It's SquiggleVision!!

Seriously, Bill Plympton is the animator that popularized the warbly line style with a series of hilarious short films (sometime in the late 80s). I wouldn't go so far as to say that he invented it, especially since Walt Disney went to so many lengths to avoid that effect. Walt probably would have considered it sloppy animation.

A similar effect was used on the Home Movies cartoon, long before anything that is on Nickelodeon currently.

Yeah, but "Dr. Catz" was the precursor to "Home Videos" - was made years before, by the same crew, and I think that's when/where they coined the term "SquiggleVision"

"Rhubbarb and Custard" had it first (I think) :teeth:

I believe you're right, it also had a funky theme tune.

Retrace. Usually used in animation sequences during pauses. Gives life to the animation (in this case the drawing) and avoids stillness/death problem. Usually done with at least 3 drawings with a given amount of difference between frames depending of the art direction.
