Unlike movies such as the new "Alice in Wonderland", Toy Story 3 didn't use the 3D technology to simply show off the abilities of the filmmakers, but to improve the look of the film itself. In Alice in Wonderland, a random butterfly with no connection to the plot would occasionally fly through the center of a scene, distracting the audience and holding no value in the plot whatsoever. Honestly I thought this was a distracting waste of animator time.
In Toy Story 3, instead of using the 3D technology for random "pop-out" moments, it is used to add depth to the scenes.
Standing in the preschool playroom, the depth of the scene was amazing, and I remember clearly thinking in the theatre, "Now this is how 3D technology should be used". It didn't distract from the plot, if anything it made it more visually stimulating to focus on the movie in front of you, and not the other people in the theatre.
