :
Having seen many of these on 35mm I can say with absolute confidence that they have never looked better.
I had the opportunity recently to preview the final version of this "3-D Rarities" Blu-ray release.

The breadth of material is remarkable - ranging from shorts from the early 20's and going up to the animated Boo Moon, featuring Casper the Friendly Ghost. Some of these films have been shown at the 3-D Expos in California and Suffern, NY, but a lot of it is making its debut here. Having seen many of these on 35mm and earlier test video transfers I can say with absolute confidence that they have never looked better. Bob Furmanek and his technical director Greg Kintz has performed, literally, miracles with some of the faded and mis-aligned footage. With so much on-board I can only recount a few highlights, one being a terrific "Pennsylvania Railroad" promotional piece, another being the best-ever version of the stop-motion "Motor Rhythm." Unbelievably rare footage from pioneers Kelley, Crespinel, Norling and Leventhal, four Norman McLaren animated...
If you're looking for classic 3D Material, you've found it
I recently saw the final master of 3D Rarities and I have to say I am more than impressed by the work done by Bob Furmanek and Greg Kintz on this release. This amazing collection contains a number of 3D shorts that I have seen before projected in dual strip 35mm, but they have never looked better than they do here. Many, remastered in 4K wet gate scanning look brand new on the screen, with amazing off screen 3D. The collection ranges from experimental films from the 1920s through the golden age of Hollywood with trailers, promos, and period shorts. There's the absolutely stunning Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon BOO MOON, which I've seen many times in 35mm. Another rare item is a short subject produced by the Pennsylvania Railroad for the 1939 World's Fair. Being a rail fan, you can imagine what it's like to see Pennsy steamers and GG1s in action AND in 3D! Then there's SAM SPACE, MOTOR RHYTHM, Slick Slavin's STARDUST IN YOUR EYES, and so much more! The essays by the featured...
3-D Rarities is the best and most important 3D Blu-ray you can currently own (from a 3D reviewer)
Hello Everyone!

I write 3D reviews for Home Theater Forum. I own a collection of well over 100 3D titles and have excellent knowledge of how those titles look on a quality home screen.

I am also very much aware of how awful today's Hollywood 3D releases have become. The industry has ruined the 3D format. It's failure has nothing to do with the public's disinterest in the format, but rather Hollywood's disinterest in providing anything thrilling to look at. Most (or nearly all, actually) of what is released today to theaters and Blu-ray are upconversions done in post production. This means that filmmakers simply shot their film flat and then converted it afterwards. This is not how it was done in the 1950s during the "Golden Era" of 3D filmmaking, and as thus, what Hollywood is giving us today is a pale comparison of what viewers were treated to decades ago.

The death of 3D is totally the fault of of today's filmmakers. Nobody believes in...
