Pixar designed Toy Story to be printed on physical film. The Disney renaissance movies were the same.
Today, it's hard to see them as they were meant to be seen. The versions on streaming and home media aren't quite the same films that ruled the '90s:

Nice animation done by Emery Hawkins from the short, "Holiday for Drumsticks." I love the way Hawkins handles the hillbillies (Maw and Paw) here. Really good subdued and lethargic acting in this cartoon.

This wonderful MYSTERIOUS MOSE short by the good people at Screen Novelties combines so many of the things I love most: puppets, stop-motion, old jazz, and spooky surrealism. I always love watching this around Halloween.

In the '70s, Hayao Miyazaki tried to revive the cartoons of his youth. And he kept mentioning Fleischer's Mr. Bug Goes to Town.
He loved its animation and use of "space," and the physical way its characters navigate its world. We look into the story:
