What are some great animated movies that have a simple/limited art style?

I’m looking for something great that has a very simplistic, almost minimalist, art style. Something where the art or animation isn’t the main focus, but the story is.

The only one I can think of right now is It’s Such a Beautiful Day directed by Don Hertzfeldt. It’s literally just stick figures drawn on paper, but he tells an incredibly bleak yet moving story, and believe it or not is considered one of the best animated films of all time.

I would also put South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, but I think we all expected that from South Park.

Can you think of any other great movies with a simple art style? I’m not saying it has to be exactly like It’s Such a Beautiful Day or South Park, just something low on visuals and high on storytelling.

For short films I can think of two examples:

Ostatnie zero is a wordplay that means last zero and someone worthless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-G-VRODfc

Czerwone i czarne has quite simple artstyle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t9Ffhb5PZY
