The Looney Tunes (& Merry Melodies) cartoons (now owned by Warner Bros.) have numerous instances of a trolly car bursting through the wall into a person's living room ("...and I suppose you don't believe that I was run down by a streetcar!").
To do this same trick with computer effects doesn't necessarily make it more convincing, it is just "accepted" as the modern visual "language" for that act.
I prefer stop motion animation my self. No, it does not look realistic, it looks "fantastical", but then could any of Ray Harryhausen's creations every be believed? Ever see an Ymir walking down the street? People's chief complaint about stop motion is that there are no motion blur lines. Computer editing could correct this, but few studios want to hire both effects teams for a single scene (the costs would balloon the budget).
