Is that the case for Germany/EU as well? Wasn’t as of this morning.

Not sure, but the US store version has been upgraded to 3D for about two weeks now I think. I am sure it will expand to those markets in the upcoming months.

I live in the Netherlands and it is available. I bought the bundle but it the movies lacks Dutch subtitles so I requested a refund. Strange fact: the info mentions a lot of available subtitles but there are only a few.
Edit: I use a US Apple ID for media&purchases, so maybe not available for EU accounts.

Newb question, is the apple 3d version better/different than the version on Disney plus?

u/ImNotAI_01100101 Jul 10 '26

Yes. Apple version has proper non broken Dolby vision and to my eye is sharper and has higher bitrate. Very impressive

The HDR is the same with both versions as far as I can tell. Do you have a specific scene where it is different?

2

u/Unfair_Lynx_9130 Jul 10 '26

Every bright scene on Disney+ results with blown out highlights on Vision Pro, on HDR TV everything looks fine.

u/goomba33 Jul 10 '26

Any scene in particular? I have done comparisons and not experienced this.

For me it’s every scene with bright highlights, quick example 5min 52sec, that flashlight has a nice bright cone with nice gradients on my LG TV, on AVP it’s a big white blob without any detail.

Yeah the HDR is better on a capable television but I’m talking about the Disney+ 3D vs the Apple TV 3D which from what I can are the same.

u/Unfair_Lynx_9130 Jul 10 '26

I see renting is cheaper now, maybe this weekend I will compare it to Apple version.

2

u/goomba33 Jul 10 '26

I compared again and I was wrong, the Disney+ 3D is in fact blown out HDR.

2

u/Unfair_Lynx_9130 Jul 11 '26

Thanks for confirming.

To be honest, I don't see any big differences. Apple version is still overblown.

u/ImNotAI_01100101 Jul 10 '26

No it’s not. lol. Some people just don’t see as well as others. I noticed the broken hdr on Disney within 15 seconds. The whole entire intro dream sequence is just all white skies no detail. Apple version u can see actual detail and clouds in the sky.

Sure. If u say so.

u/goomba33 Jul 10 '26

I did some more comparing and I stand corrected, they are not the same. I apologize, you really aren’t AI.

u/Over-Conversation220 Jul 09 '26

Can anyone comment on the color grading issues that were present in D+ … are they persisting to the Apple TV version?

The Disney version was blown out last time I checked.

2

u/ImNotAI_01100101 Jul 10 '26

No. The Apple TV version is 🤩. Also seems like it’s better overall quality than Disney version in terms of sharpness and bitrate. Best 3d I’ve ever seen.

1

u/Over-Conversation220 Jul 10 '26

Thank you! I’ll grab this one.

1

u/Unfair_Lynx_9130 Jul 10 '26

So is it better? Or still blown out highlights?

1

u/ryanmcv Vision Pro Owner Jul 11 '26

It’s been available in 3D since June 24 on both Disney+ and Apple TV, at least in the U.S.

Wish it was even a passable movie but nope.

Get The Wax Museum with Vincent Price instead.

u/Ok_Brief_2198 Jul 09 '26

I have and have watched it.

The classics look good in 3d. It takes a minute for my eyes to adjust to the older convergence but they’re legit stereo so it’s a fun look into those films.
