Film was a new medium, and animation especially is a vessel to channel the abnormal and unconventional. Actually, the early 30's is when animation started becoming a little less bizarre. Pure weirdness is more of a 20's and before thing. I'd say around 1933/4-ish is when many of the absurdities became more refined. The one you posted is remembered fondly likely because it exists in the weird transition period where things are the right level of intense.

The Jewish cabal behind Hollywood is literally satanic

This is the first explanation in this thread that I believe.

satan is an idea that drunks use to blame their problems on something else without taking responsibility for their own actions

Hard drugs were unregulated.

It wasn't regulated until a law was passed stating what and what not to show on a cartoon

fuck yeh, minnie the moocher. fleischer toons are kino.

Fleischer cartoons where intentionally made surreal and controversial

that's why when the Hays Code came in everything but Popeye and the Superman cartoon fell off.

Also there's just the fact most of the earlier ones are basically animated music videos

hence silly symphonies, marie melodies, looney tunes, etc.

No, that's not what I'm talking about. Old Popeye and Superman cartoons were weird in the same way, as was the popular music and the way people talked in movies. It all has a creepy otherworldly feel to it, like I can't even relate to people from that era as human beings.

Hollywood in that era was still heavily influenced by stage actors.
