One of the all time greats, not just for animation but shows in general. It's a marvel of writing and structure, constantly one up itself in terms of it's humor, plotlines, and it's characters. It's formula should have gotten boring, instead it's the best part of it - seeing how the show plays with, deconstructs, reconstructs, and subverts it's own premise episode after episode is part of the fun, but beyond that there is a richness and a surprising three-dimensionality to it's cast. They aren't just one note stereotypes, instead the show manages to give it's entire main cast a ton of depth and likability that makes them all memorable.
It's music is iconic at this point, so no real need to discuss it, but it really is that good, with nearly every song from it's long run being catchy and memorable with clever lyrics and even some emotional heft when the time calls for it. Particularly in it's final seasons, the show began to play with it's own formula while also being more ambitious with the stories it wanted to tell, with it's final episodes being all marvelous. One of Disney's best animated works.
