Line #40 NoExportForYou/WesternAnimation


1	* Most of the old-school Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons have never been aired in Germany, except the legends: ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'', ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'', etc.
2	** Likewise, the Creator/HannaBarbera incarnation of the ''Monchhichi'' franchise from 1983 (''The Monchhichis'') never aired outside of the United States, Italy and several Latin American countries.
3	* Animated shows originating in European countries, such as ''WesternAnimation/TheFruitties'', ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', ''WesternAnimation/LilyTheWitch'' and ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', usually do not have a legitimate release in Japan, with several exceptions (although some AllCGICartoon shows of Creator/Studio100, such as ''Literature/{{Vicky the Viking}}'' and ''Anime/{{Heidi}}'', are based on anime counterparts, the Studio 100 versions of ''Vicky'' and ''Heidi'' are never officially released in Japan). Notably the CGI incarnation of ''Anime/MayaTheBee'' where the Studio 100 movies gained an official Japanese dub compared to the ongoing CGI series.
4	** In terms of ''Winx Club'', Japan averted it with the release of ''World of Winx''.
5	* An Italian dub of ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' was produced by Mediaset and set to air in 2003 on Italia 1. It was even advertised but never actually aired. To this day Mediaset still hasn't released the dub.
6	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' had an Italian dub similar to other Nicktoons of the time, but it only aired once and only covered the first 6 episodes. The dub is mostly considered lost nowadays.
7	* The Japanese version of ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' dubbed select episodes of the series. For instance, ''[[Film/KingKong1976 Kong!]]'' and ''[[Film/RoboCop1987 Robomunk]]'' were the only episodes from ''The Chipmunks Go To The Movies'' to be dubbed in Japanese.
8	** Likewise, the Hungarian version only dubbed the first two seasons.
9	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'':
10	** In Poland, ''Arthur'' didn't go beyond season 3, while the show's Polish dub that aired in 1998 on [=TVP1=] didn't go past season 1 (on Polsat and its related TV stations it aired the show in [[VoiceoverTranslation a voiceover version]]). Seasons 16 and 17 finally premiered in 2016 with a full dub.
11	** In Latin America, the series was not dubbed or broadcast after season 5, although in 2007, years after it stopped being broadcast, the series' CGI film ''Arthur's Missing Pal'' and the spin-off series ''Postcards From Buster'' received a dub with a completely different voice cast (that retained the characters' names used on ''Arthur'''s dub) that aired shortly in the Latin American version of Boomerang.
12	** Most Asian countries, excluding South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore, have only made it to the first half of season 5, if they were lucky enough to have access to Disney Channel Asia between 2000 through 2003. It seems that South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore are the only markets in the region that still air the show. However, the show has only ever aired on terrestrial TV in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.
13	*** Malaysia fell squarely into after Season 4 (although Disney Asia did air the first half of season 5 for those lucky enough to be able to afford pay TV). Those living in south Malaysia could still get ''Arthur'' from Singaporean TV, but those living further north (or worse, in the Borneo states of Malaysia) are boned (unless they move to south Malaysia, an unreasonable solution given the major cost of doing so, and that's not including finding a new job). [[note]]The Malaysian government's internet censorship system blocking [=P2P=], The Pirate Bay and most popular file sharing sites makes torrent an impossible solution, and even if one manages to work around the censorship, they'll find that only the first 13 seasons are available for torrent. For [=YouTube=], they may get lucky and eventually find something if they're willing to put up with videos that have been removed (at least in Malaysia), missing episodes and badly distorted videos to throw [=YouTube's=] copyright-bot off on what's left online. The Creator/PBSKids Streaming service, iPlayer, iView, Apple iTunes, Zune, Amazon Unbox and Franchise/LeapFrog App Center are all region blocked.[[/note]]
14	* ''WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp'' was never dubbed in Polish because the Polish dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' ended after Season 6, before it could air ''All Growed Up''.
15	* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic'' only airs in The Philippines and Singapore, on a terrestrial channel, in the South-East Asian region. Boomerang is uninterested in airing it on their feed in the region (and the app is not available in the region), it's not on HBO Go Asia, and Netflix does not have it.
16	* The last 12 or so episodes of ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'' never got aired in the USA, as Cartoon Network dropped the series around 2013. The series is now rerunning on Creator/{{Qubo}}, and episodes are available on [[Creator/AmazonStudios Amazon Video]] and iTunes.
17	** In January 2019, the entire season 2 premiered on Creator/{{Starz}} Family and Tubi.
18	* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' was in danger of this in America with anything past the third season once [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]]' broadcast rights were revoked. The show's company, Rainbow, was co-owned by Creator/{{ParamountGlobal}} between 2011 and 2023, and Nickelodeon has aired the fourth season along with new seasons they co-produced.
19	** Even in Singapore, the first movie got a cinema release (almost a whole year behind Italy, and with a few minor snips at that), but one year on, it's yet to be released on DVD there.
20	* Despite ''WesternAnimation/LoliRock'' having a story and conflict that can be enjoyable to anime fans and despite it being released in most of Europe and in all English-speaking territories (thanks to Netflix), the series was never released in all the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. The only way to watch this is to rely on the European Spanish dubbed version of the series. The only country in Latin America who is currently broadcasting the series is Brazil.
21	* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' still hasn't seen a DVD release in pretty much half the world, having only seen such releases in the United States and Australia.
22	* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
23	** The "Chinpokomon" episode has never been shown in Japan, and not even released on DVD sets, so that is the only ''South Park'' episode ever to be banned in a noticeable place, where banishment is seldom done.
24	** The "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?"/"Probably" two-parter, "A Ladder to Heaven" and "Krazy Kripples" were also banned in Japan, though the last one was reportedly dubbed but withheld by the network. "Heaven" was banned most likely due to the derogatory references about the Japanese, while the "Hell" two-parter is said to have been reportedly banned for conflicting with Japanese religious beliefs. WOWOW never dubbed season 8 or on, so one can only wonder what might have happened with "Good Times with Weapons" had it aired on their network.
25	*** According to Japanese Website/DeviantArt user [[http://sakurapanda.deviantart.com SakuraPanda]], Season 8 had been picked up by a new dubbing company (done for the network FOX [=BS238=]), but they decided to start the season out-of-order with "AWESOME-O" ("Good Times with Weapons" ''would'' later air, however). FOX would later cut the episode "The Two Days After the Day After Tomorrow", as they felt it was [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents insensitive to the recent tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster]]. To this date, FOX has only aired a dubbed version of season 8, and anything further has only appeared in subtitled format (such as season 9, where the aforementioned cut episode originated from).
26	** A Korean dub of ''South Park'' began broadcasting on Tooniverse in March 2000, but complaints to the South Korean government (particularly the Broadcasting Committee) caused it to be quickly pulled off the air, barely getting through the start of season 1. It is unknown how many episodes were dubbed in total due to the sudden removal, although fans have to rely on fan-subbed uploads of the episodes to be able to see it.
27	** ''South Park'''s broadcast in Malaysia is weird. Two providers carry Creator/ComedyCentral Asia. Of them, one (Astro IPTV over Maxis Broadband) outright bans ''South Park'' from airing and replaces it with reruns of other shows on their feed. The other provider (TM [=HyppTV=]) does let ''South Park'' air, but censors it. Adding to that is that select episodes and the movie was available on DVD long before Comedy Central became available in the country. Given that Astro got the channel a whole year before [=HyppTV=] did, many just assumed that [=HyppTV=] will be using the same anti-South-Park feed Astro is using when [=HyppTV=] announced that they have become the second provider in Malaysia to carry Comedy Central, only to be pleasantly surprised.
28	** Taiwan's dub only went as far as season 7.
29	** The Czech dub ended in 2004 after season 6, but resumed in 2012 and all 21 seasons have now been dubbed. Similarly, the first Polish dub lasted one season, but Creator/ComedyCentral's dub begins with season 11.
30	** The United Kingdom had to wait nearly '''seven years''' between DVD releases of the fourth and fifth seasons of ''South Park''. The first four seasons were all released in a relatively timely fashion, with the fourth being released near the start of 2001. Then the series descended into a licensing mess between Channel 4 and Sky One, who were both the original UK broadcasters of the show, and Creator/ComedyCentral, who started broadcasting it on their UK channel in early 2005. Basically, someone screwed up the UK release negotiations in 1997, giving Channel 4 a five year contract for the TV rights, but a 10-year deal on the VHS and DVD rights. And once Comedy Central took Channel 4's broadcasting rights away, they retaliated by sitting on the VHS and DVD rights and making it clear they wouldn't release anything past Season 4. This left Comedy Central completely unable to release any of their own ''South Park'' [=DVDs=], and they had to wait until the deal expired... in October '''2007'''. Since then though the DVD releases have been very timely, generally only a couple of months behind the US releases.
31	** "201" has also never been shown outside its initial airing. By that, we mean ''when the episode was first shown on American TV''. Thankfully, it's more of a subversion, as the episode is available on DVD. Even if it's still edited to pieces. Due to the controversy, various foreign dubs of the series have not translated 200 and 201, and it's also excluded from any overseas DVD releases.
32	*** The UK, at the very least, narrowly averted the trope in the case of "200", if only temporarily. As new episodes aired on Comedy Central UK just a few days after the US, "200" managed to have its one and only airing on UK shores before the decision was made to pull the episode from rotation, with "201" never airing at all. Both episodes were left off of the UK versions of the DVD releases.
33	** If the Japanese version ever gets past Season 9, expect "Whale Whores" to become this for them. Given that it features them as going to war against the dolphins and whales for believing that they dropped the atomic bombs during World War II...
34	* ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeFriendsAndJerry'' has never aired in Asia and the Middle East, excluding Japan and Israel. This is probably due to the {{token\|minority}} Asian character Mimmi being drawn with AsianBuckTeeth and yellow skin.
35	* Somehow, not one piece of the ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' franchise was released in Albania.
36	* The ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' novels, produced in Italian, will have been around for a year and a half before being licensed in French. If you're looking for a release in English, you might as well hit the torrent sites, because a legitimate release doesn't exist (for now, anyway).
37	* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies''' SpiritualSuccessor, ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'', was pulled from the American Cartoon Network in July 2010, leaving sixteen episodes of season two unaired. Seeing those episodes start to pop up on video sites in Spanish, French and Dutch can be a painful tease for English-speaking viewers.
38	* ''WesternAnimation/SuperNoobs'' is one of these American/Canadian shows known for having several cases of being ScrewedByTheNetwork in terms of how the Cartoon Network in the U.S. treated the show. Initially, they had the show air in a marathon session of one episode per day in the U.S. when it first premiered, which was in a similar manner to how ''Total Drama Pahkitew Island'' and ''The Ridonculous Race'' aired in the United States. However, the marathon abruptly stopped after the 31st episode. The show went into limbo but briefly came back in the limelight seven months later with the network planning to release episodes 33 to 52 in terms of airing four episodes per week. However, Cartoon Network only aired eight episodes and for reasons unknown, decided to yank the last twelve episodes off their time slots and replace them with reruns of ''Teen Titans Go!'' The 32nd episode was held back until October because it was a Halloween episode. The network originally decided to air the episode in the U.S on October 27 but postponed the episode for two more days. As of now, there is no word on whether Cartoon Network will release the last 12 episodes in the United States or when they will release the episodes if they do decide to release them. To add insult to injury, other foreign countries such as the Philippines, France, Italy, and Turkey got to see the entire first season long beforehand. Even more insulting is that even though the show is partly a Canadian cartoon created by Scott Fellows, who is American, the show didn't air in Canada until almost a year later after the UK premiere.
39	** Despite all of this, the entire first season was made available to purchase and watch in the United States on iTunes on July 12, 2016, and is still up in their library, meaning that all the episodes of the series have technically been released to the United States but only through the internet. The same thing goes for Xbox Live Video as well. A second season was ordered in 2018.
40	* Creator/{{DiC\|Entertainment}}'s video game-based cartoons were never broadcasted in Japan except for ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'', most likely because Japan already had a bunch of its own anime based on video games, such as ''Anime/TheGreatMissionToSavePrincessPeach'' and ''Anime/SonicTheAnimation''.
41	* For the longest time, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' series was never broadcast in Japan. Several of the multipart episodes (such as "Bender's Big Score") have broadcast on WOWOW, but [[NoDubForYou subtitled rather than dubbed]]. Eventually, the entire series was then made available on the Star catalogue of Japanese Disney+, albeit subtitled yet again. This is especially odd, considering that Groening's later Netflix series ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'' received a full dubbing treatment, ''including its original teaser advert''.
42	* The DVD box set of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' season 20 (which was released in celebration of the show's 20 years on the air) was not released in the United Kingdom [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff despite the show’s UK popularity]], despite being released in Australia and its native USA. It probably would have been released eventually if the DVD releases of the show didn't stop in all countries after season 19.
43	* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' has never been released in Japan in any capacity whatsoever.
44	* The latest ''WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake'' AllCGICartoon is this to the one-third of the world who can't get Boomerang, who apparently is the sole broadcaster of the show outside the United States. In fact, this is true for all Hasbro properties, to which Boomerang has somehow obtained the rights.
45	* The studio at least ''tried'' to get the first season of the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\|1987}}'' released in the United Kingdom, but were blocked by the censors, who point blank refused to even consider allowing it to be shown on TV, or any VHS release with a certificate below a "15." The studio eventually had to settle for releasing a compilation video featuring a ClipShow from the third season which recapped the Turtles' origins, together with a bunch of footage from second season episodes in an attempt to build some sort of storyline. Years later, the first season finally got a DVD release.
46	* The sequel/spinoff series of ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' ''WesternAnimation/GadgetAndTheGadgetinis'' has only aired in Latin America, Europe and Canada, and while it was was planned to air on Fox Family in the United States, Disney's purchase of Fox Family Worldwide hindered the potential.
47	* Practically none of the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'' has received a Region 2 [=DVD=] release except for an incomplete two-volume release of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' that was exclusive to the [=HMV=] store chain, and a few kid-oriented ''Justice League'' and ''Superman'' [=DVDs=] with a couple of randomly selected episodes on each.
48	* ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' is an unusual variant. The American cartoon starring [[Music/PuffyAmiYumi real Japanese pop stars]] was ScrewedByTheNetwork and only got a couple of compilation [=DVDs=] in its home country. However, in Japan, where Puffy are much, ''much'' more famous, the complete series is out in season sets, with both the English and Japanese dub tracks.
49	* While the regular episodes of ''Literature/{{Madeline}}'' are being released onto UsefulNotes/{{DVD}}s from time to time, and most of the specials are available on DVD, the last special, ''Madeline in Tahiti'', is currently only available as a digital download from a few region-locked online stores, which screws over anyone who's not in the United States or Canada.
50	* All televised episodes of the ''[[WesternAnimation/WheresWaldo Where's Wally?]]'' animated series were aired in the United Kingdom, but the [[http://waldo.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Videos direct-to-video episodes]] didn't get there.
51	* In the United Kingdom, the first seven episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' came to DVD sans the episode detailing the origin, accomplishments, and disappearance of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica. The omission of the episode also causes viewers to miss the first appearances of ComicBook/BuckyBarnes, ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}[[note]]an EarlyBirdCameo as James Howlett[[/note]], ComicBook/RedSkull, and Kang the Conqueror.
52	* Season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' has been not released in Italy. Also Italy never had [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers "The Rebirth"]], following [[Anime/TransformersHeadmasters Japanese]] [[Anime/TransformersSuperGodMasterforce continuity]] instead.
53	** Likewise, Germany never aired ''Animated'''s third season, nor S2 and S3 of ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' (''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' later received a DVD release, but was dubbed by a different company). France left ''Beast Wars'' hanging after S2, too.
54	** Only the following ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' cartoons have been ever localized in Hungary: ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' (completely out of context without [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the show it's based on]]); ''Anime/TransformersEnergon''; ''Anime/TransformersCybertron''; ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' (this one much later, [[SequelFirst even though the latter two were its sequels]]); ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' (without the ''Predacons Rising'' movie); ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots''; ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015'', only the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersEarthSpark''. ''Armada'', ''Prime'' and ''Rescue Bots'' are the only series to have been given DVD releases... but only the first half for ''Armada'', and the first 10 episodes for ''Prime''. In a 2019 interview, one of the former heads of the country's toy distribution revealed the original cartoon series was not released on purpose: market data showed most people during the late 80s and 90s were simply too poor to afford the toys, so distributors saw no point in localizing the cartoon if it couldn't drive sales. They opted to release the [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMarvel Marvel comics]] instead.
55	** For the 1st time, Japan misses a Transformers show, that is ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Beast Hunters''. Instead, they made a Direct-To-DVD spinoff series set after Beast Hunters, ''Tri-form Combine Anime/TransformersGO!''. They also missed out on the ''Predacons Rising'' TV Movie too. Japan doesn't have ''[[WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots Rescue Bots]]'' either. In turn the US don't get ''GO'' either, despite being set in the Transformers Aligned Universe, although it not being recognized by Hasbro plays a part in it too.
56	** The [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers G1 cartoon show]] had a rough history in Germany as well, where they only focused on releasing seasons 3 and 4, but of the previous seasons, only a select few random episodes were ever dubbed. Some of these {{missing episode}}s were then shown in their ''Generation 2'' format, at least.
57	* The European Portuguese dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' initially didn't go beyond season 2. Half of the episodes were also originally skipped in the Italian dub.
58	** Luckily averted thanks to Disney+, as the European Portuguese and Italian dubs of the show are now available in their entirety.
59	* Many of Creator/MarvelComics' animation output of the 1980s and 1990s have never seen complete box set releases in the United States (with the exception of ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries''), but Region 2 territories have enjoyed complete series of all of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibleHulk1996'', the rare ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1981 Spider Man 5000]]'', ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'', ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' and ''WesternAnimation/SilverSurferTheAnimatedSeries''.
60	* It's hard to buy the complete English series of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'' on DVD outside North America. The best bet is to import one from the United States, which could cost a lot of money, or watch it on certain video sharing sites, but some of them had their videos blocked by PAWS Inc. in the United States.
61	** When ''Garfield and Friends'' got licensed by [=SoPeachi=], all of the episodes were released on Amazon.com Unbox along with the specials. This is a problem for non-North Americans because unless you can somehow circumvent the IP-based region lockout and get a US address attached to your account, there's no way you're going to get it. To make matters worse, Hulu and iTunes only have the first 46 episodes and are also not available worldwide (iTunes only sells TV shows in first world countries and Hulu is only officially available in exactly two countries: the US and Japan). It's unknown when they'll get the other episodes and the specials in.
62	** ''A Garfield Thanksgiving'' was also unreleased outside North America, with ''Garfield's Holiday Celebrations'' replacing it with ''Garfield in the Rough''. Due to this, [[https://s4.thcdn.com/productimg/0/600/600/43/95143-1335960864-482135.jpg the cover art]] was also altered so that Odie was wearing a winter cap rather than a Pilgrim hat.
63	** The series has an offical [=YouTube=] channel, but not only were there only clips for several years (until 2021 where they released all of Season 1 and most of Season 2), nothing related to ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' is on the channel.
64	** The 4K remaster is also this. It's only available on the Creator/{{Boomerang}} streaming service, which is once again only viewable in the United States.
65	** Japan and Finland never got the U.S. Acres segments, but despite this, the characters still appeared in the opening theme and the segment "The Mail Animal". Malaysia also censored all scenes with Orson from their version before said segment was replaced with a Garfield segment from an earlier episode in reruns.
66	* The French series ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldOriginals'' has yet to see a release outside of France. Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s acquisition of the ''Garfield'' franchise included the rights to this series and eventually, episodes began releasing on their site. However, in terms of internationally, there are currently no plans to give the series an overseas release of any kind.
67	* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Time Warner put the show on the respective ''Boomerang'' feeds after winning the rights to the show for the Asia, West Europe and Pacific regions. Time-Warner either didn't think too highly of the show, decided to use the show as a ''ransom program'' to coax cable providers into picking the network up by hoping for heavy requests from subscribers and is failing miserably in their tactics, or, as some speculated, is doing this on purpose to mess with Hasbro's marketing, since Time Warner is primarily partnered with Mattel (Mattel has the toy rights to DC's characters, and DC is owned by Time Warner. Likewise, Hasbro has the toy rights to Marvel characters, and Marvel is not only owned by Disney, but is a direct competitor to DC[[note]]Which likely isn't the case since Cartoon Network airs [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015 a few]] ''{{Franchise/Transformers}}'' [[WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse shows]] around the world.[[/note]]). For the record, Boomerang reaches fewer households in Asia—many Pay TV providers that carry Cartoon Network do not carry Boomerang, and even if they do, Boomerang is almost always part of the premium package while Cartoon Network is part of the basic package.
68	** When Time Warner shut off the Boomerang feed for many parts of Asia and replaced the feeds with Toonami, they quietly launched a sister channel, Cartoonito, which does have the show, along with it. But then they undone the move, creating confusion to providers lining up to sign Cartoonito up for their service, just as word began to spread.
69	** For months, the DVD situation looked weird due to this.
70	*** The first [=DVDs=] contained one episode each and were bundled with a brushable. They were USA and Region 1 only.
71	*** Next came Shout! Factory's single [=DVDs=] with a nice compilation of episodes, the only ones to include season 2 episodes so far, even the season 3 opener has already been announced; again, USA and Region 1 only. Hasbro didn't bother to order [=DVDs=] with episodes in chronological order, let alone season boxes.
72	*** Madman in Australia jumped in and announced a seasonal DVD series which, once complete, would get a box. But these are officially limited to Australia and Region 4 only and of little use for both American and European bronies.
73	*** The next [=DVDs=] with three episodes each in chronological order were announced by EDEL in Germany. The first two were in German only. But EDEL listened to what the bronies (who were the most likely to toss their money at them) wanted, namely the English original. From the third DVD on, they were made bilingual, and [=DVDs=] 1 and 2 were re-released in both languages, too. Also, the EDEL [=DVDs=] are region-free, causing many American bronies to try to get their [[HoldYourHippogriffs hooves]] on them which isn't that easy seeing as they're officially only available in Germany.
74	*** Since considerable amounts of brony money for [=DVDs=] were about to wander across the pond instead of to domestic sources, Shout! was finally greenlit to produce seasonal U.S. [=DVDs=].
75	** In Japan, due to low ratings and sales, along with the struggle to compete with native shows with similar themes, Bushiroad made the decision to cancel their localized take on the show after Season 2, despite being regarded as one of the best dubs it received by Japanese and non-Japanese fans alike (despite the EditedForSyndication cuts there).
76	*** This has since been averted with the Equestria Girls movies, which received Japanese dubs in October 2015 as a Creator/{{Netflix}} Japan exclusive, and [[http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/10/japan-opens-pony-cafe-in-tokyo-plus-52.html 52 more dub episodes]] were announced to be on the way. [[NetworkToTheRescue Sega Toys has even picked up the toy distribution rights]]. And now Pay TV channel [=Dlife=], a Disney-owned channel in Japan (Think Creator/{{Freeform}}, but with emphasis on lifestyle), [[ChannelHop now airs the series, alongside Disney Channel in Japan,]] but it's the EditedForSyndication version of the first 2 seasons.
77	*** Luckily, [[https://news.ponycanyon.co.jp/2018/09/26959 The Movie got a direct-to-DVD release]] in December 2018.
78	** The "''Friendship is Forever''" clip shows aired exclusively in Australia, and therefore still have yet to be released in North America, even after the release of ''My Little Pony: A New Generation'' on Netflix.
79	* ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'' has yet to see seasons 6 and 7 to release in a LOT of countries other that Europe and Asia.[[note]]It's available in Latin America on CN and Boomerang, but still![[/note]] Ukraine[[note]]PlusPlus[[/note]], France[[note]]Gulli, Canal J, and La Trois[[/note]], Southeast Asia[[note]] Cartoon Network and Boomerang[[/note]] and the Middle East[[note]]Gulli Arabia[[/note]] have aired seasons 4–7 fully ''uncensored''. Weird because the Middle East is known to censor shows a lot. Seasons 3-7 have yet to be released on direct-to-video for the Arabic translation that was aired on the Moroccan channel [=2M=].
80	* Many Creator/AdultSwim shows (except ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'') never aired in most countries, including Poland, Hungary, The Netherlands and South Korea, due to AnimationAgeGhetto.
81	* The first two seasons of ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat'' were not broadcast in Italy or Germany.
82	* ''WesternAnimation/TRONUprising'' has yet to make its debut in Latin America, despite having episodes of the Latin American Spanish dub air in the United States via SAP.
83	** In late 2014, the show finally made it across the border, with the Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dubs being put up on Netflix UsefulNotes/LatinAmerica and Brazil. It's still a bit odd how Disney Latino never mentioned the series after advertising it on a 2012 promo, and putting translated versions of the online games up randomly some time after.
84	* The ''Sabrina'' portion of the [[SaturdayMorningCartoon Saturday-morning cartoon]], ''WesternAnimation/SabrinaAndTheGroovieGoolies'', outright falls under this trope to countries outside of the United States, Canada, Asia, Latin America, Italy and New Zealand, despite being the first MagicalGirl cartoon be made in the US. Yes, fans of the [[ComicBook/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch Sabrina comic book]] who live in Australia, Ireland or the United Kingdom and were born in the 1960s would not be able to recieve the series, and there was no way to watch the series in these countries.
85	** Finally averted in the 2010s with the release of the complete series on DVD in the UK.
86	* ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' has finally come out on DVD... as an exclusive to the Disney Movie Club, which is currently only available in the US (the Region 1 sets can be resold and regularly show up on Amazon Marketplace and [[=eBay=]], but they cost more than general retail DVD sets and supply is not as consistent).
87	* The entire series of ''WesternAnimation/{{Stanley}}'' was released on iTunes Germany along with the original English Season 2 for some reason. Aside from two DVD and VHS releases, a direct-to-video movie and an extremely rare VHS release of the episodes "Baby Pictures" and "Up the Apple Tree", the USA didn't have the same luck. Also, on iTunes Canada, the three seasons of this show are only available in French.
88	* ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' was never aired on Cartoon Network India, because of the unflattering portrayal of the titular Cow. They did air ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'', where she and Chicken are not present, though.
89	* The TV movie of WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo "Johnny Bravo Goes to Bollywood" aired in parts of Europe and Asia but not America. It did get a DVD release but only in those same countries.
90	* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' only aired two seasons when it was dubbed for the Latin American market, due to Adult Swim Latinoamerica (a block aired on I.Sat) going defunct shortly after, with the network heads citing low ratings as the cause.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'' has only had seasons 1 and 2 adapted for overseas dubs, such as those aired in Japan, Italy, and the Latin American countries. France had an even shorter run of the show, with fans only getting to see season 1 before it ceased broadcast.
92	** The series was also never released in the United Kingdom or Ireland.
93	* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'', as it has been getting DVD season sets in the United Kingdom, Australia, and even Germany (including the specials). But in the United States, only Season 1 is fully out on DVD, while Seasons 3 through 9 are mostly available as digital downloads.
94	** The ''ComicBook/JohanAndPeewit'' episodes hardly show up in any DVD season sets for the English-speaking nations.
95	** Croatia shares a similar, if not worse fate as the USA; the episodes released so far don't even cover one whole season, are massively shuffled around and a few season 1 episodes use an alternate dub even though the versions with the original dub could've been released instead. Any other episode is available strictly via [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes original TV recordings that are extremely hard to find/get]].
96	* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' never got a Basque dub, let alone any broadcasts on Basque networks, despite getting some books based on the series published in the language.
97	* ''WesternAnimation/PuppyInMyPocketAdventuresInPocketville'', being a show that was rather popular amongst young girls in European countries, did not have any record of it airing in any Asian country except for some Middle Eastern countries, Turkey, China, and the Philippines. Even its merchandise are limited, with most of it being European-exclusive or even exclusive to Italy, where the show was ''even more'' popular since it was where it came from, after all.
98	* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'': While ''Total Drama Island'' was the only season to be aired in Castilian Spanish, the UK has only received ''Island'', ''Action'', and the SpinOff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'' on British television. Total Drama never premiered in Germany nor the Czech Republic prior to ''[=DramaRama=]''. Likewise, Fresh TV/Cake never sold the rights to the show in Japan, among the countries that have not aired Total Drama since 2017. ''Ridonculous Race'' has not been aired in Croatia either.
99	* ''WesternAnimation/GeronimoStilton'''s television series has not been released in the United States, depsite the books being popular there. However, the show can be found on [=DVD=] and on Amazon Prime. The show also didn't air in Japan and Korea.
100	* Season 6 of ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' was initially only released in the United States, Germany, Canada and Australia, even though Spanish and French voice tracks existed on the Australian PAL Blu-Ray.
101	** Fortunately averted nowadays, thanks in part to Creator/DisneyPlus, which carries the entire series.
102	* In Japan, ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'' only had the "Mumfie's Quest" arc released. Despite how popular it was when it first came out, the rest of the show never got released, possibly because of the death of Scarecrow's voice actor, or due to Forte Music (Nippon Columbia's sub-label) going bankrupt. Sweden has the same situation, but for unknown reasons.
103	** In Italy, fourteen episodes were skipped, and Greece never got the Mumfie's Quest arc.
104	** Which is much better than the treatment the show got in Malaysia, where it got cancelled before it could even air, largely because one of the characters is a pig. No other networks have stepped up to air the show.
105	* ''WesternAnimation/TheRaccoons'' hasn't enjoyed the luxury of a full release in the United Kingdom, even though it was very popular there. Only the first two seasons have been released on [=DVD=] in the UK.
106	** Prior to the [=DVD=] release, the only episodes you could get on VHS were 'Surprise Attack' & 'Going It Alone' on the Channel 5 label (along with the four specials across three tapes), 'Double Play', 'The Sweet Smell Of Success', 'Blast From the Past' & 'Power Trip' on the Castle Vision label across two tapes, and 'Stop The Clock' & 'The Artful Dodger' on the Video Collection label (later re-packaged under the Children's Club label). To this day, the specials can only be found on [=VHS=].
107	*** Its native Canada has it slightly worse: only the first season has been released on iTunes, and as with the UK, only the first two seasons have been released on DVD, but the first 9 episodes of the third season were also released there on DVD in volumes.
108	*** There has been a complete series and specials DVD release in Germany, where it was also very popular, but only with a German audio track.
109	* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'' never aired in Japan, Hungary, Czech Republic, or South Korea, even though products of the franchise were sold and/or other versions were seen in those countries.
110	** Only 52 episodes were dubbed in Catalan.
111	* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', despite being heavily influenced by Eastern mythology, done in an {{Animesque}} visual style, and possessing a more anime-like MythArc instead of the typical episodic nature of most WesternAnimation, was never successfully released in Japan. The first two seasons of the original series were dubbed ''and advertised'', but [[ScrewedByTheNetwork never released]] because of the failure of Japan's Nickelodeon channel. A proper dub for season three and legal sales in Japan wouldn't appear until nearly a decade later, when the show was made available on Amazon Creator/PrimeVideo Japan.
112	* Most Nickelodeon shows produced after 2009 didn't received a Japanese dub, since Nickelodeon Japan ceased operations back in 2009. A few of them managed to air, however, and most of the time it's on NHK, but even then it's only a select few that do air there, not to mention that the shows often get pulled after a few months to make room for other shows. Eventually, in 2018, a new Japanese Nickelodeon channel launched, as part of a partnership with NHK, yet despite this, many shows still haven't been localized as of 2020, such as ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', ''WesternAnimation/RainbowButterflyUnicornKitty'', and ''WesternAnimation/ItsPony''.
113	** ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' eventually averted this by getting a Japanese dub for the Japanese Nick+ streaming service in [[LateExportForYou 2021]], but it's unknown if the other shows will get this treatment as-well.
114	** ''WesternAnimation/TUFFPuppy'' had only its first season dubbed in Japanese and can be seen on Amazon Japan's Prime Video service.
115	* The second season of ''WesternAnimation/ShaggyAndScoobyDooGetAClue'' hasn't been localized in Hungary due to the exceptionally low ratings of the first.
116	** It was not released in the BENELUX either, probably because the Scooby-Doo franchise was mainly known there through Cartoon Network.
117	* Also in Hungary, the last seasons of ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlackTheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' have been neglected for over a decade until being finally shown in the 2010s (though this brought about a bad case of [[InconsistentDub inconsistent translations]] and [[TheOtherDarrin voices]] for some of them).
118	* Any Creator/DoconFilmsProductions series, except for ''Enertips'', ''WesternAnimation/ProblemChild'', ''Pocket Dragon Adventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/MagicAdventuresOfMumfie'', has never been released in the United States.
119	* While WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987, WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers and WesternAnimation/TaleSpin were slowly but surely being released in Europe, WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}, WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck and WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears at one point had yet to see even one release in that area, and judging by the fact that anything related to ''Darkwing Duck'' or ''Gargoyles'' officially released by Creator/{{Disney}} on Website/YouTube back then only seemed to be only viewable in the United States, it seemed as if those three shows would never come to Europe in the first place. However, this was largely averted following the launch of Creator/DisneyPlus in Europe, as those three shows (or at least one of them) are now readily available on the platform across European countries.
120	** The plot of the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' episode "Vowel Play" has a heavy reliance on English-language writing and spelling. Many dubs of the show resorted to fudging the original dialogue a bit in order for it to make sense to foreign viewers. As for dubs of the show in languages that don't utilize the Latin alphabet, this episode was skipped entirely, due to being too difficult to sensibly translate.
121	* As of this writing, the Disney Junior short series ''WesternAnimation/NinaNeedsToGo'' has only been dubbed in eight languages other than English: Italian (to make matters worse, it's localized and has edits to the point where some episodes are only '''30 seconds long'''), Korean (which [[ShortRunInPeru aired the season 2 episodes months before their American and British premieres]]), Spanish, French, Greek, Polish, Russian and Japanese ([[LateExportForYou which is the most recent dub, premiering three years after it aired in the US]]).
122	* ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', despite having its Latin American dub for all 26 episodes, was not aired in Latin America. At least both DVD releases of the series, for US (Region 1), Mexico (Regions 1 and 4) and Argentina (Region 4) include it.
123	* ''WesternAnimation/MaxAndRuby'': While the series has been dubbed into other languages such as Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Portuguese and German, and some of the original book versions have been translated into certain languages, the show itself hasn't been aired in Japan or China.
124	* The first AnimatedAdaptation based on the works of Creator/RosemaryWells called ''WesternAnimation/TimothyGoesToSchool'' hasn't been broadcasted outside of the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Latin America, the Middle East, Poland and Hungary. Which is odd since some of Wells books (Including the original version of ''Literature/TimothyGoesToSchool'' and ''Literature/{{Yoko}}'') have been translated in a few countries but the show hasn't gotten a dub in some of those countries.
125	** It was given a Malay dub in Malaysia in 2001, but: 1) It only aired on Astro's Pay-TV in-house channel, and 2) it was promptly screwed over anyway.
126	* ''[[WesternAnimation/VeggieTales VeggieTales on TV]]'' has never aired anywhere outside of Latin America and North America.
127	* The revival of ''WesternAnimation/BikerMiceFromMars'' suffered this in two ways.
128	** While chiefly an American cartoon, the revival [[ShortRunInPeru initially aired in the United Kingdom from 2006 to 2007]]. Even though the series was eventually shown in America on [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] in 2008, the show was removed from the schedule before completing its run, leaving seven of the show's twenty-eight episodes without an American airdate: "Desperado", "Cat and Mouse", "First Mice on the Moon", "Once Upon a Time on Earth" Parts 1-3, and the GrandFinale "Turf Wars".
129	** The revival's only DVD releases were available in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Bulgaria.
130	* Despite the original ''Anime/{{Superbook}}'' being made and aired in Japan, the Western-produced CGI reboot has yet to see the light of day there.
131	* ''WesternAnimation/PeterRabbit'': Neither Creator/NickJr Asia nor Creator/CBeebies Asia are airing it in the Asian region, possibly due to a rights dispute.
132	** Some of the toys, such as the Cottontail plush and the talking Lily and Benjamin, are U.K.-exclusives. Though the talking Peter is available in the United States, albeit in a slightly different version.
133	* Most Creator/CartoonNetwork shows haven't been dubbed in Greek, and many of the more recent ones haven't even aired in Greece at all because of Cartoon Network stopping broadcast there in January 2013.
134	** However, many Cartoon Network shows have since received official Greek dubs following the launch of a licensed Cartoon Network VOD service in Greece by Cosmote in 2018.
135	* As of November 2022, Creator/SethMacFarlane's animated shows (''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', among others) have never been dubbed in Japanese.
136	** According to one of the writers, ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' did receive a Korean dub, but suffered the same fate as ''South Park'' and was cancelled due to its content. Fortunately, the show is still available on Disney+, with subtitles only.
137	** ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' finally managed to avert this in Japan, as [=GyaO=] acquired the rights to the series for their streaming service, and Fox Japan started airing the series (however in a subtitled format rather than a full-on dub).
138	** As of 2022, ''American Dad!'' is now available on Creator/DisneyPlus in Japan, albeit only with subtitles.
139	** Averted, with the Ted duology, as both films were [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff extremely successful]] with the first making $43 million at the box office.
140	* ''WesternAnimation/RekkitRabbit'' never aired in the United States. Only the first 52 episodes aired in the United Kingdom, not counting Ireland, which got all 104 episodes in Gaelic.
141	* David Freedman's British-produced cartoons ''WesternAnimation/BountyHamster'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxbusters'' never made it to countries like Sweden, Finland, Poland and Denmark.
142	** The latter show never made it to the United States, despite Freedman himself being American and it having Creator/WhoopiGoldberg in its cast.
143	* The only languages that ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'' has been dubbed into as of this writing are French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Welsh, Irish Gaelic, European Portuguese, German and Castilian Spanish. The latter three dubs are [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes completely lost]], while the French dub is the only one that is completely found.
144	** The U.S. dub of the 2008 series only has a few compilation [=DVDs=][[note]]The British, too, most likely, but most UK episodes are online on the official Website/YouTube channel.[[/note]], and the 1995 series and the ImportationExpansion version of said series hasn't had a U.S. release at all.
145	* Even though ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' has been localized in Hungary in the 1990s and got a newly dubbed DVD release and sporadic television airings in the 2000s (with a handful of {{missing episode}}s first being shown in the early 2010s, featuring a different voice cast than either previous dubs), the show's ''The New Batman Adventures'' season was only released in early 2017, keeping the still available voices from the DVD dub.
146	* People who live in the Philippines won't get to see ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' which for some reason is only available on Netflix in Japan, and airs on The Dreamworks Channel in the rest of Asia, which no providers in The Philippines carry. This, of course, has left numerous Filipinos foaming at the mouth in resentment if not outright [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes circulating tapes]], as ''Voltron'' is one of the several quintessential childhood anime of many Gen-Y'ers in the country.
147	* Inverted with ''WesternAnimation/PhantomInvestigators''. The show originated in the United States, but due to the show scoring higher ratings with girls rather than Kids WB's desired young boy demographic, it was removed from the schedule (and never went into reruns on another network) after six of the show's 13 episodes aired. The remaining seven episodes (which included the final four episodes of the series and three earlier ones that never got a chance to air due to the episodes being aired OutOfOrder) all premiered overseas and never aired in its country of origin. The show also never aired in Germany, Japan, or the United Kingdom.
148	* Despite being successful in other countries, ''WesternAnimation/{{Calimero}}'' has yet to air in North America in English, because when Univision aired the show in the US, they aired it in Spanish.
149	* While ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Golden Collection'' got released worldwide, ''Platinum Collection'' was only released in America and Germany.
150	* ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy In Toyland]]'' is the only post-90's Noddy series not to be aired on TV in the United States, although it was released on Amazon.
151	* The animated adaptation of ''ComicStrip/MotherGooseAndGrimm'' has only been released in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and its origin country, the United States. For non-English releases, it was released in the Arab countries in the Middle East, Denmark, the Francophone countries, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.
152	* ''WesternAnimation/TheFruitties'' proved so popular in its native Spain that it managed to get localized in other European countries, going so far as to get an English dub... which was made for the UK and Ireland. Despite being popular in the European community and airing for a respectable 91 episodes, the show never got released in the United States, any non-European country that isn't in Brazil, the Arab world[[note]]the show got an Arabic dub, which would technically cover either Africa or Asia depending on which Arab countries it aired in[[/note]] and Southeast Asia, or in Japan.
153	* For some unknown reason, the ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' 60-minute specials were never dubbed nor released into Spanish and Portuguese.
154	** Any post-season 8 episodes of ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'' have not aired on North American television because Creator/{{Sprout}} dropped all Creator/HitEntertainment programming (save for [[Series/BarneyAndFriends two]] [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends shows]] that were tied to Creator/PBSKids) upon Comcast acquiring NBC Universal just as it was about to premiere. Luckily, Amazon Prime Video managed to save seasons 8 and 9, but Seasons 10 and beyond have not appeared on the service.
155	** Sadly, the first 5 Seasons of the original Welsh dub "Sam Tân" have only been released on a few rare VHS Tapes, and a single DVD of Season 5. [[note]] All Season 1 & 2 episodes where released on VHS, but the same cannot be said for Seasons 3 & 4, and Season 5 from 2003 Season. [[/note]]
156	* The 1987 series ''WesternAnimation/HelloKittysFurryTaleTheater'' [[note]] Not to be confused with Sanrio's 2000 series ''Hello Kitty's Animation Theater''[[/note]] never gained a Japanese dub and release. Despite the series being animated in Japan, probably due to being the only Western-produced series that starred Franchise/HelloKitty and [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio characters]]. Since the series ended, any future project or animated series starring any Sanrio character will only be made in Japan as an anime, OVA, web exclusive shorts, or manga, each controlled by the company.
157	* ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' has never been released in Japan.
158	* Tends to happen to Canadian DVD releases when a show made there, like ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' or ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', gets picked up by a different channel in the United States who brands the show under their name and creates their own [=DVDs=] of it. ''PAW Patrol'' is a notable case: while the American DVD releases by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} tend to repeat episodes, Kaboom's Canadian releases include all the episodes of each season in a random order and are released in box sets once the season gets completed that usually never hit the American marketplace, which is common for most of their shows. [[note]] Only one show that [=KaBoom=] distributed in Canada, ''WesternAnimation/TheBerenstainBears'', also got a season set release from its' US distributor, Creator/PBSKids. [[/note]] However, some of the Canadian ''Rolie Polie Olie'' [=DVDs=] have shown up at liquidator stores like Oops! Outlet and Book Warehouse in the United States, and some Canadian ''PAW Patrol'' releases were sold for a short time on the American Wal-Mart website. [[note]] It is rather justified, though, as [=WalMart=] also sells other Canadian-exclusive Kaboom titles including releases of ''WesternAnimation/JacobTwoTwo'' and ''WesternAnimation/ElliotMoose''.[[/note]]
159	** Parents who live outside North America who want to buy themselves merchandise (especially clothing items and housewares) with all the pups on it are out of luck. While most North American companies got the note about Skye and Everest being missing from merchandise as of 2019, most overseas merchandise producers haven't, resulting in only Skye, Everest and the occasional Marshall appearing on girls' merchandise and the girls being missing from boys' merchandise, meaning that the best thing to do would be purchasing such merchandise from overseas.
160	* ''WesternAnimation/PostmanPat: Special Delivery Service'' hasn't aired in the US at all, thanks to Creator/DreamWorksSKG's acquisition of Classic Media's properties wiping out all of their qubo programming save for ''WesternAnimation/GuessWithJess'' (ironically, it's a SpinOff of ''Postman Pat'') and ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins''.
161	* Most [[CanadianSeries Canadian-produced cartoons]] fall under this trope in Japan, with some of the only ones to be released there being ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CampLakebottom'', ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel'', ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'', ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'', ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'', ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'', ''WesternAnimation/NumbChucks'', and various streaming series (such as Netflix, Prime Video or Apple TV+).
162	* While plenty of Canada's animated series have aired in the United States, there are also a significant number that haven't -- most of which are, unsurprisingly, extremely obscure outside of Canada. Examples include ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'', ''WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Wishfart}}'', ''WesternAnimation/ThreeAmigonauts'', ''WesternAnimation/ChucksChoice'', ''WesternAnimation/ChopChopNinja'', ''WesternAnimation/FredsHead'', ''WesternAnimation/DelilahAndJulius'', ''WesternAnimation/UrbanVermin'',''WesternAnimation/ProducingParker'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow''.
163	* Despite ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' being an American produced series, merchandise showing Sofia in her season 4 outfit has not been released in the US, only Japan so far.
164	* The obscure Fox Family cartoon ''WesternAnimation/MonsterFarm'' (not to be confused with the ''VideoGame/MonsterRancher'' video game series or its [[Anime/MonsterRancher anime]] that also aired on Fox Family, which was called ''Monster Farm'' in Japan) had 26 episodes (52 segments) produced, but only half of them aired in America.
165	* Shows that originally aired on Creator/PBSKids usually never make it to Japan, though there have been a few exceptions. They are:
166	** ''Series/SesameStreet'', which had both a dub and a co-production.
167	** ''Series/BetweenTheLions'', which aired on [=NHK=]
168	** ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'', which aired on Kids' Station and had several DirectToVideo releases of the original English episodes
169	** ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'', which aired on Creator/CartoonNetwork
170	** ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'', which aired on TV Tokyo and Anime Theater X in the late 90's.
171	** ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'', which aired on NHK and Disney Junior.
172	** ''WesternAnimation/FrannysFeet'', which aired on Cartoon Network and Creator/DisneyChannel.
173	** ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'', which aired on TV Tokyo.
174	** ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld'', which aired on Playhouse Disney.
175	** ''Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog'', which aired on Cartoon Network.
176	** ''Series/TheElectricCompany1971'', which aired on TV Tokyo.
177	** ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', which aired on Fuji TV, TV Tokyo, NHK, and even Cartoon Network as well.
178	* Likewise, most Cartoon Network shows weren't shown in Germany before the channel launched there in 2005. The only exceptions are ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'', which were both shown on Prosieben, ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', which aired on Super RTL, and ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'', which was shown on ORF 1.
179	* Anything past season 1 of ''WesternAnimation/NatureCat'' has not been given a release outside the US. This is most likely because the show did poorly overseas, so Creator/NineStoryMediaGroup decided not to sell the remaining seasons of the show to international networks. It also doesn't help that some major countries, like Australia and the UK, never got the entire series at all (although the show did receive a release on the Discovery Kids Channel on Amazon Channels, it never aired on television in the UK).
180	* ''WesternAnimation/SidTheScienceKid'' and ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'' never came to Poland for unknown reasons.
181	* ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' has not seen a release outside the U.S, Latin America, and Africa, whereas ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' has not seen a release outside the U.S, Brazil and Canada. This is most likely a number of factors, with the major reason probably being that PBS distributes these shows and doesn't really sell their shows to other networks, unless they're made by another company like ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' and ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood''. Another factor is that both shows will most likely not do well in international markets, as the ''Pinkalicious'' books aren't really well-known outside North America, while ''Molly of Denali'' focuses on Alaskan culture.
182	** However, ''Molly'' premiered in Iran and Turkey in 2021.
183	* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' has never aired in Iceland or Southeast Asia (except Singapore and Thailand).
184	* For reasons unknown (probably due to showing the history of the United States), ''WesternAnimation/SchoolhouseRock'' never saw a release outside of North America until 2020, when Creator/DisneyPlus added the show to its platform in Singapore and Australia.
185	** The only foreign dub of ''Schoolhouse Rock!'' is a Canadian French dub of ''Earth Rock!''
186	* The first three seasons of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' are available for people to watch across multiple regions of the world. However, seasons 4, 5 and 6 are restricted to Region 1 only, making it near impossible for other region users to see the conclusion. No explanation has been given for this decision.
187	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' never saw a release in Norway, though [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros the characters do appear in the dubs of]] ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}''.
188	** On the topic of ''Animaniacs'', the reboot is a Hulu exclusive, making it exclusive to the United States, though it would eventually see releases in Canada (on Creator/{{Teletoon}}) and Latin America (on Creator/HBOMax).
189	* To date, there are no plans for DVD releases for ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfZelda1989'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3'' and ''WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld'' in the United Kingdom, especially as the latter two have not been seen on UK TV again after UK children's channel Pop stopped airing Creator/{{DiC\|Entertainment}}'s shows in 2010, thus resulting in many importing the DVD releases from the United States.
190	* Two Creator/CartoonNetwork shows, ''WesternAnimation/AppleAndOnion'' and ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', still haven't aired in Japan as of December 2021.
191	* All six seasons of the entire Creator/{{CITV}} era of ''WesternAnimation/GrizzlyTalesForGruesomeKids'' were released onto DVD, but only in Australia, with it's native country (United Kingdom) only getting two VHS releases and an 8-episode DVD.
192	* The original run of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' was never aired in Albania for unknown reasons.
193	** In September 2023, Netflix rereleased the first two seasons of the long-lost Dutch dub, marking it's first release since the show was pulled by Cartoon Network in 2015, but Dutch audio's only available for the series in the Netherlands and Belgium, which means for people outside those two countries, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the dub remains scarce]].
194	* The Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises adaptation of ''Literature/DoctorDolittle'' was released on DVD, but only in Germany, with the show remaining [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes DVD-less for the rest of the world]].
195	* Because of the [[BannedInChina Kenyan media ban]] [[https://www.news24.com/Channel/kenyas-uninformed-ban-on-tv-shows-with-gay-characters-is-extremely-dangerous-20170622 in 2017]], four of the seven cartoons from the West fall under this trope when broadcast region-wide in sub-saharan Africa:
196	** ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Season 2 onwards
197	** ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': Season 2 onwards
198	** ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''
199	** ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''
200	* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has not seen a release in the Middle East, due to the show's LGBT content.
201	* This trope lead to ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotomy}}'''s demise. Creator/CartoonNetwork couldn't convince ''any'' foreign networks to air the show (most likely due to its violent content), and as a result they [[ScrewedByTheNetwork saw no point in pushing it]], so it became the [[ShortRunners shortest-lived Cartoon Network original]].
202	* As of Season 1, ''WesternAnimation/FacesMusicParty'' can only be seen in the United States and Canada, which is odd, considering that the Face bumpers from Nick Jr. were also used (at least) in the United Kingdom, Australia and parts of Latin America.
203	* The third ''WesternAnimation/RobbieTheReindeer'' short, "Close Encounters of the Herd Kind", aired exactly once on BBC and is only available on the UK-exclusive "Whole Herd" DVD and nowhere else. Never aired in the United States, it is impossible to find/watch outside the aforementioned UK DVD release, though given the quality of the short in comparison to its predecessors, probably for good reason.
204	* ''WesternAnimation/PinkyDinkyDoo'' never aired in Scandinavia (except Iceland), the Netherlands, Russia, nor China under any capacity.
205	* ''WesternAnimation/DorgVanDango'': Despite airing outside of its home countries (Ireland and Canada) on Nickelodeon, for some reason, the US Nickelodeon never picked the show up. It's never been broadcast on any other US network either as of June 2023.
206	* ''WesternAnimation/TheKoalaBrothers'' never made it to Albania, with the exception of the extra-length ChristmasEpisode, "Outback Christmas".
207	* The obscure cartoon ''The Twisted Whiskers Show'' never made it to Poland.
