American cartoons and animators for that matter (specifically American, Europe doesn't really have this problem, such as the French) simply don't have the proper education to reach what was considered the golden age of animation during the mid 1900s. In fact we've never truly reached it, but came close.
Still, you do have parts of Europe that create astounding animations to the quality of a high budget movie anime.
The crazy thing is the skill does exist in America, but only as freelancers and indie animators, because art college is a scam and anyone worth their salt was self taught.
Hell you even have Americans making key animations for studios like Mappa.
