It was the first CGI that had believable human characters. If you go back and look at the first toy story, the humans looked like creepy puppets.

So it was a big hit at the time because it was the fist time a movie had bridged the uncanny valley

    That's not the uncanny valley. The uncanny valley is when you're approaching photo-realism but you're still not quite there, to the point you can tell something's wrong but may have a hard time pointing out exactly what. Maybe skin too smooth or light and shadows aren't playing quite correct, it's usually pretty subtle but just overall makes it feel wrong. Polar express sits right at the edge of it for me.
