Movies Unlimited shows a pre-order listing for The Three Stooges Collection Vol. 7 - 1952-1954, November 10, 2009.

This should be considered tentative information, until official information is confirmed by Sony.

November 10th is the release date for this Shemp collection. But it is up in the air whether the two 3D shorts will actually be in 3D.

ClassicFlix has the first look at the box art, and reports that SPOOKS! and PARDON MY BACKFIRE will be presented in 3-D, with a pair of glasses included.

THE THREE STOOGES COLLECTION Volume Seven: 1952 - 1954

22 Digitally Remastered Shorts, Arranged Chronologically and Packaged in a Two-Disc DVD Set

Featuring 9 shorts in their widescreen DVD debut, plus Two 3D Shorts with 3D Glasses!

AVAILABLE ON DVD November 10

CULVER CITY, CALIF. (August 31, 2009) – America's craziest trio of buffoons are back again when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment brings The Three Stooges Collection Volume Seven: 1952-1954 to DVD on November 10. This collection features 22 digitally remastered shorts that continue the Stooges legacy with the return of the original Stooge, Shemp. Included in this volume are such classics as the Stooges' 3D shorts: Spooks and Pardon my Backfire, presented for the first time in both 3D and 2D, as well as Shot in the Frontier, a parody of the classic film High Noon. This compilation also marks the first time many of the shorts will be available in widescreen versions since their original theatrical presentations. The Three Stooges Collection Volume Seven: 1952-1954 is packaged in a two disc set and includes 3D glasses and will be available for $24.96 SLP.

The Three Stooges, one of the most influential screen comedy teams of the 20th century, inspired generations of comics that succeeded them. Following their start in vaudeville, the trio began their film career in the early 1930s, reached their slapstick peak at Columbia Pictures (1934-1957) and lasted as a team well into the 1950s. After their initial retirement, they were rediscovered by an enthusiastic new generation through the medium of television, surpassing their contemporaries in lasting popularity. Volume Seven continues Sony Pictures Home Entertainment's long-running tribute to the comedic mastery of the Stooges by tracing the evolution and development of their craft in films in progressive order.

Looked at a few of these this week. It's disconcerting, I have to tell ya, to see Three Stooges shorts in widescreen! Talk about "like seeing 'em for the first time."

This set comes with only two pairs of 3-D glasses (what's up with THAT? There were THREE Stooges!) which is chintzy. So I ordered a plethora of additional pairs, which you cannot do through Sony (that I know of). I ordered them from 3DStereo.com, and if you do that, order the ones for the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth" because you do NOT want red/green glasses; these are pink/green glasses. Don't ask me why.

Anyway, the 3D effects looked much better than I expected, particularly on "Pardon My Backfire" (as opposed to "Spooks"). It's more "depth" than "jumping out at the screen" though, but my FNF crowd is going to enjoy it, I tells ya.

What with the silent Our Gang films and the short subjects (Benchley at last!) that Warners has released, I could do FNF with nothing more than shorts festivals every week. If I wanted.
