We all know about the Golden Age of animation, the time of Looney Tunes and MGM. But, when exactly DID the Golden Age begin, and when did it end?

Well, if you're talking about when studios changed gears to budget/low quality animation - Hannah Barbara really took the heart of the business in the 70s with its recycled frames and rush jobs.

Are you saying Hannah Barbara isn't good?

^Good art? Sometimes.
Good writing? Outside of Scooby-Doo, sure.
Good voice acting? Of course.
Good animation? Absolutely NOT.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

yeah a show can be good and have terrible animation

just like a show can be awful with gorgeous animation

so in short, define "good'. >_>
