Golden-age Loony Toons is amazing because of its ontological malleability when it comes to the laws of physics.
A character will be squashed flat by an anvil and then roll around like a coin before popping back as though they're a balloon filling with air.
physical properties shift instantaneously to facilitate the joke. once character will bounce off a wall like it's a trampoline but within a second another character crashes into it and it's solid rock (the characters teeth may then shatter like glass).
faces can be stretched.
it's hyper-tactility and hyper-kinetic. it's all stretching and bouncing and rubbery and squishy and squeezable and inflatable, etc.
and there's music that's just like that. it's music that's an affront to the intangibility of dematerialisation. it distills and concentrates the joy of the physical world in much the same was as cartoon physics does.
