I just can't understand how the cg in Jurassic Park looks so real when it's about 16 years old. By the time Jurassic Park 3 came out, the cg looked fake again.

All cg these days has this shiny, untangible feeling to it, the only exception being Gollum in LOTR which was awesome. In comparison to Gollum, Yoda is a joke.

Edit: MOST cg* Not lumping Transformers in the same category Angel ;)

I mainly mean cg creatures, not robots.

Actually they were going to use stop motion animation. But the result we got was with the TREX. Animatronics mixed with cgi. The head was built on set. They did such a good job mixing textures from the models they used and com positing them on cgi models it was pure genius. They did that when it had never been done before. My kids will believe the dinosaurs are real. And I will give the Will Ferrel answer. They got real dinosaurs to make it.
