Geez, I didn't think the CG Yoda looked anything like the puppet Yoda, and, like I've said before, it was because of the eyes. And I find it really weird because I've seen the documentaries when they were recreating Yoda scenes in ESB to test the technology, and the CG Yoda I saw on the screen there actually looked like Yoda! But the one they actually used in the movies looks nothing like him. He doesn't have that Freeborn/Einstein eye area that is so instantly recognizable. Even the puppet from TPM did a better job of getting those eyes than the CG Yoda. And in case you didn't know, most of our emotions and recognizability are in that space of our face, and ILM just totally messed it up, even though I've seen them get it right!
