I think that the films would have to be very good to justify that kind of money. Apart from Pixar, I can’t think of any other producers/directors who might tempt me.

By breaking the ‘4th wall’ the ‘suspension of disbelief’ is disrupted. I suppose if we get used to the 3rd dimension then this wouldn’t happen and maybe 3D can be used dramatically; of course, perspective in 2D gives us 3D anyway. The novelty of feeling like you’re about to get your eye poked out lasts only about five minutes anyway.

I could marvel at the stop motion animation of Coraline in 3D but it was marvelous anyway. The CGI of Monsters left me pretty cold; but CGI is increasingly doing that to me anyway.

Box office suggests, however, that the novelty is not wearing off with audiences though.
