History TimeTravel / WesternAnimation

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' parodied this in ''Escape to the House of Mummies, Part 2'' (there was no part 1), where the situation became increasingly ridiculous as they traveled around time, leading to Caligula, UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud, Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, and two Brocks launching an assault.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' had quite a few time travel stories, including one entire season that involved parallel universes and a stable but horrifying time loop that would result in a civil war between the world's governments and the world's superheroes. [[spoiler: But it was all a KansasCityShuffle by Brainiac-infected ComicBook/LexLuthor; the time travel stuff wasn't real, just a red herring.]]

* The ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' episode Bloodlines is all about Bart Allen a.k.a. Impulse trying to prevent a BadFuture and the after effects are really confusing. In the future everything has become destroyed and covered in ash with only Impulse and the villian of the episode in sight. When Impulse changes the future the only thing that changes is that the villain was no longer a major threat in the past and doesn't have scars, but somehow despite changing that little the villian can still remember the old timeline.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' has Professor Paradox, who travels through space and time, there are also time travel arcs, starting with ben 10000 in the original series.

* The entire final season of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' was about time travel, coupled with FailureIsTheOnlyOption as the Smurfs end up in one time period (and/or geographical location) after another.

* Mr. Peabody and Sherman (who first appeared on the ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' segment ''Peabody's Improbable History'', then got [[WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman their own movie]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheNewMrPeabodyAndShermanShow series]] decades later) use The WABAC Machine to assist historical figures.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' calls attention to the many types of time travel in an episode when future people emigrate to the present. The news anchor announces that "apparently this is using 'Terminator' rules".
* In ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' the characters have to constantly go back in time in order to stop goofups in the timeline (because time is like a rope and as it grows it becomes frayed). HilarityEnsues when they encounter historical figures doing crazy things, such as Eli Whitney creating flesh-eating robots instead of the cotton gin, Ludwig von Beethoven becoming a wrestler instead of a composer, or UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush thinking that the answer to all of the country's problems is a giant ball of twine.

* Similarly, the twin anime series ''Anime/{{Superbook}}'' and ''Anime/TheFlyingHouse'' are built around regular time travel into stories from Literature/TheBible.

* ''WesternAnimation/QuasiAtTheQuackadero'' is set at an amusement park where time travel is exploited.
* Mr. Peabody and Sherman (who first appeared on the ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'' segment ''Peabody's Improbable History'', then got [[WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman their own movie]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheNewMrPeabodyAndShermanShow series]] decades later) use The WABAC Machine to assist historical figures.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Speed Demon" has the girls racing for home so fast they go fifty years into the future and see that the world has been subjugated by their arch-foe Him because they weren't around to stop him as they went through time.

* In "A Sitch in Time", a three part episode of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', all three of the above plots are used. In the end, it turns out that time travel had been responsible for even the initial complication that got the plot rolling (Kim's sidekick moving to Norway) but all was undone by the end.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''
** In one episode the crew of the Planet Express Ship gets sent back in time to 1947 Earth, and becomes the crashed alien spacecraft at Roswell, New Mexico. Fry does "the nasty in the pasty" and becomes his own grandfather, and Bender's head ends up buried in the desert for 1053 years, in a parody of the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Time's Arrow". ("What was it like being stuck in that hole for a thousand years?" "I was enjoying it - until you guys showed up!")
** In a recent episode "The Late Philip J. Fry.", this was taken to the extreme where [[spoiler:Fry, Bender, and the Professor get into a time machine that only goes forward in time, causing them to keep going ahead in time looking for one that goes back, until eventually due to accidents and jerkassness, they went so far ahead in time they go through to the end of the universe, then another universe that's just the same is made in its place, then when they get to their time, an accident forced them to do the same a second time, where they came in about 10 feet over themselves before they went forward in time, they obviously dropped down and killed them, and took their place in that similar universe.]]
* The main cast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' own a time machine, and they occasionally use it for various purposes.

* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' had three time travel stories.
** "[[{{Pun}} Paraducks]]": Darkwing goes to the past, tries to avoid TemporalParadox when GenreSavvy daughter Gosalyn keeps reminding him of it. Turns out instead he broke a StableTimeLoop. Oops.
** "Time and Punishment": Gosalyn ends up GoneToTheFuture, which turns into a hellhole as Darkwing goes KnightTemplar. Oops.
** "Quack of Ages": straight-up ResetButton-type adventure.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' had a magic item called The Phoenix Gate that could be used for time travel. Trouble was, it couldn't be used to change the past. Fate would simply conspire against anyone who tried to.
** Of course our magnificent bastard villain, is still badass enough to still make his fortune using it.
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' had quite a few time travel stories, including one entire season that involved parallel universes and a stable but horrifying time loop that would result in a civil war between the world's governments and the world's superheroes. [[spoiler: But it was all a KansasCityShuffle by Brainiac-infected ComicBook/LexLuthor; the time travel stuff wasn't real, just a red herring.]]
* Done a few times in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''. Special mention goes to two particular episodes.
** In "Melty", Lilo makes a fool of herself in front of her love interest, Keoni, and uses Jumba's time machine to go back to the past and change it. However, a side effect of the machine is that something (in a classic Ray Bradbury Butterfly effect) changes in each time line (which usually goes horribly bad). In the end, Lilo learnes a valuable FantasticAesop of literally not dwelling into the past.
** In "Skip", Lilo and Stitch capture an experiment that is able to travel ten years into the future. In the first ten year travel, a seventeen-year-old Lilo finds out that she has missed out on seven years of her life. When she goes another ten years in the future, everyting is hell. The villain Hamsterviel has taken over the island and the planet, captured all the experiments, and has become king of the galactic federation. Lilo decides that she can't force herself to grow up too early and conventiantly sets the reset button on the experiment to go back to the present time.
* ''WesternAnimation/ArgaiTheProphecy'' plays with this quite a bit, even with an original twist on it: [[spoiler:When a character is killed in a time not its own, he or she doesn't die, he just returns to his original time. It's the reason the heroes must defeat Queen Dark in 2075, and for Queen Dark to kill Argai in 1250.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' had an [[ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum intellegent Beezy]] make a CoolChair time machine, which he then used mainly to rub his intellegence in Heloise's face.
* For a series that is so focused on the dangers of advanced technology, ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' notably only had ''one'' time travel episode, "The Edge of Yesterday," near the end of its run.

* The later half of ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSpeedRacer'' features a story arc about mutants from the year 2078 traveling back in time to the present day.
* The entire final season of ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' was about time travel, coupled with FailureIsTheOnlyOption as the Smurfs end up in one time period (and/or geographical location) after another.

* Chronozoid, a villain in ''WesternAnimation/SkysurferStrikeForce'', has powers to travel back and forward in time.
* ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' and Penfold find a grandfather clock that takes them through time in "The Hickory Dickory Dock Dilemma" (returning in "The Clock Strikes Back"). Has a nod to ''Series/DoctorWho''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wunschpunsch}}'': Bubonic and Tyrannia once went back in time to prevent their supervisor's parents from meeting each other so he won't exist. [[GetBackToTheFuture Not wanting to get stuck in the past]], their pets made Maggot's parents meet since they learned it was the CurseEscapeClause that could break the time travel spell.
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' has Professor Paradox, who travels through space and time, there are also time travel arcs, starting with ben 10000 in the original series.
* ''WesternAnimation/DallasAndRobo'' has Robo accidentally discovering the carrot cake recipe from ''[[TheJoyOfX The Joy of Cooking]]'' in binary are instructions for time travel.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' uses this trope frequently. Timmy gets a Time Scooter in season one that has gotten quite a few uses. Each time things end up going wrong, making you wonder why it isn't against Da Rules.

* ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' involves time travel in almost every episode, as its name implies.
* ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons''.
