Bruce Timm, for all else that could be said of him, also cared a lot about the aesthetic and mood created by his work, which is why his Batman The Animated Series stood out in that same era as Ren and Stimpy.

A recent series, meaning about a decade ago, that stepped up its animation game, ironically, was the Scooby Doo adaptation from 2010, Mystery Incorporated. It updated the technique of the animation as well as creating an interesting storyline for the kids and the dog to follow. Still semi-woke trash on several levels, but they at least still gave a damn about art and style at that point.
