** ''StrawberryShortcakeBerryInTheBigCity'' drew the attention of ''Friendship is Magic'' and Generation 5 fans. G4 fans enjoy the heavy voice cast overlap (Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germain, Diana Kaarina, Vincent Tong, Shannon Chan-Kent, and more) between the series, the involvement of Daniel Ingram in the music, and, particularly for fans of Equestria Girls, the blending of dynamic cartoon-y styles and slice-of-life situations. The series itself is also produced by Wildbrain, the same company that worked on MLP back when it was known as DHX Media. G5 fans similarly enjoy two shared voice actors in key roles -- Ana Sani (Strawberry/Izzy) and Bahia Watson (Orange/Misty) -- and a shortform format that's very similar to My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale.

*** The incredibly-popular fan series ''WebAnimation/TheStoriesOfSodor'' started off as a version of ''TUGS'' with ''Thomas'' characters, with clear parallels between the characters, and plots being adapted wholesale, mixed with original stories and realistic versions of ''Railway Series'' and TV series episodes.



** Many Thomas fans are also ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fans, and there are a lot of fanfics and fanart crossing over the two.

to:

** The Thomas fandom and the ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' fandom have a good overlap, most likely owing to the ''WebAnimation/TrainsFormers'' fan videos.
** Despite the above-mentioned {{Fandom Rivalr|y}}ies, there are still some Thomas fans who like ''WesternAnimation/{{Chuggington}}'', and vice-versa.
** Many Thomas fans are also ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fans, and there are a lot of fanfics and fanart crossing over the two. One reason for this may be because both shows are popular among people on the autism spectrum.

* Thanks to Emman sharing ideas and stuff about them (like a hypothetical [[LighterAndSofter family-friendly]] approach to a ''Grand Theft Auto''/''Saint's Row'' game like ''LEGO City Undercover'' for the latter), the fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' (especially with both [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie Goofy]] WesternAnimation/AnExtremelyGoofyMovie Movies) are starting to be friends since they're both family-friendly animated comedies focusing on Family Relationships in Urban settings.

* A rather odd example: the fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' would often get along with fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' and have grown to have mutual respect for each other, probably due to the similarities between the two shows. This used to be the reason they originally [[FandomRivalry hated each other]], but now that there is no threat of competition, fans of either are now often fans of both. [[note]]However, see WesternAnimation/{{dueling shows}}, as ''Recess'' is the winner against ''Hey Arnold'', even though the latter came out first.[[/note]]

** The Thomas fandom and the ''WesternAnimation/{{TUGS}}'' fandom go hand-in-hand. This is because of the similar concepts, and the fact that a good chunk of the production team of ''TUGS'' also worked on Thomas. The show was even created by David Mitton and Robert Cardona, who were the series' then director and producer, respectively. It's even implied that both shows take place in the same universe (especially with Big Mickey becoming a character in Season 21 after his model was just there as a case of PropRecycling. There's even clear parallels to his character in ''TUGS'').
** There's also a nice overlap with the ''WesternAnimation/TheodoreTugboat'' fandom, given that Robert D. Cardona worked on that show as well as ''Thomas'' and ''TUGS''. ''Theodore'' is similar to the aforementioned ''TUGS'', but is more kid-friendly.

** First off, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' fandom is on good terms with ''WesternAnimation/{{Cyberchase}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'' fandoms. PBS even ran a series of unofficial crossover promos called "Marthur."
** Both the ''Cyberchase'' and ''Martha'' fandoms get along great with the ''WesternAnimation/WordGirl'' fandom, due to having continuity and a vocabulary curriculum.
** ''[=WordGirl=]'' sometimes gets this with fellow literacy series ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld'' and ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'', but more often gets this with ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'', who gets along with ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat'', who gets along with ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', who gets along with ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'', ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'', and ''WesternAnimation/XavierRiddleAndTheSecretMuseum''.
** ''Luna'' and ''Xavier'' would both later get overlap with ''WesternAnimation/ElinorWondersWhy'' [[OnlySoManyCanadianActors due to their similar cast members]], and to a lesser extent, ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary''.
** The ''Molly'' fandom is on good terms with the ''WesternAnimation/AlmasWay'' fandom. Finally, both ''Elinor'' and ''Alma'' fans would get along with the ''WesternAnimation/RosiesRules'' fandom, due to their {{Moe}} characters and usage of Latin-American culture.

* The fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' have been and still remain very friendly, with each show ''still'' having the other as their number one crossover on Fanfiction dot net over ten years later. Both shows came out around the same time and revolved around teenage superheroes and both were relatively lighthearted while still being able to go into some pretty dark territory, so it's not too surprising. Generally, if you were a fan of one, chances were you were also a fan of the other. In some circles, there was even a bit of a joke that Danny was the unofficial sixth Titan.

* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' with ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' due to Creator/HJonBenjamin starring as the titular characters in both series. The Season 4 premiere of the latter was a crossover episode where Archer has amnesia and thinks he's Bob Belcher. The season 4 finale guest starred Eugene Mirman and Creator/KristenSchaal as one-off characters, both using the same voices they use for Gene and Louise respectively.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' moved on to this show, since both shows have a similar tone, the latter show has some of the same cast and crew as the former, and the target demographic of the former (kids) is now the PeripheryDemographic of the latter (college students).
** Many fans of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls'' and ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' also got into ''Friendship Is Magic'' because of Creator/LaurenFaust's contributions to all three shows.
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fans are on very good grounds with ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and even modern ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' fans, mostly due to certain similarities between various characters and humor (with Zim having less similarities to [=SpongeBob=] as the others). ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' as well, since some members of the crew went on to be involved in shows such as ''Gravity Falls'', ''Adventure Time'', and ''Regular Show''.
** Going back a little further, fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' are very friendly with fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', due to the similar SliceOfLife nature between the shows. This also makes sense, considering those who [[TheNineties grew up watching the two Nickelodeon shows]] (with a ChannelHop for the former) are in the PeripheryDemographic for ''[=FiM=]''.
** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and its sequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', have a friendly rivalry with fans of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. Things can get pretty heated over [[FandomRivalry which of the two is better]], but there's a lot of crossover between the two fandoms, and most of those who aren't fans of both are still pretty cool with the other show.
** ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' fans and bronies tend to get along quite well, with fans from both sides often citing that the shows are the absolute [[OppositesAttract polar opposites]] of each other.
** Bronies and fans of ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' get along quite well due to the similar nature of the shows and both fanbases sharing a lot of members. This is in spite of a [[VocalMinority small but loud]] portion of the latter's fans that tried to stir up trouble over a certain event and trigger a FandomRivalry, and a handful of bronies even claim [[NiceJobFixingItVillain is how they came to learn of Steven Universe to begin with]].
** The fandoms of both this show and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' generally get along well due to how they're both TV-Y rated shows that reinvigorated interest for shows in their respective networks, on top of similarly catchy music, and themes on love, family, and friendship.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', for several reasons. They’re both well-received {{Animated Adaptation}}s of live action movies from the 80s, their premises both feature characters dealing with ghosts like it’s no big deal, and they were both early attempts to break out of the AnimationAgeGhetto via solid writing
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' are open to anything. This is both ironic and fitting, given the show’s context. The only thing the fans (and even the show itself) legitimately dislike is the Chinese knockoff, ''Animation/MiracleStar''.
* A rather odd example: the fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' would often get along with fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' and have grown to have mutual respect for each other, probably due to the similarities between the two shows. This used to be the reason they originally [[FandomRivalry hated each other]], but now that there is no threat of competition, fans of either are now often fans of both. [[note]]However, see WesternAnimation/{{dueling shows}}, as ''Recess'' is the winner against ''Hey Arnold'', even though the latter came out first.[[/note]]
* Many of the prominent {{Fanfic}} writers for ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' also wrote fanfic for ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' back in the 1990s. These days, newcomers to the fandom tend to be fans of ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' who discovered it via Red Witch and other fanfic writers. Later on, the ''Galaxy Rangers'' fan writers ended up writing ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' fanfic, partly because of the similarities in the character types (Doc and Hardison, Nathan and Zach, Shane and Spencer).
* There's a lot of overlap between fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''--both are slightly dark series written with a preteen/teenage crowd in mind, and ''Young Justice'' aired on Cartoon Network in the time slot right before ''The Legend of Korra'' on Nickelodeon.
* In the same block as ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' also have a lot of fandom crossover. This is thanks in no small part to the fact that one of the writers of GLTAS, Giancarlo Volpe, worked on the previous Avatar series and he has plugged his previous team's new show several times on Tumblr (and they return the favor.)
* There's also overlap between the two ''Avatar'' series and ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''; in addition to the aforementioned Giancarlo Volpe also previously worked on ''The Clone Wars'', ''Clone Wars''' supervising director Dave Filoni was a director on the first season of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. Voice actor Creator/DeeBradleyBaker has also cited his roles in both shows to be his favorite voice acting roles.
* Fans of Creator/GregWeisman shows seem to blend into one big fandom.
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' fans have banded together. As the two headliners of Cartoon Network's weekend morning "WesternAnimation/DCNation" block, they air in back-to-back time slots--and they were both subject to epic [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwing by Cartoon Network]] when they were abruptly shelved about eight hours before airing their third episode after coming off summer hiatus. Fans want to see them back before January 2013. When both shows were canceled at the same time, the fandoms banded further together in support of both shows, using the FandomNickname "Symbiosi" (which, in ''Young Justice,'' is the Atlantean word for "together").
* While they do have a minor FandomRivalry, most ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' fans are also ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'', and/or ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' fans. This is thanks to the fact that the creator of Steven Universe, Rebecca Sugar, is a former ''Adventure Time'' writer who was known for writing fan favorite episodes like "[[TearJerker Simon and Marcy]]," and they both originally aired on Cartoon Network on Monday nights within the same hour (although ''Steven Universe'' has moved to Wednesdays).
* There's also considerable overlap between fans of ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'', as several fans of the former began to watch the latter after the DC Nation hiatus happened. [=TMNT2012=] also overlaps a lot with ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo!'' due to Ciro Neili producing the former and creating the later. He throws a lot of references to monkey team into TMNT and boy have the fans noticed.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fandoms get along excellently considering many ''Trek'' alumni have done character voices for the Disney series, especially Jonathon Frakes and Marina Sirtis as the major antagonists, David Xanatos and Demona respectively.
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong, WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', and ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'', all being {{Kid Hero}}es who WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld and seem like they'd be good friends were they ever in the same universe, were given the crossover name "The Secret Trio" by fans on Website/{{Tumblr}}. This fanbase also has some overlap with the ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'' fanbase and ([[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7180583/chapters/16298627 thanks to]][[https://queenofhearts7378.tumblr.com the works of]] a writer known as [=QueenofHearts7378=]) the ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' fanbase.
* The fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Stoked}}'' are all quite friendly with each other, due to all of them sharing similar tone and comedy, as well as being about Canadian teenagers. No surprise given that all three series are from [[Creator/FreshTV the same creators]]. ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' can sometimes be included as well, although its vastly different tone and direction (due to being the brainchld of different people than the other 3) doesn't always make this the case.
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom, WesternAnimation/ParaNorman,'' and ''WesternAnimation/DudeThatsMyGhost'', because of the plot revolving around ghosts.
* Many ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' fans are usually friendly with the ''Adventure Time'' fans. Mostly because former writers from ''[=SpongeBob=]'' had worked on or are still currently working on ''Adventure Time''.
* There is a case with ''Adventure Time'' and ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', despite the two being completely different. This is because former writers had worked on the show. One of the creators (Dan Provenmire) was an occasional writer for ''[=SpongeBob=]'' (and a director for ''Family Guy'' episodes from Season 2-Season 5). It helps that both shows have an EnsembleDarkhorse character voiced by Olivia Olson (Marceline and Vanessa, respectively).
* Many ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' fans are usually friendly with ''Rugrats'' fans as both shows are very character driven, aired on Nickelodeon around the same time, specialized in heartwarming moments and have similarities in characters. It's worth noting that Craig Bartlett is a former ''Rugrats'' writer, and left to create ''Hey Arnold''.
* Unlike their [[SpiritualSuccessor spiritual predecessors]], ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' fans are very friendly with each other because both shows are considered better than their predecessors, they're not as popular nor as successful as them, they have a similar style of humour and they both share some writers and producers. Both show's also underwent a relatively minor dose of SeasonalRot when they moved from Fox to their new respective channels.
* In the 2000s, many ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' fans liked both shows and were very friendly with each other because both started in the same year, were cancelled around the same time and revived in 2005, had similar jokes, an absurd tone, and characterisation and both suffered through a heavy dose of SeasonalRot around the same time for similar reasons. Not to mention they both replaced established franchises as flagship shows for their respective networks (''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'').
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' and ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' get along very well for the most part because of their large focus of slapstick and the fact that the studio behind ''Looney Tunes'', Creator/WarnerBros got the rights to ''Tom And Jerry'' through their ownership of the pre-1986 MGM library.
* The FiveManBand of [[TheEighties 1980s]] cartoons is often said to be composed of ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero''. And, if you talk to your typical children of the Eighties, you'll see it's for good reason.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' as well, at least for the fact that the shows have similar characters.
* Just like The Secret Trio and Fanfic/RiseOfTheBraveTangledDragons, fanbases of certain animated shows- with KidHero stars battling the supernatural and strange -have united to create a composite team-up universe, featuring the Mystery Kids. The most frequent members of this team-up are the protagonists of WesternAnimation/GravityFalls, WesternAnimation/ParaNorman, WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}, VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}, and to a lesser extent, WesternAnimation/InvaderZim and WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', and ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'', all of which have a very mature feel to them compared to most modern cartoons, and are all plot-driven. The similarity of GF and OTGW's respective sets of sibling protagonists combined with overall air of mystery, outdoorsiness and demonic presence also renders the two shows uniquely compatible. In a poke at the infamous trio of [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Super]][[Series/DoctorWho who]][[Series/{{Sherlock}} lock]], the crossover between ''Steven Universe,'' ''Gravity Falls'' and ''Over the Garden Wall'' has been dubbed Steven Falls Over.
* The fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' and ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' have been and still remain very friendly, with each show ''still'' having the other as their number one crossover on Fanfiction dot net over ten years later. Both shows came out around the same time and revolved around teenage superheroes and both were relatively lighthearted while still being able to go into some pretty dark territory, so it's not too surprising. Generally, if you were a fan of one, chances were you were also a fan of the other. In some circles, there was even a bit of a joke that Danny was the unofficial sixth Titan.
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' are enjoying other modern animated shows that resemble ''Gravity Falls'' and have staff who are friends of Creator/AlexHirsch. Some shows include:
** ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''. Star Butterfly has been positively compared to Mabel for sharing Mabel's GenkiGirl personality, love of cute and colorful things like puppies and rainbows, and friendship with a savvy guy.
** ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017''. Not only is Alex Hirsch's girlfriend a director of the show in the first season, but the new Webby has been favorably compared to Mabel for her GenkiGirl personality and love of grappling hooks.
** ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. Not only is co-creator Creator/JustinRoiland a personal friends of Alex Hirsch, but ''Rick and Morty'' also has many references to ''Gravity Falls'' including a brief CrossoverPunchline [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=821TmxO95iE between the two shows]]. The fact that [[spoiler: Stanford is confirmed to have traveled through several dimensions]], a popular fanon has popped up that Rick and [[spoiler: Stanford]] were friends [[CrossoverShip if not more]]. The most common bit of fanon is that Rick Sanchez helped [[spoiler: Stanford]] obtain the Infinity-Sided Die, and smuggle it through inter-dimensional customs. %%The fact that Gr
** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', two other Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation shows, are friendly with both ''Gravity Falls'' fans and each other. Both shows were announced together, as well as having [[TrappedInAnotherWorld similar premises]] and being created by ''Gravity Falls'' alumni. The latter series even had Alex Hirsch voice frog versions of Grunkle Stan and Soos in a ''Gravity Falls'' homage.
* Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'' are on friendly terms with fans of other animated Netflix shows, like ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' and ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender''. (Though there's also quite a bit of FandomRivalry going on between those three in particular for reasons that shall not be gotten into on this page)
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' fans get along since both sci-fi works involve heaping piles of BlackComedy aimed at exploring the meaningless of life. As with Alex Hirsch, Justin Roiland is good friends with Creator/JhonenVasquez with the two trading friendly jabs on social media.
* Thanks to Emman sharing ideas and stuff about them (like a hypothetical [[LighterAndSofter family-friendly]] approach to a ''Grand Theft Auto''/''Saint's Row'' game like ''LEGO City Undercover'' for the latter), the fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' (especially with both [[WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie Goofy]] WesternAnimation/AnExtremelyGoofyMovie Movies) are starting to be friends since they're both family-friendly animated comedies focusing on Family Relationships in Urban settings.
* Because of their {{moe}} cast, similar protagonists, and having some of the same crew[[note]]both are animated by Creator/GuruStudio, as well as Michela Luci voicing characters in both shows[[/note]], the fandoms of ''WesternAnimation/TrueAndTheRainbowKingdom'' and ''WesternAnimation/AbbyHatcher'' get along well.
* The fandom of ''WesternAnimation/KiddVideo'' is on good terms with that of ''WesternAnimation/{{Jem}}'', as both are 1980s cartoons focusing on bands.
