To be honest I can't even explain how they could go about improoving Toy Story's look to make everything look more real, but obviously that looked plainly fake, and they have improoved it. I'm just not good with words that way. I can't explain how any CG model can look better, but sheesh, can't you accept that some people COULD tell that was CG, and it was just you who couldn't? It's really not insulting, CG determination isn't exactly some sign of high intelligence. Here's something interesting, many people swore they thought that truck near the end of Toy Story was actually filmed. Of course, this was until they actually took a better look, but the point is that worse CG has been confused for reality before.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
