Animated shorts today do not carry the same merit as those from the early days… To be honest, I’m unimpressed with many of the animated films and shorts that children are watching. They are influenced by the ease of technology and mimic other writers’ ideas. Nothing is new or fresh anymore. The plots are lacking in imagination and morals, the animation seems lazy at times, and there seems to be no point other than pure juvenile entertainment.
Below I have attached some classic animated shorts I remember still being aired during my childhood. Animated television today also seems to lack in the originality that was showcased in some of the older series. The art of cartooning is its own genre and should be studied by today’s artists and writers.
