As you can find in the link, Robot Carnival is an older animated anthology movie from 1987 with a similar scifi focus. It's by no means the same beyond that though, but still a good watch if you're a fan of scifi animation.

Also it's pretty easy to find somewhere to watch it for free across different streaming services, e.g. Retrocrush, Tubi, Freevee, Roku Channel, etc.

I miss this kinda "dirty" animation, like Disney had before going full CG. Even TV animation is just so, overly clean?

I guess i miss the art style where you could tell that a human hand drew, and colored, the animation cell. Now it's draw on a computer, clean up the lines, make every line the same thickness, color it in with the bucket tool, no artistic flair, yawn...

Yes! Check out Memories ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories_(1995_film) ) as well.
