Tropes associated with Xing Xing:
- Troubled Production: The company was caught in a crossfire after a Fireman Sam episode from season 9, "Troubled Waters", gained controversy and almost got banned from circulation due to someone from the studio adding a page of The Qur'an script that Elvis Cridlington accidentally slipped overContext . As a result of this, HIT Entertainment ended up cutting ties with them completely and they were eventually replaced by WildBrain to do the animation services starting with season 11.
