So ... no 3D version? ... I hope this isn't a [manufacturer]-exclusive.

The reason there's no 3D Blu-ray is because there's no 3D Rango period

Don't feel too bad, I thought this was 3D also.

If I'm not mistaken, the makers of this film actually bragged a bit about the decision that it would not be in 3D. Sort of an anti-3D statement on their part, or at least an unwillingness to make the image quality compromises it requires.

Bet they are REAL sorry about that decision. They left about $60 million (worldwide) on the table.

Good way to cut off your nose to spite your face.

They look particularly tough when their next movie is in 3d with the next Pirates movie.

Maybe there will be a Rango 3D Blu-Ray, because HighDefDigest lists both a standard Rango and a Rango 3D.

Yeah, on second thought HDD probably got their facts mixed.

There is no announcement for (for example) Toy Story 3 3D either, but I'm pretty sure it will come.

I believe TS3 is a Samsung exclusive, so don't be so sure.

I doubt that, only Dreamworks movies are exclusive (3d) to Samsung. TS3 = Disney, which has released several 3D movies already (ie Tangled) or in the future (Lion King)

Two things here I see that can really mess up a movie making company.

Not doing it in 3D these days.

Or worse, doing it in 2D, pushing it through a process for a 2D to 3D conversion. Those just do not work well at all.

Sending out FAKE 3D and touting it as 3D movie, in my books, should be illegal.

However, Rango is cgi, so the process would involve re-rendering for two discrete views, and the result should be equal to a film shot/rendered in 3D in the first place (compositional considerations aside).

That being said, I don't think they'll bother... not enough people went to see the movie in 2D for them to invest in the extra work!

Rango never was 3D and certainly didn't need it. It's quite honestly the best looking CG animated film ever made. It practically looks 3D, without the glasses. For my money, it's the best looking blu-ray ever. It's really incredible.
