Ok, that is the term for it. I was wondering if anyone studied this. I was seeing things similar, and wasn't sure what it was, particularly in the area of sport games. Movies like the theater release for Final Fantasy for example. I find the missing the mark to be particularly noticeable as you get closer to realism, particularly in the faces. And with videogames, we face something similar, but touching on a different focus, such as immersion factor. With videogames, the "uncanny valley" means the immersion factor gets shattered, rather than emotionally feeling uneasy.
I would also speculate people could have different types of graph shapes. It is also possible people can have their curves change over time, as they get comfortable with technology. I did find "Polar Express" good, except for the waiters on the train, who I found creepy.
