80s stuff was mostly drawn by Japanese studios if I'm not mistaken.

Not in the US, though imported anime was super common at the time (Especially in of all places Italy). Most American cartoons from the '80s and before were animated in America. All the Hanna-Barbera shows were animated in America. However, a lot of modern shows have their animation exported. A lot of Calarts style shows were done in South Korea or Japan. I'm pretty sure the show Big City Greens had an entire episode devoted to the meta-plot of going to South Korea to see and credit the animators.

This is from wikipedia

>"Throughout the 1980s and the 1990s, many American shows started to be outsourced to Japanese artists and animators, most notably TMS Entertainment and Sunrise, which animated popular television productions such as Inspector Gadget, The Real Ghostbusters, Mighty Orbots, Rainbow Brite, The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, Bionic Six, Tiny Toon Adventures, DuckTales, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Animaniacs, The Littles, The New Adventures of Zorro, Dennis the Menace, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Batman: The Animated Series, and Superman: The Animated Series, most of which visually or thematically were not reminiscent of Japanese anime. TaleSpin (the animation was done at Walt Disney Animation Japan) did, however, take inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki's 1989 manga Hikōtei Jidai."
 
Im really not aware of any CalArts animation show that was animated in Japan though. it would be strange for Japan to make anime art for everything and then use a completely different and shittier artstyle when animating a Western show.

Huh. TIL. I only googled studios for He Man and the Zelda show, I guess I just got lucky.
