Appreciating the Brushstrokes: Pre-Computer Animation and the Human Touch | Features | Roger Ebert
Briefly

"One era's trash is another era's treasure... I've been thinking about this because of the existence of the nostalgia cable network MeTV Toons."
"The channel has become the default thing for our family to put on... familiar choice to put on programs I watched when I was a kid."
"The more we put these shows on, the more I found myself actually looking at them, actively rather than passively, and appreciating them as examples of handmade popular art."
"This is not a piece that argues that a type of entertainment that was disrespected is actually a work of genius... most of this stuff was considered cheap and forgettable for a reason."
