Yes. Go find some early Hanna-Barbera, such as Huckleberry Hound. It's like watching a slide show. This was low-budget TV animation, the early years.


I find it interesting that cheap animation went from cell-based hand-drawn animation to CGI over the last 20ish years. It used to be that if you saw something that was computer-animated, it was expensive and care was spent on the whole production. Now, you can assume that if you see traditional 2D cell-based animation that it’s more likely to be a prestige project.
