Some of the "Terrytunes" stuff is great,I especially like the manic style of Jim Tyer,you can spot scenes he animated a mile away.
If you watch Hal Seegers "Batfink" cartoon from the 60's (a very underated show) you can tell immediately which episodes he did because the characters continuously go "off model" and the animation is so exaggerated!
I also really appreciate Gene Deitchs work for MGM where he created some very modernistic and beautifully bizzare Tom & Jerry cartoons.
If you've never seen them,it's like they came from another planet!
The music is very spacey and surreal and the characters move in an odd dreamlike fashion.
I learned later they were animated in Prague which probably accounts for some of the weirdness.
Check out the wildy futuristic tv set in this episode!
