Ed, HNY to you too and greetings from freezing London!
I can recommend the following three Blu-rays which covers model animation, cartoon and a slasher movie - they provide an interesting glimpse into the exciting developments in 3D movie making. Monsters vs Aliens Blu-Ray DVD, purely to watch the animation of the hilarious B.O.B's big break, which runs for about 20 minutes - it is a delight for young and old.
Animated adventure, Coraline (3D) (Blu-ray) I found fascinating as a good example of an immersive experience into a fantasy. The behind the scenes "extras" is excellent, as they explain and demonstrate how the models were painstakingly made and then animated and captured in 3D. The movie was made by passionate people who spent months creating and moving the models in sequence. They show the camera gear in use.
My Bloody Valentine (3D) (Blu-ray) is a slasher film and is worth watching, but a bit OTT in terms of baseball bats etc jumping out of the screen.
It is worth purchasing sturdier glasses than using the complimentary cardboard framed ones provided with the movies. The 3D TV glasses are different from the 3D glasses for looking at printed 3D images and 3D images on the computer.
There are some exceptional people (Bob Angell & Arthur Wooster) who have been filming since the 50s, I saw some 50s documentaries of "The Queen in 3D" on Channel 4 recently.
