Without 3-d pussy it's just a fad, no insult intended. Deep close ups of spread vaginas on the big screen is what I want, and I want it soon. Eh, it isn’t a real movement until there’s porn of it.

However, our brains use a whole bag of tricks to determine the 3D structure of a scene outside the "it's going to whack me in the face" range. One of these is to take advantage of the eye's limited DoF to get a hint about what lies close to the focal plane. Video with excessive DoF (or unusual bokeh) messes with that trick and hence produces a subtle sense of unreality... after all, what you are watching really is just on a flat background 20-or-so feet away. This can, of course, be used for good or evil.

OK you are right, but the Neil Gaiman book is incredibly multi-dimensional to begin with. Interestingly, I just read it two weeks ago for the first time, and I have to say that I can hardly think of a better basis for 3D animation. “Good stuff, based on the Neil Gaiman book, but I bet it’s the 3-D that makes the film great.”
