If it doesn't add to the storyline, theme, characters or emotion of a film, what the heck does 3D do? I think you're absolutely right and the Toy Story re-release is a great example.

I had such a great time at the cinema, but it was because the FILMS are so good, the 3D added very little. I'm only realizing now that neither me nor my girlfriend commented on the 3D at all after it was over. I think it's a gimmick, it doesn't add anything to the storyline, it doesn't help to develop theme and character (things that sound and colour can do). Maybe I'm just being negative, but I don't see the benefit of it. I saw Toy Story 1 and 2 in theatres this weekend, obviously they've been re-released in 3D.
