Toy Story 1&2 in 3D. Why?

I just got back from watching Toy Story 1&2 in 3D with Lynda and the boys. I can't figure out why.

It's not like there was any change in the movie that made the 3D particularly awesome. They were the same old movies (which I like btw) but with a little more depth of vision, but often I could hardly even tell that. It was a disappointment. Just being disappointed I can take, but to have to be disappointed looking goofy with those Clark Kent glasses on - well that's going overboard.

It was great being with the family - having the boys complain about waiting in line, having to tell them to shush every 3 minutes, having to take Ethan to the bathroom every 10 - well that's what makes family movie nights worthwhile. But I'd rather have done it seeing something I haven't seen before - like this "Cloudy with Meatballs" movie. Sure, the title makes the movie sound silly - I here it's pretty good actually - but at least I could have fun making fun of it if it isn't.

Mind you - had I been to the "Meatballs" movie with the boys, I would have still had to leave every 10 minutes for the washroom, and would not have been able to see enough to make fun of it. So, it's just as well we went to Toy Story 1&2 in 3D.

They didn't have to do it though - make Toy Story 1&2 in 3D. I still would have gone to see Toy Story 3 in 3D if they hadn't. Who wouldn't? I just hope that, this time, the 3D effects will be worth it.
