Animation production values have been falling since the 50s.
I'm nostalgic for the cartoons of my youth but I wouldn't seriously argue that the era I feel nostalgia for is objectively better than the one you feel for.
The clip you showed is hardly better than any madcap scene from Loony Tunes. The humour is hardly unique to the characters, who are not particularly unique or memorable.
Warner and Disney make money on cartoon merch because there's a massive popular demand for it. Catscratch doesn't sell any toys because there isn't.
Commercial failure is not an indicator of superior quality.
