History NoExportForYou / WesternAnimation

** In September 2023, Netflix rereleased the first two seasons of the Dutch dub, but Dutch audio's only available for the series in the Netherlands and Belgium, which means for people in North America, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the dub remains scarce]].

* Most [[CanadianSeries Canadian-produced cartoons]] fall under this trope in Japan, with some of the only ones to be released there being ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'', ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'', ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'', ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'', ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' and various streaming series (such as Netflix, Prime Video or Apple TV+).

* The Japanese version of ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' dubbed select episodes of the series. For instance, ''[[Film/KingKong1976 Kong!]]'' and ''[[Film/RoboCop1987 Robomunk]]'' were the only episode from ''The Chipmunks Go To The Movies'' to be dubbed in Japanese.

* For the longest time, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' series was never brodcast in Japan. Several of the multipart episodes (such as "Bender's Big Score") have broadcast on WOWOW, but [[NoDubForYou subtitled rather than dubbed]]. The entire was then made available on the Star catalogue of Japanese Disney+, albeit subtitled yet again. This is especially odd, considering that Groening's later Netflix series ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'' received a full dubbing treatment, ''including its original teaser advert''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' had an Italian dub similar to other Nicktoons of the time, but it only aired once and only covered the first 6 episodes. The dub is mostly considered lost nowdays.

* While plenty of Canada's animated series have aired in the United States, there are also a significant number that haven't -- most of which are, unsurprisingly, extremely obscure outside of Canada. Examples include ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', ''WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishfart}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ThreeAmigonauts'', ''WesternAnimation/ChucksChoice'', ''WesternAnimation/ChopChopNinja'', ''WesternAnimation/FredsHead'', ''WesternAnimation/DelilahAndJulius'', ''WesternAnimation/UrbanVermin'',"WesternAnimation/ProducingParker" and ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow''.

* The entire series of ''WesternAnimation/{{Stanley}}'' was released on iTunes Germany along with the original English Season 2 for some reason. Aside from two DVD and VHS releases, a direct-to-video movie and an extremely rare VHS release of the episodes "Baby Pictures" and "Up the Apple Tree", the USA didn't have the same luck.

* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat: Special Delivery Service'' hasn't aired in the US at all, thanks to Creator/{{Dreamworks}}' acquisition of Classic Media's properties wiping out all of their qubo programming save for ''WesternAnimation/GuessWithJess'' (ironically, it's a SpinOff of ''Postman Pat'') and ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins''.

* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' was in danger of this in America with anything past the third season once [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]]' broadcast rights were revoked. The show's company, Rainbow, is now co-owned by Creator/{{ViacomCBS}}, and Nickelodeon has aired the fourth season along with new seasons they co-produced.

* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyDinkyDoo'' never aired in Scandinavia (except Iceland), the Netherlands, Russia, nor China under any capacity.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Llanargollen}}''. Never heard of it? Expected that much, considering it's an obscure Welsh series that was ''only'' ever aired in Wales [[note]]well, you ''could'' watch it in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as S4C briadcasts nationallly in the UK[[/note]]. It was never distributed internationally, not even an English dub for British audiences, and your best bet is the series airing on [=S4C=] with English subtitles. And even in its home country, it still [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes has no home media or proper streaming release]][[note]]Episodes ''can'' be viewed on the BBC [=iPlayer=], but only as they air, and they only last for 30 days before being taken off until the next rerun[[/note]].
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' has yet to see seasons 6 and 7 to release in a LOT of countries other that Europe and Asia.[[note]]It's available in Latin America on CN and Boomerang, but still![[/note]] Ukraine[[note]]PlusPlus[[/note]], France[[note]]Gulli, Canal J, and La Trois[[/note]], Southeast Asia[[note]] Cartoon Network and Boomerang[[/note]] and the Middle East[[note]]Gulli Arabia[[/note]] have some far aired seasons 4–7 fully ''uncensored''. Weird because the Middle East is known to censor shows a lot. Seasons 3-7 have yet to be released on direct-to-video for the Arabic translation that was aired on the Moroccan channel [=2M=].

* WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic only airs in The Philippines and Singapore, on a terrestrial channel, in the South-East Asian region. Boomerang is uninterested in airing it on their feed in the region (and the app is not available in the region), it's not on HBO Go Asia, and Netflix does not have it.

* The original run of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' was never aired in Albania for unknown reasons.

* Practically none of the ''Franchise/{{DCAU}}'' has received a Region 2 [=DVD=] release except for an incomplete two-volume release of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' that was exclusive to the [=HMV=] store chain, and a few kid-oriented ''Justice League'' and ''Superman'' [=DVDs=] with a couple of randomly selected episodes on each.

* ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy In Toyland]]'' is the only post-90's Noddy series not to be aired on TV in the United States.

* As of Season 1, ''WesternAnimation/FacesMusicParty'' can only be seen in the United States.

* ''WesternAnimation/Pinky Dinky Doo'' never aired in Scandinavia (except Iceland), the Netherlands, Russia, nor China under any capacity.

* The third ''WesternAnimation/RobbieTheReindeer'' short, "Close Encounters of the Herd Kind", aired exactly once on BBC and is only available on the UK-exclusive "Whole Herd" DVD and nowhere else. Never aired in the United States, it is impossible to find/watch outside the aforementioned UK DVD release, though given the quality of the short in comparison to its predecessors, probably for good reason.

* ''WesternAnimation/PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville'', being a show that was rather popular amongst young girls in European countries, did not have any record of it airing in any Asian country except for China. Even its merchandise are limited, with most of it being European-exclusive or even exclusive to Italy, where the show was ''even more'' popular since it was where it came from, after all.

* As of this writing, the Disney Junior short series ''WesternAnimation/NinaNeedsToGo'' has only been dubbed in seven languages other than English: Italian (to make matters worse, it's localized and has edits to the point where some episodes are only '''30 seconds long'''), Korean (which [[ShortRunInPeru aired the season 2 episodes months before their American and British premieres]]), Spanish, French, Greek, Polish and Japanese ([[LateExportForYou which is the most recent dub, premiering three years after it aired in the US]]).
