Western Animation: Chucklewood Critters

Chucklewood Critters was an American line of television specials and an animated TV series, which centered on two woodland animals: Buttons, a young bear cub, and Rusty, a fox cub. It started as a Christmas special in 1983 called The Christmas Tree Train, followed by eight more holiday/seasonal specials. In 1997 it was developed into a series titled The New Chucklewood Critters, which ran for two seasons.

Tropes include:

Ambiguously Evil: Selma is thought to be this at first, but she's really a case of Dark Is Not Evil.
Cool Old Guy: Franklin, the owl
Cowardly Lion: Eugene the skunk from Scenter Of Attention.
Cross-Dressing Voices: BOTH Buttons and Rusty.
Cunning Like a Fox: Rusty.
Gang of Critters
Keet: Rusty is pretty much this.
Shrinking Violet: Eugene
Tear Jerker: Scenter Of Attention. ESPECIALLY the parts 4:31-4:36 and 9:44-9:50
Viewer Gender Confusion: Rusty could be this way at times, especially in the Halloween special, where he dons a Witch's hat and is prone to more feminine mannerisms.
The Woobie: Eugene
