Related note, did anyone notice how much cartoon quality took a nosedive in the 1960s?
I mean look at this stuff from the 40s.

Keep in mind that show had 2-3 animators.

^If you haven't seen it, it's literally the laziest cartoon ever made. For example, they have 5 two-second scenes of spidey swinging around and just use those the enitre show. Even Hanna-Barbera was extremely lazy, with static bodies and just the mouth moving most of the time. Not to mention the plots on the 5 million shows were the SAME DANG THING duighduyguadsd
Pretty sure it was NINE animators I saw on the credits on Spidey67. What the heck?
Even stuff like the 1950s Popeye had pretty good animation. The 30s Popeye was just awe-inspiring. Seriously, they had 2 guys doing the whole thing and they were doing stuff like 3D backround changes.
