Apparently the creature costumes in The Hobbit looked cheap in 48fps according to behind the scenes docs. No idea how true that is.
3D was also mentioned as the reason all the physical scale model work (That everyone appluaded in LOTR) was scraped too.
If shooting 3D and 48fps makes everything look like a t*rd sandwich, then maybe that was the universe's message to PJ that he should stick to 24fps 2D.
