TO MAKE THIS WORK:
Cross your eyes until the two images merge into one. Hopefully, your eyes should lock into place and the image should appear three-dimensional. I recommend sitting back from your computer screen, as it's easier on your eyes.
So I was bored! Sue me, I think this is cool.

Skunktronix made a cool 3D glasses version for those who own a pair of the red/green glases.

Wow! That's amazing! It completely worked for me! I found it a bit easier if I put my finger on my nose and focused my eyes on my finger. Then, I would slowly move my finger away until the images crossed and aligned. I've never heard of this type of optical illusion. Nice job! I'm faving this. X3
i hope you realize that the pictures are switched thus creating a backwards inversion. I posted the switched picture here http://www.box.net/shared/j2rpzjo3td
if you really need proof then take a pair of 3d glasses and look at the red/blue anaglyph with the glasses on backwards, then compare and contrast to the picture with the glasses on the correct way. you should see that the background actually looks like it is behind the pikachu :)
actual proof:
first off to prove this point I have to prove which picture corresponds to which eye.
If you take your finger and put it in front of your face and look at a distant object you will notice something. When you only look through your left eye the distant object is more on the left of your finger. If you close your left eye and open your right eye immediately you will see that the distant object jumps more to the right side of your finger.
now the way stereoscopic pictures work is when the eyes cross the left eye only sees the left picture and the right eye only sees the right picture, thus creating the illusion of a three dimensional image.
if you take a look at the left picture right below the ear you will see a part of a blue corner. now since this is the left picture we should see more of this blue corner on this side, but alas if you simply looks at the right picture you will see that the blue corner is indeed larger, thus the images are in fact and undoubtedly switched.
now about you seeing the background "clearly behind the plushie". what is actually happening is a trick of the mind called multistable perception. basically your brain is convinced that the background is behind the plushie, therefore if you view the picture as a single image or even as an inverted stereoscopic picture your brain will actually force the background behind the plushie creating this visual perception phenomena.
