** Many western fans consider "Turnabout Big Top" in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'' the worst case in the entire series, finding the wacky circus members annoying and unlikable and the supposed SympatheticMurderer to be UnintentionallyUnsympathetic. Japanese fans generally like it, and it came fifth in a Japanese survey of cases that "left the greatest impression" on fans.

* The Arabic animated series, ''Animation/Block13'' is often considered legendary in its native Kuwait with it getting constant merchandise, reruns on other networks, and even a spin-off. However, in English-speaking countries it manages to be both this and GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff, as due to its striking resemblance to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (as the series is an adaptation of said series), it's received a split reception (especially from people who are fans of ''South Park''). One side absolutely despises the series with it gaining a PeripheryHatedom as a result with people calling it a rip-off of ''South Park''. However, the other side accepted its similarites and enjoyed it.

* Pachinko is as popular in the US as pinball is in Japan. For a lot of people in the US, playing pachinko means about as much as watching it, or rather, watching balls roll towards their destination. This only [[FromBadToWorse worsened]] in 2015 when Creator/{{Konami}}, in the midst of their various scandals, announced a FanService-laden pachislot spinoff of ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' and recreated an iconic scene from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' to promote a ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' pachinko machine shortly after ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain''[='=]s release (which was laden with ExecutiveMeddling that, among other things, resulted in ''Metal Gear'' series creator Creator/HideoKojima leaving Konami), which seriously soured Western gamers' opinions of pachinko, causing them to condemn any and all pachinko spinoffs of video games going forward.

The TropeNamer is Tingle from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, who's well-liked in Japan but hated in North America. Website/TheOtherWiki even has a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tingle_(character)#Impact_and_reception section]] on the article for the character discussing this phenomenon.

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', while a critical and box-office success elsewhere, was a general flop in Eastern Europe. Many explanations have been raised. The less imaginative is that not many people there had seen the [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 previous]] [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 two]] films because of economic troubles right after the fall of Communism in the 1990s, resulting in ''3'''s ContinuityPorn lacking appeal. Another one of them (mostly for Poland) is that during movie's release, ''Sunshine Barry & the Disco Worms'' came out the same week, and despite ''Franchise/ToyStory'' franchise being quite popular there, haven't gained that many viewers in cinemas. Polish distributors took their lesson from it and have decided to release ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' 1 and half month later from international release, due to ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets2'''s premiere.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' lost out to ''TabletopGame/Cyberpunk2020'' in Poland, despite both games being localized and supplemental material for both being released. Apparently, the mix of UrbanFantasy and cyberpunk genres put people off.

* ''Franchise/MickeyMouse'' of all characters is widely disliked in the Germanosphere in favor of Franchise/DonaldDuck, as he is considered to be boring and less relatable than Donald. The German paperback format of the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Donald Duck comics]] (which is the most popular Donald Duck or Mickey Mouse medium in Germany) contains some [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse comics]], further fueling dislike of Mickey since [[JustHereForGodzilla Donald-only fans]] feel like they're getting cheated out of a Donald story.

* "Future" Comicbook/WonderWoman, Yara Flor, was one of the most popular new characters in ''Comicbook/DCFutureState'', being rivaled only by the [[TheSpook mysterious]] "Future" Comicbook/{{Batman}}. She was popular in the United States anyway. In Brazil there was backlash to the very concept of Yara Flor, before anything other than "Amazon Of The Amazon" was revealed about her. Almost everything that has been revealed about Flor since has made Brazilian critics to bash her even more, especially indigenous Brazilian observers and indigenous females in particular. Some of the kindest critics described Flor as a Mexican Beyonce with Suyane Moreira's face, suggesting the artist used the first Cariri picture available as a reference and then wrote the character with the most common minority stereotypes of the midwestern US, rather than trying to make Flor seem like an Indigenous Brazilian or even a South American.

* Ride/DisneyThemeParks
** Disneyland Paris was initially despised by the French people, citing poor (by French standards, anyway) working conditions and seeing it as a sign of [[EaglelandOsmosis American cultural imperialism]].

*** He was a huge hit when he was introduced in [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Tokyo Disneyland]]. When he was brought to America in 2010, many wondered "[[CanonForeigner Who the hell is that?]]" and "[[CreatorsPet Why is he everywhere?]]" It appears as though America does not get the appeal of Mickey Mouse's little plushy friend, in part because he doesn't appear in any other Disney media (the animated canon, shorts, TV shows, etc.), as well as not accounting the cultural differences on why he got famous in Japan. Despite that, there are still fans of Duffy and his friends stateside, but not enough to consider bringing him back a second time in the parks.
*** An earlier version of Duffy was NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: The Disney Bear was introduced at Once Upon a Toy in Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney (later renamed Disney Springs) in 2004 as an attempt at [[FollowTheLeader breaking into]] the Build-a-Bear market, but it came "pre-built", and the reception was lukewarm at best. Plans for his introduction at Disneyland (which had an actual Build-a-Bear store in their Downtown Disney by then) were cancelled, and he was pulled from Disney World (which now has its own Build-A-Bear store) just three years later.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}'' may be iconic in Japan, but it barely has any fans in the west, partly due to its depressing tone and infamous AudienceAlienatingEnding ([[ItWasHisSled spoiler: Misuzu dies from her curse]]) turning off potential fans.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' wasn't much of a hit in China, despite famous voice actors such as Creator/JackieChan and adapting a local folk tale. Some blame piracy, some worry that the native audience took issue with [[BroadStrokes the extensive reworking]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks of the original myth]], and some point to the fact that the Chinese government was in the middle of a bitter and spiteful dispute with the Walt Disney corporation and forced the film to languish for a year before letting it out with an unfavorable release date just after the Chinese New Year's celebration stuffed the box office with other films. Ten years later, [=DreamWorks=]'s ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' would prove much more to Chinese tastes, with much less behind-the-scenes drama.

* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' has had difficulty breaking into Asian markets. In particular, Japanese audiences have particularly expressed concern about Grif, whose laziness and irreverence for authority is very much out of sync with their culture. Which is quite ironic, considering that [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Japan loves]] ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', which was made by [[Creator/RoosterTeeth the same people]].

* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' is decently popular in its native United States. In other English-speaking countries, it's not quite as popular; in non-English-speaking countries, it has even fewer fans. The disparity can be seen by [[http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Strong_Bad_Email_By_Place the demographics of people]] who [[FourthWallMailSlot send in emails]] — most are from the US, some are from Canada, Australia, or the UK, and only a handful are from elsewhere. The series relies heavily on references to American pop culture and wordplay specific to American English, meaning it has difficulty finding an audience outside of the US. This is joked about a few times in the series, with ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'' depicting Strong Bad as [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE22 banned in the UK]] and [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE111OtherDays running a separate show for Eastern European viewers.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Unlike in most of the world, where people found Lumalee to be one of the funniest characters in the movie due to his BlackComedy, it seems that Japanese audiences were less fond of the character, to the point where some wondered why he was even in the movie or what the point of his character was. The most likely reason for this is his lines being faithfully translated with next to no liberties taken combined with ValuesDissonance regarding cultural views on death.

* In 1905, a French newspaper began publishing a comic strip about a young housemaid called ComicStrip/{{Becassine}}. This strip was popular across most of France and is widely considered to be the founding of the [[FrancoBelgianComics bande dessinée]] (the ComicBook tradition of France and Belgium that gave us the aforementioned ''Tintin'', ''Astérix'', and ''De Kiekeboes''). However, it was deeply unpopular in one region of France: Brittany. You see, Bécassine was supposed to be Breton, but she didn't really act like a Breton woman; where the portrayal of her wasn't stereotypical, it was ludicrously off-the-mark. The comic ended up being so hated in Brittany that when a Breton man in Paris saw a giant statue of her, he destroyed it.

* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' was well-received by critics and audiences alike, but it was [[VindicatedByHistory at first]] universally ''hated'' by the Greeks, who were angered at the film [[{{Disneyfication}} playing]] [[LighterAndSofter fast]] [[SadlyMythtaken and]] [[TheThemeParkVersion loose]] with their revered mythology, to the point where they almost denied the film a premiere in their country (the attempt to have the film premiere there on Pnyx Hill, one of the most revered sacred sites in the country, did not do them any favors PR-wise).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' wasn't much of a hit in China, despite famous voice actors such as Creator/JackieChan and adapting a local folk tale. Some blame piracy, some worry that the native audience took issue with [[BroadStrokes the extensive reworking]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks of the original myth]], and some point to the fact that the Chinese government was in the middle of a bitter and spiteful dispute with the Walt Disney corporation and forced the film to languish for a year before letting it out with an unfavorable release date just after the Chinese New Year's celebration stuffed the box office with other films. Ten years later, [=DreamWorks=]'s ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' would prove much more to Chinese tastes, with much less behind-the-scenes drama.

* ''WesternAnimation/TerkelInTrouble'' was considered ground-breaking in its native Denmark and fellow Scandinavian countries when it first released, often being considered a cult classic. However, outside Scandinavia, especially in the United States and (some-what) the United Kingdom, certain viewers criticized elements such as [[WorldOfJerkass the way the characters act]], [[NightmareFuel disturbing scenes you wouldn't expect to see in your average animated films]], poor voice acting in both US and UK dubs (mostly the former), [[ButtMonkey and the main character constantly getting tortured]], with people also making unfavorable comparisons to other films and shows such as ''WesternAnimation/SirBilli'' and ''WesternAnimation/StressedEric'' (both of which were critically panned, even in their respective countries, Scotland and the UK).
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', while a critical and box-office success elsewhere, was a general flop in Eastern Europe. Many explanations have been raised. The less imaginative is that not many people there had seen the [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory1 previous]] [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory2 two]] films because of economic troubles right after the fall of Communism in the 1990s, resulting in ''3'''s ContinuityPorn lacking appeal.

* Discussed in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'': Homer's second attempt at an epiphany amounts to [[SoccerHatingAmericans "Americans will never embrace soccer."]]

* ''[[WesternAnimation/TheMagicRoundabout2005 Doogal]]'' is probably one of the most notorious examples of this in animated film history. Based on the British-French stop-motion children's show from the '60s, the CGI film was originally released in Europe in 2005. Even though the original series and franchise is practically unknown outside of its native France, Harvey Weinstein himself after watching the original film decided to release the film in America in 2006. This was done by recasting all but two of the original British cast with well-known American stars, rewriting the film by inserting pop culture and fart jokes, reediting the film to accommodate all the script changes and advertising the film as being "created" by cartoonist Creator/ButchHartman. The results turned ''Doogal'' into a critical and commercial flop in the United States, continuing to baffle and [[BileFascination intrigue]] film enthusiasts and critics to this day.

** ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'' [[https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Comment/Europe-loves-Asterix-but-can-he-conquer-the-US-asks-Paul-Gabilliet-professor-of-North-American-civilisation-at-Bordeaux-Montaigne-University is thought to]] [[https://www.thedailybeast.com/can-asterix-finally-conquer-the-us be unpopular in part]] because of it being focused around the Roman Empire and Gaul, etc. which Americans aren't generally interested in (as obviously the Romans never got here). It doesn't help several older stories use now-outdated racial depictions (which Papercutz, the current publisher of US translations, has acknowledged in their reprints).

* ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' is a smash hit in its native Japan, but it's mostly loathed everywhere else, due to its attempts to fetishize DomesticAbuse and StockholmSyndrome being seen as insensitive, among other things.
