Any AI Upscaling Pros on here?

I was ripping Futurama DVDs a couple nights ago, and your post made me experiment a bit in Handbrake since animation should be much simpler to get non-AI upscaling to look good. I tried some of the filters available in Handbrake, sharpen, chroma smoothing, deblocking, etc. But the ok, but not great, results was not worth the loss in encoding speed and extra storage. 50-60fps vs 600-800FPS, 1.3GB vs 300MB. Definitely not even close to whatever upscaling process was used for Futurama on Hulu.
