It's so often that practical effects are just better than CG. Obviously I think one can be used to enhance the other to great effect but instead of touching up the practical in post you just animate whole big ass dogs actors have to pretend to interact with.
Also if cg is bad it's bad. If practical is bad it's usually still fun as hell to watch.
For sure, the CG in Titanic holds up because most people didn't even know it was used. They just touched up things here and there like making a rail shinier and stuff
Oh nice didn't even know that. I always think of Pans Labyrinth as a good combination. Got those really cool practical costumes but touched up to have various magical effects around them.

Fuck they should just use a real dog and rear screen projection, miniatures and forced perspective. Shit would be so cute
Titanic was made in the glorious era when they'd use several special effects and blend them together.
Titanic has a lot of CGI, but there are also miniatures and real sets involved.
Those are real people and that's real water. They knew when not to use CGI. Hell, if they made it today they'd probably use CGI water and it would look like crap.
