here's some great drawings of betty boop from mysterious mose (1930) by grim natwick
i really like the design of betty in this short. since unlike other characters at the time, betty was a way more stylish looking character which allowed here to have much more rich acting (1/7)
back in 1937, after ub iwerks' brief tenure, bob clampett started work on his first cartoon "it happened all night"
the title was a take off on the screwball classic "it happened one night" but was later changed to "porky's badtime story" at the behest of the hay's code (1/12)
huck magic bumper (1/2)
ed bendict's character designs felt inviting and cute. plus they were stylish and wonderfully drawn
early H-B always felt carefully planned in the backgrounds and layouts even if they were limited animation
the voices were also great too
pie pirates (1958) the first produced cartoon to feature yogi bear and boo boo
a pretty good start for yogi, you can definitely feel the fun in the early H-B cartoons
great layouts, backgrounds, and timing

I agree to an extent. The Mike Lah scenes are a great example of this since his stuff was always more limited even when working for Tex Avery at MGM
i think it's also because scribner was able to draw really solid drawings (like mckimson) and give them such an exaggerated, appealing and clear favour
scribner at avery unit is definitely a good example of his solid drawings
here's the ending to a wild hare (retitled the wild hare in the blue ribbon title) in which he animated
hot take: bob clampett was the most crazy and best cartoon director even more than tex avery and the best looney tunes director
in a clampett cartoon everything is going on: the characters, the timing, the animation basically anything in a clampett cartoon (1/2)
bob clampett tweety is best tweety
those first three cartoons are what i think tweety should: a cute crazed looking bird with a devilish streak
here watch the naked genius at work
a gresome twosome (1946)
i feel like nobody is going to admit this so i'm gonna say it
the golden era of animation (1929-1969) will always be the best era of animation because it was the only time when creators were pretty much able to do WHATEVER THEY WANTED
they were allowed to experiment with gags,
john k doodles out boo boo and a toy
gotta be honest i do dig john's later style especially the crude faces/backgrounds,fast pace timing and animation
