If you're refering to background details, I agree with you. Many were drawn frame by frame, by a whole slew of animators. The funny thing is that today's Computer Aided Design programs still don't measure up imo.

If you ever saw the original Bugs Bunny, you would really laugh at his appearance. Because he was short and fat, and ugly compared to his enhance appearance of the 60s and 70s.

TBS used to show the old cartoons from the 50s, I was really surprised by the Bugs Bunny's original image.

It is odd how computers do it more fake.

I prefer the 50s and 60s TV cartoons, even Scooby and Josie.

Interestingly, just like today, many small studios in New York and Hollywood and overseas created cartoons. The many KIng Features shorts to come out of the company were done worldwide. Not only Paramount/Famous continued the series (during WHICH time no one could remeber, so few could, whose property Bluto was, thus the name change to "Brutus"), and Bob Clampett created his classic BEANY AND CECIL, Jay Ward, Hanna-Barbera (before they explanded) and Leonardo_TTV created many series of cartoons, and there was the good original Clokey Gumby.


I persoanllylike the writing back then, the voicing (by radio and motion pciture and Broadway character actors), and the design.

Such artists as Willie Ito (any relation to Lance), Dan Gordon, Jules Engel, and others worked on these series as well. Jay Ward (which I WIDELEY prefer to the siimpsons maybe a Rocky and Bullwinkle vs Simpsons-whose type of sophistication do YOU prefer thread would be in order here) had SPike Jones's musicians, notbaly Joe Siracusa on board, - Joe contributed all those sound effects..

Speaking of SFX, I've always loved the sound effects on those older Tv cartoon cartoons. It's interesting how we closely connect these with Hanna-Barbera yet other studios immediately or evenb before picked up those effects (Jack Kinney's GOOFY work for Disney back in the 40s and 50s, as an example here), yet visually and artiscially the studios were different from each other.

I loved the voice work on these 50s-60s TV cartoons, not just Blanc, Daws, and the H-B and Jay Ward and Warneerr voices but Total TV's Wally Cox, (MR.PEEPERS0, Allan Swift, George S.Irving, and Jackson Beck, to name just a few plus Don Adams before he became Maxwell Smart and Inspector Gadet, as Teennesee Tuxedo, and also in mostly various indies, the voices of Dikc Belas, Charles Lane, Frank Nelson and other "one-voice" specialist performers.

The music in the earlier shorts, on TV toons largely from assported stock music companies, was impeccable.

I noted references to adult westerns,, Ben Casey, Dr.Kildare, and Ed Sullivan and other then current shows onn those cartoons, and therefore even TOP CAT and other Hanna-Barbera shows were every bit as adult as the SIMPSONS or MGM or WB.
