摘要：Fed by the infinite imaginative power of mankind, reflecting their imagination and fantasies onto the screen, the characters of the films produced in the fields of cinema and animation are becoming a part of our lives more than ever. The success of the films produced depends on to what extent the audience will identify themselves with the events and the characters in the film. Together with the developing technologies, the hyper-realistic human characters created in animation films have been being questioned for their believability and also been associated with the uncanny valley argument. While the reality of the characters created in animation films increases, whether or not the audience accept them as real at the same rate has become a subject of discussion. For that reason, today the animation film producers have been facing a paradox. While this article studies the relation between the uncanny valley and animation, with the sample of The Adventures of Tintin: the Secret of the Unicorn by Steven Spielberg, it emphasizes the fact that increasing reality does not necessarily provide recognition all the times.
