** It also achieved success in the United Kingdom, where it had a ton of airings on CITV.

** This Canadian series was generally rather luckless when it came to international markets, but Australia proved to be the exception, where it aired on [[Creator/TheABC ABC3]]. On that channel, ''Detentionaire'' enjoyed incredibly strong ratings that actually managed to rival those on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in Canada (where it was the channel's highest rated show of the time). In fact, all the seasons following the first were aired in Australia before they came to Canada.

** It's popular in Australia to the point where [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3218320/We-ve-stages-grief-Parents-flood-ABC-photos-kids-hearing-devastating-news-broadcaster-cancelled-TV-favourite-Curious-George.html children were brought to tears]] when Creator/TheABC (temporarily) took the series off the air.

** The series was very popular in America when it first aired in 1984 on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}[[note]]In fact, it was Nickelodeon's idea to give Count Duckula [[WesternAnimation/CountDuckula his own spinoff]].[[/note]], and it became one of the earliest British cartoons (though [[WesternAnimation/TheClangers not]] [[WesternAnimation/TheWombles the]] [[WesternAnimation/Paddington1975 first]]) to enter syndication in America, thanks to its quick-witted English humour appealing to both pre-teens and adults. Heck, some Americans believe that ''Danger Mouse'' may have helped start UsefulNotes/TheRenaissanceAgeOfAnimation.

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' actually has a Latin American following, with many fans of the show from that part of the world. You'll be likely to see comments, fanart, and more from these fans in the region in Spanish, but luckily they're about the same amount (or a bit more) as their US counterparts. It's also a fondly remembered Nicktoon in Vietnam, mostly due to Mr. Hyunh.

** The show also had some success in Latin America, thanks in part to its SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing from actors like Juan Carlos Tinoco, Pepe Tono Macias, and Manuel Campuzano (who voiced Principal General Barrage, Chaz Moneranian, and Holger Holgaart respectively).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'' is popular in Korean countries, having spawned various fan artists and creations from there.

* The ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' cartoon was surprisingly popular in Japan, and even got its own line of merch that neither America nor Canada got. It might have something to do with the fact that the Japanese version of the show used some very popular voice actors. The Japanese theme was even featured in ''[[VideoGame/DonkeyKonga Donkey Konga 3]]'', making it the only western-made Nintendo adaptation to be officially recognized in a Nintendo game.

** During the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the studio was very popular with Australian audiences. Notably from children who grew to love and appreciate Hanna-Barbera characters compared to America. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZK7bZBtJ_Y Wonderland Sydney]] (Australia's biggest theme park) had its own Hanna-Barbera children's area from 1985 till 2002, with the studio's characters being popular meetable characters with guests. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiekyEk26NE There was even an Australian music video]] that was shot at Wonderland's "Hanna-Barbera Land" children's area with WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo, WesternAnimation/YogiBear, WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}, and [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons George Jetson]] making appearances.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheImpossibles'' is forgotten in America, but '''huge''' in Japan, where it was called ''Super Three''. The BattleCry of "Rally ho!" became '[[JapaneseRanguage Rariho]]', which in turn became 'Lali-ho'. It has been referenced in ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' as a sleep spell, ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' as the dwarves' greeting, and ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'' as Death Thirteen's {{Catchphrase}}.

* Hungarians adored ''WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}'', as its style of offensively vulgar comedy and scenes that you could watch without context really appealed to their sense of humor. Their local dubs of shows like ''Family Guy'' and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' were also notorious for ramping up the profanity compared to the originals, so a show that was obscene to begin with was a godsend to them. Poles also adored this show.

* WesternAnimation/ElpidioValdes was mighty popular in its native Cuba but was majorly popular in Russia as well. The Russian market was so important that the series stopped once Russia couldnt support it anymore.

** It's huge in Canada. While the show was treated roughly by Creator/NickJr after its peak and has been shoved into early morning timeslots, it is one of Creator/TreehouseTV's flagship shows and is the second most-aired show on the channel (after ''Peppa Pig''. Up until January of 2018, it was the most ran show) that's not [[CanadianSeries produced in Canada]]. It even aired on Canadian free-to-air TV at one point, which is a rare thing to happen to a show from a cable network in Canada. Also, compared to the mockery the show constantly gets from older viewers in the United States, the show is viewed more positively in Canada, mainly because it teaches about Spanish culture and the Spanish language, which isn't as prominent in the country as it is in the United States, where French is more widespread instead.

* While ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'' only lasted for a short time on PBS and faded into obscurity, in Canada YTV aired the show until 2007, making it a staple of many Canadian early 2000s kids' childhoods.

** It was huge in Canada when it premiered, to the point where [[https://web.archive.org/web/20010212015423/http://cbc4kids.ca:80/getset/guestbook/guestbook_0101.html half of CBC's 2000 fanmail]] was kids writing about their love for it. While Zak and Wheezie are the most popular characters in the show's home country of the United States, Cassie is the most popular character in Canada. It helps that the show was an InternationalCoProduction between the US and Canada, with the voice-acting being done in Canada by Creator/TheOceanGroup actors.
