While we're on the subject, while Disney was the first major western studio to make the permanent switch to digital ink-and-paint, the technique was actually pioneered by Hanna-Barbera as a cost-cutting measure. It was developed between 1979 and 1983 by a computer scientist who worked in a laboratory funded by Hanna-Barbera, and it was at this same laboratory that computer-aided motion tweening (which was later a staple of Flash animation) was developed. All in the name of making cheaper Scooby Doo specials.
