History NeedsMoreLove / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet''. This series is about a kid who own a talking sock puppet who is actually a transformed superhero, and they fight crime as a superhero duo. As weird as that premise sounds, it's tons of fun and action-packed with spectacular art and animation (by [[Creator/MercuryFilmworks the same people]] behind ''Wander Over Yonder'' and ''Star vs. the Forces of Evil''), great characters, and a ''huge'' case of GrowingTheBeard. Unfortunately, it has an extremely tiny fanbase because Disney XD treated it as expendable slot filler. And this is a show that was nominated for best animated series by the National Cartoonists Society alongside ''The Loud House'' and the frickin' ''Simpsons'', for crying out loud!

* ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'', full stop. A cute, hilarious, creative, and genuinely heartwarming show about two brothers and the odd jobs they work around their town. Nearly every character is super likeable; the animation is excellent (with some really fun usage of MediumBlending), and the series handles the brotherly bond between its title characters perfectly. The show is just absolutely gleeful to watch. I mean, The New York Times called it one of the best TV shows of 2018, for crying out loud!

* ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'' is a really funny and genuinely wholesome young child show with a great protagonist (and an endearing supporting cast), smart writing that departed great lessons (especially about stuff like creativity and problem-solving) for its young viewers without talking down on them, and a really awesome theme song. Yet sadly, it never seems to get as much attention or love as similarly well-crafted preschooler/elementary-aimed productions like ''Franklin'' and ''Arthur''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'' isn't as popular as Creator/FreshTV's other animated series (with many unfairly dismissing it for how different it is; it's made by a different pair of people than ''Total Drama'') and was unfairly ScrewedByTheNetwork during its time on air. And that's a shame because it's a very funny show loaded with SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic exploring multiple genres, creatively zany writing, and a very self-aware nature that gives it a unique and offbeat presentation despite its simple-sounding premise.

* ''WesternAnimation/ItsPony'', a wholesome cartoon that is a collaboration with Nickelodeon and the British animation studio Blue Zoo, featuring a girl and her talking pony. Like Harvey Beaks, it was a laid-back Nicktoon in a sea of hyperactive Nicktoons. So, it was no surprise that this show got shunted to the Nicktoons channel after endless waiting for its return. Being greenlit from the previous management didn't help matters.

* {{Creator/Nelvana}}'s ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool''. This show takes place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals and focuses on a group of Kindergarten students at Hilltop School. The main character, Timothy, is a young 5 year old raccoon who's best friend is Yoko a kindhearted Japanese kitten. Timothy loves helping out his friends and the other class students when something goes wrong or they're in a bad situation. The show is based on the works of Creator/RosemaryWells (who would be involved with the ''WesternAnimation/MaxAndRuby'' series in 2002), with the first two episodes adapting the original ''Timothy'' and ''Yoko'' books while the rest of the episodes adapt some stories from the ''Yoko & Friends'' series. A few episodes also had original plots with some good Aesops for children and adults to learn. The show first aired on Creator/PBSKids "Bookworm Bunch" Sunday morning block from 2000-2004, then returned in reruns on Creator/DiscoveryChannel and {{Creator/TLC}}'s "Ready Set Learn" block. The show can be seen on Creator/{{Qubo}} in America (which doesn't get too many viewers being a digital subchannel and all), and Canadian channel Creator/TreehouseTV has all the episodes on Youtube [[NoExportForYou though they can't be seen outside of Canada.]] The show also airs on Tiny Pop in the UK.

* ''WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon'' and, [[Creator/IanJamesCorlett from the same creator]], ''WesternAnimation/BeingIan''. Two classic Canadian series from the early 2000s beloved by Canadians who watched them as kids and FAR BETTER representations of Canadian cartoons than the more notorious and much-maligned series like ''Johnny Test'' and ''Almost Naked Animals'' that gained attention worldwide during the late 2000s/early 2010s... And yet despite that barely anybody outside of Canada has even heard of these well-crafted, thoroughly entertaining, and genuinely funny shows!

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBaskervilles'' is an unfortunately forgotten series. It's about a British family that wouldn't be out of place in an stereotypical "happy family" sitcom that moves to [[{{Hell}} "Underworld Theme Park"]] under invitation from [[{{Satan}} "Lucifer III"]], and they perfectly enjoy their new life to Lucifer's annoyance. It's a charmingly macabre show that would be best described as a less wacky ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' (They are both from Creator/{{Teletoon}}) mixed with ''The Addams Family''. It's got an interesting premise, decent animation, and some fairly memorable characters, but it remains very obscure with a small fanbase.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/BoltsAndBlip''

* The way people talk about ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'' makes it sound like an utterly atrocious series, but what people are missing out on is a series that is actually very enjoyable with its fun characters, creative stories, good humour, and a ''Gravity Falls'' vibe. Unfortunately, it got ScrewedByTheNetwork in USA,and thus its second and third seasons were never aired outside of Canada.

%%*''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}''
* Another hidden gem from Canada is ''WesternAnimation/ChopChopNinja''. There are just so many reasons to like this cartoon. Fantastic action scenes; excellent animation; a chibi artstyle that managed to be both appealing and effective; plenty of enjoyable characters; some really exciting episodes; and an overarching storyline that can genuinely keep a viewer eager to see more. It's honestly such a shame that it ended on a cliffhanger, because it totally deserved a second season.

* ''WesternAnimation/DelilahAndJulius'' is a series from Teletoon that's got a lot of great spy-movie-style action and intrigue, as well as a lot of good chemistry between its title characters.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/DexHamiltonAlienEntomologist''
%%* ''WesternAnimation/DiGataDefenders''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' gets a lot of crap for its superficial similarities to ''Star vs the Forces of Evil'', but what viewers are missing out on is a very entertaining and well-crafted series with a fun cast of enjoyable characters, nicely written stories that occasionally prove surprisingly ambitious, excellent animation with a nice artstyle, some creative takes on common fantasy tropes (including some nice world-building, a lot of neat ideas that are executed well, and some truly crazy monsters) and plenty of exciting action scenes. Sadly, the series was ''colossaly'' ScrewedByTheNetwork and ended up running for only a single season.
%%* WesternAnimation/{{Fantomcat}}

* ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'' is a really funny and genuinely wholesome young child show from Canada with a great protagonist (and an endearing supporting cast), smart writing that departed great lessons (especially about stuff like creativity and problem-solving) for its young viewers without talking down on them, and a really awesome theme song. Yet sadly, it never seems to get as much attention or love as similarly well-crafted preschooler/elementary-aimed productions like ''Franklin'' and ''Arthur''.

* ''WesternAnimation/LeagueOfSuperEvil'' is a Canadian cartoon that manages to be well animated, hilarious, and have fun storylines. Few {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s have been just as fun to watch than Voltar, Doktor Frogg, Red Menace, and Doomageddon. Unfortunately, only '''7''' of its 52 episodes ever aired outside of Canada, and they aired at a time when Cartoon Network was starting to fill their airwaves with live-action shows and cheap Canadian imports over original series, so everybody either instantly dismissed it as crap or never noticed it.

* ''WesternAnimation/LifesAZoo'' is an award-winning Canadian series that does an excellent job parodying the reality TV genre with funny and self-aware writing, an enjoyable cast of characters that excel at satirizing their reality show stereotypes, plenty of excellent music videos, and a well-made stop-motion animation style that helps it stick out from similar series like ''Total Drama'' and ''Drawn Together''. Definitely work checking out if you're a fan of the aforementioned series.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyDadTheRockStar''. It's funny, it's sweet, it has some truly likeable characters, and it's got some really nice themes about family and growing up. It's really a lot better than you would expect from a cartoon created by Gene Simmons; it's really a {{Celebrity Toon|s}} done right and with a lot of heart put into it.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyGoldfishIsEvil'' is a Canadian cartoon with a weird but extremely enjoyable premise that's a lot like ''WesternAnimation/KidVsKat'' but better executed. It's got some funny stories, some very good animation, and an immensely entertaining eponymous villain.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mysticons}}''
* ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'' was a CanadianSeries with a nice artstyle, good characters, and fun writing that gets no attention due to premiering around the same time and [[Creator/FoxKids channel]] as fellow Creator/{{Teletoon}} creations ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' and ''WesternAnimation/MegaBabies'' (which are incredibly disliked).

* ''WesternAnimation/PackagesFromPlanetX'' is a really fun and hilarious sci-fi cartoon from Canada with great characters and a lot of entertaining stories that really go all out with the premise. Unfortunately, it got ScrewedByTheNetwork in USA and only lasted one season as a result.

%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Redwall}}''
%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Redakai}}''
%%* ''WesternAnimation/RickySprocketShowbizBoy''
* ''WesternAnimation/RoboRoach'' is a funny and quirky little Canadian cartoon that had some great characters and nice animation, as well as an awesome theme song. You'd be surprised at how entertaining a cartoon about cockroaches can be, as well as how loveable the eponymous character is despite his stupidity.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'' receives A LOT of bile for its SpinoffBabies premise, but honestly, it's rather unfair to dismiss the series for being more childish, given that it's SUPPOSED to be for a younger audience than [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama the original show]]. If one watches the show on its own merit, they'll find it to be a cute, colorful, and funny little series that has some much improved animation compared to the original show, an incredibly adorable cast of characters, a childlike charm to it, and even a good track record at avoiding many of the faults of the original show that led to its SeasonalRot after ''Island''. Like ''Teen Titans Go!'', it's honestly an ultimately harmless series that is perfectly enjoyable by itself.

* ''WesternAnimation/WeirdYears'' was a sweet and hilarious cartoon from Canada about a quirky but endearing family from Eastern Europe who have immigrated to Canada. Its main characters were very likeable, its themes on family and immigration were very nice, and had some great {{parental bonus}}es, even by Canadian cartoon standards.

* ''WesternAnimation/WillasWildLife'' is a cute little cartoon about a little girl with lots of talking wild animals as pets. It's sweet and funny, and also has some really nice themes about celebrating the various forms that intelligence can take on.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishfart}}'' may sound really dumb from the title alone, but make no mistake, it is much more entertaining than you'd expect. Its got some really fun and creative stories that take BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor plots in some of the most insane directions imaginable, a distinctive cast of enjoyable characters (how many other cartoons center around a maverick leprechaun, a talking puffin, and a Japanese ghost girl as best friends?), and is actually quite hilarious (there is ''far less'' toilet humor than the title suggests). Another brilliant gem in the frequently underrated and overlooked realm of Canadian animation!

* ''WesternAnimation/SoupeOpera'' is a very [[WidgetSeries strange]] but [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome well-animated]] StopMotion series, that most people only barely remember as "[[BigLippedAlligatorMoment That short, weird thing with the fruit that appeared between other shows with no explanation.]]"

* ''WesternAnimation/TrustMeImAGenie'' is a funny, enjoyable cartoon about the adventures of a CoolLoser Camel, Diego and his wisecracking genie sidekick, Ziggy. Ziggy is a raccoon genie that comes out of a soda can and he granted Diego's first two wishes for a cafe and swimming pool. But then Ziggy got sand in his can and his magic went defective so every third wish fails. Ziggy has an obsession with being set free from his can and is always trying to sell a third wish to Diego but it always backfires much to Ziggy's annoyance. Diego has many other friends as well including a GranolaGirl bird named Zazie, an InsufferableGenius fennec fox named Joe, a scorpion with a MoneyFetish named Tony, a SurferDude lizard named Larry and an AlmightyJanitor goat shopkeep named Sonia. There is no known DVD release, English wikipedia page or even merchandise and I was responsible for creating the tvtropes page for the cartoon all by myself.

* ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel''. The series centers around the misadventures of [[ChildrenAreInnocent Orel Puppington]] as he attempts to be a good devoted Christian in a town full of misguided and hypocrite citizens. He often misunderstood the sermons given to him and takes them to an hilarious extreme. [[CerebusSyndrome Or maybe not.]] The series reached it’s peak at season 3 which followed the events of the second season’s two finale parter episode [[GutPunch “Nature”.]] [[ToneShift What initially started as a comedic satire in similar veins to shows as South Park became a through provoking and daring show, full of Heartbreaking and occasionally Heartwarming moments in it’s third and finale season.]] Unfortunately It got [[ScrewedByTheNetwork scrwed by the network]] with it’s finale season episode’s being cut in half, due to having little to no comedy in it and being too dark even for Adult Swim standards. The show hasn’t had any visible reruns since 2009. Nevertheless it helped open a gate for similar shows such as [[SpiritualSuccessor Bojack Horseman.]]
