For [[GatewaySeries better]] or [[{{Macekre}} worse]], this show introduced France to a number of {{anime}}s and [[{{Toku}} tokusatsu series]] -- French audiences got their first taste of ''Manga/DragonBall'', ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and countless others there. Animes were already broadcast on French TV in TheEighties, but not on such a massive scale. It did not go without some infamous AnimationAgeGhetto controversies, but undeniably left a mark, considering the country's modern appetite for animes.

The ''Club Dorothée'' ended when [=TF1=] severed its association with Azoulay and AB Productions [[ScrewedByTheNetwork in some still unexplained circumstances]] in 1997, and also because its audience ratings started to dwindle due to increasingly competitive shows such as ''Series/LesMinikeums'' on France 3.

* InconsistentDub: Notorious victims of this, sometimes giving the impression that the dubbing actors only had a vague idea of what was going on, let alone being able to understand Japanese or having adequate translation work done for them.

* CelebrityStar: Famous hawaiian shirts-wearing singer and BigFun celebrity Yvan-Chrysostome Dolto a.k.a. Carlos was a sponsor of the show and regularly showed up in it over its ten years of existence. He even had [[CelebrityToons his own animated series]], which was broadcast in the show.
* GagNose: Dorothée was famously drawn in cartoon form with a huge long pointy nose, by the late cartoonist Cabu. It became a trademark of her, featured in many of her album artwork, animated segments, etc. While there were jokes about her nose, she was always treated positively and as attractive in those cartoons.

The ''Club Dorothée'' was a hugely popular French [[SaturdayMorningKidsShow morning and afternoon kids show]] that, for many members of the generation that watched it, came to be fondly associated with TheNineties, and remains a heavy hitter in many a French nostalgia-driven work or event about the era. It aired on the [=TF1=] channel from 1987 to 1997.

!!Tropes

!!The show provides examples of:

* BadassBeard: Corbier has a big bushy beard, that became some kind of trademark of his, even being subject to a wacky novelty song he did.

!!Animes featured in the show provide examples of:

* ThinlyVeiledDubCountryChange: Along with the name changes, the dialogue was also rewritten to imply those anime were set in France, despite the very Japanese look of the environment. An infamous example is ''Manga/AiShiteNight'', which namedrops many parts of Paris (such as the Bercy concert complex).

* DubNameChange: A number of anime series broadcast in the show had their characters' Japanese names turned into French names, specially those that took place in fairly normal urban settings, for fear of the Japanese names being too confusing for young French viewers.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: Happened all the time to Japanese and American cartoons broadcast here. The opening songs for them were sung by people from the show, most (in)famously Bernard Minet and Ariane Carletti a.k.a. Ariane, one of Dorothée's five regular co-hosts. Although, for some of the anime series listed above (such as ''Captain Tsubasa'', ''Attacker You'', or ''Creamy Mami''), the alternative openings were not made by this show, because these animes originally aired on ''La Cinq'', a now dead channel which also also had its own alternative theme songs for anime series.
