12 Days of 3D Christmas / Holiday Movies (Repost)

By: Jake Jarvis

Christmas and the Holiday season is upon us. What 3D Movies are great to watch during this time ? We made this list for this special occasion.

12. SAVING SANTA (2013)

This is a British animated holiday movie starring Martin Freeman, Joan Collins, Tim Curry, Tom Baker and Tim Conway. Time travel is used to save Santa and Christmas. 

11. A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS (2011)

Pot smoke looks great in 3D! This is another fun romp with Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn), America’s favorite stoners since Cheech and Chong. This film has plenty of childish adult humor with non-stop laughs.  

10. ICE AGE: A MAMMOTH CHRISTMAS (2011)

Ice Age has a Christmas TV special that was given a 3D Blu-ray release. Starring Ray Ramono, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and T.J. Miller. Sid, Edddie, Crash and Sid are on Santa’s naughty list. 

9. THE SNOW QUEEN (2012)

This is a russian animated 3D movie based on the Hans Christian Anderson story of the same name that inspired FROZEN. This particular version has turned into a franchise with three additional 3D movies.

8. MARCH OF THE WOODEN SOLDIERS a.k.a. BABES IN TOYLAND (1934)

A holiday staple starring Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy has been restored, colorized and converted into 3D. The results are quite nice. Loosely based on the 1903 operetta by Victor Herbert. Laurel and Hardy play two Toymakers, who are fired for screwing up Santa's Christmas order, and hijinks ensue.

7. POLAR EXPRESS (2004)

This movie has some of the creepiest motion capture footage ever released to the silver screen. Otherwise this is a great Christmas / holiday movie. Directed by Robert Zeneckis and starring Tom Hanks. The movie about a young boy who embarks on a Christmas eve trip aboard the Polar Express to discover if Santa Claus is real or not.

6. THE GRINCH (2018)

Benedict Cumberbatch voices The Grinch in this 3D animated full length feature remake of Dr. Suess' classic. This is not as good as the original Chuck Jones' animated tv special with Boris Karloff and Thurls Ravencroft, but a lot better than the Ron Howard directed Jim Carrey version. To read my full review of this movie go here. 

5. IRON MAN 3 (2013)

This is another Shane Black movie set during Christmas. Tony Stark vs The Mandarin and nothing is quite as it seems. Many people are not fans of this movie but I am. 

4. ARTHUR CHRISTMAS (2011)

This is an Aardman animation (Wallace and Gromit) British animated film. Arthur Claus has less than two hours to deliver a lost Christmas present to young girl.  What a charming little movie !

3. SHAZAM! (2019)

A Christmas time movie set in the DCEU. Teenager Billy Batson learns the magic word and transforms into an adult super-hero. This movie has some spooky scenes but is tons of fun. Starring Zachary Levi, Mark Strong, Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer. My review for this movie can be found here.

2. RISE OF THE GUARDIANS (2012)

An animated version of William Joyce's Guardians of Childhood books. This is essentially a holiday character animated avengers movie. Stars the voices of; Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin, Chris Pine, Jude Law, and more. The Boogeyman makes the children stop believing in Santa, the Guardians must correct this injustice. 

Honorable Mention: A Christmas Carol (2009)

This holiday movie was selected by Mr.Bungle5 . Mr.Bungle5 Is one of our patrons off Patreon. The classic Charles Dickens tale is reinvented in this animated with motion captured movie.

1. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)

This is an incredible stop motion animated film directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton. Stars the voices of; Danny Elfman, Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara and Paul Reubens. Lovingly converted to 3D and re-released in 2006, this is a great story with great music.

Autumn / Fall 2022 3D Movie Preview - Updated

Fall 2022 is officially here! 😀🎉

What 3D movies 🎥 will be available for your enjoyment in the Autumn / Fall 🍂 of 2022❓

This preview will educate you on all the upcoming 3-D movies and recently released 3D releases. We have some noteworthy re-releases, some long awaited movies and some sequels and some new movies. We got a little bit of everything!


Some Caveats …

The various movie release dates below are subject to change at any time. Furthermore 3D releases may vary between the various nations around the world. Some movies may only release in 3D in locations outside of the United States, and vice versa. Even if a specific movie does have a 3D version available your local theaters may decide to not have 3D screenings or to have very limited 3D showings. World events (Covid-19 pandemic, Monkey Pox pandemic, Wars, etc) can impact movie release dates for your specific region. Some movies may move to streaming platforms instead of receiving theatrical releases. Welcome to The Terrible 20’s ! 2020, 2021 and 2022 have been crazy, hectic years for recent human history.

Decisions on the 3D and 2D release of certain films may not be decided until weeks or days before its release. We did our best to fact check this article and provide you with the most accurate information possible at the time of publication. This article is a living document and it will be updated regularly as needed as information changes. We are not 100% confident that all these movies below will be released in 3D. Therefore we created a basic probability scale to compliment this preview. Probability rates and release dates are only based for the United States. It is extremely difficult to know if X movie will release in 3D in Y nation, as that information isn’t always widely available. Therefore we limited this probability scale is for the United States region since that is where the vast majority of the web traffic to 3Dor2D originates from.

Our probability scale is below:

  • ✅ Confirmed to have a 3D Release

  • 🟦 High Probability

  • 🟧 Medium Probability

  • 🟥 Low Probability

  • ❌ Not a 3D Movie

- Adolph Vega Founder, Director and Editor-In-Chief of 3Dor2D.com

Update:

Many of the movies we listed below have newer trailers and we added them. We also updated some release dates and added movies since the original publication of this article. We also added review links for now releases movies. If you already flipped through this article beforehand you might be surprised by how much of it has changed and how much new material is added.

This article now has a complementary podcast !

We recorded this before we got some delay announcements and new trailers, but it’s still a good listen.

Black Adam

Release Date:

October 21

Website:

https://www.warnerbros.com/movies/black-adam

Trailers: 

Information: 

The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change.

Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.

Is Black Adam a 3D movie ?

Probably


3D Confidence Rating - ❌ Not a 3D Movie

We fully expect Black Adam to release in 3D. That being said WB has been iffy lately about releasing its movies in 3D (DC League of Superpets, Joker). Since this looks more family friendly this movie it probably has a better chance of releasing in 3D than other recent DC Comic movies (The Suicide Squad, The Batman, Birds of Prey) .

Update:

Sadly Black Adam never released in 3D.

Is Shazam Fury of the Gods a 3D movie ?

Probably


3D Confidence Rating - 🟦 High Probability

We fully expect Shazam Fury of the Gods to release in 3D. The first Shazam movie released in 3D so we expect this one to also be released in 3D. That being said WB has been iffy lately about releasing its movies in 3D. Since this looks more family friendly this movie has a better likelihood of releasing in 3D.

Puss in Boots The Last Wish

Puss In Boots 2 movie poster

Information: 

This fall, everyone’s favorite leche-loving, swashbuckling, fear-defying feline returns. For the first time in more than a decade, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure in the Shrek universe as daring outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for peril and disregard for safety have taken their toll. Puss has burned through eight of his nine lives, though he lost count along the way. Getting those lives back will send Puss in Boots on his grandest quest yet. Academy Award® nominee Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of the notorious PiB as he embarks on an epic journey into the Black Forest to find the mythical Wishing Star and restore his lost lives. But with only one life left, Puss will have to humble himself and ask for help from his former partner and nemesis: the captivating Kitty Soft Paws (Oscar® nominee Salma Hayek). In their quest, Puss and Kitty will be aided—against their better judgment—by a ratty, chatty, relentlessly cheerful mutt, Perro (Harvey Guillén, What We Do in the Shadows). Together, our trio of heroes will have to stay one step ahead of Goldilocks (Oscar® nominee Florence Pugh, Black Widow) and the Three Bears Crime Family, “Big” Jack Horner (Emmy winner John Mulaney, Big Mouth) and terrifying bounty hunter, The Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura, Narcos).
