The reason why there are only about 4 frames of animation per foot of film here vs. the 40 in a fully animated movie is that this show was made initially in a San Francisco garage on a on a insanely tiny budget. The later CR episodes had more animation, but in the early days all animation done for TV (as opposed the theatres) featured limited animaton -- as shown in nearly every Hanna Barbera production (Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, etc.). And H-B came a decade AFTER Crusader Rabbit.

The series "bounced" across several local New York stations in the '50s {WNBT/WRCA/WNBC, WPIX, WOR} because it had more than one distributor [and, by 1959, there were TWO versions of "CRUSADER", including the 260 color episodes produced by Shull Bonsall/TV Spots/Capital Enterprises in 1957-'58].

Jay Ward went on to create Rocky and Bullwinkle and Fractured Flickers. All of these things are why the man was a genius and a true pioneer.
