It's funny to think that Terrytoons were considered the "cheap" cartoons back in the day.
These are mostly fully animated and chock full of cartoon goodness.
I could tell, even when I was a kid that they were produced kinda hastily but there was something unique and weird about them that you couldn't get in any other cartoons.
There was even a period of "quality" Terrytoons in the mid forties with higher production values.In any case, even the most slapdash Terrytoons seem towering heights of creativity and skill compared to mainstream cartoons I see on TV today.
Here's a great one, full of crazy Jim Tyer animation:
