I don't know when it was officially decided that children's animation should be ugly and stupid, but it was very much the case even in my own childhood.
It's difficult to think of anything attractive at all besides Bruce Timm's Batman which was itself a mixed bag.
I'm excluding anime here, obviously.
Comparing the insipid and degenerated '80s and '90s to the creativity, talent, and care that was put into making children's cartoons in the '60s and '70s ought to get one asking questions.

What is there to even be said about something without a single flaw?
Communication achieved through animation itself:
Wikipedia wrote:The first episode of the cartoon was narrated, but Miler wanted the cartoon to be understood in every country of the world, so he decided to use his daughters as voice actors, reducing the speech to short non-figurative exclamations in order to express the mole's feelings and world perception. Miler's daughters also became the bottleneck of the creation process as they were the ones who got to see the whole film first, thus Miler was able to decide whether the message of the movie was able to reach children or not.
Episodes produced from the '80s on aren't poor quality, but Peak Mole is up to around '75.
I recommend a legal acquisition, as the quality of the episodes on YouTube isn't great.
