A well-known technique in filmmaking and animation when designing a creature is to vary the size of the creature's eyes. If you want your creature to appear [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute]], give it eyes that are excessively large for its body. If you want your creature to appear [[Attack of the 50
This trope could be a result of one of the many shortcuts the human brain makes when calculating its surroundings: Because most small, harmless animals (possibly including human babies) have large eyes compared to their heads, we are programmed to find that trait cute, while most things that are liable to eat us have small eyes, so we are programmed to run when we see them.
