Banned Cartoon Episodes!

 Here Are Some Banned Cartoon Episodes!


  • Reruns of the Amphibia episode "Contagi-Anne" were pulled from Disney XD and Disney Channel because of the plot of Anne pretending to be sick so she can skip doing her chores. It's still on Disney+, though.
  • The Big City Greens episode "Cricket's Shoes" was pulled from reruns on both Disney Channel and Disney XD, because it involved Cricket getting sick and at one point, he goes outside when he shouldn't, and twice at the beginning and end, he sneezes.
  • Boomerang removed reruns of the Garfield and Friends episodes "Peace and Quiet; Wanted: Wade; Garfield Goes Hawaiian" and "Attention-Getting Garfield; Swine Trek; It Must Be True!" from their channel because the plot of the third segment in the former episode involves Garfield catching the Hawaiian Cat Flu, despite the symptoms of the illness not resembling what one would consider to be the flu, and the second segment in the latter episode has its plot spurred from Orson being sick in bed. Both are still on the Boomerang app, however, and the former episode returned on June 26, 2020
  • Reruns of the Ready Jet Go! episode "Sean Has a Cold" and its sister episode "Mars Rock for Mom" were pulled because of the former being about, well, Sean having a cold
  • Speaking of SpongeBob, season 12 includes an episode entitled "Kwarantined Krab", in which the Krusty Krab is forced to be on quarantine because of a deadly virus called Clam Flu, and it ended with everyone getting a seperate disease for real, putting the Krusty Krab under "ultra-mega quarentine". Had this episode been released in any other year it would've been "just another episode", but it was the victim of unfortunate timing- it was set to air in 2020, right when a real virus spread rapidly and real quarantines were issued out. As a result, the season 12 DVD set doesn't even include this episode at all, leaving its sister segment "Who R Zoo?" by itself. The episode would finally air on April 29, 2022.
  • [adult swim] pulled reruns of the Bob's Burgersepisode "Flu-ouise", due to its A-plot involving Louise getting a flu. It returned to the regular rerun rotation in October 2020.
  • The 7th episode of Cleopatra in Space , "Quarantine" which involved almost everyone in school getting sick, was initially not put up on the streaming service
  • The Loud House episodes "One Flu Over the Loud House" and its sister episode "The Price of Admission" have been pulled from airing by Nickelodeon due to the former being a Plague Episode themed around mass infection. The episodes are still available for streaming.
  • According to animator Kyle A. Carrozza, some scenes in the Animaniacs episode "Hindenberg Cola" had to be redrawn in order for them to be less upsetting to viewers, since they could have been reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The Apple & Onion episode "Petri" was originally held back due to the episode being "too much about a virus for the times", as confirmed by the creator George Gendi. It was later made available on HBO Max when the full series was added to the service.
  • The Abby Hatcher episode "The Princess Flug Bug" has been delayed twice throughout 2020, due to the plot involving Princess Flug pretending to have the flu so she can see the doctor with the other Fuzzlies being vaguly similar to the COVID-19 pandemic. It would premiere along with its' sister episode "Abby's Farm Animal Friend" on April 1, 2022 in an early-morning timeslot.
  • Reruns of the Blue's Clues & You! episode "Getting Healthy With Blue" were pulled beginning in May 2020 because the episode dealt with Josh getting sick. It still appears on streaming and DVD releases, though.
  • On June 10th, 2020, the Bubble Guppies episode "The Police Cop-Etition!" was pulled from both reruns and the Nick Jr. and Noggin apps due to issues of police brutality, A re-run was slated to air two days after it was pulled from the apps on the Nick Jr. channel, but got replaced with one of "Come To Your Senses!" the day before.
  • One of the reasons that the Rugrats episode "Vacation" has rarely aired since 2003 is because it contains a scene in which Expys of Siegfeld and Roy are attacked by tigers.
