I consider 'The Lion King' one of the greatest ever animated films -- but the movie was conceived, scripted and storyboarded as a 2D film; it was directed, animated, cut and composited as a 2D film.
Not a single one of the countless aesthetic decisions made by the hundreds of people who worked on it was made with even the remotest knowledge that the film was going to be computer-converted to 3D seventeen years later.
All of which is to say, I don't watch 2D movies that have been turned into 3D any more than I watch black-and-white movies that have been computer-colorized, widescreen movies that have had their frame edges cut off for television broadcast, or old silent movies that have been re-edited to a faster pace and had Britney Spears dubbed on the soundtrack.
