movies using practical effects, like jurassic park, are all designed by hand and controlled by the filmmakers. Animatronics, puppets, and stop motion was used to animate creatures in older films. Now CGI is used more than practical effects and people argue which is better. Another argument is that CGI is putting practical effects out of business. Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis from amalgamated dynamics says that the both make a good team though, CGI and practical effects. 2 of the best practical effects artists, Rick Baker and Tom Savini aren't against CGI at all either. Baker says CGI is only as great as the artist behind it. But great CGI doesn't make a great movie. Savini says he likes is because you can pretty much make anything you want to in the script. So there is a place for both CGI and practical effects, they're both great in their own ways.
I prefer practical effects to CGI but I do like them both. I just like the work that goes into practical effects, everything you made yourself. They probably felt really satisfied after making a giant walking dinosaur look real and making the little kids question if they really were extinct. And they don't all look terrible, in the past they used whatever they had to make fictional creatures and gruesome makeup. So they put a lot of effort into those things and thats what I really admire.
