That's All, Folks? Justin Peters, "Toon In: The Best TV Happens When No One Is Looking," Washington Monthly, June 2004 (washingtonmonthly.com)
During the 1930s and 1940s, Americans enjoyed what many consider a golden age of hand-drawn animation. Animators for Disney, Warner Brothers, and a handful of other studios produced gorgeous, witty, hand-drawn cartoons that transfixed the audience's attention before feature films. The growth of television in the 1950s led to animation's long, slow decline. Looking to cut costs, please parents, and avoid offending anyone, studios churned out bland, boring, poorly drawn cartoons. While a few such as "The Flintstones" and "Scooby Doo" displayed a modicum of wit, most were utterly forget table. By the 1980s, half-hour toy commercials like "He-Man" and "G.I. Joe" dominated the airwaves.
