...film, oddly, was 1970's The Stewardesses, which made $27 million.) Each time, though, it's done in by the same complaints: poor image quality and headaches and eyestrain from extended viewing. Early reviews of the new models from Sony and Panasonic suggest they've solved the problem. Both use glasses that contain tiny shutters, opening and closing at 120 frames per second, in sync with the image on the screen to give the illusion of depth.

But some of the discrete animal appearances may just be references to contemporary news coverage—the eagles could refer to a hawk problem New York City faced not too long ago, and a polar bear on an ice floe may also have a cultural analogue.
