The Changes is based on Peter Dickinson's children's trilogy, of which The Weathermonger (bizarrely, never filmed) is an exceptionally fine debut novel.
Sort of almost Steampunk insects? I can see why it would appeal to you.This is my choice. Clever, witty and wholly enjoyable! I give you... Insektors...

Never seen this before. Will have to look out for it.
I saw that actual viewing when I was 4 or 5, on the BBC I think. It must have made a deep impression. My memories of it were a bit fuzzy and I was not sure years afterwards that I had not dreamed it. Until I found it, in 2005 , in a video rental shop in Vancouver. I now have it on DVD. It is quite dreamlike and occasionally a bit alarming. Music by Harry Nilsson.My spouse has often spoke of a 1971 made for TV cartoon, seen only once. The Point.
The wikipedia link is also worth a read with a surprising number of big names involved: -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Point!
The hit single from the movie, Me and My Arrow, was used to promote the new Plymouth (and Dodge in Canada) compact, Arrow.

I'm sure you noticed Ringo Star as the narrator and other voices. Oblio's voice was Mike Lookinlad--better known as Bobby Brady. It didn't strike me like it did my spouse, who I would estimate was ten when it showed. I missed out on everything back then and didn't see it until my 50s, and I suspect if you rewatched it, it might not hit you the same. A strange little tale, yet I guess that's what you get when you put an acid trip to music (or so it is claimed).I saw that actual viewing when I was 4 or 5, on the BBC I think.

And very sadly not available on dvd.I would include [...] The Magic Roundabout in this category. Odd, engrossing, non-violent, very reassuring late 60s-early 70s independent British productions ( Magic Roundabout animation was French but the script and narration was British.)
I don’t know if any of these made it across the pond. They are deeply cherished in the UK
There was an early '60s B&W Tezuka series about a boy and three animals on a farm who were really aliens in disguise... a horse, a duck and a bunny! The boy was named Ronnie (at least in the American dubbed version). It was named The Amazing Three (Wonder Three in Japan) and I would buy a legit set of them in a second. Some video tapes I have of them look like they were taped off on Los Angeles' KCOP channel. I saw Marine Boy back in the day and it was one of my favorites (with Piper and Bolton in a mini sub and Splasher the dolphin)! My older brother used to watch Gigantor apparently, he would sing the theme song, but I, five years younger, never remembered seeing it.Gigantor

These were among the earliest anime along with show Astro Boy, Kimba The White Lion and Speed Racer(the three being the best remembered from that time period) to be shown in the United States. The animating quality was batter them most other Us Produced Cartoon tv show of that era .
Crusader Rabbit is an American animated series created by Alexander Anderson and Jay Ward, and the first of its kind to be produced specifically for television.
Bleep and Booster, a cartoon segment in Blue Peter, in which there's no animation to speak of.
The following is from 1969 (long after I'd stopped watching it) and doesn't seem much of an improvement on the earlier shows I recall:
