I agree: some of the fx prior to CG was amazing and more real-looking than what we see today. That Alien Queen looks tons better today than any other CG film. Sadly, with the advent of CG, the way of doing creatures old-school style has been diminished. Which is sad, since Stan Winston and other FX groups like him were really getting to take things to a new height. :(
@Eldeecue Avatar's problem is in script, not SFX. Understand that Avatar is James Cameron's attempt at Star Wars. It has much of calculated appeal factor, that's why it feels cartoony. Hell, compared to Alien, Aliens is pretty cartoony too.
So would Lion King. The thing with Avatar is that it's a cartoon. I know a _lot_ of work went into it and blah blah blah...but it still has the feel of a cartoon, for better and worse.
So much better than a lot of the CGI you see. So many lazy ass computer effects that are done. Amazing, that you don't hear more about the fakeness of some of it and people just eat it up.

the amount of love, care, and attention to the practical effects is much more than what any CGI counterpart will ever achieve.

This guy Rosengrant needs to stop talking at the same time as the other effects guy. You can't make out what either one is saying.
