    I used to be scared of Tintin for some reason, but loved to sit around watching it.

    Doraemon

    This is a very big franchise in Asia but rarely mentioned in the west, so let me introduce it to (most of) you :>

    Doraemon is a robot cat from the 22nd century who has gone back in time to help a kid named Nobita. He has a lot of wacky gadgets to offer. Each episode is basically a story about one of these gadgets. They also pump out a new movie every year.

      Ninja Hattori is big in Asia but unknown in the rest of the world as well right?

      Doraemon is incredibly popular in Spain, to the point that basically everyone no matter the age knows at least the premise and the main characters. It baffled me when I found out that it was largely unknown in other western countries.

      Edit: I just remembered Shinchan, another anime that is huge in Spain but not very popular elsewhere.

    Tiny Toon Adventures, then Animaniacs.

    Kinda giving away my age, but Animaniacs was right around the time I just started appreciating characters such as Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.

    My all time favorite was Robotech, though it has not aged well.
    I also went through a lot of Disney in my youth:

    • Gummi Bears
    • Duck tales
    • Darkwing Duck

    And then there was the smattering of others:

    • Dungeons and Dragons
    • Thundercats

      I had a love/hate relationship with that show because I felt so sorry for Tom. Kept watching it though so clearly it did something right.

      I used to watch a lot of Boomerang in Latin America, they aired either OG Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry for 1 hour daily
