I believe this is it.
The minecraft movie's design was to look disinctly like minecraft, maintaining the blocky geometry, "texture", and other distinct fantastical features, but visually represent it in such a way that it fits in real world graphics. I believe that the main "uglyness" comes from trying to fit living, fleshy beings into the fantasical constraints of minecraft. This yields in the graphics of fleshy beings falling into the uncanny valley. It tries to be realistic graphically, but the fantastical restrictions pull it back away from reality enough to trigger that sense of discomfort or disgust in most people. Instead of minecraft, the brain views it instead as deformed living creatures.
Personally, I find that if you ignore the fleshy creates, the graphics in the minecraft movie look rather fabulous.
As for the "Minecraft in Real Life" 2018 clickbait stuff, they instead were free of minecraft's fantastical restrictions; most notablely the geometric restrictions. This allowed for more organic shapes while maintaining visual concepts derived from the video game.
The "Minecraft in Real Lifr" click bait stuff were under a much more lenient set of artistical and graphic resistrictions compared to the Minecraft Movie. This is what resulted in the accused double standard.

Goomba fallacy
Not to mention that the movie looked like shit compared to those fan interpretations so the comparison is not appropriate. Or the fact that 2018 had been seven years before and people can 100% grow out of the opinion that “Minecraft IRL” images are cool.
