Did you capture that from an avi with some new fangled wonkalicious codec like Xvid? If so, that's where it's from.

No, I got it from Windows Media Player. It's like that on my DVD Player too.

I'd say it's just a natural occurance. The thing with animation is that it's essentially a buncha images strung together flipbook style*. The images don't always transition 100% smoothly from each frame to the next (this is specially true in older cartoons where timing is less precise). While paused, try skipping ahead one frame at a time until the picture is nice and clear (should only hafta scroll thru a coupla frames). Hope this helps some.
Alternatly, try adjusting the playback speed. (if you notice problems with the voices/sound fx too, speed is probly your issue here)
*yes, I know there is LOADS more depth to animation than that. I am trying to keep it simple tho.

Thanks

I've noticed this a lot in Disney films as well. But yeah, it's a technique animators use to make the animation look more fluid by blending frames.

It has nothig to do with the animation at all, but how the TV interprets the broadcast or cable signal. What you're seeing is the side effect of interlacing, or having the TV only draw on every other line and alternating every time it refreshes. The benefit is only half the data has to be transmitted than if the TV had to draw every line every time, the downside you can see terrible ghosting, the effect much more pronounced in animation as compared to live action. You'd need a remastered edition of the cartoon on a DVD that's been coded for progressive video and a modern enough TV to support the signal to avoid the effect.
