Hello Chris and Bernard, I just wanted to add one reference to this topic. It concerns the initial work of the American composer Tod Dockstader <https://soundartarchive.net/ARTISTS-details.php?recordID=133>. He created the sound design for animations as *Mr. Magoo* and *Gerald Mc Boing* at the beginning of his career. I don't know if there's an article about it though. I'd like to mention that John Stehura used his music (the theme "Tango" <https://dockstader.bandcamp.com/track/quatermass-tango> from the *Quatermass* LP) for the marvelous film *Cibernetik 5.3*. Best, Albert
