The concept of the canny valley suggests that non-humanoid objects which appear almost, but not exactly, like non-real (e.g., illustrated, CGI, etc.) human beings elicit uncanny, or strangely familiar, feelings of eeriness and revulsion in observers.
See, for example, the emoji costumes in the television show, Mr. Robot, in the second episode of the third season.

Get the canny valleymug. A place where you could watch your goat run away for a decade, and where you can buy 100 acres of land with a half eaten bag of Swedish fish and a pack of cinnamon gum. In this town you are an outcast if you don’t have at least 4 goats and a cow (or your grandma). There are enough trees to match fort Nox, you half expect an Indian to come out of the trees to decapitate your pig.

Get the valley parksmug. A super small town in the Bay Area. Where everyone knows everyone. There’s barely any thing to do there, we have one movie theater that only plays one movie. If anyone asks where’s Castro Valley we say it’s near Oakland and San Leandro. The people there are mostly druggies, and people who think their hard. Most people are petty, but some are friendly. It’s one of those towns you pass through and that’s about it.
