There were a total of 26 shorts in this series, each about 2 minutes long and intended to be aired between other shows. All the shorts were set at a particular stadium in the middle of the forest, where animal athletes from around the world gathered to participate in all manner of sports, from martial arts to pie-eating contests. As the athletes competed, a wisecracking snake wearing a cap and a shoe on his tail (named Coach John Adder in the English dub) provided commentary on their feats. Of course, things often got pretty wacky during these events, with stuff like a snowboarding whale completely destroying the stadium or kangaroo boxers producing an endlessly smaller and smaller series of fighters from their pouches - and our lovable announcer wasn't always able to escape the mayhem, we might add.

''Sandbox/ZooOlympics''

The show enjoyed broad distribution into multiple languages during its time, even getting a few full DVD releases, as well as a SequelSeries in 1994 called ''Zoo Cup'' (featuring the same host, many of the same animal species, and a similar execution). Unfortunately, episodes of the show or its sequel are almost impossible to find in any language, which is likely a huge factor in its extreme obscurity.

''Sandbox/MonsterLovingManiacs''
[[quoteright:839:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gdn0thbbgaarfhp.jpg]]

''Monster Loving Maniacs'' is a 2022 European animated series created by Rune Christensen and Anders Berthelsen and produced by Denmark's Ja Film with help from Belgium's Ginger Pictures and Belvision, as well as Italy's Mondo TV.

The show follows three siblings - teenage eldest sister Edith, preteen middle brother Ernest, and baby sister Bo - all of whom are united by their obsession and adoration for all things supernatural, monstrous, and horrific. Dubbed by their wildlife conservationist parents as "monster loving maniacs" for their interest, the three kids are sent by their mother to the tiny town of Grusselbrook (famed as the most haunted place on Earth) to stay with their maternal grandfather, whom their mother has never really talked about prior. As it turns out, their grandfather Van Alten shares his grandkids' interest in monsters; in fact, being into monsters is a family trait that happened to skip a generation, with the kids' mom having agreed to leave them with her father if they showed just as much of an obsession with monsters as he did. Naturally, the kids are all too eager to stay with their monster-obsessed grandfather (and his butler Randall) in his fancy old mansion and learn their family's ways.

However, Van Alten isn't interested in monsters the same way his grandkids are. Van Alten, like his ancestors and very much unlike his grandkids, is a HunterOfMonsters. He protects Grusselbrook from its frequent altercations with demons, undead, lycanthropes, and other horrors and abominations, placing these creatures in suspended animation so they may never terrorize humanity. Edith, Ernest, and Bo are not happy to see how their grandfather treats the monsters they love so much, and so they make an agreement with him - they'll stay to train under Van Alten in the ways of dealing with monsters, but in order to study them and learn how to help them coexist with humans instead of capturing and imprisoning them. Van Alten is skeptical of his grandkids' claims of being able to save and protect monsters, but he accepts their deal. Can Edith, Ernest, and Bo prove to their grandfather that monsters are worth protecting instead of capturing, or is Van Alten right about monsters being too dangerous for the world?

''Sandbox/StellaAndSam''

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stella_and_sam.jpg]]

''Stella and Sam'' is the name of a series of children's picture books by Canadian author/illustrator Marie-Louise Gay and her husband David Homel first published in 1999. The series actually consists of three separate but related series of books, all set in Manitoba and featuring the same family and focusing on the two kids - the imaginative and fun-loving 9-year-old Stella and her curious and adventurous 4-year-old brother Sam, both of whom love to explore their outdoors surroundings, learn about their world, and play with their imaginations together.

The books are:
* '''''Stella''''' '''series''':
** ''Stella, Star of the Sea'' (1999)
** ''Stella, Queen of the Snow'' (2000)
** ''Stella, Fairy of the Forest'' (2002)
** ''Stella, Princess of the Sky'' (2004)
** ''When Stella Was Very, Very, Small'' (2009)
** ''Read Me A Story, Stella'' (2013)

* '''''Sam''''' '''series''':
** ''Good Morning, Sam'' (2003)
** ''Good Night, Sam'' (2003)
** ''What Are You Doing, Sam?'' (2006)

* '''''Travels with My Family''''':
** ''Travels With My Family'' (2006)
** ''On the Road Again!'' (2008)
** ''Summer in the City'' (2012)
** ''The Traveling Circus'' (2015)
** ''Travels in Cuba'' (2021)

The books have been very successful and been met with quite a bit of praise from critics. Perhaps then it comes as no surprise that they were given an AnimatedAdaptation in 2011, which was produced (unsurprisingly) in Canada. Specifically, the ''Stella and Sam'' cartoon was produced by Radical Sheep Productions (previously known for ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'' and later to be known for ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow'', incidentally both also adapted from children's books) and brought to life by Creator/MercuryFilmworks. It originally aired on Creator/FamilyJr, running for 2 seasons and 52 episodes. Reruns later popped up in the United States on Sprout (now Creator/UniversalKids) in 2013 and Creator/{{Qubo}} in 2018, as well as Creator/{{CBC}} Kids in Canada (also in 2018).

[[caption-width-right:350:Yes, you are looking at Creator/MrT in a suit and tie.]]

->T.S. Turner was a city-smart kid fighting his way off the street, until he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit. Amy Taler was a young crusading lawyer. She mounted an appeal to put Turner back on the street, this time in a suit and tie, working as a private detective. Together they are -- T. and T.
-->--'''OpeningNarration'''

''T. and T.'' (1987-1990) is a Canadian television series notable for two things - serving as a vehicle for Creator/MrT following the cancellation of ''Series/TheATeam'' and for being one of the few live-action works created by the world-famous animation studio Creator/{{Nelvana}}.

In this series, Mr. T played T.S. Turner alongside Alexandra Amini as Amanda “Amy” Taler. As the OpeningNarration above explains, the two are private detectives of very different backgrounds and very different attitudes. They do the usual kind of stuff you expect from 80s detective/cop shows - coming to the aid of civilians, thwarting criminals around the city, and getting into fights with bad guys while also tackling social and environmental issues of the day. Helping out Turner and Taler every so often were Danforth "Dick" Decker, the owner of the gym where Turner works out; Taler's secretary Sophie; and their occasional ally Detective Jones. Turner also lived with his Aunt Martha and teenage cousin Renee. Later seasons added a teenage orphan named Joe Casper who lived with Decker, Amy's sister Terri Taler, and another detective named Dick Hargrove.

3 seasons and 65 episodes were produced, originally premiering in syndication but later having new episodes broadcasted on Creator/FamilyChannel. Nelvana has made every last one of them available on Youtube through their Retro Rerun channel. [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBZNlAa1UKF7H5HKxQxsWpfnEejunejQk Check them out here!]]

''[[Series/MajorityRules Majority Rules!]]''
[[quoteright:257:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/majorityrules.jpg]]

''Majority Rules!'' is a Canadian children's comedy series created by Creator/EntertainmentOne that is notable for being the first-ever regular live-action program to be commissioned for the Canadian animation channel Creator/{{Teletoon}} (perhaps not coincidentally appearing around the same time Teletoon's American counterpart Creator/CartoonNetwork was also becoming ''very'' interested in live-action programming).

The show is about Rebecca "Becky" Richards (played by Creator/TracySpiridakos), a 15-year-old girl whose life is completely changed when she is elected mayor of her hometown of Mayfield. It follows the day-to-day escapades and mishaps she gets into as she juggles the pressures of her extremely irregular life to the best of her ability. But even despite the difficulties that come with her job at her age, Becky always finds a way to pull through and just keep on smiling - but not without a little help from her best friends, Margo Dubois and Kiki Kincaid.

The show debuted on September 10, 2009 , but ultimately wasn't very long-lived as it came to an end just a year later after 26 episodes. While the series did make a ChannelHop to the perhaps-more-appropriate Creator/FamilyChannel later into its run, it wouldn't be the last piece of live-action TV to be created for Teletoon, as the existence of shows like ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'' and ''Series/{{Mudpit}}'' indicate.

''Series/{{Mudpit}}''
[[quoteright:321:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mudpit.jpg]]

''Mudpit'' is a live-action/CGI-animation hybrid CanadianSeries created by Creator/CookieJarEntertainment that stands out as being one of several mainly-live-action shows commissioned for Canada's national animation network Creator/{{Teletoon}} during the late 2000s and early 2010s (around the same time its American counterpart Creator/CartoonNetwork was trying out the same thing). The show ran for 2 seasons of 26 episodes between January 5, 2012 and April 11, 2013.

The series follows four teenagers named Reese, Geneva, Mikey, and Liam, who form the eponymous band. These four kids seek to earn themselves the recording contract of their dreams so that they can make their way to RockAndRoll stardom. And in this case, they're chasing that dream by competing in the popular {{MMORPG}} ''Muzika'', where bands enter the game as avatars of themselves and compete in challenges given and judged by the condescending host Slime (voiced by the Toronto voice acting legend Creator/RobertTinkler). In every episode, the members of Mudpit gather at their favorite hangout spot to enter ''Muzika'' and take one of Slime's challenges. But as they attempt to win ''Muzika'''s challenges and finally get noticed, Mudpit will also have to contend with Reese's stepbrother Kyle, the leader of a rival band that Reese was formerly a member of, now willing to do whatever it takes to get one of Reese or ruin his day. Oh, and OncePerEpisode, Mudpit performs an original song.

''WesternAnimation/LittleRosey''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_rosey_new.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:The ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' spinoff you've never heard of.]]

At the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s, the famous UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}} animation studio Creator/{{Nelvana}} produced many hit animated series that are fondly remembered by plenty of Canadian and American children to this day: ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rupert}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin|1991}}''... But sandwiched between these acclaimed and beloved cartoons is one very obscure creation of the same studio known and remembered by only a very few people - and that was ''Little Rosey''.

''Little Rosey'' was a {{Celebrity Toon|s}} from 1990 based on the childhood of American actress and comedian Creator/RoseanneBarr, then best known for being the star of Creator/{{ABC}}'s 1988-1997 sitcom ''Series/{{Roseanne}}''. Created for ABC's SaturdayMorningCartoon lineup, ''Little Rosey'' told the story of the 8-year-old Roseanne (known to her friends and family as "Rosey") as she dealt with typical kids' challenges like spelling bees, family vacations, and grown-ups' rules alongside her friends Tess and Buddy using only their vivid imaginations. Also frequently appearing in Rosey's adventures were her parents and her younger sister Nonnie and baby brother Tater, as well as two antagonistic nerds named Jeffrey and Matthew who acted as her archnemeses.

The show didn't last very long, running for only 1 season of 13 episodes between September 8 and December 22 of 1990. As a Canadian production, ''Little Rosey'' used Canadian actors for its cast (many of whom have starred in other Creator/{{Nelvana}} cartoons), with Rosey herself instead being voiced by Toronto-based actress and comedian Creator/KathleenLaskey (who would go on to appear in such Nelvana series as ''WesternAnimation/{{Wayside}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks'').

However, on May 15, 1992, a primetime animated special called ''The Rosey and Buddy Show'' was aired on Creator/{{ABC}}. Also produced by Nelvana, this special took a turn for the weird, with Rosey and Buddy invading Cartoonland to fight ExecutiveMeddling's efforts to "change their show" (yes, really). Alongside having Creator/RoseanneBarr voice her younger animated self this time, the special also featured appearances by characters from other Nelvana-produced cartoons airing on ABC, namely WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}} and some of the WesternAnimation/{{Care Bears|1980s}}.

''WesternAnimation/TheMostMagnificentThing''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_most_magnificent_thing.jpg]]

''The Most Magnificent Thing'' is a 22-minute animated short film produced in Canada by the world-renowned animation studio Creator/{{Nelvana}}. An AnimatedAdaptation of the best-selling children's book of the same name by Canadian author Ashley Spires, this piece of Canadian animation is notable for being the very first animated short film ever created by Nelvana in its 50+ year history.

''The Most Magnificent Thing'' tells the story of a young girl who possesses an inseparable bond with her pet dog. Being the creative and determined child she is, our plucky little heroine decides to build her friend a doghouse after receiving a toolkit for her birthday from her mother (who is an architect). But even despite her determination to build what she calls "the most magnificent thing", she finds that building her dream project is far from easy! But as she learns, with a little inspiration from others and a lot of heart from oneself, anyone is capable of achieving greatness.

The short film features such talents as child voice actress Lily Bartlam, prominent Canadian actress Creator/AlisonPill, Toronto voiceover legend Creator/TonyDaniels, and the one and only Creator/WhoopiGoldberg. It made its debut in 2019, being shown at over 90 film festivals across North America and Europe, where it earned critical acclaim for its animation and storytelling, as well as over 25 award nominations.

Incidentally, this is actually the second work from Nelvana based on a book by Ashley Spires, the first being ''WesternAnimation/AgentBinkyPetsOfTheUniverse'', which was based on her ''Binky the Space Cat'' series.

''WesternAnimation/TheRemarkableMrKing''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_remarkable_mr_king.jpg]]

''The Remarkable Mr. King'' is a Canadian animated PreschoolShow created by Creator/{{Nelvana}} that debuted in 2019 on Creator/TreehouseTV. It is the AnimatedAdaptation of the children's book series ''Mr. King'' by Quebec author Geneviève Côté. The show is designed to teach children about the importance of communicating important feelings and ideas, being mindful, and how to make up for your own mistakes.

The show focuses on a young lion named Mr. King. Taking great pride in his kind's reputation as the ruler of all animals, Mr. King believes that it is his duty as a monarch to help everyone around him. And so Mr. King goes around the forest in search of animals who need his help and coming up with plans to solve their problems. The catch is that as well-meaning as Mr. King is, his "big thinks" are frequently blinded by his own short-sightedness and his tendency to assume he knows everything there is to the situation. As a result, Mr. King's solutions sometimes end up creating even more problems! But Mr. King is never deterred by his failures and will always try and try again until he finally solves the problem and makes things right, sometimes even turning his goofs into victories for everyone to share!

''[[WesternAnimation/HippoTubCo Hippo Tub Co.]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hippo_tub_co.jpg]]

Those of you who know your Canadian cartoons should be well aware of the fact that the vast majority of animated series produced in Canada are virtually unheard of, even by most Canadians. The great Canadian public broadcaster Creator/{{CBC}} seems to have some of the worst luck when it comes to this, its animated output being mostly overshadowed by those of Canadian cable networks oriented at children. In fact, some of its shows are so damn obscure that they've become lost media, with most or even all episodes being unavailable anywhere.

And this show is perhaps the ultimate example.

''Hippo Tub Co.'' is an AllCGICartoon created by David J. Corbett that debuted in 2001 on CBC's KidsBlock and ran for a single 13-episode season. Produced by Octapixx Worldwide, the show asks the question, "What happens to stuff that you lose down the bathroom drain?" And as it turns out, anything you lose down the bathtub ends up in Drainworld, a city where all the objects ever lost in all the world's bathtub drains ends up and is taken in by the eponymous Hippo Tub Co., which is kinda like the world's biggest lost-and-found department. Working at Hippo Tub Co. is Harley, a anthropomorphic blue hippopotamus wearing a transforming yellow bathtub like a pair of suspenders, as well as his best friend Norton, a red bird wearing red rubber boots. These two work as custodians at Hippo Tub Co., itemizing and labelling everything that ends up in Drainworld while also trying to make sure these lost items eventually make their way back to their owners. Alongside handyman Ted Tubman and pack rats Pete and Repete, Harley and Norton get themselves into all sorts of adventures involving all the different kinds of keepsakes that end up in Drainworld and become the focus of everyone’s attention there

[[caption-width-right:350:The main trio from left to right: Greens, Mumble Bumble, and Chic'o]]

''Mumble Bumble'' is a Danish-Canadian children's cartoon that aired on Creator/{{CBC}} Kids in 1998 for 65 episodes. It was created by Christian Skjøtt and produced by the Denmark-based Egmont Imagination and Canada's Montreal-based Creator/{{Cinar}} studio.

The show is about an imaginative blue hippo named Mumble Bumble, whose best friends are an inquisitive red chicken named Chic'o and a busy frog named Greens. Together, these three friends learn about the world around them, using their creativity to have tons of fun and hopefully also teaching their audiences a thing or two in the process.

''WesternAnimation/DoomsdayBrothers''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doomsday_brothers.jpg]]

''Doomsday Brothers'' (or ''Les Frères Apocalypse'') is an adult-oriented cartoon from French-speaking Canada produced by the Montreal-based studio N12 Productions and Toronto's Creator/PortfolioEntertainment (''WesternAnimation/CarlSquared'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Freaktown}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Roboroach}}'').

The show is about two brothers named Rafe and Gabe Burns, dysfunctional survivalists living AfterTheEnd, where mutants and other monstrosities run rampant. The two have found a life in the brutal apocalyptic wastelands as the defenders of a rural town where the few survivors have been mutated into hideous radioactive freaks. Together, Rafe and Gabe, as well as the quirky and frequently unhinged townspeople, navigate life in their dangerous world. However, unbeknownst to the brothers, their mother Judith has also survived doomsday, and is now trapped in a top-secret superpowered bunker alongside a malevolent A.I. known as AENUS. While Judith tries to find a way out of the bunker and find out what caused the apocalypse in the first place, Rafe and Gabe are seeking out the very bunker, for it could potentially save them and all the other survivors.

The show debuted in September 17, 2020 on Creator/TeletoonAtNight's French counterpart Télétoon la nuit (which still continues to run even after its Anglophone counterpart's shutdown in 2019) in Francophone Canada and then came to English-speaking Canada on the Canadian version of Creator/AdultSwim on September 20, 2020.

''WesternAnimation/{{Animism}}''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/animism.jpg]]

Ah, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, a little-known Canadian specialty channel that funds and airs television shows made by, for, and about Canada's First Nations (or Native Americans, as they're known by the Great White North's southern neighbor). The first national public television network by and for North American Indigenous peoples, the APTN does a wide variety of stuff: documentaries, news, dramas, specials, movies, sports, educational programs... and the subject of this page.

''Animism'' is an '''extremely''' obscure Canadian animated series produced for APTN's KidsBlock by the Vancouver media company Zeroes 2 Heroes that mixes First Nations mythology with UrbanFantasy. It tells the story of Melody "Mel" Ravensfall, a 17-year-old girl from Grind City who has joined the environmental activists of Grind City University in fighting off the efforts by the powerful development company Grind City Futures (headed by Chad Peterson) to build over The Gods' Lake. However, her life is changed when an attack by Mel and her friends Duane, Erin, and Nico, on Grind City Futures goes wrong and a mysterious elk-like being named Wapiti appears to rescue her from Chad.

Mel soon learns from Wapiti that her efforts to save The Gods' Lake is in fact just the smallest skirmish in a vast cosmic conflict between three supernatural siblings called The Trickster, The Mother, and The Wetiko. For countless millennia, these great spirits have controlled the cycles of the world, each one being overthrown by the other two joining forces to usher in a new age. However, Wetiko, the one currently in charge, has grown far too powerful for Mother to replace, thus threatening Earth's balance and its future. In order to restore the natural order to its rightful form, the emissaries of Mother and Trickster must join forces, and Wapiti, emissary of Mother, reveals to Mel that she is the current emissary of Trickster, carrying the mysterious ancestral powers needed for her mission - and what's more, Chad is in fact the emissary of Wetiko himself.

Now tasked with dealing with a conflict far larger than what she initially understood, Mel and her friends, as well as Wapiti, face off against Chad, his corporation, and his secret master in a battle to bring the world and its cosmic zeitgeist to its rightful form. But even as the struggle to save Gods' Lake continues under their broader conflict, a terrible secret and an enormous power for good hides beneath the surface of The Gods' Lake, one that has the potential to change everything.

''Animism'' was released in 2013 for a single 6-episode season titled ''Animism: The Gods' Lake'', but it was actually preceded by an alternate reality game called ''Animism: The Sacred Sites'' in the summer of 2010 to promote the series' development and eventual release. While the series gives the fundamental plot by itself, there is also an online adventure game, a graphic novel, and some short stories designed to tell more of the full story in a transmedia fashion or as standalone adventures. A second season called ''Animism: Titan Falls'' was announced to be in development, but that was back in 2014 and nothing has come out since.

''[[WesternAnimation/MonsterByMistake Monster By Mistake!]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monster_by_mistake.png]]

''Monster By Mistake!'' is a Canadian AllCGICartoon was created by Mark Mayerson. It was co-produced between Catapult Productions and CCI Entertainment (formerly Cambium), with the show's computer animation provided by Studio 345.

The series is about 8-year-old Warren Patterson, who suffers from all sorts of allergies. Unfortunately for him, said allergy problem is made worse when he one day comes into contact with a magical jewel from the mysterious parallel world of Fenrath, as the jewel curses him to transform into a giant blue humanoid monster whenever he sneezes! While Warren is able to turn back into his original self simply by sneezing again, being in monster form gets him into all sorts of trouble, particularly with the denizens of Fenrath, namely the evil Gorgool, who had originally created the jewel that cursed Warren for the purpose of taking over Fenrath from his brother Morgool. Fortunately, with a little help from his older sister Tracy (herself a practicing witch after she managed to get one of Gogool's spellbooks) and Johnny B. Dead, a wise-cracking, trumpet-playing ghost who haunts the Pattersons' attic, Warren can always find ways to get out of scrapes just as easily as he gets into them!

The show began life in 1996 as a Halloween special that Creator/{{YTV}} would air yearly, but in 1999, they decided to pick it up as a full TV series that ran for 51 episodes over 3 seasons between 1999 and 2003.

''[[WesternAnimation/BobAndDoug Bob & Doug]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_animated_adventures_of_bob_and_doug_mckenzie.jpg]]

''Series/{{SCTV}}'' is remembered for a lot of things - being one of the most iconic and influential Canadian TV series of all time, being the starting point for some of Hollywood's most beloved Canada-born actors and comedians, and for being one of the few Canadian TV shows to have been successful on American TV, among other things. When the show moved from Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork to Creator/{{CBC}} for its third season in 1980, two of its most iconic characters were born: Bob and Doug [=McKenzie=], a pair of none-too-bright, booze-loving, toque-wearing, and overall extremely stereotypical Canadians played by Creator/RickMoranis and Creator/DaveThomas respectively. These brothers starred in their own little segment, a spoof of panel shows and Canadian Content laws titled "Great White North" (or "Kanadian Korner"), where they commentated on all things quintessentially Canadian while also saying "Eh" a lot and calling each other "hosers". The two ended up becoming pop culture phenomena in both Canada and the United States and mainstays of ''SCTV'''s run, so it should come as no surprise to some that in 2009, the [=McKenzie=] brothers were brought back for their very own cartoon series.

''Bob & Doug'' (or ''The Animated Adventures of Bob & Doug [=McKenzie=]'') is a Canadian animated sitcom produced for Creator/GlobalTelevisionNetwork that brings back Bob and Doug [=McKenzie=] for a new era of television. The brothers are now a pair of garbage collectors living in the town of Maple Lake, a tiny little place located at the US-Canada border just across from the crime and porn-ridden American metropolis of JFK City. As expected, the two get into various misadventures that frequently involve their fellow townspeople.

The series was produced by Animax Entertainment, which was established by Dave Thomas, who reprised Doug [=McKenzie=] for the series. Unfortunately, Rick Moranis did not return to voice Bob, who was in his period of semi-retirement at the time, although he did hop on board as an executive producer alongside Thomas. Instead, American actor and comedian Creator/DaveCoulier took on the role of Bob for the show. Various miscellaneous Canadian actors, including several prominent Toronto-based voice actors, took on the other roles.

The show didn't last particularly long however, running for only 15 episodes, with 5 of them barely seeing any airtime on Global, who had decided to cut the show's run short after initially ordering 22 episodes. And unlike with ''SCTV'', efforts to get the show on American airwaves were unsuccessful, with Creator/{{Fox}} backing out of initial plans to fund the series alongside Global very early on.

''Literature/StellaAndSam''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stella_and_sam.jpg]]

''Stella and Sam'' is the name of a series of children's picture books by Canadian author/illustrator Marie-Louise Gay and her husband David Homel first published in 1999. The series actually consists of three separate but related series of books, all set in Manitoba and featuring the same family and focusing on the two kids - the imaginative and fun-loving 9-year-old Stella and her curious and adventurous 4-year-old brother Sam, both of whom love to explore their outdoors surroundings, learn about their world, and play with their imaginations together.

The books are:
* '''''Stella''''' '''series''':
** ''Stella, Star of the Sea'' (1999)
** ''Stella, Queen of the Snow'' (2000)
** ''Stella, Fairy of the Forest'' (2002)
** ''Stella, Princess of the Sky'' (2004)
** ''When Stella Was Very, Very, Small'' (2009)
** ''Read Me A Story, Stella'' (2013)

* '''''Sam''''' '''series''':
** ''Good Morning, Sam'' (2003)
** ''Good Night, Sam'' (2003)
** ''What Are You Doing, Sam?'' (2006)

* '''''Travels with My Family''''':
** ''Travels With My Family'' (2006)
** ''On the Road Again!'' (2008)
** ''Summer in the City'' (2012)
** ''The Traveling Circus'' (2015)
** ''Travels in Cuba'' (2021)

The books have been very successful and been met with quite a bit of praise from critics. Perhaps then it comes as no surprise that they were given an AnimatedAdaptation in 2011, which was produced (unsurprisingly) in Canada. Specifically, the ''Stella and Sam'' cartoon was produced by Radical Sheep Productions (previously known for ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'' and later to be known for ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow'', incidentally both also adapted from children's books) and brought to life by Creator/MercuryFilmworks. It originally aired on Creator/FamilyJr, running for 2 seasons and 52 episodes. Reruns later popped up in the United States on Sprout (now Creator/UniversalKids) in 2013 and Creator/{{Qubo}} in 2018, as well as Creator/{{CBC}} Kids in Canada (also in 2018).

The studio is known for its work on children's shows, including puppet series, live-action works, and cartoons. Their most famous production is doubtlessly ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'', which earned them a great deal of critical acclaim, including multiple awards. However, they are also well remembered for their puppetry, having constructed beloved icons of Canadian kids TV like Series/{{Zoboomafoo}} and Ruffus the Dog through their puppet workshop Sheep Shop until its shutdown in 2002. Later on in their life, they also created {{Animated Adaptation}}s of kids books, such as ''WesternAnimation/StellaAndSam'' (based on the ''Stella'' and ''Sam'' series by Marie-Louise Gay), ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow'' (based on ''Bagel's Lucky Hat'' by Dave Cooper), and ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' (based on the ''Fangbone! Third Grade Barbarian'' series by Michael Rex).

[[https://www.ellipseanimation.com/ Ellipse Animation]] (also known as Le Studio Ellipse, Ellipse Programme, and Ellipsanime) is a French animation studio based in Paris. It was established in 1987 by Philippe Gildas and Robert Rea.

Ellipse is easily one of the biggest names in the French animation industry, having quickly made a reputation for itself in the early 1990s due to their work on many critically acclaimed French cartoons, like ''WesternAnimation/TroubleWithSophie'' and ''WesternAnimation/PirateFamily''. They are also well known for their hit co-productions with famed Canadian studio Creator/{{Nelvana}}, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rupert}}'', ''WesternAnimation/BlazingDragons'', and, most famously, ''WesternAnimation/{{The Adventures of Tintin|1991}}''. Their ''Tintin'' animated series in particular has gone down in the eyes of many as one of the greatest cartoons in the history of both the Canadian and European animation industry.

In 2003, the studio was acquired by the French entertainment conglomerate Media-Participations, which itself already owned the FrancoBelgianComics publishing company Dargaud (famed for ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'', and ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke''), and would later acquire Dargaud's longtime rival Dupuis of ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'' and ''ComicBook/BillyAndBuddy'' fame. Dargaud and Dupuis already had animation studios of their own, established in 1967 and 1959 respectively to produce {{Animated Adaptation}}s of their own properties, such as the 1981 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|1981}}'' cartoon (a co-production with Creator/HannaBarbera) and the 1967 movie version of ''WesternAnimation/AsterixTheGaul''. As a result, many of Ellipse's new productions were released in collaboration with and under the Dargaud and Dupuis label, including the 2021 ''WesternAnimation/{{The Smurfs|2021}}'' cartoon, ''WesternAnimation/{{Yakari}}: A Spectacular Journey'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow''. As you can tell, many of their productions are adaptations of comic books, ranging from popular Franco-Belgian series and American brands like the above-named works to manga like ''Dream Land'' and even African comics like ''Akissi''. They also produced France's very first animated Youtube series, ''Roger and His Humans'' - and yes, it's based on a comic book (on top of also being the first foray into adult animation).

In 2022, Media-Participations decided to consolidate Ellipse, Dargaud Media, and Dupuis Edition & Audiovisual under the Ellipse Animation label. Previously, Ellipse's productions had been released under Dupuis and Dargaud's labels, but the change meant that now Ellipse would be the name that all previous and future animated works from Dargaud and Dupuis would be known under.

** ''Yakari: The Sequel''''

The books have been very successful and been met with quite a bit of praise from critics. Perhaps then it comes as no surprise that they were given an AnimatedAdaptation in 2011, which was produced in Canada - something that is even less surprisingly if you actually know anything about Canadian animation and kids' TV in that country. Specifically, the ''Stella and Sam'' cartoon was produced by Radical Sheep Productions (previously known for ''Series/TheBigComfyCouch'' and later to be known for ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheBagelAndBeckyShow'', incidentally both also adapted from children's books) and brought to life by Creator/MercuryFilmworks.

Reruns later popped up in the United States on Sprout (now Creator/UniversalKids) in 2013 and Creator/{{Qubo}} in 2018, as well as Creator/{{CBC}} Kids in Canada (also in 2018).

Those of you who actually know about their Canadian cartoons should be well aware of the fact that the vast majority of animated series produced in Canada are virtually unheard of, even by most Canadians. The great Canadian public broadcaster Creator/{{CBC}} seems to have some of the worst luck when it comes to this, its animated output being mostly overshadowed by those of Canadian cable networks oriented at children. In fact, some of its shows are so damn obscure that they've become lost media, with most or even all episodes being unavailable anywhere.

''Doomsday Brothers'' (or ''Les Frères Apocalypse'') is an adult-oriented cartoon from French-speaking Canada produced by the Montreal-based studio N12 Productions and Toronto's Creator/PortfolioEntertainment.

''Sandbox/BaDaBean''

[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ba_da_bean___poster_29.png]]

''Ba Da Bean'' is a Brazilian-American animated PreschoolShow that debuted on Creator/DiscoveryKids Latin America in 2021. The creation of Brazilian animator Pedro Eboli (the mind behind such cartoons as ''WesternAnimation/OlliesPack'', ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Oswaldo}}''), the series is a co-production between Brazil's famed Creator/BirdoStudio (which also did ''Oswaldo'' and ''Cupcake & Dino'') and the Brazilian- American company Chatrone.

The series follows the adventures of Bean, a potted plant grown for an elementary school science project. One day however, Bean ends up far outside his home in the school's science classroom and finds himself in a bright and colorful world of endless possibilities and unlimited creativity - the school's art classroom! Fascinated by this strange and unfamiliar world, Bean, ever the restless young scientist, is quick to befriends the art classroom's inhabitants and becomes determined to discover everything he can about his new home. And in a world where creativity is not just encouraged, but celebrated, Bean will find that this new environment and its artistic approach to life might be the best thing that could have ever happened to him!

A sandbox for series that I, Tropers/MagnusForce, might launch pages for in the future, but don't have any tropes to add to them yet.

All of these shows I've never seen and have only heard of, so tropers who have seen these shows and feel like they can add tropes and launch a work page may freely appropriate these as they wish. Just inform me if you have done so - that way I can know the page has been launched and respond appropriately.

Cyber Group Studios is a French animation studio based in Paris and established on August 11, 2004 (as Cyber Group Animation) by former Euro Disney executives Pierre Sissmann, Dominique Bourse, Billy "Frédéric" Richard, and Olivier Lelardoux, and Cécilia Bossel.

Although a relatively new name on the French animation scene, they've quickly proven themselves to be a forced to be reckoned with in the European animation industry. They've made kids' cartoons for every age range, from {{Preschool Show}}s to tween cartoons, and in many genres, from wacky slapstick comedies to action-adventure shows.

[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alphanim.png]]

'''Alphanim''' is a French animation studio based in Vincennes (a suburb of Paris) and founded by Christian Davin in 1997. In 2008, the studio was acquired by French film company Creator/{{Gaumont}} to get their foot back into television and WesternAnimation, having previously sold their TV division in 1999 and lost their animation division Gaumont Multimedia after it split off to become Creator/{{Xilam}} that same year. Consequently, Alphanim was renamed '''Gaumont Animation''' in 2013 (do '''NOT''' get them confused with Xilam's old identity).

Whether as Alphanim or Gaumont Animation, the studio has made many contributions to the world of European animation, having created such cartoons as ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/DudeThatsMyGhost''. However, they have also been very involved in Canadian and American animation. With the former, they have co-produced many shows with famed Canadian studios like Creator/{{Cinar}}, Creator/{{Nelvana}}, and Creator/MercuryFilmworks on series like ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'', ''WesternAnimation/DeltaState'', ''WesternAnimation/MonaTheVampire'', the first season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Redwall}}'', and the last season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Franklin}}''. With the latter, they have done work on a few series made for Creator/{{Netflix}}, such as ''WesternAnimation/FIsForFamily'' and ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiRabbitTheUsagiChronicles''.

Gaumont Animation, formerly known as Alphanim, is a French animation studio based in Vincennes, a suburb of Paris. Founded by Christian Davin in 1997, the studio was acquired in 2008 by French film company Creator/{{Gaumont}} as a replacement to their old animation studio (now known as Creator/{{Xilam}}), being rebranded from Alphanim to its current name in 2013.

Whether as Alphanim or Gaumont Animation, the studio has made many contributions to the world of European animation, but has also been very involved in Canadian and American animation, co-producing many shows with famed Canadian studios like Creator/{{Cinar}}, Creator/{{Nelvana}}, and Creator/MercuryFilmworks, while also doing work on series made for Creator/{{Netflix}}.
