kaw0ru replied to your post:I’m so excited that people are actually answering...
It just occurred to me.Do you mean’American’when you say’Western’?And’Japanese’when you say’Eastern’?The only examples of non-American western media I’ve noticed are Moomins,The Animals of Farthing Wood,and Nils(the book).And Eastern are all Japanese
In my answer yes, but there are some russian stuff I've seen too, and don't take me wrong, I like them. They're soft, they're smooth... but thing is I don't remember them that well. I think I've seen a russian animation of the snowqueen (I THINK), and then there's this one with two sisters, grandma and a frost dude...
Finnish television did mostly (during my childhood 1990->) air those series from America (also some series do have co worked with other countries. example: Animals from Farthing wood is a French/American animation series).
When I speak of Western and Eastern animation, I want to include everything in them. Russian is an animation contributor to the Eastern side, and I LOVE the fact that you did include it in your answer.
But the simple answer to your question is No.
There's a whole lot to both categories. It's just what people associate with the terms Eastern and Western, and probably a big impact to this is also their childhood and what they remember watching.
I mean Alfred J. Kwak (a series I also watched and was afraid of as a kid) is a product of Japan/German/Netherland.
