It seems that nobody reads previous posters.

I think that it's much more useful to compare fun silly USA shows like Adventure Time or Gumball to these series than to serious action shounen titles, which are usually trying to do something totally different than your Woosers or Gravity Fallses are. |
From recent examples I can add Chi's sweet home and not even mention various 80s kid shows.

Studio Ghibli anime, Akira, GITS 1995 and maybe Hosoda stuff seem to be the only anime, which gets it right to a level, but I expect no less of Ghibli, since it's obvious they are heavily influenced by Disney.

What I really meant is that the timing was too even. I don't see how Ghibli is any heavier influenced by Disney than any other anime studio. Ghibli movies also lack lip synch and they aren't always animated on ones or even twos. Even though Miyazaki has recommended The Old Mill for his animation for reference as far as effects animation goes, he has also spoken against heavy use of live-action reference, which Disney used especially for human characters.

I'm not expert but I'd recommend Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist and Roman Kachanov's Cheburashka shorts and The Mystery of the Third Planet feature. |
Thanks for the recommendations.

I would point you to recent action 'toons like Motorcity (my favorite!), Tron: Uprising, Green Lantern The Animated Series and Sym-Bionic Titan... but pretty much all of them were cancelled! Nooo! ;~; I guess audiences here just weren't ready for all that adrenaline. |
What about Avatar: The Last Airbender?
