It's not uncanny valley if it looks nothing like the real thing.
If sound and motions are close enough I'd argue that it is still uncanny valley. The way the first robot looked up at the door with it's head cocked.....

Humans have pretty primal responses to certain shapes, sounds and motions of potential predators regardless of detail. If your hair stands on end...that's a pretty good sign.
