    I realize this is a side-effect of having been on television since Ronald Reagan was President, but The Simpsons took a REALLY long time to switch off of cel animation. Barring a select few episodes where they tested digital animation (Season 7’s “Radioactive Man”, Season 12’s “Tennis the Menace”, and Season 14’s “Treehouse of Horror XIII”) they were still doing traditional ink and paint until midway through season 14

      @mrmattimation No kidding? Wild. I've been thinking about looking for watercolor animation... altogether unrelatedly.

        @scribus if you go back and watch season 7, Radioactive Man is visually jarring because it looks more like an episode that would have aired in 2005 or 2006, rather than in 1995. It’s super bizarre.
