Any movie worth its red and blue specs is being released in 3-D these days. Avatar's colossal box office proved once and for all that audiences are hungry for the immersive experience.

Disney has been whetting appetites by releasing Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in limited 3-D runs as a taster for things to come.

But TS3 is the first of the bunch to have been made with 3-D in mind.

Up was Pixar's first 3-D release, and it proved they're as adept as James Cameron with the technology.

And thematically it works. Coraline proved how beautiful dolls could look in 3-D, so it should be perfect for capturing TS3's toy's-eye-view of the world.

Despite the dazzling array of technology, we trust Pixar to use the 3-D in service of the story, and not vice versa.

Threequel Fail: Jaws 3-D.

The cinema release of the killer-fish sequel used 3-D sequences to lure audiences, but couldn't hide the fact that setting the movie at SeaWorld provoked more laughs than it did screams. And the tagline ('The third dimension is terror') was equally tittersome.
