Hair on your computer's video card is nothing like the realistic hair that takes hours to render to look remotely realistic. That's just simply wrong. The hair on these CG features casts shadows on itself, have different thicknesses and properties, and even take time to PRE-render a realistic movement simulation. This isn't about eye-of-the-beholder, these characters are artistic, but look real. No, the lion doesn't look like a real lion, but the characters look like they exist in real life. As if somone made a living, breathing, animated, piece of art, and filmed it. The characters have hair on them, some just have short hair, but the hair that gets rendered gives an amazing overall accurate look of a fuzzy animal.
I recommend you find a digital theater and watch Madagascar.
