There is nothing like watching an old TV show or commercial to show you just how far we've moved from our past. It's particularly interesting to me what details are considered acceptable back then but are not now, and vice versa. This short cartoon definitely features some racial stereotypes, but not unlike others that I've seen from that era.
But that aside, there is one characteristic of this particular time period's art that I think is awesome. Look at the creativity in the animation. Like, when the hero pulls out the plane's front propellar, it's made to look like the plane lost its dentures. And the spikes on the giant lizard/dinosaur's back turning into a chainsaw of sorts. Epic stuff. I don't really watch cartoons nowadays, but I'm pretty sure that you don't see that anymore!
