Because you only have to build the model once, set the lights,
then animate motion to get all of the cool effects. You can
do a lot with 2D, but you have to understand more to get effects
that come about serendipitously in 3D. 3D can have audio that
does what you can't do without a lot of experience in 2D. IOW,
it all comes down to the fact that the screen is moreorless flat
regardless, but a 3D set of objects are a lot more interesting,
and easier to make more of at less cost. Cameras, viewpoints,
multiple lighting sources, etc. are a slam dunk to work with
in 3D.
