This syndicated AdventureSeries from 1959 is most remembered for its SynchroVox technique, in which the filmed lips of human actors were superimposed on static drawings. Otherwise the animation was ''[[ExaggeratedTrope extremely]]'' {{limited|Animation}}. We're talking one frame every two, three seconds. Incidentally, this is partly why Synchro-Vox was near-immediately discredited and is only used for comedic effect now.

Misuse. An Expy is an unambiguous copy, and mere resemblance is not enough to qualify.

** Clutch Cargo resembles Burt Lancaster in appearance.
** And Race Bannon from ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' bears a passing resemblance to Clutch.
