Did Avatar avoid the Uncanny Valley?

With all of these 3D movies bombarding us, it’s no wonder that animated humans are starting to freak us out a bit. It’s well known that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers. Called the Uncanny Valley, the “valley” in question is a dip in a proposed graph of the positivity of human reaction as a function of a creatures lifelikeness. At least the Navi were blue in Avatar, but when will our technology allow us to clear this valley?

Now you know why dolls and robots freak you out...
