Cardboard box

A dull and boring person who lacks an imaginative spark. A person who is not scintillated by life and breaks no rules. He dresses plainly, speaks calmly and is dependable and faithful. He does not have any hobbies or any interests other than earning his bread and butter. He is common, found easily and pleased quickly.

"Oh! Tom is such a cardboard box. He completely lacks intuition, is a bore to communicate with as he has no fresh ideas of his own and peddles out mundane and dull facts all the time."

Cardboarding

The verb to describe an effect (generally negative) that results from the conversion of a 2D film in to a 3D, whereby aspects of the scene whilst having an overall sense of depth, appear more like cardboard cut-outs rather that fully depthed objects.
The effect is created by the way the rotascope 'slices' the image in to its respective 3D elements, finer slices create more depth.

I did enjoy Burton's Alice movie, but at times the cardboarding was distracting.
