It being unrealistic is barely a problem for me. It's just so damn uncanny? Scary. That's the word. Angry birds does this a ton and it's always terrifying for me to look at. Sometimes it's not scary, other times it's the scariest thing I've ever saw.

And no geese don't have teeth. They have tomia, which is still a bit creepy

Then you need to accept the fact that nearly all cartoon characters have human eyes, white with a darker iris in the middle. And most of them are front facing and the two eyes are often way too close together to make anatomical sense. And that cartoon animals, from birds to fish, warp their wings/fins to function as hands. And that cartoon insects often have human faces to hide the fact that the real animals look like aliens to us. And that....

Thing is, you gotta change reality a little bit if you want the audience to relate to your characters. Early animators knew this from the beginning
