The stiff animation, the overuse of close-ups, the constant repeated use of stock walks, movements and poses, these were all staples of Filmation Studios, the folks who gave us Fat Albert, The Groovie Ghoulies, the first TV version of The Archies, the non-Columbia Pictures Ghostbusters cartoon (which was itself based on one of their live-action Saturday Morning efforts), et al. The studio that made Hanna-Barbera look like Disney.
