!!''Yvon of the Yukon'' contains the following tropes:

17th-century France: rugged explorer Yvon Ducharme embarks on a voyage to conquer North America on behalf of King Louis XIV. Unfortunately, Yvon's poor navigation skills sends him far off his intended course, into the frigid waters off Canada's northern coast, and he is knocked overboard when his boat rams into an iceberg. [[HumanPopsicle Yvon is cryogenically frozen in a block of ice for 300 years]], until his body is [[UrineTrouble 'revived']] by a sled dog owned by Inuk teenager Tommy Tukyuk. He settles in the town of Upyermukluk, Yukon ("the hottest cold town in the Arctic, midway between Shivermetimbers and Frostbottom Falls") and attempts to adjust to life in the Yukon alongside his colourful new neighbours.

A [[UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} Canadian]] animated series created by voice actors Creator/IanJamesCorlett and Terry Klassen and animation studios Studio B Productions and Creator/DongWooAnimation. Airing between 1999 and 2005, the series focuses upon the misadventures of a hapless, smelly French explorer with a creepy devotion towards King Louis who spent some three hundred years [[HumanPopsicle frozen in a block of ice]] in far north Canada. Since getting accidentally de-frosted in the modern day, he now tries to conquer the Yukon town of Upper Mukluk in the name of "King Louie". The show ran for three seasons, won several awards, and can perhaps serve as an example of quintessentially Canadian animated programming.
