Added DiffLines:
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}'' (1976) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Misterjaw}}'' (1976)
** '''Concept:''' Both series, with sharks as lead characters, were created as responses to the box-office success of ''Film/{{Jaws}}''.
** '''Approach:''' Jabberjaw is in a rock 'n' roll band with four human teenagers. Misterjaw, created for the 90-minute ''Pink Panther'' show, would rather scare humans than befriend them.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' (1984) vs. ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' (1984)
** '''Concept:''' Western-produced shows with TransformingMecha.
** '''Approach:''' ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' seems to be the obvious pale knockoff... so it comes as a surprise to many that the ''[[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots GoBots]]'' toys [[OlderThanTheyThink actually predated]] ''Transformers'' by two years. Nonetheless, the ''cartoon'' Transformers beat the Go Bots to TV by a month.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' (1986) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' (1986)
** '''Concept:''' Cartoon adaptation of a live action TV series/Film about a team of detectives/geeks confronting ghosts and such.
** '''Approach:''' Both series premiered at the same year featuring Creator/{{Filmation}} and Creator/ColumbiaPictures' long dispute for the trademarks of the name.\\\
* ''Anime/SaberRiderAndTheStarSheriffs'' (1987) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bravestarr}}'' (1987) ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' (1986)
** '''Concept:''' SpaceWestern AnimatedSeries with {{Mechanical Horse}}s.
** '''Approach:''' ''Saber Rider'' was the first of these shows; its original Japanese version, ''Anime/SeiJuushiBismarck,''[[note]]"Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs" is a heavily {{Macekre}}d version of the show.[[/note]] aired in 1984. In America, ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' came first in 1986, with the other two shows following in 1987. ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' was DarkerAndEdgier than its competitors[[note]]Well, not by much, anyway.[[/note]] and seems to have the biggest fan following today, although none of the series did very well in America.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries'' (1988) vs. ''WesternAnimation/RobocopTheAnimatedSeries'' (1988)
** '''Concept:''' Both shows involve police who are (as C.O.P.S. put it) "fighting crime in a future time".
** '''Approach:''' Although [[Film/RoboCop1987 the film]] that the latter show is based on predates ''COPS'', ''COPS'' technically came first since it originally aired on weekdays.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/DenverTheLastDinosaur'' (1988) vs. ''WesternAnimation/DinkTheLittleDinosaur'' (1989)
** '''Concept:''' Animated series about dinosaurs having adventures and a GreenAesop or two.
** '''Approach:''' Denver had a one-year head start, aired in syndication and was set in modern-day while Dink came a year later (inspired partly by ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'', released in between the two shows), was aired by CBS and took place in the Stone Age.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' (1989) vs. ''[[Series/VideoPower The Power Team]]'' (1990)
** '''Concept:''' A regular teenager who loves video games leads a team of video game characters against the forces of evil.
** '''Approach:''' ''Captain N'' featured characters from numerous [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] games, and had the main character, Kevin Keene, transported into a realm of video games. ''The Power Team'' was a segment of a show called ''Video Power'', featured characters from games published by Acclaim, and had the video game characters coming out of the games into the real world, while the character Johnny Arcade watched everything on his console, giving advice to the Power Team.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' (1990) vs. ''WesternAnimation/WidgetTheWorldWatcher'' (1990)
** '''Concept:''' Saving the environment through use of superpowers.
** '''Approach:''' In ''Captain Planet'', [[MotherNature the spirit of the Earth]] summons five teenagers from around the world and gives them magic rings to stop "Eco-villains" from destroying the environment. ''Widget'' is about a shape-shifting alien who comes to Earth and befriends three human children.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh'' (1990) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (1990)
** '''Concept:''' Cartoons taking place at a high school involving teenagers from a new generation based on classic characters from the Golden Age of Hollywood (movie monsters/theatrical cartoon characters).
** '''Approach:''' ''Gravedale High'' had teen-aged [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Creator/{{Universal}} monsters [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] Creator/RickMoranis [[CelebrityToons as a human teacher, who happens to be the main character]]. ''Tiny Toons'' was a spin-off of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' (naturally) that not only had hi-jinks ensue, but would occasionally educate the viewers. Both shows have Creator/FrankWelker and Creator/MauriceLaMarche as regular cast members.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' (1991) vs. ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' Surreal {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} cartoons with extremely wacky animation styles and [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} disturbingly edgy styles of humor that skimmed toward older audiences]]
** '''Approach:''' Back in the 1990s, ''Ren & Stimpy'' revitalized the concept of deranged and dangerous animation that could be for both adults and kids, leading to many imitations of its style. ''Rocko's Modern Life'' was one such imitator that was dismissed as a rip-off with no redeeming value. Also, ''Ren & Stimpy'' focused more on creepy and gross humor, while ''Rocko'' focused more on wacky and zany humor.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' (1991) vs. ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' Kids' cartoons in TheNineties that starred a cast of FunnyAnimals who fly CoolPlanes. TheyFightCrime
** '''Approach:''' ''[=TaleSpin=]'' was aimed at a slightly younger audience, and took place in a DieselPunk WorldOfFunnyAnimals. ''SWAT Kats'' was aimed at older children, and took place in the futuristic MegaKat City, which was inhabited by a cat-like species known as "Kats". The Sea Duck in ''[=TaleSpin=]'' was a customized cargo plane, while the TurboKat from ''SWAT Kats'' was a jet fighter.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' (1992) vs. ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' (1992)
** '''Concept:''' Comic Books adaptations that brought [[DarkerAndEdgier darker, more complex]] storylines to children's animation.
** '''Approach:''' In 1992, Comic Book [[DuelingProducts rivals]], DC and Marvel, in about of a month of each other, released a show based on one of their most popular licenses onto Fox Kids. Both became not only popular, but are noted as being the start of bringing darker and more complex stories to comic book programming, and children's programming in general. \\\
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (1993) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' DenserAndWackier [[GenreThrowback throwbacks]] to UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation made in the wake of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Cartoon characters live alongside "regular" human beings, who in both shows are also animated. The producers of each show, Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/AmblinEntertainment, had previously collaborated on ''Roger Rabbit''.
** '''Approach:''' ''Bonkers'' is more of a BuddyCopShow for kids, with the humor revolving around Bonkers' interactions with his human partner(s). Animaniacs is more of a broad satire of pop culture in general.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/HappilyEverAfterFairyTalesForEveryChild'' (1995) vs. ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues'' (1996)
** '''Concept:''' Animated retellings of famous stories using an AllStarCast.
** '''Approach:''' ''Happily Ever After'' retold classic fairly tales and folk stories but with changes to make them reimaginings of the original tale set in different countries, like ''Little Red Riding Hood'' taking place in China or a re-telling of ''The Happy Prince'' set in a New York City park. ''Adventures From The Book Of Virtues'', however, used the stories as a FramingDevice that TalkingAnimal characters tell two kids named Zack and Annie.\\\

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' (1997) vs. ''WesternAnimation/LittleBill'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' SliceOfLife Animated series based on a series of children's books about a young [[CharlieBrownBaldness bald-headed]] boy and his family and friends experiencing daily situations and also teaching [[AnAesop aesops]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (1997) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' A group of kids have misadventures in school under the eye of a large strict female teacher.
** '''Approach:''' Creator/OneSaturdayMorning was beating Creator/KidsWB in the ratings race, so it seems pretty obvious here that Warner Bros. decided to FollowTheLeader. \\\

** '''Approach:''' ''Batman Beyond'' was set in a BadFuture {{dystopia}}, centered upon a teenager trained by Bruce Wayne into the {{Franchise/Batman}} role and somehow developed into a DarkerAndEdgier show than its predecessor, particularly in TheMovie that was based on it. ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' -- which was originally planned to be a AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' -- eventually came to be about [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] in an AlternateTimeline {{dystopia}}, where [[BeastMan Beast Men]] ruled the Earth.\\\

** '''Approach:''' ''The Mummy'' is a bit LighterAndSofter than the two films before it (as well as the original 1932 ''[[Film/TheMummy1932 Mummy]]'', which was a horror film classic).

** '''Concept:''' A shy little brunette boy and his outgoing, scrappy blue ImaginaryFriend have adventures with other made-up beings.

''Xiaolin'' is set in modern times, while ''Avatar''s setting is a fantasy world with heavy inspiration from eastern cultures. ''Xiaolin'' is more action focused, while ''Avatar'' is more plot and character driven. But while ''Xiaolin'' aired first, ''Avatar'' had been conceived in 2001.\\\

** '''Approach:''' ''Danny Phantom'' premiered over a year before ''Ben 10'', and can be said to have started the craze of secret teen/child heroes that would come the following year.

** '''Concept:''' Irreverent adult-oriented animated adaptations of centered on popular or cult-favorite comic book villains, both debuting on streaming services and featuring name talent in the lead roles. Neither are straight-up parodies, but both are heavily comedic and play fast and loose with the source material.

(Originally, a third show, an animated Franchise/{{Deadpool}} series, would also have participated in this duel, but it wound up being cancelled, a fact that ''Harley Quinn'' [[TakeThat made fun of]].)\\\

* ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary'' (2020) vs. ''WesternAnimation/StanLeesSuperheroKindergarten'' (2021)
** '''Concept:''' Preschool cartoons about young superheroes attending school. Power Pedro is similar to Sara Snap because they're both small yet strong. Blockbuster is similar to Benny Bubbles because they're both the chubby, emotional ones. Sticky looks similar to AJ Gadgets. They also both have pet hamsters - Fur Blur for ''Hero Elementary'' and Hammy for ''Superhero Kindergarten''.
** '''Approach:''' ''Hero Elementary'' is very loosely based on a 2009 book called ''Super Hero School''. Creator/StanLee conceived ''Superhero Kindergarten'' before he died and it stars Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/SolarOpposites'' (2020) vs. ''WesternAnimation/CentralPark'' (2020)
** '''Concept:''' Original adult-oriented animated series that were developed by creators of already-successful adult-oriented animated series (and featuring distinctively similar art styles to said shows) for the Fox Broadcasting Company, only to see both of them be shelved, then picked up by streaming services and premiere in May 2020. Both shows are among the first adult-oriented original animated series to be distributed by their respective streaming service.
** '''Approach:''' ''Solar Opposites'' was created by Creator/JustinRoiland; the show was picked up by Creator/{{Hulu}} and heavily marketed as "from the co-creator of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''". Meanwhile, ''Central Park'' was co-created by Loren Bouchard, picked up by Creator/AppleTVPlus and marketed as "from the creator of ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers''". In both cases, the new shows bear a very close visual resemblance to the associated older series, strengthening their connection.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TheCasagrandes'' (2019) vs. ''[[Literature/{{Barbapapa}} Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family!]]'' (2019)

** '''Concept:''' Preschool shows revolving around the life of a girl in the city.
** '''Approach:''' While ''Little Ellen'' is based on the childhood of Creator/EllenDegeneres, ''Alma's Way'' is an original idea created by Sonia Manzano, well-known for playing Maria on ''Series/SesameStreet''.\\\
** '''Concept:''' Both series, with sharks as lead characters, were created as responses to the box-office success of ''Film/{{Jaws}}''.
** '''Approach:''' Jabberjaw is in a rock 'n' roll band with four human teenagers. Misterjaw, created for the 90-minute ''Pink Panther'' show, would rather scare humans than befriend them.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' (1984) vs. ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' (1984)
** '''Concept:''' Western-produced shows with TransformingMecha.
** '''Approach:''' ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'' seems to be the obvious pale knockoff... so it comes as a surprise to many that the ''[[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots GoBots]]'' toys [[OlderThanTheyThink actually predated]] ''Transformers'' by two years. Nonetheless, the ''cartoon'' Transformers beat the Go Bots to TV by a month.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/FilmationsGhostbusters'' (1986) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' (1986)
** '''Concept:''' Cartoon adaptation of a live action TV series/Film about a team of detectives/geeks confronting ghosts and such.

** '''Concept:''' SpaceWestern AnimatedSeries with {{Mechanical Horse}}s.
** '''Approach:''' ''Saber Rider'' was the first of these shows; its original Japanese version, ''Anime/SeiJuushiBismarck,''[[note]]"Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs" is a heavily {{Macekre}}d version of the show.[[/note]] aired in 1984. In America, ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' came first in 1986, with the other two shows following in 1987. ''[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers Galaxy Rangers]]'' was DarkerAndEdgier than its competitors[[note]]Well, not by much, anyway.[[/note]] and seems to have the biggest fan following today, although none of the series did very well in America.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/COPSAnimatedSeries'' (1988) vs. ''WesternAnimation/RobocopTheAnimatedSeries'' (1988)
** '''Concept:''' Both shows involve police who are (as C.O.P.S. put it) "fighting crime in a future time".
** '''Approach:''' Although [[Film/RoboCop1987 the film]] that the latter show is based on predates ''COPS'', ''COPS'' technically came first since it originally aired on weekdays.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/DenverTheLastDinosaur'' (1988) vs. ''WesternAnimation/DinkTheLittleDinosaur'' (1989)
** '''Concept:''' Animated series about dinosaurs having adventures and a GreenAesop or two.
** '''Approach:''' Denver had a one-year head start, aired in syndication and was set in modern-day while Dink came a year later (inspired partly by ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'', released in between the two shows), was aired by CBS and took place in the Stone Age.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' (1989) vs. ''[[Series/VideoPower The Power Team]]'' (1990)

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'' (1990) vs. ''WesternAnimation/WidgetTheWorldWatcher'' (1990)
** '''Concept:''' Saving the environment through use of superpowers.
** '''Approach:''' In ''Captain Planet'', [[MotherNature the spirit of the Earth]] summons five teenagers from around the world and gives them magic rings to stop "Eco-villains" from destroying the environment. ''Widget'' is about a shape-shifting alien who comes to Earth and befriends three human children.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/GravedaleHigh'' (1990) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' (1990)
** '''Concept:''' Cartoons taking place at a high school involving teenagers from a new generation based on classic characters from the Golden Age of Hollywood (movie monsters/theatrical cartoon characters).
** '''Approach:''' ''Gravedale High'' had teen-aged [[{{Expy}} expies]] of Creator/{{Universal}} monsters [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] Creator/RickMoranis [[CelebrityToons as a human teacher, who happens to be the main character]]. ''Tiny Toons'' was a spin-off of the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' (naturally) that not only had hi-jinks ensue, but would occasionally educate the viewers. Both shows have Creator/FrankWelker and Creator/MauriceLaMarche as regular cast members.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' (1991) vs. ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' Surreal {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} cartoons with extremely wacky animation styles and [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} disturbingly edgy styles of humor that skimmed toward older audiences]]
** '''Approach:''' Back in the 1990s, ''Ren & Stimpy'' revitalized the concept of deranged and dangerous animation that could be for both adults and kids, leading to many imitations of its style. ''Rocko's Modern Life'' was one such imitator that was dismissed as a rip-off with no redeeming value. Also, ''Ren & Stimpy'' focused more on creepy and gross humor, while ''Rocko'' focused more on wacky and zany humor.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' (1991) vs. ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' Kids' cartoons in TheNineties that starred a cast of FunnyAnimals who fly CoolPlanes. TheyFightCrime
** '''Approach:''' ''[=TaleSpin=]'' was aimed at a slightly younger audience, and took place in a DieselPunk WorldOfFunnyAnimals. ''SWAT Kats'' was aimed at older children, and took place in the futuristic MegaKat City, which was inhabited by a cat-like species known as "Kats". The Sea Duck in ''[=TaleSpin=]'' was a customized cargo plane, while the TurboKat from ''SWAT Kats'' was a jet fighter.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' (1992) vs. ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' (1992)
** '''Concept:''' Comic Books adaptations that brought [[DarkerAndEdgier darker, more complex]] storylines to children's animation.
** '''Approach:''' In 1992, Comic Book [[DuelingProducts rivals]], DC and Marvel, in about of a month of each other, released a show based on one of their most popular licenses onto Fox Kids. Both became not only popular, but are noted as being the start of bringing darker and more complex stories to comic book programming, and children's programming in general. \\\
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' (1993) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' (1993)
** '''Concept:''' DenserAndWackier [[GenreThrowback throwbacks]] to UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation made in the wake of ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. Cartoon characters live alongside "regular" human beings, who in both shows are also animated. The producers of each show, Creator/{{Disney}} and Creator/AmblinEntertainment, had previously collaborated on ''Roger Rabbit''.
** '''Approach:''' ''Bonkers'' is more of a BuddyCopShow for kids, with the humor revolving around Bonkers' interactions with his human partner(s). Animaniacs is more of a broad satire of pop culture in general.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/HappilyEverAfterFairyTalesForEveryChild'' (1995) vs. ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresFromTheBookOfVirtues'' (1996)
** '''Concept:''' Animated retellings of famous stories using an AllStarCast.
** '''Approach:''' ''Happily Ever After'' retold classic fairly tales and folk stories but with changes to make them reimaginings of the original tale set in different countries, like ''Little Red Riding Hood'' taking place in China or a re-telling of ''The Happy Prince'' set in a New York City park. ''Adventures From The Book Of Virtues'', however, used the stories as a FramingDevice that TalkingAnimal characters tell two kids named Zack and Annie.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' (1996) vs. ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' (1998)
** '''Concept:''' Nickelodeon animated sketch comedies that presented about four shorts an episode.
** '''Approach:''' ''[=KaBlam!=]'' normally had the same shorts per episode, with a few one-shots in there to mix things up. ''Oh Yeah!'' featured different shorts every episode.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' (1996) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (1997)
** '''Concept:''' A group of fourth grade kids and their usual and unusual adventures with their friends
** '''Approach:''' ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'' didn't have school as its main focus (while a bunch of episodes focused on school, it wasn't the main point of the show), while ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' focuses more on the kids at school.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' (1997) vs. ''WesternAnimation/LittleBill'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' SliceOfLife Animated series based on a series of children's books about a young [[CharlieBrownBaldness bald-headed]] boy and his family and friends experiencing daily situations and also teaching [[AnAesop aesops]].
** '''Approach:''' While ''Caillou'' focused on the white Canadian experience and was accompanied by live-action puppet segments, ''Little Bill'' focused on the Black American experience and had the distinction of its main character being a fictionalized child version of Creator/BillCosby.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' (1997) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Detention}}'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' A group of kids have misadventures in school under the eye of a large strict female teacher.
** '''Approach:''' Creator/OneSaturdayMorning was beating Creator/KidsWB in the ratings race, so it seems pretty obvious here that Warner Bros. decided to FollowTheLeader. \\\
* ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'' (1997) vs. ''[[WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiracies Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends]]'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' Shows that feature a clandestine organization dedicated to protecting the planet from aliens, and keeping the existence of those aliens a secret from the general public.
** '''Approach:''' While ''Men in Black'' did have a recurring primary antagonist and there was a story arc in the final season, most episodes were a standalone affair. ''Roswell'' however featured a very strong central myth arc, as well as several other story arcs that all concluded in the final set of episodes.\\\
* MTV's ''WesternAnimation/{{Downtown}}'' (1999) vs. ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' (1999)
** '''Concept:''' Late 90's Adult [[AnimatedSeries Animated]] series about the bizarre city life.
** '''Approach:''' Both shows were released in 1999, they were well animated following artistic styles of Alternative comics. They were so unique and strange, too strange for their own good. They both had strange characters and stranger settings. They had many sexual jokes and nerdy pop culture jokes.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' (1999, Creator/KidsWB) vs. ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited'' (1999, Creator/FoxKids)
** '''Concept:''' MerchandiseDriven {{spinoff}}s of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' respectively, released in 1999. Both shows centered on familiar heroes with new PoweredArmor costumes with InvisibilityCloak powers, in a {{dystopia}}.
** '''Approach:''' ''Batman Beyond'' was set in a BadFuture {{dystopia}}, centered upon a teenager trained by Bruce Wayne into the {{Franchise/Batman}} role and somehow developed into a DarkerAndEdgier show than its predecessor, particularly in TheMovie that was based on it. ''Spider-Man Unlimited'' -- which was originally planned to be a AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' -- eventually came to be about [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker]] in an AlternateTimeline {{dystopia}}, where [[BeastMan Beast Men]] ruled the Earth.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' (2000) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TheMummyTheAnimatedSeries'' (2001)
** '''Concept:''' Two 2D animated shows on the early 2000's Kids WB block, both of which have inspirations from the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' series, both of which concern some ancient culture, both of which have globe-bouncing MacGuffin story arcs, and both have allusions to cinema.
** '''Approach:''' ''The Mummy'' is a bit LighterAndSofter than the two films before it (as well as the original 1932 ''[[Film/TheMummy1932 Mummy]]'', which was a horror film classic). Sony/Columbia/Tristar distributed ''JCA'' while Universal, who is the copyright holders of ''Film/TheMummyTrilogy'', are behind the animated version.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' (2001) vs. ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (2002)
** '''Concept:''' [[TeenSuperspy High school girls(s)]] [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld must save the world from evil.]]
** '''Approach:''' While ''Totally Spies'' did have a recurring villain here and there ''Kim Possible'' had a much stronger RoguesGallery in that they would appear more frequently. Said rogues gallery also got much more screen time than any of the villains in ''Totally Spies!''\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' (2002) vs. ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' (2004)
** '''Concept:''' A shy little brunette boy and his outgoing, scrappy blue ImaginaryFriend have adventures with other made-up beings.
** '''Approach:''' The titular [=ChalkZone=] took place in AnotherDimension and was more {{adventure}} / {{fantasy}} based, while Foster's Home was in the real world, was more focused around {{comedy}}, and didn't have [=ChalkZone's=] adventure elements.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/YakkityYak'' (2002) vs. ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' (2004)
** '''Concept:''' Edutainment animated series about a FunnyAnimal character learning life lessons.
** '''Approach:''' ''Peppa Pig'' originally aired on ''Cartoon Network's Tickle U'' block before it made a ChannelHop to ''Nick Jr''.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' (2003) vs. ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (2005)
** '''Concept:''' Plot-driven animated series inspired by Asian culture, about a group of pre-teens and teenagers who fight evil by using elemental powers.
** '''Approach:''' ''Xiaolin'' is a kid-centric series about the heroes collecting powerful artifacts and trying to keep them out of the villains' grasp. ''Avatar'' is a more mature series about a child who has the power of all four elements, which he must use to defeat an evil army. ''Xiaolin''[='s=] four protagonists have power over one of the four elements. ''Xiaolin'' is set in modern times, while ''Avatar''s setting is a fantasy world with heavy inspiration from eastern cultures. ''Xiaolin'' is more action focused, while ''Avatar'' is more plot and character driven. But while ''Xiaolin'' aired first, ''Avatar'' had been conceived in 2001.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' (2003) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'' (2005)
** '''Concept:''' VillainOfTheWeek science-fiction action-comedies about an adorable Anime/AstroBoy-esque protagonist who have human best friends that aires on rival networks Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/CartoonNetwork respectively.
** '''Approach:''' ''Teenage Robot'' premiered as a short on ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' in 1999 and green-lighted as a full series from 2003 and was cancelled in 2005, the same year ''Robotboy'' premiered in the UK. Teenage Robot's protagonist is built as a teenage ActionGirl who sees her creator as her mother and deals with typical teenage drama, while ''Robotboy's'' protagonist was more child-like and he deals with him saving the day from his current owner and his friends.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' (2004) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' (2004)
** '''Concept:''' {{Animesque}} {{sentai}} shows originating from Italy about a group of {{Magical Girl}}s who travel between Earth and a magical realm.
** '''Approach:''' Somewhat similar shows that both originated in Italy, except ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' has a bigger budget and scripts with less [[{{Filler}} filler]]. Many of the similarities were introduced through the adaptations. The ''Winx Club'' animated series came out before the ''W.I.T.C.H.'' animated series, though the comics that the ''W.I.T.C.H.'' series is based on pre-date ''Winx Club''.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' (2004) vs. ''WesternAnimation/BenTen'' (2005)
** '''Concept:''' Animated ScienceFantasy {{action|genre}} {{comed|y}}ies about a WhiteMaleLead schoolyard reject/HollywoodNerd who gains the ability to transform into a super powered form from a FreakLabAccident / ImportedAlienPhlebotinum that was connected to one of their family members, decides to fight crime and creatures like what he can become in secret, is the main combatant in a PowerTrio ([[ThreeAmigos two guys and]] [[TokenGirl one girl]]), have a know-it all red-headed relative, uses a catchphrase that was "Going [Blank]", and is from a family that hunts/hunted the creature he can become.
** '''Approach:''' ''Danny Phantom'' premiered over a year before ''Ben 10'', and can be said to have started the craze of secret teen/child heroes that would come the following year. While there are a number of differences, ''Ben 10'' gave ''Danny Phantom'' its greatest competition of all of the shows. The rivalry between the show's parent channels only upped the rivalry. \\\
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'' (2005) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'' (2005)
** '''Concept:''' Animated UrbanFantasy shows in which a young American kid of Chinese decent inherits the mystical mantle of a wise OldMaster grandparent and gains supernatural powers, and along with an AnnoyingYoungerSibling and a magical talking pug dog, is tasked with protecting and mediating the {{Masquerade}} between the human and magic worlds.
** '''Approach:''' Apart from all of the main characters (except for the talking dog) being {{Gender Flip}}ped, there are moderate differences in how the supernatural elements function.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (2005) vs. ''WesternAnimation/{{Skyland}}'' (2006)
** '''Concept:''' Animated series about a KidHero who must restore balance to a CrapSackWorld with the help of their [[FiveManBand energetic team]].
** '''Approach:''' In both, the worlds are either torn apart by war or [[ShatteredWorld broken]] and the hero deals with the gravity of it. ''WesternAnimation/{{Skyland}}'' is a Canadian/French/Luxembourgish co-production known for its [[SceneryPorn gorgeous scenery]] while ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' is an [[{{Animesque}} American ''anime'']] from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} which became known for challenging what it meant to be an anime and a cartoon.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' (2005) vs. ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' (2007)
** '''Concept:''' Science Fiction cartoons in which young boy protagonists use all sorts of gadgets to improve their life or just to have simple fun and have obnoxious older sisters who dream over a pretty boy, and they also have a anthropomorphic pet. Additionally, both have a formulaic plot structure.
** '''Approach:''' ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' actually has two plots (one with Phineas and Ferb, and one with their pet, Perry), while ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' just focused on 1 plot (being just about Johnny and Dukey). Both were also Cartoon Network and Disney's respective [[AdoredByTheNetwork darling shows until 2014]].\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/LittleEinsteins'' (2005) vs. ''WesternAnimation/WonderPets'' (2006)
** '''Concept:''' Preschool EdutainmentSeries focusing on a group of characters traveling the world on a flying object. Music also plays a major part in both series.
** '''Approach:''' The Wonder Pets, as the name implies, are classroom pets, while ''Little Einsteins'' has 4 human protagonists.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' (2008) vs. ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperHeroSquadShow'' (2009)
** '''Concept:''' Silver Age-esque kiddy-shows with a focus on lighthearted fun.
** '''Approach:''' ''Brave and the Bold'' is still quite close to the comics in characterization, except much more far-out in its storylines, whereas ''Super Hero Squad Show'' is extremely OTT and wacky in everything that happens. Also, BTBATB focuses almost exclusively on ADayInTheLimelight, prioritizing characters like Clock King and Green Arrow over The Joker and Robin.\\\
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' (2010) vs. ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' (2010)
** '''Concept:''' Insanely popular shows that focus largely on humor and (mostly) episodic character building. Both have a large PeripheryDemographic despite a cutesy, lighthearted exterior, and both take place in a Fantasy setting that is still filled with modern elements.
