It's the small imperfections that give things away. Before, it was textures that were too perfectly smooth. These days we can make things look a bit more realistically imperfect.

Now, it's animations that are too perfect, as you've pointed out. Even a perfectly trained athlete or ballet dancer still moves in slightly irregular and imperfect ways.

People gliding over the ground is a huge giveaway as well, when you walk past someone else your feet don't slide to the right while you are still walking straight ahead, your movement changes.
