Have you ever listened to the commentary on Attack of the Clones? I swear the animators spend half the movie patting themselves on the back over their Yoda. I mean, they don't just explain how things work and are naturally proud, it's like, "See that eye movement that Yoda did there? Oh, that was so cool! I loved that! We couldn't do that with the puppet! He is so amazing!" It made me want to wretch after 15 continuous minutes of it.
