40s/50s. No more black and white bopping characters, before the cheaper limited animations of the 60s. Bugs bunny and Tom and Jerry would stretch, transform and push what the medium could do with huge expressiveness and inventiveness.
Ooh, I was thinking of some more modern stuff, but that’s a really good call-out. You can still see a lot of influences from that era today, not to mention that they’re still enjoyed today.
The newer Mickey Mouse series felt like a modernized take on that era. If you haven’t watched it I would give it a shot. The country-based episodes are all really well done and show how little dialouge is needed to tell interesting and compelling stories.
I was personally surprised myself, as generally Looney Tunes is considered superior to mickey mouse (in regards to older animation). However the country focused ones are worth giving a shot (especially Tokyo, Paris, and the Indian one [can’t remember which city]). If you like those, then you might like the rest.

I’d be interested in seeing similar modern takes on that era, but not Disney and certainly not Mickey.
