* In the early 1990s, before Creator/DiC acquired the rights to the North American release of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', an outfit called Toon Makers [[WesternAnimation/ToonMakersSailorMoon made a bid for them]]. As part of their pitch, TM made a short demo film of what they wanted to do with the property. They threw out the original cast and diversified the cast of all-Japanese girls into two white girls (one of which is in a wheelchair), a black girl, and a Hispanic girl. Curiously, only one was kept Asian (Mars), and the leader is one of the white girls. The result is often called "Saban Moon" or "The Saban Nightmare" due to people mistaking the relatively unknown TM for a more well-known company.

Francine is Jewish, The Brain is black, Muffy is the "rich kid", and they later introduced Carl, who's on the autism spectrum, as the disabled character.

An unusual example, as Uniqua is the only one to appear in every single episode and Austin is absent from more episodes than anyone else.

* ''Literature/TheMagicSchoolBus'':
** The cast of the original cartoon is almost mathematically precise: Four boys, four girls. Four white students (one of whom is [[InformedJudaism Jewish]], one British with implied partial Mediterranean descent, one Quebecois, and one Italian), two black students (one of whom is Jamaican), one Asian (of Chinese extraction), and one Hispanic (of Venezuelan extraction). All of them have very different personalities, except for the one who [[TheGenericGuy doesn't have a personality at all]].
** ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBusRidesAgain'' changes it up a bit as the white Phoebe has been been replaced. This means that the class consists of three white students, one latino student, two Asian students (Wanda and the new kid, East Indian Jyoti), and two black students.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'':
** The main cast. T.J. the chunky, smart-aleck white boy (who's implied to be [[AmbiguouslyJewish Jewish]]), Gretchen the nerdy white girl with glasses, Spinelli the Italian tough girl, Vince the athletic black boy, Mikey the big-bodied, over-dramatic white boy, and Gus the nebbishy white boy with glasses. Actually lampshaded in a Christmas special episode in which the principal tries to put together a culturally diverse Christmas show while complaining about "political correctoids"
** The Ashleys as well. Ashley A. is the stuck-up white leader, Ashley B. is the prissy, sarcastic second-in-command black girl, Ashley Q. is the tough, {{Jerkass}} white girl, and Ashley T. is the quiet Hispanic girl.

* In the same vein as ''South Park'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a surprisingly diverse core cast. The part where this trope truly comes into play, though, is with Peter Griffin and his regular drinking buddies: Peter is the white male leader as well as the "big guy". Cleveland is the token black character, Joe is the disabled one in a wheelchair. And then there's Quagmire, who, while not fitting into any of the categories described above, definitely has his own way of standing out. . .
* Thefour Safety Patrol on ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}''. The protagonist is a black guy partnered with a white girl, the forensics expert comes from a Japanese family, DaChief is Mexican-American, the main MauveShirt is Italian-American, and the photographer is a loony white guy who does the comic relief, if "CloudCuckoolander" can be considered a token role. A similar effect was shown in "A Cold Day At X", with the team of villains featuring a girl in a wheelchair and a very well-spoken, extremely English black guy.

** Mindy Melendez (Latina; her exact nationality is never stated on the show, but she is most likely Mexican-American as the show's official social media pages often use Mindy to promote Cinco de Mayo)
** Mitchell Peterson (white; judging by his name, he's probably of English, Scottish, and/or Scandinavian descent)
** Lillian (Chinese-American)
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'':
** The main cast. T.J. the chunky, smart-aleck white boy (who's implied to be [[AmbiguouslyJewish Jewish]]), Gretchen the nerdy white girl with glasses, Spinelli the Italian tough girl, Vince the athletic black boy, Mikey the big-bodied, over-dramatic white boy, and Gus the nebbishy white boy with glasses. Actually lampshaded in a Christmas special episode in which the principal tries to put together a culturally diverse Christmas show while complaining about "political correctoids"
** The Ashleys as well. Ashley A. is the stuck-up white leader, Ashley B. is the prissy, sarcastic second-in-command black girl, Ashley Q. is the tough, {{Jerkass}} white girl, and Ashley T. is the quiet Hispanic girl.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheReplacements'', Riley and Todd's circle of friends ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Shelton]]) includes the Japanese Tasumi, the African-American Abby, the Hispanic Jacobo and the Jewish Shelton.
* A villainous example in the ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' episode "The Princess and the Bounty Hunters". A team of bounty hunters includes a white female leader, a Russian, a Southern American, an Aboriginal Australian and two asian-ish cat aliens.
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a diverse cast of heroes: Adora and Perfuma are white lesbians; Bow and Netossa are Black (the former AmbiguouslyBi, the latter a lesbian); Glimmer, Frosta, and Sea Hawk are East-Asian (the former and latter being AmbiguouslyBi); Mermista is South-Asian; Entrapta is autistic, bisexual, and AmbiguouslyBrown; and Swift Wind is a talking horse. This even carries over to the villains's side: Hordak is [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport disabled]] and speaks with a British accent; Catra is a Hispanic lesbian; Scorpia is a white lesbian; Kyle is a white guy; Lonnie is a Black woman; Rogelio is a mute reptile man; and Double Trouble is a nonbinary shapeshifter.
* The main kids in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', believe it or not. They include Kyle, who's Jewish, Cartman, who's obese, and Kenny, who's poor. Their extended circle of friends has a gay couple (Tweek and Craig), the only child of rich black parents (Tolkien), and disabled children with different conditions (Jimmy and Timmy). Despite poking fun at them ''mercilessly'', the series has been praised by equal rights groups for treating them all as equals.
* When it came time to expand the {{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}} from the original Batman-Superman-Wonder Woman-Aquaman cadre to the 11-member Justice League (for ''Challenge of the Super Friends''), they added a token black (Black Vulcan), a token native American (Apache Chief), and a token Asian (Samurai). The following season added a token Hispanic (El Dorado).
* ''WesternAnimation/SkyDancers''. The original VHS opening also has suspiciously ethnic-sounding [[LeitMotif leit motifs]].
* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' episode "Mojo Jonesin'", where a diverse group of kids get [[SuperSerum Chemical X]] powers as part of Mojo Jojo's BatmanGambit. One of them is even in a wheelchair... and despite Chemical X allowing him to fly, he flies ''still holding on to the chair''.[[note]]The Chemical X eventually wore off, so it turns out this was a good thing, but while Mojo knew this was going to happen, the kid didn't.[[/note]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' it's oddly the jerky popular kids who fill this trope: [[JerkJock Dash]] (white guy), [[AlphaBitch Paulina]] (Hispanic girl), [[TokenGoodTeammate Kwan]] (Asian guy), [[WellIntentionedExtremist Valerie]] (black girl) and sometimes [[SixthRanger Star]] (white girl). They're like [[EqualOpportunityEvil Equal Opportunity]] {{Jerk Ass}}es. (Valerie is eventually exiled from the group when she becomes a FallenPrincess, though, and becomes [[AntiHero kind of]] nicer.)
* The Safety Patrol on ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}''. The protagonist is a black guy partnered with a white girl, the forensics expert comes from a Japanese family, DaChief is Mexican-American, the main MauveShirt is Italian-American, and the photographer is a loony white guy who does the comic relief, if "CloudCuckoolander" can be considered a token role. A similar effect was shown in "A Cold Day At X", with the team of villains featuring a girl in a wheelchair and a very well-spoken, extremely English black guy.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** The protagonists are the fantasy equivalent of this, consisting of two members of each race -- unicorn, pegasus and earth pony. (Until [[spoiler:Twilight became an alicorn]], that is.) They also provide a wide range of personality types -- notably, three are gradually revealed to be in line with the stereotypes of their races (Applejack the country bumpkin farmer, Rarity the haughty artisan, Rainbow Dash the hotheaded jock) while the others are wildcards (Pinkie Pie the happy-go-lucky party planner, Twilight Sparkle the bookworm and HumbleHero, and Fluttershy the bashful animal lover). The beta protagonists (the Cutie Mark Crusaders) similarly have one of each. (Babs Seed, the fourth crusader, breaks the configuration somewhat, but is a minor recurring character and is trying to start her own team.)
** In "School Daze", a band of six students at Twilight Sparkle's Friendship School, all different species, become fast friends. There's Sandbar (an earth pony), Ocellus (a changeling), Gallus (a griffon), Yona (a yak), Silverstream (a hippogriff), and Smolder (a dragon).
* The Burners in ''WesternAnimation/{{Motorcity}}'' consist of Mike Chilton (mixed race), Dutch (black), Texas (Filipino) and Chuck and Julie (white, but Julie is also the only girl). You also have (at times) a [[CuteMachines robot]] and a [[CoolOldGuy man old enough to be their grandfather]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has a fantastic variation with the Planet Express crew. Fry, Leela, and Farnsworth are white Americans (with Leela also being a [[{{cyclops}} one-eyed]] {{mutant|s}}); Bender is a robot who was built in Mexico; Hermes is a black Jamaican; Amy is ethnically Chinese, but was born and raised on Mars; [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Zoidberg]] is a member of an [[FishPeople aquatic alien race]] with a [[SpaceJews quasi-Jewish culture]].
* The main kids in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'', believe it or not. They include Kyle, who's Jewish, Cartman, who's obese, and Kenny, who's poor. Their extended circle of friends has a gay couple (Tweek and Craig), the only child of rich black parents (Tolkien), and disabled children with different conditions (Jimmy and Timmy). Despite poking fun at them ''mercilessly'', the series has been praised by equal rights groups for treating them all as equals.
* ''Toys/PollyPocket'': The main group is made of white (British-American) Polly Pocket, Shani Mayne/Smith (black), and Lila Draper (Scottish-American). Formerly there was Lea Torney (Irish-American), Ana Leeth (American), Crissy Maxwell (white American, then Latina, then Asian) and Kerstie Perx (American).
* In the same vein as ''South Park'', ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has a surprisingly diverse core cast. The part where this trope truly comes into play, though, is with Peter Griffin and his regular drinking buddies: Peter is the white male leader as well as the "big guy". Cleveland is the token black character, Joe is the disabled one in a wheelchair. And then there's Quagmire, who, while not fitting into any of the categories described above, definitely has his own way of standing out. . .
* ''WesternAnimation/TenkoAndTheGuardiansOfTheMagic'': The Guardians are a racially diverse bunch. Tenko is Japanese, Bolt is white, Hawk is Native American and Steel is African-American. [[spoiler:They are later joined by Ali who is white.]]

It becomes glaringly obvious in the holiday episode though that their backgrounds are very different. Italian-American Tino celebrates Winter Solstice, Lor celebrates Christmas, the African-American Carter celebrates Kwanzaa, and Tish who has Eastern-European parents celebrates Hannukah.
* Though not as pronounced as many other examples, the cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' count even if you ignore the fact that they aren't human. Francine is Jewish, The Brain is black, Muffy is the "rich kid", and they later introduced Carl, who's on the autism spectrum, as the disabled character.
* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' has Asian (Japanese) Shiro, HalfHumanHybrid (with an ambiguous ethnicity) Keith, Latino (Cuban) Lance, biracial (Samoan/African American) Hunk, Caucasian (Italian) Pidge, and AmbiguouslyBrown {{Space El|ves}}f {{Human Alien|s}} Allura.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' gives us (based on the voice actors--the characters themselves are animals) Austin (white male), Tasha (white female), Tyrone (black male), Uniqua (black female), and Pablo (Hispanic male). An unusual example, as Uniqua is the only one to appear in every single episode and Austin is absent from more episodes than anyone else. However, it's worth mentioning that the show was created by a black woman.
* The eponymous Planeteers in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''. Kwame (African; specifically, Nigerian), Wheeler (white American), Linka (Russian), Gi (Asian; specifically, Korean), and Ma-Ti (South American Indian).
* On ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary'', show's main human characters are Lucita Sky (who's Latina), AJ Gadgets (who's black and autistic), Sarah Snap (Asian American), Benny Bubbles (Caucasian), and their teacher Mr. Sparks (also Latino).
* The main group of ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'' gives us Sarah (blonde), Molly (African American), Alma (Hispanic), Bailey (brunette), Zoey (redhead), Chloe (Irish American) and Will (also blonde). They are soon joined by Nani (Native American).
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet is a human-like alien (so he isn't actually white), who appears male but is actually sexless. The other kids featured in the show are:

** Mitchell Peterson (white; judging by his name, he's probably of English, Scottish, and/or Scandinavian descent)
** Lillian (Chinese-American)
* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' gives us Molly (Gwich'in/Koyukon/Dena'ina Athabascan), Tooey (Yup'ik, Koyukon, and Japanese), Trini (African-American), Oscar (Alaska Native of an unknown tribe), Vera (Filipino-Athabascan), and Jake (token white).
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a diverse cast of heroes: Adora and Perfuma are white lesbians; Bow and Netossa are Black (the former AmbiguouslyBi, the latter a lesbian); Glimmer, Frosta, and Sea Hawk are East-Asian (the former and latter being AmbiguouslyBi); Mermista is South-Asian; Entrapta is autistic, bisexual, and AmbiguouslyBrown; and Swift Wind is a talking horse. This even carries over to the villains's side: Hordak is [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport disabled]] and speaks with a British accent; Catra is a Hispanic lesbian; Scorpia is a white lesbian; Kyle is a white guy; Lonnie is a Black woman; Rogelio is a mute reptile man; and Double Trouble is a nonbinary shapeshifter.
* "The J-Team" in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. The team includes [[TheHero Jackie]] and [[TagalongKid Jade]] (Chinese-American), [[TheBigGuy Tohru]] (Japanese), [[MaskedLuchador El Toro Fuerte]] and [[KidSidekick Paco]] (Mexican), and [[ClassyCatBurglar Viper]] (Jewish, and implied to be Israeli). Notably, the only white character who's even ''affiliated'' with the team is [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Captain Black]], who just serves as their MissionControl.
* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' has the main protagonists in different seasons. Book 1 has Tulip (white), book 2 has Mirror Tulip (chromium) and Jesse (Native American), book 3 has Grace (black), and book 4 has Ryan and Min-Gi (East Asian).
* One more example of a fantasy token band; ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}'', but especially ''WesternAnimation/Thundercats2011''. The members belong to clans based on real life cat species, though Panthro is the only one whom most obviously looks and sounds [[TokenBlack black]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders'' averts the racial variant as the main characters are three white children and a black boy. It becomes glaringly obvious in the holiday episode though that their backgrounds are very different. Italian-American Tino celebrates Winter Solstice, Lor celebrates Christmas, the African-American Carter celebrates Kwanzaa, and Tish who has Eastern-European parents celebrates Hannukah.
* Though not as pronounced as many other examples, the cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' count even if you ignore the fact that they aren't human. Francine is Jewish, The Brain is black, Muffy is the "rich kid", and they later introduced Carl, who's on the autism spectrum, as the disabled character.
* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' has Asian (Japanese) Shiro, HalfHumanHybrid (with an ambiguous ethnicity) Keith, Latino (Cuban) Lance, biracial (Samoan/African American) Hunk, Caucasian (Italian) Pidge, and AmbiguouslyBrown {{Space El|ves}}f {{Human Alien|s}} Allura.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans'' gives us (based on the voice actors--the characters themselves are animals) Austin (white male), Tasha (white female), Tyrone (black male), Uniqua (black female), and Pablo (Hispanic male). An unusual example, as Uniqua is the only one to appear in every single episode and Austin is absent from more episodes than anyone else. However, it's worth mentioning that the show was created by a black woman.
* The eponymous Planeteers in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers''. Kwame (African; specifically, Nigerian), Wheeler (white American), Linka (Russian), Gi (Asian; specifically, Korean), and Ma-Ti (South American Indian).
* On ''WesternAnimation/HeroElementary'', show's main human characters are Lucita Sky (who's Latina), AJ Gadgets (who's black and autistic), Sarah Snap (Asian American), Benny Bubbles (Caucasian), and their teacher Mr. Sparks (also Latino).
* The main group of ''WesternAnimation/{{Horseland}}'' gives us Sarah (blonde), Molly (African American), Alma (Hispanic), Bailey (brunette), Zoey (redhead), Chloe (Irish American) and Will (also blonde). They are soon joined by Nani (Native American).
* ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'': Jet is a human-like alien (so he isn't actually white), who appears male but is actually sexless. The other kids featured in the show are:
** Sydney Skelley (African-American)
** Sean Rafferty (implied to be Irish-American)
** Mindy Melendez (Latina; her exact nationality is never stated on the show, but she is most likely Mexican-American as the show's official social media pages often use Mindy to promote Cinco de Mayo)
** Mitchell Peterson (white; judging by his name, he's probably of English, Scottish, and/or Scandinavian descent)
** Lillian (Chinese-American)
* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' gives us Molly (Gwich'in/Koyukon/Dena'ina Athabascan), Tooey (Yup'ik, Koyukon, and Japanese), Trini (African-American), Oscar (Alaska Native of an unknown tribe), Vera (Filipino-Athabascan), and Jake (token white).
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a diverse cast of heroes: Adora and Perfuma are white lesbians; Bow and Netossa are Black (the former AmbiguouslyBi, the latter a lesbian); Glimmer, Frosta, and Sea Hawk are East-Asian (the former and latter being AmbiguouslyBi); Mermista is South-Asian; Entrapta is autistic, bisexual, and AmbiguouslyBrown; and Swift Wind is a talking horse. This even carries over to the villains's side: Hordak is [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport disabled]] and speaks with a British accent; Catra is a Hispanic lesbian; Scorpia is a white lesbian; Kyle is a white guy; Lonnie is a Black woman; Rogelio is a mute reptile man; and Double Trouble is a nonbinary shapeshifter.
* "The J-Team" in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures''. The team includes [[TheHero Jackie]] and [[TagalongKid Jade]] (Chinese-American), [[TheBigGuy Tohru]] (Japanese), [[MaskedLuchador El Toro Fuerte]] and [[KidSidekick Paco]] (Mexican), and [[ClassyCatBurglar Viper]] (Jewish, and implied to be Israeli). Notably, the only white character who's even ''affiliated'' with the team is [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Captain Black]], who just serves as their MissionControl.
* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' has the main protagonists in different seasons. Book 1 has Tulip (white), book 2 has Mirror Tulip (chromium) and Jesse (Native American), book 3 has Grace (black), and book 4 has Ryan and Min-Gi (East Asian).

* Disney also likes doing this with [[AllDogsArePurebred groups of dogs]]: The dogs at the pound in ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' were all recognizable breeds except one (a chihuahua, a borzoi, a bulldog, a dachshund, and a pekingese), and half of them were given accents fitting their national origins. Similarly, Fagin's gang in ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' comprised a Jack Russell terrier, an English bulldog, a chihuahua, a Great Dane, and a saluki; the chihuahua was once again given a Mexican name and accent, and the bulldog was portrayed as a classy Brit. The Junkyard Dogs in ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure'' are a downplayed case in that none of them have accents matching their breed and most are breeds that are ambiguous or uncommon or both, but there's still a sheepdog, a Boston terrier, and an Afghan hound; Buster himself is somewhere on the Doberman-Rottweiler spectrum and Angel is apparently part pomeranian.

In one episode, a music company decided to sign cast member Lenni, and the record executive actually said out loud that her multiethnic friends would be demographically perfect for the music video.

** ''The All-New, All-Different X-Men''. The wheelchair-bound mentor ([[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Professor X]], representing the handicapped) and Caucasian male team leader ([[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]] from the original team, which was all-white and all American) were joined by an African woman ([[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]]), an Asian (Sunfire), an Apache (Thunderbird), a German ([[Characters/MarvelComicsNightcrawler Nightcrawler]]), an Irishman (Banshee), a Russian (Colossus), and a Canadian (Characters/{{Wolverine|JamesLoganHowlett}}). The in-universe reason the "All New All Different" X-Men were so diverse was that, back then, mutants were assumed to be danged ''rare'', and Professor X had to gather together those few he could find on short notice from all around the world. Of course, as more and more mutants kept getting introduced in subsequent years, mutant rarity became a forgotten concept, until a bit of ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'' [[StatusQuoIsGod forcibly restored it]] decades later.

* ComicBook/AvengersAcademy was arguably an example, as Reptil (the leader of the group) was Latino, Mettle was Polynesian, Hazmat was Asian-American, Finesse and Veil were women, and the only Caucasian man on the team, Striker, was a gay teenager [[spoiler:from a working-class background and a survivor of sexual abuse]]. The West Coast revamp of the title introduced Characters/{{White Tiger|MarvelComics}} (Puerto Rican), Power Man ([[TwoferTokenMinority Black Dominican]]), Spider-Girl (Latina), Wiz Kid (Asian American), Rocket Racer (African American) and Hollow/Penance (originally Yugoslavian, retconned into being a black Algerian, current ethnicity unknown) into the Academy. It also added Julie Power (bisexual), and [[Characters/X23LauraKinney X-23]] to the cast.

Misuse; the three Barbie films that were listed mention only one token minority in the cast which is the exact opposite of the trope.
