Does the uncanny valley bother you?

Uncanny valley, from my understanding with computer graphics, isn't supposed to be scary, necessarily. It just means it's super human looking but just off enough to look odd or wrong. Like, for example. The humans in Tangled are stylized and aren't supposed to look photorealistic, but the humans in the polar express are much closer to photorealism, but the slight amount they're off makes them unbelievable. It's the same thing that makes terrible self portraits a little bit creepy while cartoony caricatures look "right". Sometimes things in uncanny valley are creepy, while others are just mildly bothersome. The only constant is that your head says that it looks "wrong".
