So Bad Its Good / Western Animation

"They stylized down the characters, which is ok—I actually used to watch the cartoons to figure out what not to do—how not to time, how not to handle the different levels of cels, don't cut that corner because it's gonna be too obvious, 'cause the corners they cut were unbelievable."

— Animator Frank Gladstone on the 1960's made-for-TV Al Brodax Popeye cartoons

Even Western Animation isn't without its hilarious bummers.

---

• A Kitten Named Bow, which was very obviously dubbed for English-speaking audiences due to completely non-existent lip sync. Characters tend to point out the obvious, especially in the first cartoon; they go out of their way to explain what is happening on-screen, even when they're not supposed to speak. The dialogue only consists of slow line delivery and "Bow wow!" But the horrible dubbing somehow makes it entertaining, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
• The Batman Beyond episode "Out of the Past" is arguably one of the darkest and most depressing in the series... but it starts out with one of the most ridiculously-goofy examples of Stylistic Suck in a cartoon. Complete with a lampshade from Bruce.
  Bruce: You hate me, don't you?
• The Beatles. There's a lot of Off-Model, especially with John Lennon. Ringo's the incompetent, bumbling Butt-Monkey, and John sounds American. None of the voice actors are played by actual Beatles, no matter what the credits may tell you. The cartoon feels wrong, and that is why it rules.
  • It's also the reason the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein ordered the cartoons never be shown in England, even though Apple—the group's corporate entity—now owns them.
  • In fact, George Harrison used the phrase "so bad it's good" almost verbatim when discussing the show in an interview.
    Harrison: I always kind of liked them. They were so bad or silly they were good, if you know what I mean. And I think the passage of time might make them more fun now.
• Beverly Hills Teens: It's the embodiment of every cheesy thing about the 80's, has no idea of what target audience it wants to appeal to, every episode is packed with clichés, and most characters tend to be one-dimensional (but kind of likable). Still it manages to somehow be very charming, and is quite funny when watched with the right mindset.
• Bratz. The CGI animation was clearly made on a shoestring budget that has not aged well. Yet it features a lot of bizarre plots and scenes that has to be seen to be believed, especially when watching them out of context. Also helping is Burdine and the Tweevils with their over the top antics that practically steal the show.
• Captain Planet and the Planeteers. A show about the spirit of the earth who gives five teenagers mystical rings that gives (four of) them badass Elemental Powers (and the fifth one gets something else) should make for some quality entertainment, but instead we get excessively Anvilicious aesops about environmentalism and Narm-filled Author Filibusters delivered by characters every single episode. We also get idiotic villains who pollute the earth just for the sake of polluting it half the time and when the heroes combine their rings' power, we get a green-mullet-headed, blue-skinned superhero who spouts terrible puns every other second. A deep, rich source of Narm. But this ludicrous premise and execution has made it the reason to watch and has created many forum-based memes. The show’s Very Special Episodes in particular have garnered even more infamy; in jarring contrast to the show’s typically lighthearted tone and lack of fatal violence, they’ve hamfistedly covered everything from gang violence and drug addiction to real world genocide and ethnic cleansing to even HIV/AIDS!
  "AIDS is the best thing to come along since the black plague!"
  "NO WAY! AIDS stinks!"
  • Linka. If she's not your type, you can always laugh at the combination of tsundere and Strawman Political.
  • The fact that Ma-Ti actually has the best superpower of the five but still manages to be the most useless is simultaneously frustrating and hilarious.
  • And there's a part where Adolf Hitler manages to weaken Captain Planet by staring at him because his hatred acts as a form of pollution, which Captain Planet is weak to.
  • The original Expository Theme Tune was once among the few genuinely good parts of the show. The credits theme starts to veer into so-bad-it's-good-ness by being cheesy but catchy, and even the opening title sequence did a pretty good job of establishing the series in a tasteful, even somewhat dignified manner. But then, Season 6 changed the intro to this. It consists of scary green goblin lips atonally "singing" a bizarre rap song which calls Captain Planet a "Mega Mac Daddy of Ecology" backed up with comedy wah-wah saxophones, one-key-at-a-time piano playing and what sounds like a morse code machine. It's ironic that this gloriously terrible intro was introduced late in the series when the show's animation improved. It probably helps that the "rapper" (and we're using that term very loosely) in question is Fred Schneider,^note Technically, the rhythmatic speaking Fred Schneider is known for is actually known as Sprechgesang, and it should not be confused with rapping, which was somewhat influenced by it. The is probably why the "Eco-Rap" intro for Captain Planet is notorious. whose band could be quite cheesy on their own.
• The two animated Chick Tracts adaptations by 3D animation outfit Littleshots: the Chick Brand™ Easy Evangelism and dubious Biblical accuracy of "The Sissy" and the Shaggy Dog-shooting "Tiny Shoes". The combination of already SBIG nature of the source material, CGI that makes Boys of Valor look like Big Hero 6 and zero-budget sound and voice acting form a hypnotically bad whole. Both are available in their entirety on YouTube, in addition to reviews by The Bible Reloaded (available here and here).
• Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. Hilarious, at least the opening. But it has So Bad It's Good Moments with the zany fight scenes, horrible acting, and Super Ninja's effeminate voice. Here are some of the "best" moments.
• Dennis the Menace has an in-universe example. In "The Price of Stardom", Dennis becomes the prop man for a Heidi-esque play starring Margaret and Mr. Wilson. During the performance, Dennis turns on a giant fan, has Mr. Wilson dress in a swimsuit for a costume change, drops a bag of fake snow on Margaret and opens a trap door that Mr. Wilson happens to be standing on at the time. The audience laughs throughout the entire performance and cheers when the play ends.
• The Dexter's Laboratory episode Dexter And Computress Get Mandark! is an intentional example. The episode's script was submitted by a six year old. And the animation for the episode was purposely made to be Stylistic Suck to match it.
• Dinofroz is blatantly trying to follow trends certain other shows like Ben 10 and especially Digimon Frontier did, there are clichés all around, the voice acting for the dubbing is hilarious, the show is clearly Merchandise-Driven, and animation sequences and shots are often reused. And yet, one can only admire the creators for fully committing to the show's absurd premise. On top of that, nothing about the show is outright offensive, some of the subplots actually work when executed properly, and the voice actors sound like they're having a ball. Also, dinosaurs. And dragons.
• If the horribly low-budget CGI and jarring character design of Dorbees: Making Decisions doesn't completely freak you out, the surreal nature of the film can pass for this. Of particular note is the completely nonsensical "Mr. Poe and Yogul" segment and "I Wanna Be Grown Up," a passable song that tries to use these awful visuals for meta humor and suddenly features a chorus of singing flowers near the end. It definitely helps that the people involved are actually fairly good singers from an actual choir/band, that simply have no idea what the hell they're doing when it comes to everything else.
• "The Menace of Magneto", an episode of The Fantastic Four (1978), is an absurd masterpiece that culminates in Magneto, archenemy of the X-Men, believing he's lost his magnetic powers and surrendering to the police when he finds himself unable to affect Mr. Fantastic's gun. Mr. Fantastic then tells Magneto that the gun was made of wood, not metal, and he did not lose his powers. Magneto responds by letting himself be captured. Priceless.
• The Felix the Cat TV cartoons made by Joe Oriolo from the late 50's/early 60's. They had around 6,000$ per episode, had to crank out three new episodes per week and had mere hours to write the stories, and it shows. Between the ultra low budget and extremely rushed animation, very slow and stilted voice acting and cheesy as Limburger writing that frequently relies on contrived stupidity to get things going, and stories that range from asinine to downright bizarre, this incarnation of Felix the Cat is mainly liked by fans for either nostalgic value or for a cheap laugh.
• The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang, with its ridiculous concept (three characters from the sitcom Happy Days travel in time with an anthropomorphic dog and a magical girl from the future in order to return to The '50s), the show's tendency to treat Fonzie as a god, it hitting every cliche in The Dark Age of Animation era Hanna-Barbera's book, and the animation being so limited that the characters are smiling when enemies attempt to kill them, makes it an entertaining show for all the wrong reasons.
  • Although contrary to popular belief, the series did not come about because Hanna-Barbera couldn't get the rights to Doctor Who. Their similarities are accidental.
• The Fruitties. The show's premise was that a bunch of sentient fruits and veggies had to move from their old volcano home after it shows signs of erupting... and that specific plot only lasts for the first two episodes to give way to the main characters having various adventures. It had very Limited Animation and recycled its own footage in spades. Episode plots consisted of cliches galore. And yet, it can be hard not to laugh at it sometimes. It helps that the company that made it is infamous for most of their cartoons being of low quality.
• G.I. Joe Extreme. Between the laughable live-action sequences, the hammy acting, and the pitiful animation, it has something for everyone to laugh at.
• Once you strip away the Nostalgia Goggles, ''He-Man':'s appeal boils down to this. All the Accidental Innuendo and Ho Yay certainly help.
• Jibber Jabber. The characters crawled out from the deepest pit in the Uncanny Valley. The whole series is ridiculously cheesy, and that's what makes it so hilarious.
• Kung Fu Dino Posse: A Cliché Storm of a Teenage Mutant Samurai Wombats cartoon with one-note dinosaurs for characters...yet it's so enjoyable in how it embraces the clichés of shows with similar formulas.
• The 1966 The Marvel Super Heroes cartoon has Limited Animation in the extreme, with them essentially being existing comics artwork with lip-flaps and blinking most of the time. Many sequences have no animation whatsoever, with long shots consisting of pans and zooms over still images, and the fight scenes are downright comical, consisting of characters moving for only a few seconds at a time over stock cartoon sound effects. The voice acting, the only major gain it has over simply reading the comics, is incredibly hammy, and the main cast shares voices a lot; pretty much all the female characters are voiced by the same woman. But there's an odd earnestness to the whole affair, with it carrying a lot of the energy of early Lee/Kirby Marvel Comics, that keeps it watchable. And then there's the theme songs, which are... a treat.
• The Mel-O-Toons shorts from the early 1960s are yet another unholy union of low budget animation and voiceover. Like the Paul Bunyan and David and Goliath shorts. The former has all kinds of amazing things about Paul Bunyan that they didn't teach in grade school, while the latter has Goliath's booming voice, menacing battle stance, and grisly death.
• The entire premise of Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series. The series was about a group of hockey-playing, crime-fighting anthropomorphic alien ducks from a hockey-obsessed planet called "Puckworld" in another dimension. Despite the utterly ridiculous set-up, though, the series is surprisingly much, much better than it sounds. Unfortunately, no one seemed willing to give it much of a chance, and it was cancelled after only one season.
• The Mighty Hercules has voice acting to make Resident Evil proud, a shoestring budget, and some serious Ho Yay make this one so unforgettably bad that just about anyone will enjoy it and end up peeing themselves in laughter. Here's one episode as an example.
• Mission Hill has an In-Universe example in the episode "Plan 9 From Mission Hill". It turns out Wally made a Sci-Fi movie years ago that starred Gus, was full of plot holes, lousy special effects, and had a hat for a flying saucer. He has made every effort to make sure it is never seen by anyone until an old revival theater gets a hold of it and the movie gains legions of followers for how entertaining it is.
• There is a Mr. T. animated series. It features the T-man delivering live-action segments at the beginning and end. It's spectacularly Anvilicious... and the opening credits feature T. spinning a crocodile over his head. Consult The Agony Booth for more information.
• Molly of Denali: In-Universe, Mr. Rowley considers the Mighty McMann comics "dopey," but he enjoys it, and especially likes the artwork.
• The Monster High movies are full of this trope. The plots are silly, the characters are vague, the humor is incredibly cheesy, they're full of anvilicious "accepting others" aesops...but they're just so goofy and fun it's nearly impossible to hate them.
• Mutilator: Hero of the Wasteland is an early 90s animation project in two parts. It is horrible in every way imaginable: the art looks like something out of Liquid Television that didn't age well with perspective and anatomical issues up the hole, the sound is poorly mixed (with voices barely audible), and the plot is even worse: a man with a mechanical arm kills things in the wasteland. Yet somehow, the combination of these poor elements is nothing short of hilarious today. A cursory look through the YouTube comments reveals a general attitude that this was too good to last.
  • Imagine, if you will, Rob Liefeld's drawing used as a starting point, and then animated by the same people who made the Philips CD-i Zelda games, on a shoestring budget, while everyone involved was high as a kite, and you'll get close to understanding the animation style.
• My Life Me is infamous for its low-quality animation that tries to emulate anime while also cramming every anime and Slice of Life cliché known to man, which led to the show developing an ironic following when the Internet discovered its existence. That, and the character of Mr. Towes, whose gloriously insane antics and voice acting (courtesy of Terrence Scammell) have made him incredibly popular with the show's viewers.
• NFL RushZone: Guardians of the Core reaches The Room (2003) levels of cheesiness. The animation sucks, the characters are either dull, or blatant stereotypes, and the plot is a muddled mess. But, it's so awful it becomes very entertaining, and fun to riff on, and the main character, whose name is Ish, looks like Michael Jackson, which is how it gained the nickname "MJ FOOTBALL".
  • The second season kicks this up a notch with the presense of Wild Card.
• Nutri Ventures: The Quest for the Seven Kingdoms is a show that has choppy animation, bad voice acting, clichè writing and a very blatant moral yet strangely enjoyable to watch because of it's flaws.
• Rick Moranis' Gravedale High: A silly 90s cartoon made to cash in on the success of Rick Moranis, starring him as a teacher in a school for horror monsters. The animation is inconsistent, the characters are one-note, and it contains multiple high school clichés yet is still entertaining.
• The 1960's made-for-TV Popeye cartoons, produced by Al Brodax, amounts to almost 230 episodes of animation hastily produced on a shoestring budget, and at a breakneck pace of almost two years, and was farmed out to a variety of studios across the earth—and it shows in every episode. They have abysmal animation, countless animation goofs and suffer from inane story ideas, stilted scripts, humor more stale than sawdust bread, and downright boneheaded filmmaking choices—"Popeye and the Giant" stands out as being one of the worst of them, due to its incomprehensible plot (Bluto makes Wimpy grow giant by sneaking grow pills in his burgers so he can sell him to a circus, that backfires so he teams up with the Sea Hag to...deliver the Giant Wimpy as a doorstop baby to Popeye, who cures him with essence of hamburgers), animation that varies between sloppy to just plain bizarre, bloopers that you don't even need to freeze frame to see (such as a plate of burgers inexplicably being suspended on a flat colored background in the middle of nowhere), and some of the worst editing ever committed to a cartoon (the first minute with Popeye walking and Wimpy saying his trademark line have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the cartoon).
• While Pingu by itself is usually considered good, in South Korea, it was given a dub that features full English voice acting to help Koreans learn the language better. Besides the fact that giving full voices to a dialogueless series like Pingu would be seen as pointless to some, the dub is widely considered awful, with the voice acting and grammar errors making it nothing short of hilarious to a lot of people.
• An in-universe one happens in Rocko's Modern Life in the form of Wacky Delly. Rachel^note At the time, she was still closeted as "Ralph". Bighead has Rocko and his friends produce the pilot episode of the titular Show Within a Show in the hopes that it will be bad enough to get her out of her contract with her animation studio so that she can focus on making an artistic masterpiece. Thanks in part to Heffer and Filburt's creative differences, the final product is a poorly-drawn and poorly-edited mess. Unfortunately for Rachel, her plan backfires, as both the network executives and general public love it. Rachel's attempts to sabotage the show, such as having one episode show a jar of mayonnaise for ten minutes, and another episode consisting of overexposed film footage only make the show even more popular. It only takes one intellectually improved episode of the show to get it hated by the public and cancelled.
• The 1960s Spider-Man cartoon counts. While the show did have many genuine fans, it also has a large So Bad, It's Good fandom. All the camp of the Adam West Batman show (being as it, like the Batman show, crawled out of the goldmine of So Bad It's Good that was the Silver Age) add to that the most unsuitable voice ever for the guy who plays Spider-Man, low budget animation, and stock footage used over and over again, and it's very difficult for most viewers not to laugh at the hideous result.
  • Funnily enough, unlike Spider-Man: The Animated Series, it had a lot less network watch, although there are still invokedUnfortunate Implications, it remains funny, plus it gave us this...
    Spider-Man: This is for the man you killed.
    (He punches Uncle Ben's murderer so hard he breaks through the door)
  • The garish splattering of mismatched hues thrown all over the place (especially the sky) made New York City appear more radioactive than the Fallout universe.
• Superfriends is Super cheesy! It really hasn't aged well! And yet you can't stop watching — especially due to the camp!
• Tiny Toon Adventures had an in-universe example when Buster, Babs and Plucky decided to make a non-comedy film. One of the studio's heads actually mentioned the trope. He didn't like it enough to the point of giving them other serious roles but enough to readmit them in comedy.
• Gene Deitch was quite brilliant in his 1950s stylized modern work; he took the stodgy, flagging Terrytoons in an interesting direction. But when he took on the Tom and Jerry franchise in the early 1960s, it went in a whole weird Eastern European-filtered direction.
• Tony Hawk in Boom Boom Sabotage. The villain is a demented circus ringmaster, and his dragon is a vicious, snarling midget pirate; they have many Ho Yay moments. The heroes consist of five teenage skateboarders and Distressed Dude Tony Hawk. The storyline is utterly disturbed and often takes a backseat to skateboarding sequences, the subtitles often render dialogue as 'unintelligible', and the animation... is satisfactory. Only because of all this is it worth seeing (with the subtitles on for maximum amusement).
• Toxic Crusaders, which ditched the R-rated qualities of The Toxic Avenger and replaced them with hilariously ridiculous dialogue, plots, and animation. Many things made no sense whatsoever: Toxie went to live in the town dump after his mom suggested it, even though she had no problem in later episodes visiting him or boasting that he's her son. He also mentions later that he and his friends need to "pay rent" — to the dump?! All the mutants were called, every single time, "hideously deformed mutants of superhuman size and strength." There were constant ass pulls: when a Mad Scientist creates french fries that turn anyone who eats them into nearsighted, forgetful old people - his own words - it turns out that putting pepper on them turns the mutagen chemicals into bubble gum, which negates the process. There is also a Running Gag in which the Big Bad's main henchperson Psycho will predict, with eerie accuracy, exactly how their plans will be foiled. The Big Bad never listens; once, he tells Psycho to stop spoiling things for him. There's also lampshade-hanging galore.
  Junkyard: Do we have time for a flashback?
  Toxie: Oh sure! It'll probably take Killemoff some time to come up with a new plan to destroy us.
  • After Killemoff loads a giant monster truck on a barge which predictably (Psycho said it would) sinks the whole thing to the bottom of the river:
    Killemoff: I thought this sort of thing only happened in cartoons.
• While some have managed to be Vindicated by History, most animated adaptions of video games, especially the earlier ones, tend to fall under this thanks to, often alongside other factors, being rife with cheesy and campy writing, hammy voice acting and other strange creative decisions.
  • All three of the Super Mario Bros. (DiC) cartoons fall into this, due to being loaded to the bursting point with outrageous animation errors, cringe-worthy writing, and Ham and Cheese acting, which helped turned these series into Fountains of Memes.
    • The ending theme for The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! cartoon. Do the Mario!... the Mario being a dance where, as explained by the man himself, you "swing your arms from side to side", then "take one step, and then again."
      Crow: You mean walking?
      Mike: Let's not jump to conclusions.
  • Captain N: The Game Master. A teenager enters the world of Nintendo games. Every character he meets - Simon Belmont, Mega Man, Pit (named Kid Icarus), is very unlike their in-game counterpart and has a terrible, exaggerated personality. Mega Man is short and green and says "Mega" in almost every sentence. Kid Icarus does the same by ending most of his sentences with the suffix "-icus". Simon Belmont wears goggles and acts like a vain ladies' man. And that's just the characters. The plots aren't particularly good either. Neither is the voice acting, Mega Man has a really gravelly voice, and Princess Lana and Kevin sound bored most of the time.
  • Take one of the most violent and overly innuendo-filled fighting game series of all time, attempt to make it family-friendly, add a bespectacled tween magician for the young ones to associate with (before Harry Potter took off), and you get the American Darkstalkers animated series, one of the best examples of unintentional So Bad It's Good ever. See why here.
    • There's also Lord Raptor rapping.
  • The Legend of Zelda cartoon has been the butt of numerous jokes for its poor animation, out-of-character portrayals of Link and Zelda, and especially its campy and "really rad" dialogue. "Well, EXCUUUUUUUUSE me, princess!"
  • Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, for starters, suffers from cheap, Off-Model animation and terrible writing, thanks to a low budget and a five-days-a-week schedule that forced its creators to churn out episodes quickly rather than take the time to make them good. This show lasted longer and had more episodes than its counterpart SatAM. But it is great riffing material, and those faces are so expressive and make great reaction pics. All of this contributed to make the show a Fountain of Memes ("SnooPING AS usual I see..." being the most prominent one).
    • Sonic the Hedgehog teaches us about sexual harassment... In one of the most over the top and noninformative ways possible.
    Sonic: Kids, there's nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like. But if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes YOU feel uncomfortable? That's NO GOOD!
  • The second Sonic cartoon, SatAM, is actually considered pretty good, even if it has little to do with the games. Though it still considered So Bad, It's Good by some people due to awkward voice acting (Jim Cummings tried too hard to act evil, for example) and trying to be serious and falling flat as a result.^note Sonic appearing to be younger than his game counterpart probably didn't help. The third cartoon, Sonic Underground, however, is either this or just plain bad depending on who you ask.
  • The 90's Street Fighter cartoon has an almost completely ironic fandom and is a veritable Fountain of Memes thanks to its lamentable animation, hammy acting (especially Richard Newman's M. Bison, who steals every scene he's in) and often stupid and strange writing.
  • Most aspects of the Donkey Kong Country series actually aren't all that bad. The characters are accurate to their game counterparts and have likeable personalities (besides Candy), some of the jokes written for the show are genuinely funny, and though the mere presence of singing in the show can be unsettling to new viewers, the songs themselves aren't bad. However, it still tends to be mentioned in these sorts of situations because the animation, perhaps the first thing people notice about cartoons, really is So Bad It's Good, and in some people's opinions has thus become by far the biggest reason to watch the show. The badly-deformed character models fall into the Uncanny Valley with such force, they bounce back out of its depths and, combined with the good songs but with incredibly STUPID lyrics, ultimately becomes extremely surreal and hilarious.
    • The moment the songs play are likewise completely silly and out of nowhere. For instance, the link above is a clip of DK breaking into singing after Eddie suggests going for snow cones.
• This would also apply for most of Italian company Mondo TV's collaborative efforts with North Korea's SEK Studio when it came to certain shows.
  • Their poster child of how absolutely insane things could possibly get with their TV shows (meaning it's connected and expanded upon in future outings) is with Simba the King Lion. What started out as a sort of rip-off of The Lion King (1994) if it were presented as a TV show instead of a movie (not unlike Timon & Pumbaa in a way) evolves into something where Simba gains strange powers that came through staring at the Sun, including shooting light out of one of his paws and the eventual power of seeing through time, with a final battle involving Shere Khan after Simba learns he commanded the humans to kill Simba's father, as well as killed Simba's mother himself. Oh yeah, and one of the episodes there was pretty much nothing more than a dance party. After that, it then evolves into...
  • Simba Jr. to the World Cup, a sequel to Simba the King Lion where a dog named Winner gets kidnapped by someone and is taken away to New York City. From there, Simba recruits a bunch of animals, including a couple of anthropomorphic mice and a dinosaur for some reason, to travel to New York City (by entering a tree that's somehow a warp zone of sorts from the jungle to New York City) to find Winner and bring him back home. As you probably could tell, the insanity ramps up pretty quickly, and gets even weirder with the animals getting into a gang war with rats that have flamethrowers, tanks, and roller blades, to the point where a cat enters the fray... by having astral projection as a spirit. After Simba Jr. and his young friends help save Simba's own crew, they eventually find Winner... and it turns out he's actually a head coach for the animal World Cup for some unknown reason! And yet as weird as that gets, it only gets even weirder entering...
  • Winner and the Golden Child, which opens with a weird, cheap looking (and sounding) intro, but after that segues into where the last episode of the previous series left off, which revolved around a vision of the Land of Dinosaurs (which also includes things like golem people that literally look like huge clumps of shit and knockoff Power Rangers) involving the reveal of a prophet boy named Ari (voiced by the original Ash Ketchum, Veronica Taylor) that's presumed to be the future king there. Ari ends up being raised into the same jungle that Simba and Simba Jr. are in as a means to save both worlds in the "Great Dinosaur War," which involves a great witch and the return of Shere Khan. Along the way, weird subplots come up like interspecies pedophilia between Fox the dog and a young lioness, as well as implied racism, before Simba's daughter is considered something along the lines of a goddess in the other land by the end of it. And guess what? Somehow, that main story that has a genuine war going on ends with a soccer match of sorts against Shere Khan and his side, which includes the great witch choking on a soccer ball that Ari kicks into her mouth before he hits her with a magic spell he learned along the way. Saberspark tries covering all aspects of each series to the best of his abilities, especially the last one before being at a loss for words on that one, here. Arguably, one of the weirdest things about this show is that its characters were involved with a movie called "Christmas In New York". Well, that and the fact that it's a crossover show between what happened with "Simba the King Lion" and a show they did earlier called "The Legend of Snow White". And as Phelous noted, that "Christmas in New York" film pretty much requires somewhere between 130 and 182 episodes of mostly obscure anime or cartoons to watch it properly in the first place.
• Wild Grinders has awful animation, cliched plots that make no sense, and pretty much should be called teen stereotype TV. It has gotten to the point to where everyone who watches it laughs at how bad it is.
