Evolution has given us a very powerful ability to deduce emotional states of our fellow human beings from very subtle facial expressions, this is important because it gives us clues about the likely behavior of other people. If it's obviously a cartoon then we don't even try to use this ability and just sit back and enjoy the show, but if it is a very very good rendering then we do start to use this ability, but if it's not perfect then the facial cues we read don't entirely make sense to us and are contradictory, real people don't move their face like that, at least not sane ones. We can't figure out what's going on in their head like we usually can so they seem creepy and a bit frightening. That's OK if you're trying to animate a Jack the Ripper type character but otherwise it's a problem.
