Red Line. I tend to care much more about stories and characters than production quality (i notice poor quality, but high quality usually doesn't wow me especially). But damn, Red Line. |
lol, that is the most goregous thing 2D animation has ever produced, but I think fluid animation is to be expected from a movie.

Spiderman on Fox, Batman on Fox, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Eek the Cat, Conan the adventurer, Mighty Max, Turtles, Reboot ( canada), Chip and Dales, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Beevis and Butthead, Simpsons ( 80's as well), Tail Spin, etc. That is only a fraction of them from off the top of my head. |
I think a lot of people are letting their nostalgia goggles get the better of them, because only a handful of 90s animation really holds up to scrutiny. I actually rewatched Ducktales recently...and I was surprised with just how disengaged I felt. I mean, the writing and animation is fine for its era...but it is a LONG way from anime's best. Don't even get me started on Spider-man, which I don't think was ever a particularly good series even in its day.
Obviously this is all a matter of taste in the end...but I watched and enjoyed most of those series, and as far as I'm concerned none of them hold up to anime's best. Stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Lupin the 3d, and One Piece. CB in particular is easily one of the most beautiful animated shows of the 90s.
I think only a handful of American shows really hold up to these kinds of anime. If we're talking 90s, I've really only got a handful: The Simpsons, Batman, Batman Beyond and Gargoyles. Though in my opinion, American animation didn't really hit its stride until the 2000s.
