I've only seen "Animalympics" once, fairly recently; it was a show I was thinking of but didn't name when referring to shows with lines adults can appreciate. But, despite furry fan protestation to the contrary, it struck me as pretty firmly in the mold of later Warner Brothers cartoons -- designed to be all-ages entertainment. "Rock & Rule" is unusual in that rather than trying for the "enjoy it on multiple levels" approach, it's just not aimed at children; outside of Japan, Bakshi was the only animator consistently trying to do that. (And that's the only sense in which I think anyone could call him "consistent.") While they're both definitely products of their eras, so to speak, "Animalympics" also struck me as not having aged quite as well as Rock & Rule did.
