I still have not been terribly productive, so here, watch this clip from Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure.
This film, released in 1977, is extremely weird and did not do so hot at the box office, but it's widely known among cartoon nerds for its gorgeous animation. I mean, watch that movement; it's pure eye candy. A ton of brilliant Golden Age animators worked on it, including Fleischer/Disney animator Grim Natwick, Disney animator Art Babbit, and others who had worked at Disney, Warner and more during the time when the best hand-drawn animation the world has ever seen was being produced.
Even at their worst, these guys are a hard act to follow. This stuff is amazing.
