* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' seems to have become for Millennial parents what Barney was for their Gen X predecessors, so much that the trope could've been renamed for Caillou. Those jokes about him having cancer or being bald from chemotherapy speak volumes. Aside from moms who have had experiences with their children copying the titular character's tantrums, parents make up only a small percentage of haters here--much, much more of the hatedom comes from high school students who (aside from wanting to look "adult" to their peers) simply hate the show for being slow, and 9-year-old Website/GoAnimate users who dislike the show because the titular character tends to whine a lot in the earlier seasons.

* Any AnimatedShockComedy tends to have a Periphery Hatedom among [[TheFundamentalist deeply religious individuals]] and MoralGuardians, as well as those who just find the cartoons distasteful or offensive. Examples include ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', and shows created by Creator/SethMacFarlane, mainly ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and especially ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'' (While ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' has its detractors, it's considered significantly better and the best of the three [=MacFarlane=] shows). These shows do, however, have many fans who are deeply religious (especially ''South Park'').
** ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has also often found itself being slammed by conservative Americans due to its liberal politics and the increasing amount of AuthorTract in [[SeasonalRot later seasons]].
* If a British children's book is adapted into an animated show, expect there to be people who are fans of the source material and don't like how the show made it LighterAndSofter and/or saccharine and childish. Examples include ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Make Way For Noddy]]'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends''. [[note]] mostly the later seasons and especially ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'', the earlier ones have many fans including those of [[Literature/TheRailwaySeries the original books]].[[/note]] ''Make Way For Noddy'' also has a huge hatedom among the [=GoAnimate=]/“GOOD USER/BAD USER” community due to the titular character always acting positive and falling for the goblins' tricks. This has resulted in Noddy appearing in more grounded videos than more mainstream characters such as [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues Joe]] or [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AbbyHatcher'' has a huge hatedom of parents who despise it because of the Fuzzlies teaching kids to speak improperly (one example is how several characters say "me" instead of "I").
* There are parents who hate ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' due to them having inappropriate things that shouldn't really be in a children's show and/or thinking that the shows' trippy imagery might encourage kids to take drugs.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' gets this from people who think the characters are bland, find the animation and plotline dull, saccharine characters like the Fobs and it being one of a few shows that led to the beginning of the end of [[SaturdayMorningCartoon Saturday morning cartoons]], as complaints concerning shows like it begun the Children's Television Act. Even the networks that aired it hated it and tried to pretend that it didn't exist by airing it in [[FridayNightDeathSlot early morning timeslots]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' is often called the worst of Creator/CartoonNetwork's late 2000s/early 2010s crop of Canadian imports, possibly even below the infamous ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', by adult fans of CN, who loathe its cheap animation, ugly character designs, grating theme song, annoying characters, and heavy grossout humor. However, the show was apparently popular enough with younger viewers that it got nominated for one Gemini Award and ''three'' Canadian Screen Awards, received mostly positive reviews from professional critics of children's media, and lasted for 3 seasons of 52 episodes.
* ''The High Fructose Adventures of WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange''. Not only did it irk older Cartoon Network viewers expecting better original content from the network, it also premiered as the titular webseries was experiencing backlash over its popularity.
* Even before airing, ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' got heated backlash on the Internet from fans of the past incarnations of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' series for being more comedy focused, including the redesigns and portrayal of the main characters. The fact that it came after the much-loved ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' hasn't helped matters either.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' has an enormous adult fandom, but it eventually gained a small but vocal adult hatedom. Like with other preschool shows, the hatedom also consists of those who hate it so they can look grown-up. They [[FanHater hate the fandom]] for being [[AnimationAgeGhetto fans of a children's cartoon]], as well as the show's [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids light-hearted themes]]. In addition, many members of the show’s hatedom came to dislike it because [[ItsPopularNowItSucks it’s so overwhelmingly popular and they just got sick of hearing about it.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' seems to have become for Millennial parents what Barney was for their Gen X predecessors, so much that the trope could've been renamed for Caillou. Those jokes about him having cancer or being bald from chemotherapy speak volumes. Aside from moms who have had experiences with their children copying the titular character's tantrums, parents make up only a small percentage of haters here--much, much more of the hatedom comes from high school students who (aside from wanting to look "adult" to their peers) simply hate the show for being slow, and 9-year-old Website/GoAnimate users who dislike the show because the titular character tends to whine a lot in the earlier seasons.
* ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'', mostly because many claim it to be a rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. And [[Creator/RobPaulsen one of the main voice actors on the show]] [[OldShame is part of the hatedom]]. The fact that it was co-created by Don Oriolo, the man [[ExecutiveMeddling behind the attempt to make]] ''WesternAnimation/TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'' to be more like [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatJoeOriolo his father's take on Felix]] didn't help matters and only made the hatedom even stronger.
* ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' tends to get flack from parents because of the titular character always ruining whatever task he is assigned and not getting reprimanded for it.
* ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' gets this from fans of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'', especially to people who think it's too hyper and cartoonish, and from typical [=GoAnimators=] who dislike the show simply for its art style. While most parents of the target audience adore the show, some parents find the songs annoying and the fact that some of the characters don't talk properly (like how Katerina and her mom have the VerbalTic and perseveration "meow meow"). There's also those who find it problematic due to the "Daniel Can't Get What He Wants" episode, whose message of "stomping three times makes you feel better" was interpreted as a message telling kids to have tantrums.
* Despite its acclaim and PeripheryDemographic, there is a VocalMinority of DC Comics fans and other adults that don't like ''WebAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls'' for its LighterAndSofter approach to classic heroes and villains with the biggest offender being Harley Quinn, who is DarthWiki/RuinedForever according to detractors. Many of those detractors complain specifically about her AdaptationalHeroism while having no idea that [[OlderThanTheyThink comics Harley had been an antihero for years at that point]]. Its ContinuityReboot [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls in 2019]], which was a SpiritualSuccessor of ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' with no relation to the original ''DC Super Hero Girls'', made her and other traditionally villainous characters evil again.
* The newer episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' have gotten flack from many viewers and parents because of Norman being portrayed as a bratty prankster who promises not to do any mean tricks again, but does them anyway the next time in almost every single episode; in the older version of the show, he rarely did pranks and listened to the advice of the fire team.
* Many people who liked ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' hated the U.S. Acres segments, because they were agreed by popular sources such as ''Website/PlatypusComix'' to be annoying and forgettable compared to the well-written and [[ParentalBonus adult-friendly]] Garfield segments. They eventually got a small following thanks to being liked by the strange PeripheryDemographic of ''teenage girls''. Not helping matters was that in the first three seasons, the segments always contained an almost always forced song pertaining to the moral each episode, a la ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids''. While most of these were surprisingly catchy (we're looking at you, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0slGfz_roQU Double Oh Orson theme!]]), even the aforementioned teenage girls believe Wade Duck's are the worst (except I Am A Hero) because he doesn't even sing -- he sounds like his voice actor's just energetically reading the script.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' gets a lot of flack from fans of the original ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' for [[DenserAndWackier being too wild and zany]] as well as [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the changes they made to the characters]]. These include making Garfield talk with his mouth moving, giving Jon a RelationshipUpgrade with Liz, and [[TookALevelInJerkass turning]] Nermal into an annoying {{Jerkass}} sibling-like character.
* ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' is very well-hated among parents in the UK, as it depicts a boy who continually exhibits bad behavior no matter how many times he's scolded by his parents, which often gets imitated by children who watch the show, [[https://uk.style.yahoo.com/parents-banning-children-watching-horrid-henry-104258974.html much to the disdain of their parents.]] It also gains hate from other viewers because of Henry's parents' [[ParentalFavoritism blatant favoritism]] towards [[TheScrappy Perfect Peter]], which results in Peter always [[KarmaHoudini getting away with acting like a]] [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] {{Jerkass}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/JayJayTheJetPlane'': The planes, helicopters, and staff of Terrytown Airport offer entertainment, life lessons, moral instruction for ages 2-6...and CGI characters with MotionCapture faces. Additionally, some VHS and [=DVDs=] of the show were released by Tommy Nelson--a Christian distributor, who redubbed it to insert references to Christianity even though the series wasn't originally conceived as a Christian show, to the annoyance of some non-Christians. It says a lot that when a reboot of the show with a significantly less uncanny artstyle was announced in 2021, there really wasn't as much as a backlash as one would assume.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': While it has proven popular enough with kids to be UnCanceled twice (being one of the most-watched kids shows on Netflix in 2020), the show wound up gaining a notoriously fierce hatedom over the years from countless adult cartoon fans (especially of Cartoon Network). Common complaints include its incredibly cheap animation (while the show's first season, done in digital ink and paint, had an actual budget, the Flash-animated seasons, starting with the second, had their budgets increasingly slashed), repetitive gags and jokes (with the infamous whipcrack sound made as characters move being a particular talking point), unlikeable characters (especially regarding Johnny himself, who is often seen as little more than a selfish brat by his haters), clichéd plots (accusations of the show being a ripoff of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' are especially common), and in particular Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[AdoredByTheNetwork heavy airings of the series and constant orderings of new seasons]] during the late 2000s/early 2010s. It's worth noting however this mostly applies to the original run and first UnCanceled run, as the Netflix revival has been much more warmly received by many (although it too has its share of detractors).
* ''WesternAnimation/KateAndMimMim'' has irked many parents for its main characters being annoying.
* As pointed out on the AnimationAgeGhetto page, some kids and teenagers back in the day steered clear of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' and enjoyed bashing it due to its more laid-back tone and more subtle humor compared to its [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead predecessor]], which was wildly popular among said kids and teens.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]]''. But it's [[{{Irony}} ironic]] how most of the haters are [[FandomRivalry bronies]]. The weird thing is that most of the fans are also [[FriendlyFandoms bronies]]. Being created by the same people that brought us ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', which isn't as well-liked either (it's considered average ''at best''), doesn't help matters as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' variants as FirstInstallmentWins.
** ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'', though probably not meant for anyone over the age of six, has received particular loathing not just from fans of the original cartoons, but of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''. In the latter case it's probably more out of embarrassment than anything else, since ''Tiny Toons'' fans see themselves as cool and fear being lumped in with the ''Baby Looney Tunes'' crowd.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' gained a small one from fans of the original Looney Tunes cartoons due to its focus on sitcom scenarios over the zany antics of the classic shorts. It has since been VindicatedByHistory however for its sharp humor and characterization (especially of the formerly divisive Lola Bunny).
** ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' is ''loathed'' by long-time fans of the franchise due to it reimagining the characters as {{Animesque}} superheroes.
** While ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' has its fans, many have gripes with the flat-looking art-style (sometimes drawing negative comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013''), LimitedAnimation, the new characters, and a general lack of identity.
* Most people who grew up with the Katharine Tozer Mumfie books and/or ''Here Comes Mumfie'' will hate ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' for overtaking the version they grew up with in popularity, and because it's saccharine. The opposite sometimes occurs with fans who grew up with Magic Adventures of Mumfie-they will prefer that series to the older versions. People who hate the show who did not grow up with the books or the earlier series despise the fact that only one voice does the characters (when Britt Allcroft does the two queens on the show), say that the stories and animation are bad, and find the music saccharine. One Website/{{Google}} Groups member said that all these problems made him want to [[ShootTheTelevision throw a brick at the TV whenever he heard the theme song]].
* Although ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' was very successful with young viewers during its time (being one of the channel's flagship shows during the mid-2000s), it does carry a strong hatedom with Creator/CartoonNetwork's PeripheryDemographic (mainly those who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s), whose typical complaints include the series' SadistShow qualities and frequent ToiletHumour. There are also some who just dislike the JustEatGilligan qualities behind the show's premise. However, some of said kids who watched the show have since grown up to form a small PeripheryDemographic for the show, and there are more people than not who just see it as SoOkayItsAverage.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'' has an astonishing Periphery Hatedom from both {{Anime}} fans and WesternAnimation fans. Episodes on Website/YouTube are glutted with scathing comments about the [[OffModel poor animation]] and [[ShallowParody horrendous attempts to parody manga]]. Many also point out that better {{Animesque}} series like ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' exist that don't resort to the usual pratfalls that come from Western parodies of anime, and look beautiful. 4chan even called out the series for its glaring ignorance of the medium. However, considering how ScrewedByTheNetwork the show was in its origin country of Canada, it seems the network liked it even less than the fandoms did.
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' developed one in Asia. The networks didn't consider the consequence of having a show that's already airing on a different network on its own network. Oggy airs on '''all of the big three''' networks in Asia: Creator/DisneyChannel, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, ''and'' Creator/CartoonNetwork, in addition to several country-specific networks. Understandably, people who do not like the show (or slapstick humor like those presented by ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' and ''Series/MrBean'' as a whole) are having a hard time avoiding it, thus deepening their dislike for it, which is certainly not helped by how the series is AdoredByTheNetwork on all three channels.
* ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'', despite being filled with nothing but appreciation for the original game and classic gaming in general both stylistically and in the form of {{Mythology Gag}}s and homages, gets flack from adults because of its reinterpretation of the plot (despite the original game having had no plot to speak of), in particular the loads of new characters, as well as what some claim is an over-reliance on ToiletHumour (though it doesn't have more than most other animated kids' shows). It still does well with its "target audience," despite the fact they're probably too young to understand a lot of its influence.
* While ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' is a preschool show that many parents say is tolerable, it gets this from people who think that the voices are annoying and the animation is ugly (which are typically the bored teenagers who seem to make up the vast majority of the PreschoolShow hatedom). There are also parents who believe that [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2084021/Is-Peppa-Pig-making-toddlers-naughty-Parents-despair-children-copy-cartoon-answering-back.html the show inspires kids to have bad behavior]].
* Unlike its contemporaries, ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' got a huge hatedom due to being perceived as [[GirlShowGhetto too girly]] and "not educational" in the eyes of some parents, as well as [=GoAnimate=] users. Many (even outside of the aforementioned groups) have criticized the main character's speech pattern of sticking "pink" onto every single world, the title of the show allegedly [[MemeticMutation sounding like a porn title]], and the excessive amount of {{Satellite Character}}s.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' developed one among adult fans of more popular contemporary Creator/CartoonNetwork shows of its day (namely ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''), partly because of its SensoryAbuse. Because of this, its second season was never broadcast on Cartoon Network, and was instead made as a Netflix exclusive [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes before the show was removed entirely from the platform.]] Since then, it has gained a reputation with CN's PeripheryDemographic as one of CN Studios' worst original creations.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel''. Much like ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'', the show often got accused of copying ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. However, this isn't the case, as [[AdaptationDisplacement the show is an adaption of a children's book series]], a popular trend for Canadian cartoons. Even then, the show still got a lot of hate from people for being an extremely InNameOnly adaptation
* ''WesternAnimation/SecretMountainFortAwesome'' was supremely loathed by the same fans who disliked its predecessor ''Uncle Grandpa'' or ''The Problem Solverz'', due to its infamy as a GrossoutShow, and many finding its characters to be incredibly ugly and its sense of humor to be way too stupid for them. Its negative recption from the channel's PeripheryDemographic led to Creator/CartoonNetwork cancelling the show after its second season and dumping the last eight episodes to [=iTunes=]. Unlike ''Uncle Grandpa'', it hasn't been VindicatedByHistory since and most longtime CN fans think of it as one of CN Studios' worst shows alongside ''The Problem Solverz''.
* ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' gets this from people who despise the digital puppetry used for the show. It's also been ridiculed in multiple [=GoAnimate=] videos.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'', which had all of the hatred of people who never watched it a good decade before Barney did. One defunct site even pointed out various chilling similarities while comparing The Smurfs to the KKK, though most haters usually [[RedScare compare them to]] [[DirtyCommunists communists]] instead.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' has become loathed by adult Marvel fans who find the show too comedic and immature compared to other Marvel cartoons from the same period, or the comic with the same name.
** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' in particular have a special loathing for it as many feel the show is not a worthy successor to ''Spectacular'', which was aimed at a slightly older audience and was known for its plotting and characterization which ''Ultimate'' isn't. Others simply take their frustration on ''Spectacular'' being cancelled ([[ScrewedByTheLawyers for an unforeseen rights issue caused by the Disney/Marvel deal]]) on it. ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', which replaced the much-loved ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', receives similar sentiments for the same reasons.
* ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'' developed a Periphery Hatedom with older Cartoon Network fans during the mid-to-late 2000s, many of whom saw it as a dull series that completely failed to live up to Everett Peck's previous cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'' (though the two have very different audiences).
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is known for its huge PeripheryDemographic, but at the same time has garnered a lot of dislike from other groups who dislike it for reasons ranging from HypeBacklash (due to controversial events within the more notorious parts of the fandom) to being, um, "feminist-friendly" (due to the wide range of body types and fashion and the presence of several gay and bisexual characters).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' became a target of vitriol for ''Johnny Test'''s Periphery Hatedom upon announcement solely for having the same creator. It certainly didn't help at the time that Creator/CartoonNetwork's PeripheryDemographic was getting sick of the prominence of Canadian imports on the channel at the time (a trend that started in 2007-2009). While some ultimately warmed up to the series (or at least found it SoOkayItsAverage) once it actually debuted, many attempted to justify their hate of the show by claiming it had cliche plotlines and that the child characters were all extremely selfish brats. Regardless of what CN's adult fans thought of the show, it seems Cartoon Network didn't care for it either, as they [[ScrewedByTheNetwork didn't air reruns and punted it around its schedule]] before pawning it off on Creator/{{Hulu}}. Canadian imports were largely phased out of the channel shortly afterwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'' has several problem areas because many parents don't like the ViewersAreMorons plotlines, and fairy tale fans hate the Disneyfication of the fairy tales presented to the point of being politically correct.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}:''
** While the original cartoon now enjoys a massive fandom, it saw hate from older DC fans during its original run, with that group loathing its {{Animesque}} style, its [[ComedyGhetto comedic bent]], and that it was LighterAndSofter than both the comics and then-concurrently running Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse shows, with the writing and characters being seen as overly childish. Even as the show gained in popularity with this group, the comedy aspect of the series remained as the biggest point of criticism, with many bemoaning it as the worst element of the cartoon.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a massive hatedom from fans of both [[ComicBook/TeenTitans the original comics]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 the 2003 cartoon]], due to it being a DenserAndWackier BlackComedy series that portrays the team ([[TokenGoodTeammate except for Starfire]]) as a barely-held-together group of loons that abuse each other as much as they do the villains. The [[TakeThatCritics potshots it takes at fans of the original cartoon]] don't help, nor does the fact that Cartoon Network kept it going for nine years [[AdoredByTheNetwork by airing excessive reruns and constantly ordering new seasons]]. Many post-2013 Cartoon Network series have either been abruptly cancelled for whatever reason or have received little to no promotion and few, if any reruns (virtually guaranteeing their eventual cancellations). The series has also been MisBlamed for the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' and is the first CN series to get [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies a theatrical movie]] in sixteen years. It does have its fans, though, and the movie has turned out to be well-received even by some members of the show's hatedom.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageFairytaleDropouts'' got a ton of flak just for its premise and artstyle (the former also getting attacks because of the title creating a few UnfortunateImplications, even though the characters are actually still in high school). Before release, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic bronies]] in particular hated it [[FanDumb merely because]] one of the supporting characters was a non-sentient unicorn who appeared to be there for comic relief. Being released on the heels of Creator/{{Mattel}}'s Toys/EverAfterHigh series didn't help.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar'' received very fierce backlash the moment it was announced for its art style being similar to ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' (among others), and being a comedy-driven adaptation of an action series coming off the heels of the wildly-divisive ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. Others hate it because it's not ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' (which, ironically, also got hated when it first aired, albeit for different reasons). ''Roar'''s [[YMMV/ThunderCatsRoar YMMV page]] was locked almost immediately after its creation due to excessive complaining, and its scores on review sites are extremely low due to excessive review bombing. The show eventually ended up getting cancelled after just a single season.
* Ever since its announcement, ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'' got an extremely sizable hatedom, consisting of fans of the original series (mostly teens or adults), a surprising chunk of parents, and a bunch of tryhard internet reviewers. Primarily fuelled by TheyChangedItNowItSucks, many people were furious over the fact that the train characters in the show could move cartoonishly, unlike the original series' relaxed, realistic movements. Others complained about the drastic change of tone, and some people have even outright advocated for Mattel to bring back the original iteration of the series. However, among the hatebase, there has also been a sizable fanbase to go along with it
* Continuations of ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' often get flak from fans of the classic shorts due to a combination of FirstInstallmentWins and LighterAndSofter (to wit, much like ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' mentioned above, the original shorts were aimed at a more adult audience before the AnimationAgeGhetto struck, which caused the franchise to become associated with children).
** ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow'' from 1975 gets this because it retools the titular duo into friends and gets rid of the violence for the most part, with dull shenanigans taking their place. Joseph Barbera claimed that ExecutiveMeddling caused the drastically lighter tone.
--->'''Joseph Barbera:''' We ran into a stone wall because some citizens, for the protection of the children of the world, have decided cartoons are evil, that they're violent and full of mayhem. We showed [ABC] five of the old "Tom and Jerrys" and they laughed so hard, they had tears in their eyes. Then they said "We can't use them. If we put those on, we'll get killed."
** While ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryComedyShow'' is better-regarded than ''The Tom and Jerry Show (1975)'' due to returning to the classic formula, many feel that the [[LimitedAnimation very poor animation]], monotonous soundtrack, and constant reuse of footage affects the pacing negatively. Also, in spite of the classic formula returning, the series is still much less violent than the originals. It doesn't help that much like the contentious Creator/GeneDeitch era, the rivalry between the two is extremely one-sided in Jerry's favor.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToopyAndBinoo'', a Canadian preschool show, has seen complaints from ThinkOfTheChildren type, more conservative moms and parent groups due to the title characters' frequent [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing]] and use of the word "fabulous", leading said moms/parent groups to believe that the characters are CampGay and are presenting LGBTQ+ concepts to children too young to make an informed decision on the matter, without an attempt to educate them on the topic. Regardless, the show's target audience is fine with it, as are more open-minded parents.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' can sometimes suffer from this. On the one hand, you have the GEEWUNNERS, who, through a combination of NostalgiaFilter and TheyChangedItNowItSucks, vent their spite towards most incarnations of the franchise (especially newer ones) except the original shows (''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and its sequel series ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'') -- this trope is blatant when their hate is directed towards the cartoon shows such as the Unicron Trilogy or ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''. On the other hand, you have fans of the newer franchises who hate ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' (which is very, ''very'' unambiguously a kids' SaturdayMorningCartoon) due to its {{Camp}} value and HypeBacklash caused by nostalgic fans' love for the original series (a GEEWUNNER or otherwise). The franchise[[note]]except perhaps [[Film/{{Transformers}} the live-action movies]][[/note]] is primarily targeted towards children no matter what the older fans say, especially concerning ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' (the cartoon one).
* ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' had a pretty fierce one among adult fans of the major Creator/CartoonNetwork shows of the day (''Adventure Time'', ''Regular Show'', and ''The Amazing World of Gumball'') when it originally debuted on Cartoon Network in 2013, with many calling it one of the network's worst original series, in part due to its extremely strange premise [[MST3KMantra (the kind that really shouldn't be considered seriously)]] and [[SurrealHumor humor]] turning them off. It certainly didn't help that the highly acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' debuted around the same time (and there was actually quite the backlash when the {{Crossover}} "Say Uncle" was announced), or that the title character shared some of the same traits as Barney himself. This largely died down in the years following the show's cancellation, and the series has been VindicatedByHistory with many due to newfound appreciation for its unique tone and execution, its masterful usage of DerangedAnimation, and the fact that series creator Pete Browngardt would later go on to do major work on several acclaimed projects like ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons''.
* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'': Part of it is because of the vandalism caused by fans of the show to random pages on [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]]. But there's a fair amount of hate from non-Christians, too, for being a religious show for young kids (though there is a PeripheryDemographic among the same segment too). ''[=VeggieTales=]'' tends to have enough ParentalBonus (usually in the form of pop cultural references — e.g., [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the French peas guarding the wall of Jericho]]) to avoid the "babyish" criticism from adults, though.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'' is loathed by classic animation fans who see it as a complete insult to [[Creator/TexAvery the man it was named after]]. Their typical complaints about the series involve how the show [[InNameOnly has nothing to do with Avery's cartoons]], its ''extremely'' annoying theme song, and how the series replaced ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon'' (which carries great nostalgic value for many of these people) [[http://www.toonzone.net/tex-avery-the-wacky-world-of/ in some parts of the United States.]]
* Ever since The Jim Henson Company ventured into CGI animation, many vocal Muppet fans have called foul on various social media sites, saying that the company should stick to puppets and not venture out to other media. There is no real explanation for this behavior except for the irrational fear of TheyChangedItNowItSucks. ''WesternAnimation/WordParty'', for example, was compared to ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' even before the show premiered. That's not even taking into the fact that the late Creator/JimHenson himself didn't want to stick with puppets and experimented other forms of media.
----
** ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has also often found itself being slammed by conservative Americans due to its liberal politics and the increasing amount of AuthorTract in [[SeasonalRot later seasons]].
* If a British children's book is adapted into an animated show, expect there to be people who are fans of the source material and don't like how the show made it LighterAndSofter and/or saccharine and childish. Examples include ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Make Way For Noddy]]'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends''. [[note]] mostly the later seasons and especially ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'', the earlier ones have many fans including those of [[Literature/TheRailwaySeries the original books]].[[/note]] ''Make Way For Noddy'' also has a huge hatedom among the [=GoAnimate=]/“GOOD USER/BAD USER” community due to the titular character always acting positive and falling for the goblins' tricks. This has resulted in Noddy appearing in more grounded videos than more mainstream characters such as [[WesternAnimation/BluesClues Joe]] or [[Series/SesameStreet Elmo]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AbbyHatcher'' has a huge hatedom of parents who despise it because of the Fuzzlies teaching kids to speak improperly (one example is how several characters say "me" instead of "I").
* There are parents who hate ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' due to them having inappropriate things that shouldn't really be in a children's show and/or thinking that the shows' trippy imagery might encourage kids to take drugs.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' gets this from people who think the characters are bland, find the animation and plotline dull, saccharine characters like the Fobs and it being one of a few shows that led to the beginning of the end of [[SaturdayMorningCartoon Saturday morning cartoons]], as complaints concerning shows like it begun the Children's Television Act. Even the networks that aired it hated it and tried to pretend that it didn't exist by airing it in [[FridayNightDeathSlot early morning timeslots]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' is often called the worst of Creator/CartoonNetwork's late 2000s/early 2010s crop of Canadian imports, possibly even below the infamous ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', by adult fans of CN, who loathe its cheap animation, ugly character designs, grating theme song, annoying characters, and heavy grossout humor. However, the show was apparently popular enough with younger viewers that it got nominated for one Gemini Award and ''three'' Canadian Screen Awards, received mostly positive reviews from professional critics of children's media, and lasted for 3 seasons of 52 episodes.
* ''The High Fructose Adventures of WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange''. Not only did it irk older Cartoon Network viewers expecting better original content from the network, it also premiered as the titular webseries was experiencing backlash over its popularity.
* Even before airing, ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' got heated backlash on the Internet from fans of the past incarnations of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' series for being more comedy focused, including the redesigns and portrayal of the main characters. The fact that it came after the much-loved ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated'' hasn't helped matters either.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' has an enormous adult fandom, but it eventually gained a small but vocal adult hatedom. Like with other preschool shows, the hatedom also consists of those who hate it so they can look grown-up. They [[FanHater hate the fandom]] for being [[AnimationAgeGhetto fans of a children's cartoon]], as well as the show's [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids light-hearted themes]]. In addition, many members of the show’s hatedom came to dislike it because [[ItsPopularNowItSucks it’s so overwhelmingly popular and they just got sick of hearing about it.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' seems to have become for Millennial parents what Barney was for their Gen X predecessors, so much that the trope could've been renamed for Caillou. Those jokes about him having cancer or being bald from chemotherapy speak volumes. Aside from moms who have had experiences with their children copying the titular character's tantrums, parents make up only a small percentage of haters here--much, much more of the hatedom comes from high school students who (aside from wanting to look "adult" to their peers) simply hate the show for being slow, and 9-year-old Website/GoAnimate users who dislike the show because the titular character tends to whine a lot in the earlier seasons.
* ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'', mostly because many claim it to be a rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. And [[Creator/RobPaulsen one of the main voice actors on the show]] [[OldShame is part of the hatedom]]. The fact that it was co-created by Don Oriolo, the man [[ExecutiveMeddling behind the attempt to make]] ''WesternAnimation/TheTwistedTalesOfFelixTheCat'' to be more like [[WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatJoeOriolo his father's take on Felix]] didn't help matters and only made the hatedom even stronger.
* ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' tends to get flack from parents because of the titular character always ruining whatever task he is assigned and not getting reprimanded for it.
* ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'' gets this from fans of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'', especially to people who think it's too hyper and cartoonish, and from typical [=GoAnimators=] who dislike the show simply for its art style. While most parents of the target audience adore the show, some parents find the songs annoying and the fact that some of the characters don't talk properly (like how Katerina and her mom have the VerbalTic and perseveration "meow meow"). There's also those who find it problematic due to the "Daniel Can't Get What He Wants" episode, whose message of "stomping three times makes you feel better" was interpreted as a message telling kids to have tantrums.
* Despite its acclaim and PeripheryDemographic, there is a VocalMinority of DC Comics fans and other adults that don't like ''WebAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls'' for its LighterAndSofter approach to classic heroes and villains with the biggest offender being Harley Quinn, who is DarthWiki/RuinedForever according to detractors. Many of those detractors complain specifically about her AdaptationalHeroism while having no idea that [[OlderThanTheyThink comics Harley had been an antihero for years at that point]]. Its ContinuityReboot [[WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls in 2019]], which was a SpiritualSuccessor of ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' with no relation to the original ''DC Super Hero Girls'', made her and other traditionally villainous characters evil again.
* The newer episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' have gotten flack from many viewers and parents because of Norman being portrayed as a bratty prankster who promises not to do any mean tricks again, but does them anyway the next time in almost every single episode; in the older version of the show, he rarely did pranks and listened to the advice of the fire team.
* Many people who liked ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' hated the U.S. Acres segments, because they were agreed by popular sources such as ''Website/PlatypusComix'' to be annoying and forgettable compared to the well-written and [[ParentalBonus adult-friendly]] Garfield segments. They eventually got a small following thanks to being liked by the strange PeripheryDemographic of ''teenage girls''. Not helping matters was that in the first three seasons, the segments always contained an almost always forced song pertaining to the moral each episode, a la ''WesternAnimation/FatAlbertAndTheCosbyKids''. While most of these were surprisingly catchy (we're looking at you, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0slGfz_roQU Double Oh Orson theme!]]), even the aforementioned teenage girls believe Wade Duck's are the worst (except I Am A Hero) because he doesn't even sing -- he sounds like his voice actor's just energetically reading the script.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow'' gets a lot of flack from fans of the original ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' for [[DenserAndWackier being too wild and zany]] as well as [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the changes they made to the characters]]. These include making Garfield talk with his mouth moving, giving Jon a RelationshipUpgrade with Liz, and [[TookALevelInJerkass turning]] Nermal into an annoying {{Jerkass}} sibling-like character.
* ''WesternAnimation/HorridHenry'' is very well-hated among parents in the UK, as it depicts a boy who continually exhibits bad behavior no matter how many times he's scolded by his parents, which often gets imitated by children who watch the show, [[https://uk.style.yahoo.com/parents-banning-children-watching-horrid-henry-104258974.html much to the disdain of their parents.]] It also gains hate from other viewers because of Henry's parents' [[ParentalFavoritism blatant favoritism]] towards [[TheScrappy Perfect Peter]], which results in Peter always [[KarmaHoudini getting away with acting like a]] [[SpoiledBrat spoiled]] {{Jerkass}}.
* ''WesternAnimation/JayJayTheJetPlane'': The planes, helicopters, and staff of Terrytown Airport offer entertainment, life lessons, moral instruction for ages 2-6...and CGI characters with MotionCapture faces. Additionally, some VHS and [=DVDs=] of the show were released by Tommy Nelson--a Christian distributor, who redubbed it to insert references to Christianity even though the series wasn't originally conceived as a Christian show, to the annoyance of some non-Christians. It says a lot that when a reboot of the show with a significantly less uncanny artstyle was announced in 2021, there really wasn't as much as a backlash as one would assume.
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': While it has proven popular enough with kids to be UnCanceled twice (being one of the most-watched kids shows on Netflix in 2020), the show wound up gaining a notoriously fierce hatedom over the years from countless adult cartoon fans (especially of Cartoon Network). Common complaints include its incredibly cheap animation (while the show's first season, done in digital ink and paint, had an actual budget, the Flash-animated seasons, starting with the second, had their budgets increasingly slashed), repetitive gags and jokes (with the infamous whipcrack sound made as characters move being a particular talking point), unlikeable characters (especially regarding Johnny himself, who is often seen as little more than a selfish brat by his haters), clichéd plots (accusations of the show being a ripoff of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' are especially common), and in particular Creator/CartoonNetwork's [[AdoredByTheNetwork heavy airings of the series and constant orderings of new seasons]] during the late 2000s/early 2010s. It's worth noting however this mostly applies to the original run and first UnCanceled run, as the Netflix revival has been much more warmly received by many (although it too has its share of detractors).
* ''WesternAnimation/KateAndMimMim'' has irked many parents for its main characters being annoying.
* As pointed out on the AnimationAgeGhetto page, some kids and teenagers back in the day steered clear of ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' and enjoyed bashing it due to its more laid-back tone and more subtle humor compared to its [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead predecessor]], which was wildly popular among said kids and teens.
* ''[[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 Littlest Pet Shop]]''. But it's [[{{Irony}} ironic]] how most of the haters are [[FandomRivalry bronies]]. The weird thing is that most of the fans are also [[FriendlyFandoms bronies]]. Being created by the same people that brought us ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'', which isn't as well-liked either (it's considered average ''at best''), doesn't help matters as well.
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' variants as FirstInstallmentWins.
** ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'', though probably not meant for anyone over the age of six, has received particular loathing not just from fans of the original cartoons, but of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''. In the latter case it's probably more out of embarrassment than anything else, since ''Tiny Toons'' fans see themselves as cool and fear being lumped in with the ''Baby Looney Tunes'' crowd.
** ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' gained a small one from fans of the original Looney Tunes cartoons due to its focus on sitcom scenarios over the zany antics of the classic shorts. It has since been VindicatedByHistory however for its sharp humor and characterization (especially of the formerly divisive Lola Bunny).
** ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' is ''loathed'' by long-time fans of the franchise due to it reimagining the characters as {{Animesque}} superheroes.
** While ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' has its fans, many have gripes with the flat-looking art-style (sometimes drawing negative comparisons to ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013''), LimitedAnimation, the new characters, and a general lack of identity.
* Most people who grew up with the Katharine Tozer Mumfie books and/or ''Here Comes Mumfie'' will hate ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' for overtaking the version they grew up with in popularity, and because it's saccharine. The opposite sometimes occurs with fans who grew up with Magic Adventures of Mumfie-they will prefer that series to the older versions. People who hate the show who did not grow up with the books or the earlier series despise the fact that only one voice does the characters (when Britt Allcroft does the two queens on the show), say that the stories and animation are bad, and find the music saccharine. One Website/{{Google}} Groups member said that all these problems made him want to [[ShootTheTelevision throw a brick at the TV whenever he heard the theme song]].
* Although ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey'' was very successful with young viewers during its time (being one of the channel's flagship shows during the mid-2000s), it does carry a strong hatedom with Creator/CartoonNetwork's PeripheryDemographic (mainly those who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s), whose typical complaints include the series' SadistShow qualities and frequent ToiletHumour. There are also some who just dislike the JustEatGilligan qualities behind the show's premise. However, some of said kids who watched the show have since grown up to form a small PeripheryDemographic for the show, and there are more people than not who just see it as SoOkayItsAverage.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'' has an astonishing Periphery Hatedom from both {{Anime}} fans and WesternAnimation fans. Episodes on Website/YouTube are glutted with scathing comments about the [[OffModel poor animation]] and [[ShallowParody horrendous attempts to parody manga]]. Many also point out that better {{Animesque}} series like ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' exist that don't resort to the usual pratfalls that come from Western parodies of anime, and look beautiful. 4chan even called out the series for its glaring ignorance of the medium. However, considering how ScrewedByTheNetwork the show was in its origin country of Canada, it seems the network liked it even less than the fandoms did.
* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' developed one in Asia. The networks didn't consider the consequence of having a show that's already airing on a different network on its own network. Oggy airs on '''all of the big three''' networks in Asia: Creator/DisneyChannel, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, ''and'' Creator/CartoonNetwork, in addition to several country-specific networks. Understandably, people who do not like the show (or slapstick humor like those presented by ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' and ''Series/MrBean'' as a whole) are having a hard time avoiding it, thus deepening their dislike for it, which is certainly not helped by how the series is AdoredByTheNetwork on all three channels.
* ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures'', despite being filled with nothing but appreciation for the original game and classic gaming in general both stylistically and in the form of {{Mythology Gag}}s and homages, gets flack from adults because of its reinterpretation of the plot (despite the original game having had no plot to speak of), in particular the loads of new characters, as well as what some claim is an over-reliance on ToiletHumour (though it doesn't have more than most other animated kids' shows). It still does well with its "target audience," despite the fact they're probably too young to understand a lot of its influence.
* While ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' is a preschool show that many parents say is tolerable, it gets this from people who think that the voices are annoying and the animation is ugly (which are typically the bored teenagers who seem to make up the vast majority of the PreschoolShow hatedom). There are also parents who believe that [[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2084021/Is-Peppa-Pig-making-toddlers-naughty-Parents-despair-children-copy-cartoon-answering-back.html the show inspires kids to have bad behavior]].
* Unlike its contemporaries, ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' got a huge hatedom due to being perceived as [[GirlShowGhetto too girly]] and "not educational" in the eyes of some parents, as well as [=GoAnimate=] users. Many (even outside of the aforementioned groups) have criticized the main character's speech pattern of sticking "pink" onto every single world, the title of the show allegedly [[MemeticMutation sounding like a porn title]], and the excessive amount of {{Satellite Character}}s.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheProblemSolverz'' developed one among adult fans of more popular contemporary Creator/CartoonNetwork shows of its day (namely ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''), partly because of its SensoryAbuse. Because of this, its second season was never broadcast on Cartoon Network, and was instead made as a Netflix exclusive [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes before the show was removed entirely from the platform.]] Since then, it has gained a reputation with CN's PeripheryDemographic as one of CN Studios' worst original creations.
* ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel''. Much like ''WesternAnimation/CoconutFredsFruitSaladIsland'', the show often got accused of copying ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. However, this isn't the case, as [[AdaptationDisplacement the show is an adaption of a children's book series]], a popular trend for Canadian cartoons. Even then, the show still got a lot of hate from people for being an extremely InNameOnly adaptation
* ''WesternAnimation/SecretMountainFortAwesome'' was supremely loathed by the same fans who disliked its predecessor ''Uncle Grandpa'' or ''The Problem Solverz'', due to its infamy as a GrossoutShow, and many finding its characters to be incredibly ugly and its sense of humor to be way too stupid for them. Its negative recption from the channel's PeripheryDemographic led to Creator/CartoonNetwork cancelling the show after its second season and dumping the last eight episodes to [=iTunes=]. Unlike ''Uncle Grandpa'', it hasn't been VindicatedByHistory since and most longtime CN fans think of it as one of CN Studios' worst shows alongside ''The Problem Solverz''.
* ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' gets this from people who despise the digital puppetry used for the show. It's also been ridiculed in multiple [=GoAnimate=] videos.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'', which had all of the hatred of people who never watched it a good decade before Barney did. One defunct site even pointed out various chilling similarities while comparing The Smurfs to the KKK, though most haters usually [[RedScare compare them to]] [[DirtyCommunists communists]] instead.
* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':
** ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' has become loathed by adult Marvel fans who find the show too comedic and immature compared to other Marvel cartoons from the same period, or the comic with the same name.
** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan'' in particular have a special loathing for it as many feel the show is not a worthy successor to ''Spectacular'', which was aimed at a slightly older audience and was known for its plotting and characterization which ''Ultimate'' isn't. Others simply take their frustration on ''Spectacular'' being cancelled ([[ScrewedByTheLawyers for an unforeseen rights issue caused by the Disney/Marvel deal]]) on it. ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', which replaced the much-loved ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', receives similar sentiments for the same reasons.
* ''WesternAnimation/SquirrelBoy'' developed a Periphery Hatedom with older Cartoon Network fans during the mid-to-late 2000s, many of whom saw it as a dull series that completely failed to live up to Everett Peck's previous cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'' (though the two have very different audiences).
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' is known for its huge PeripheryDemographic, but at the same time has garnered a lot of dislike from other groups who dislike it for reasons ranging from HypeBacklash (due to controversial events within the more notorious parts of the fandom) to being, um, "feminist-friendly" (due to the wide range of body types and fashion and the presence of several gay and bisexual characters).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' became a target of vitriol for ''Johnny Test'''s Periphery Hatedom upon announcement solely for having the same creator. It certainly didn't help at the time that Creator/CartoonNetwork's PeripheryDemographic was getting sick of the prominence of Canadian imports on the channel at the time (a trend that started in 2007-2009). While some ultimately warmed up to the series (or at least found it SoOkayItsAverage) once it actually debuted, many attempted to justify their hate of the show by claiming it had cliche plotlines and that the child characters were all extremely selfish brats. Regardless of what CN's adult fans thought of the show, it seems Cartoon Network didn't care for it either, as they [[ScrewedByTheNetwork didn't air reruns and punted it around its schedule]] before pawning it off on Creator/{{Hulu}}. Canadian imports were largely phased out of the channel shortly afterwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'' has several problem areas because many parents don't like the ViewersAreMorons plotlines, and fairy tale fans hate the Disneyfication of the fairy tales presented to the point of being politically correct.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}:''
** While the original cartoon now enjoys a massive fandom, it saw hate from older DC fans during its original run, with that group loathing its {{Animesque}} style, its [[ComedyGhetto comedic bent]], and that it was LighterAndSofter than both the comics and then-concurrently running Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse shows, with the writing and characters being seen as overly childish. Even as the show gained in popularity with this group, the comedy aspect of the series remained as the biggest point of criticism, with many bemoaning it as the worst element of the cartoon.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' has a massive hatedom from fans of both [[ComicBook/TeenTitans the original comics]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 the 2003 cartoon]], due to it being a DenserAndWackier BlackComedy series that portrays the team ([[TokenGoodTeammate except for Starfire]]) as a barely-held-together group of loons that abuse each other as much as they do the villains. The [[TakeThatCritics potshots it takes at fans of the original cartoon]] don't help, nor does the fact that Cartoon Network kept it going for nine years [[AdoredByTheNetwork by airing excessive reruns and constantly ordering new seasons]]. Many post-2013 Cartoon Network series have either been abruptly cancelled for whatever reason or have received little to no promotion and few, if any reruns (virtually guaranteeing their eventual cancellations). The series has also been MisBlamed for the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries'' and is the first CN series to get [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies a theatrical movie]] in sixteen years. It does have its fans, though, and the movie has turned out to be well-received even by some members of the show's hatedom.
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenageFairytaleDropouts'' got a ton of flak just for its premise and artstyle (the former also getting attacks because of the title creating a few UnfortunateImplications, even though the characters are actually still in high school). Before release, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic bronies]] in particular hated it [[FanDumb merely because]] one of the supporting characters was a non-sentient unicorn who appeared to be there for comic relief. Being released on the heels of Creator/{{Mattel}}'s Toys/EverAfterHigh series didn't help.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar'' received very fierce backlash the moment it was announced for its art style being similar to ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' (among others), and being a comedy-driven adaptation of an action series coming off the heels of the wildly-divisive ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''. Others hate it because it's not ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' (which, ironically, also got hated when it first aired, albeit for different reasons). ''Roar'''s [[YMMV/ThunderCatsRoar YMMV page]] was locked almost immediately after its creation due to excessive complaining, and its scores on review sites are extremely low due to excessive review bombing. The show eventually ended up getting cancelled after just a single season.
* Ever since its announcement, ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'' got an extremely sizable hatedom, consisting of fans of the original series (mostly teens or adults), a surprising chunk of parents, and a bunch of tryhard internet reviewers. Primarily fuelled by TheyChangedItNowItSucks, many people were furious over the fact that the train characters in the show could move cartoonishly, unlike the original series' relaxed, realistic movements. Others complained about the drastic change of tone, and some people have even outright advocated for Mattel to bring back the original iteration of the series. However, among the hatebase, there has also been a sizable fanbase to go along with it
* Continuations of ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'' often get flak from fans of the classic shorts due to a combination of FirstInstallmentWins and LighterAndSofter (to wit, much like ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' mentioned above, the original shorts were aimed at a more adult audience before the AnimationAgeGhetto struck, which caused the franchise to become associated with children).
** ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryShow'' from 1975 gets this because it retools the titular duo into friends and gets rid of the violence for the most part, with dull shenanigans taking their place. Joseph Barbera claimed that ExecutiveMeddling caused the drastically lighter tone.
--->'''Joseph Barbera:''' We ran into a stone wall because some citizens, for the protection of the children of the world, have decided cartoons are evil, that they're violent and full of mayhem. We showed [ABC] five of the old "Tom and Jerrys" and they laughed so hard, they had tears in their eyes. Then they said "We can't use them. If we put those on, we'll get killed."
** While ''WesternAnimation/TheTomAndJerryComedyShow'' is better-regarded than ''The Tom and Jerry Show (1975)'' due to returning to the classic formula, many feel that the [[LimitedAnimation very poor animation]], monotonous soundtrack, and constant reuse of footage affects the pacing negatively. Also, in spite of the classic formula returning, the series is still much less violent than the originals. It doesn't help that much like the contentious Creator/GeneDeitch era, the rivalry between the two is extremely one-sided in Jerry's favor.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToopyAndBinoo'', a Canadian preschool show, has seen complaints from ThinkOfTheChildren type, more conservative moms and parent groups due to the title characters' frequent [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing]] and use of the word "fabulous", leading said moms/parent groups to believe that the characters are CampGay and are presenting LGBTQ+ concepts to children too young to make an informed decision on the matter, without an attempt to educate them on the topic. Regardless, the show's target audience is fine with it, as are more open-minded parents.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' can sometimes suffer from this. On the one hand, you have the GEEWUNNERS, who, through a combination of NostalgiaFilter and TheyChangedItNowItSucks, vent their spite towards most incarnations of the franchise (especially newer ones) except the original shows (''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' and its sequel series ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'') -- this trope is blatant when their hate is directed towards the cartoon shows such as the Unicron Trilogy or ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated''. On the other hand, you have fans of the newer franchises who hate ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' (which is very, ''very'' unambiguously a kids' SaturdayMorningCartoon) due to its {{Camp}} value and HypeBacklash caused by nostalgic fans' love for the original series (a GEEWUNNER or otherwise). The franchise[[note]]except perhaps [[Film/{{Transformers}} the live-action movies]][[/note]] is primarily targeted towards children no matter what the older fans say, especially concerning ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' (the cartoon one).
* ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' had a pretty fierce one among adult fans of the major Creator/CartoonNetwork shows of the day (''Adventure Time'', ''Regular Show'', and ''The Amazing World of Gumball'') when it originally debuted on Cartoon Network in 2013, with many calling it one of the network's worst original series, in part due to its extremely strange premise [[MST3KMantra (the kind that really shouldn't be considered seriously)]] and [[SurrealHumor humor]] turning them off. It certainly didn't help that the highly acclaimed ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' debuted around the same time (and there was actually quite the backlash when the {{Crossover}} "Say Uncle" was announced), or that the title character shared some of the same traits as Barney himself. This largely died down in the years following the show's cancellation, and the series has been VindicatedByHistory with many due to newfound appreciation for its unique tone and execution, its masterful usage of DerangedAnimation, and the fact that series creator Pete Browngardt would later go on to do major work on several acclaimed projects like ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunesCartoons''.
* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'': Part of it is because of the vandalism caused by fans of the show to random pages on [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]]. But there's a fair amount of hate from non-Christians, too, for being a religious show for young kids (though there is a PeripheryDemographic among the same segment too). ''[=VeggieTales=]'' tends to have enough ParentalBonus (usually in the form of pop cultural references — e.g., [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the French peas guarding the wall of Jericho]]) to avoid the "babyish" criticism from adults, though.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'' is loathed by classic animation fans who see it as a complete insult to [[Creator/TexAvery the man it was named after]]. Their typical complaints about the series involve how the show [[InNameOnly has nothing to do with Avery's cartoons]], its ''extremely'' annoying theme song, and how the series replaced ''WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon'' (which carries great nostalgic value for many of these people) [[http://www.toonzone.net/tex-avery-the-wacky-world-of/ in some parts of the United States.]]
* Ever since The Jim Henson Company ventured into CGI animation, many vocal Muppet fans have called foul on various social media sites, saying that the company should stick to puppets and not venture out to other media. There is no real explanation for this behavior except for the irrational fear of TheyChangedItNowItSucks. ''WesternAnimation/WordParty'', for example, was compared to ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' even before the show premiered. That's not even taking into the fact that the late Creator/JimHenson himself didn't want to stick with puppets and experimented other forms of media.
