That's also where animatronics tend to look more fake, even when in the hands of competant animatronic operators, but you're right about the degree of hokiness being directly proportional to the skill of the puppeteer.

As far as Jaws is concerned, the few mid-range shots of the shark lurching up on the boat, etc., look pretty fake to me. The best stuff is always the brief glimpses of a fin, a shadow, surface agitation or those moving-in-for-the-kill shots taken from the shark's perspective.
