Why do 60s cartoons have limited animation and drawings looking like they were made by children?

Because that’s how you got animation to work on 4:3 television screens compared to theaters.

Televised animation was still on its training wheels back then and had significantly less funding than theatrical animation.

They started making cartoons for TV, which were mass-produced and cheaply made.
Brandon Young
I agree but that makes up the charm for it. It was like the 2000s of the 20th century cartoon era
Daniel White
Yup. They had to use shortcuts. Disney was still using theatrical-tier animation in the Disneyland TV series but that didn't last long

Hanna-Barbera killed western animation in the 60s
CalArts killed western animation in the 2010s
history repeats

Hanna Barbera was fine in the 60s. You may not like them but you could tell that the people behind it were passionate with making stuff for so little with the limited technology at the time. An episode cost about $3000 to make, which is about $27,000 now, which would be unheard-of for a tv show budget there days. To compare, Family Guy episode costs about $1 Million to make and the visuals arent nearly as interesting or appealing as the stuff from the 60s. Things didn't become soulless until the 70s.

Yeah and what is the aspect ratio for the theater anyways
Jayden Jones
movie theaters were able to get studios to stop forcing them to buy cartoons with the actual films they wanted
budgets plummeted

Idk why when the dark ages of american animation from the 60s thru 80s is somehow the peak era of eastern european animation?

What's interesting is that Hanna Barbera used Ed Benedict's character designs like because they thought it would read better on small TVs in the late 50s, unlike more detailed characters like Tom and Jerry (though even they had been simplified as well by the end of their theatrical run).

how is it that it spent 17 years on the air but only made 52 episodes?

I wonder if Peter Potamus got actual wife

Kinda like how flash is used for shortcuts. Which I have that software in my computer.

Most WB cartoons were made in 1.37:1, aka academy ratio. This is very slightly wider than 4:3. (aka 1.33:1) Starting in the mid-'50s they matted them to wider ratios like 1.75:1 in the theater, but all the negatives were still the same ratio.
WB didn't do this, but in the '50s some other studios like Disney, MGM, UPA and Terrytoons also made cartoons in ~2.40:1 or wider, which is known as CinemaScope.
