The Aristocats is one of my favorite animated films. It gets me excited when a character turns their head and all the ink and pencil guide lines show through the color. The fluid and kind of messy images make the art seem real- human, not without flaws; and thus, a little more alive. I think my affection for this style is what encourages my art to be as messy as it is. I like to leave the guide lines in- all the extra lines make it feel so much more..approachable than something so perfect that it's mechanic. I've been told "you should clean up the line art" and so, from time to time, on a new layer in photoshop I trace over the original image excluding all the progress lines... and almost always end up deleting it, find it lacking somehow.
Aristocats demonstrates this throughout the whole movie. I should be aware that the animation is a million little drawings! Art shouldnt pretend not to be art. especially, ESPECIALLY cartoons.

I totally agree with you! I LOVE the older animations as well as some anime, mainly because they look like they were so hard to create... the animators put LOTS of time and effort into them. I like those styles of animation and art.
