After Effects, Motion3, Kinemac, and probably most 3D animation software can do it. Would be hard to say which software can do it the fastest though. Even this is good:

it's a 'simple' camera fly thru of 2D images in 3D space....simple, but time consuming to setup & composite.
I think the cheapest software that can achieve this effectively is Motion3 now.

This effect can be easily achieved with adobe photoshop and after effects.

1) mask out the photograph of characters in photoshop and put them in different layers and save it as a photoshop file
2) bring the photoshop file into After Effects as a composition.
2a) turn on 3D option for all the layers
3) Distribute all the layers in different Z-space to create a sense of depth.
4) Create a camera.
5) Animate the camera in Z-space.
6) Add lighting, depth of field on camera and motion blur to taste. Viola!

Just Google After Effects 2d in 3d space, there are many video tutorial on this effect.

cheers!
