Later in interviews it turned out that the 3D version was Disney's idea and they approached Burton about it. He suggested the reason for post-production 3D was a combination of time-limitation on the project and the fact so much was CGI anyway (obviously it's only the live-action footage that would be filmed in 3D, CGI can be converted at any point if it's modelled in 3D). From <a href="http://www.gonewiththetwins.com/pages/features/2009/comiccon2009_timburton.php" rel="nofollow">an interview at ComicCon</a>: "Disney came to me and mentioned the fact of Alice in 3D and I felt like the material worked and the medium was a good mixture of elements. It wasn’t shot in 3D, partly because of the time element. We didn’t have five or six years to make it. With what we were doing, this seemed like the right approach and technique to do."

Ho hum, hopefully filmakers will soon realise it's more than just a fad for cheap thrills, stop marketing their newest addition as a "Brand new 3D spectacle" or even stop putting in 3D in the title - Battle for Terra, I'm looking at you! Fingers crossed it will become more a medium and less of a trick... eventually...
