* In Brazil, ''[[Series/DungeonsAndDragons Dungeons & Dragons]]'' was really big. During the 2000s, movie magazine got so fed up with questions about a film adaptation that once replied "It was only popular here!"

* ''SouthPark'' has a rather well-sized fanbase in Japan, it's one of the stand-out western animations there.
** Might have something to do with the [[ArtStyleDissonance cute]] [[{{Kawaisa}} characters]] and [[WidgetSeries overall American weirdness]].
*** Don't forget that the Japanese are fans of ToiletHumor.

* ''TheSimpsons'' is regarded more fondly in French Canada than many other American franchises are, partly due to its [[{{Woolseyism}} local dubbing]] having the characters speak in informal "joual" accents[[hottip:*:unlike most other series/movies (even ones dubbed in Quebec), which either use "bland" region-neutral International French accents or incomprehensible European French accents]] used by most Francophone Quebecers in everyday life and actually pulling it off ''well''[[hottip:*:usually such a practice is frowned upon, such as for the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' series (in written dialogue) or for one character in ''TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'']].
* ''FamilyGuy'' is has a '''MASSIVE''' BrokenBase in North America and considered by some, one of the most offensive things Americans have ever created. But in the United Kingdom, where GallowsHumor is much less shocking, the show is very popular.

* ''TinyToonAdventures'' is surprisingly popular in Russia and Japan, even being reaired in Russia last year.
** It's probably not a coincidence, then, that all seven ''Tiny Toon'' video games released during the '90s were made by {{Konami}}...
*** And the more recent ''Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Bad Dream/Scary Dreams'' and the sadly never-released ''Tiny Toons: Defenders of the Universe'' were made by {{Treasure}}.

* There was a time when Russian dubs of Disney series [[{{Woolseyism}} were very good]]. ''DuckTales'', ''TaleSpin'' and ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' were done nicely, but ''DarkwingDuck'' was incredibly awesome, extremely popular and a subject for MemeticMutation lasting ever now. ''Everybody'' who grew up in the 90s knows the intro song by heart. In addition, it introduced a whole generation to superhero tropes due to WeirdAlEffect.

* The animated ''CuriousGeorge'', takes this UpToEleven, while relatively unknown and obscure in the United States, the cartoon is so popular in Japan, [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-01-09/japan-animation-tv-ranking-december-12-18 that it often makes the Top 10 TV Animation Lists each week]], in a list which has been mainly domestic animation after ''LiloAndStitch'' aired about ''half a decade ago.''

* "LiloAndStitch" Was also very popular in japan, with an [[ptitlem3bfpr12jt53 anime]] version that lasted 4 seasons.

** Also the show is extremely popular in {{Spain}}, to [[SeriousBusiness near]]-[[FanDumb religious]] [[PopCulturalOsmosis levels]]
** This doesn't end here, in {{Argentina}} the '''WHOLE''' Sunday programation of a TV broadcast network from noon to 5 is Simpsons re-runs, and with fairly good ratings too.

* Gwen from ''{{Ben 10}}'', a rather [[BaseBreaker divisive character]] in the West, is ''incredibly'' popular in Southeast Asia; so much that the Cartoon Network branch there has given her a product line and even her own official website!

* ''ExtremeGhostbusters'' has enough popularity in Europe that it has a few video game adaptations...

** Also the show is extremely popular in [[{{Spain}}]], to [[SeriousBusiness near]]-[[FanDumb religious]] [[PopCulturalOsmosis levels]]

* {{Doujinshi}} of Jenny from ''{{My Life as a Teenage Robot}}'' is common in Japan, which isn't really suprising considering it's like their beloved ''AstroBoy'' and she's a [[BadassAdorable cu]][[{{Moe}} te]] RobotGirl. Even better, her voice actress is Japanese.

*** And the more recent ''Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Bad Dream/Scary Dream'' and the sadly never-released ''Tiny Toons: Defenders of the Universe'' were made by {{Treasure}}.

* Even though the show lasted only one season, ''TopCat'' ("Don Gato") in Mexico and the rest of Latin America is perhaps the most popular series of all Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and they're all quite popular..
** "We" are even making a feature length movie! Extra effort is being put in making the voice acting as similar to the original dubbing as possible (which is part of what made it so successful in the first place).

* In the {{DCAU}}, {{Supergirl}} has considerable popularity in Japan. So popular that a [[Funny/JusticeLeague chubby little fangirl kicked Stargirl in the shin]] when she badmouthed about Supergirl.

* In FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes, at one point Johnny comments "That's it, I'm moving to Japan. They ''love'' me in Japan."
