I'm wondering if you know about any creators making analysis or historical commentary on film.

The only one I know is Every Frame a Painting, can you recommend others in a similar vein?

More on topic: I highly recommend Jared Bauer and Wisecrack if you like philosophy, politics, and how it relates to media.

Less historical, more comedic: After Hours, Cracked (their older stuff), and Dr. Jordan Breeding are comedic analysis of various media.

In depth analysis/socio-political insights/research: Jessie Gender for various insights into media (including animated shows like Lower Decks and Invincible).

Animation, I like Johnny 2 Cellos and Offbeat Kiki. Johnny in particular posts more often and has in depth takes, but Kiki, when she does post gives more nuanced takes imho.

Actual amazing animated projects you can watch on Youtube include Lackadaisy, Helluva Boss, and Hazbin Hotel.

Enjoy.
