I guess it's the LCD (lowest common denominator) effect that I'm seeing in the production of the remakes and maybe the "mass produce, mass market" mentality to get it to the theatres and get some bucks for it.
Alice in Wonderland was not a remake, as it wasn't a copy of another movie. Avatar was also a new creation. The Night Before Christmas was not a remake, it was based on the original book. How to Train your Dragon is an original creation. Clash of the Titans was a remake, and it was not shot for 3D, but it was encoded to 3D in post production which is why it looked lousy.

Of course, 3D is only 1 aspect of the HD/HDMI spec that is coming, such as increased resolution and certain colour specs. I don't think there were any audio changes in the spec, but I could be wrong; just don't remember.
There are no additional audio enhancements with the new HDMI spec.
