The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
To be fair, all of the Spy Kids look horrendous.

Watch Xmen Last Stand on blu ray. It's practically insulting.

With a number of exceptions that you can count on one had, pretty much any CGI from the first part of the 90s looks pretty terrible now.
Hell, even the late 90s/early 2000s Pixar stuff is starting to look a bit rough when put against modern computer animation. My 2 year old is obsessed with Finding Nemo this month, and the lower quality copy-paste fish models for the "extras" really stand out.

The problem with this is that the monkeys never looked VERY GOOD to begin.
Wich is why my vote is the first dinossaur you see in Jurassic Park !
While it is not "DEAR GOD this is some ugly cgi", going from "HOLY SHIT THEY BOUGH DINOSSAURS TO LIFE ?" to "ah this is good level tv cgi" is a pretty poor aging, specialy compared to the T-Rex and car scene

Tron is so primitive that it's amazing.
So this means that it aged ok. It was bad then it is bad now =P

Well, I don't have a definite answer, but the other day I noticed that CGI Legolas jumping off of the cave troll looks absolutely horrendous now.
First Harry Potter looked horrible when it came out. Especially compared to Fellowship which released a month after.
This looked woeful even on release

The CG effects in the 90's Spawn movie look so awful.
I completely forgot about this. My friend and I always said the words "SPECIAL EFFECT" should be on screen and blinking during this scene.

I think they only had a few months to do the cgi for the film. But still, it's awful.

You thought that was bad?

I've noticed this too recently - Pixar's early stuff looks pretty bad nowdays.
I remember helping someone out that had a shirt from that production company.
"It looks so real you won't be able to tell."
It was obvious is most scenes. -_-

Ghostbusters, when Dana open's her fridge... looks so fake =)
the rest of the movie is great!

I cringed when I saw this.
It was even worse in the theater. I believe they cleaned it up a bit for home video. It still looks like shit, but in the theater it looked like an animatic. Release date just caught up to them.

What's that rat monkey gollum looking thing from Lost in Space

Well if we are going that far back there's a lot to choose from. The Superman movies probably have some stuff that's aged terribly
Like the prison that Zod gets locked in

Even when they updated the scene in the recent special editions Jabba still looked horrible. Actually, nearly every CG additions in the SEs look hilariously out of place, particularly when they focus on any of the CG creatures.
Subtlety and CG is a grand thing, George Lucas.
