11	[[AnimatedShows Animated TV shows]] originating in UsefulNotes/TheWest -- the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericas Americas]] (USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, etc.), Protestant and Catholic UsefulNotes/{{Europe}}, Australia or New Zealand. Some of these entries are actually compilations of theatrical shorts assembled for broadcast; the vast majority, though, are original creations made for television.
12
13	These are frequently {{Dom Com}}s (''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'') or AdventureSeries (''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'', ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''), and generally follow the conventions and {{tropes}} of their genre (and may {{exaggerate\|dTrope}} them).
14
15	Note that during the 1970s, many prime-time series both current and cancelled acquired [[AnimatedAdaptation animated versions]] broadcast as part of the network's {{Saturday morning\|Cartoon}} kidvid block; ''Radio/TheRickyGervaisShow'', based on the {{podcast}} of the same name, would be a recent example. Many of these are noted in the entries for the live-action show.
16
17	Most of the modern animated television series on this page are created, written, and acted in the West, but the actual animation is usually outsourced to Korean studios to save money (In other words, unless the idea or sources, etc. were outside of the West, a Western animation made outside of the Western world doesn't make the series/cartoon non-Western. This is only done to save money, as mentioned previously). This is after most series in the '90s were outsourced to Japan, but Korea is cheaper. In the 2010s, outsourcing grew to a broader range, expanded to Canadian, French, Australian, Filipino, and even Indian studios to name a few. Depending on the Western country, some series of them are {{Domestic Only Cartoon}}s, including United States cases handed off to Texas, Georgia, or New York. Primarily, theatrical films by major studios are still animated domestically within North America.
