I just watched the forties Fleischer Superman cartoons with my kids.
They are visually stunning. My kids like them because they are fast; all action-no filler. Superman doesn't spend his time chatting people up. Limited animation has horrible pacing.
The most suprising thing to me is the smart scene transitions. They will cut between a scene at one location and time to a visually analogous scene at another location and time. Pretty easy to do with animation, but also pretty easy to oversell if the pacing is too slow. They also don't over-explain things.
