This film was originally made in black-and-white 3-D for the 1939 New York World's Fair, and proved so popular that it was remade in 1940 in color and 3-D.

After the audience is instructed how to use the 3-D glasses they received, demonstrations of three-dimensional films are presented. Various objects move towards the camera, including a ladder being shoved out a window, the slide on a trombone, a woman on a swing, and a thrown baseball.

Through stop motion, a car is built piece-by-piece in 3-D with the added enhancement of music and sound effects. Each part becomes "alive" and has its own distinct characteristics. Originally made for the 1939 World's Fair.

A Pete Smith short that deals with the newly-created 3-D process.
