pete:
How many 3-d shorts were made and also are they available to purchase in original 3-d mode ?
Thanks

shemps#1:
Two shorts were made in 3D, Spooks and Pardon My Backfire, both made in 1953. As far as I know you cannot buy them in 3D anywhere.

garystooge:
You can buy 16mm prints of those 2 films in 3-D but they're quite hard to locate and won't come cheap. There are also some 8mm and super 8mm prints around but they are usually abridged versions that don't run the full 16-18 minutes.

I have an original CBS recording of Spooks and Pardon My Backfire from the 80s that my father taped. They were broadcast in 3D. I have no idea where that tape is, though. :-\

It was some Halloween special or something. I saw the tape a few years later as a kid. That was neat.

Broadcast in 3D? That can't be, because 1950's 3D in theaters required a special setup involving two synchronized 35mm projectors, and the audience had to wear cardboard and cellophane 3D glasses with one red and one blue lens. I actually own a pair, but they're not good for anything except inducing headaches, nowadays.

Maybe you think you saw those shorts in 3D because of the scenes where things are thrown at the camera (i.e., at the audience). But believe me, you didn't.
