Animated overkill

Back in the days when Lorne Greene pitched Alpo on black and white TV, it was also a treat to see an animated family movie. This was the era of Snow White and Jungle Book. Today there is a new animated kid-aimed-movie released every 19 minutes. Yes, in the time it takes a dog to microwave popcorn for the kennel, new characters like Zackers and Twisty come to life. But with every advancement in animation, quality suffers publicly, like a fallen politician's wife.  Except for the occasional brilliance of an "Up" its better to stay in the doghouse and avoid the film-house when it comes to the average animated non-classic.
