    Pauvre Pierrot (1892) - World's 1st Animated Cartoon

    The first animation, exhibited in October 1892 when Charles-Émile Reynaud opened his Théâtre Optique at the Musée Grévin. Reynaud developed the movie system in 1888, and it is also believed to be the first usage of film perforations. Pauvre Pierrot originally consisted of 500 individually painted images.​

    The Magic Pony (1977)

    The Humpbacked Horse (film) - Wikipedia

    In 1975 Ivan Ivanov-Vano made another version of the same film.[2] The 1975 film is 70 minutes long; 15 minutes longer than the original. Although the progression of scenes and their plot content is usually the same as in the original, the animation and specific actions of the characters are different; for example, a scene may be taken from a different angle or in a different location (all of the backgrounds were also newly-drawn). Sometimes a scene was drawn out, other times contracted (for example, the scene where Ivan first sees the white horse is much-simplified compared to 1947).

    This was done because the original film was then in a very bad shape and the technical expertise for a restoration did not exist. In 2004, with the technical expertise now existing in Russia, the original film was restored and released on DVD by Krupnyy Plan (Крупный План).

    The 1975 version was redubbed, recut and released in the United States as The Magic Pony in 1977, with Jim Backus as the voice of the Tsar and Johnny Whitaker as Ivan.​

    Little Nemo a.k.a. Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics (1911)

    Cartoonist Winsor McCay agrees to create a large set of drawings that will be photographed and made into a motion picture. The job requires plenty of drawing supplies, and the cartoonist must also overcome some mishaps caused by an assistant. Finally, the work is done, and everyone can see the resulting animated picture. (IMDb)​
    Little Nemo is a very early animation (1911) drawn by Windsor McCay and based on his comic strip, Little Nemo in Slumberland. It is interesting in that it shows McCay drawing the pictures which will later go into the animation.​

    Surprised no one has posted any Norman McLaren here. Maybe not obscure enough?
    His abstract feature Begone Dull Care with music by Oscar Peterson is an absolute classic. Not to mention Neighbors, animated but not cartoon...

    Norman McLaren: Hands-on Animation

    NFB Films directed by Norman McLaren

    If you like animation, definitely look at his work and documentary features showing how he pioneered some stop motion techniques, even painting directly on film cells and hand drawing audio on the optical track.

    La Joie De Vivre (1934)

    La Joie de Vivre is described as a break from the "limiting comic tradition of the 1930s cartoon animation", and its free, decorative style and vague politics permitted its re-release in France during the early 1940s by the Vichy government.

    “Frisky, naughty and bursting with raw power: [La Joie de Vivre] is one of the most technically adept animations ever made, and represents a milestone in the development of an international style of animation on par with the Art Deco movement.”​

    The nine-minute film is described in the Internet Movie Database as "A tone poem [in which] two woodland sprites dance about, atop power lines and among flowers and leaves, while being pursued. Everyone spends some time pulling levers to switch trains, too."​

    The Railway Dragon

    This was made by the same people behind The Raccoons, hence its similar animation/visual style. Listen out for Leslie Nielson and Barry Morse amongst the voice cast.

    It could be since, per Wikipedia, Alan Reed passed away in 1977. However, the Wikipedia article lists his last appearance as a voice actor as on Captain Caveman & The Teen Angels. However, it is possible that he recorded his lines for the above special before 1977.

    This is the case with another actor, Vincent Price, and the movie that became The Thief And The Cobbler. Price recorded his lines more than 20 years before the original version of the movie was released (in 1993, the year Price passed away).

    The following is a link to Alan Reed's Wikipedia page: Alan Reed - Wikipedia
