For the US we have Pixar, Dreamworks, Disney Animation Studios, Hanna-Barbara, Nickelodean, and those old ass cartoon shows that CN loves to rerun in pretty much every single 3rd world country. Sorry but American animation is far more popular than anime.

this. they have more ad's around the world, their animation are more opened to cencorship for most countries. more easy to translate and more easy to register. but i think manga are more common around the world rather than comics.

There are large portion of population here who knows The Simpsons even though they never watched any episodes of it, and more easily for any classic Disney movies. You will find much more people knows Toy Story than any titles made by Ghibli.

Maybe not Tom and Jerry (although some people still know what it is) but everybody knows who Bugs Bunny is. And there's also modern stuff like Frozen and Tangled to take into account.

Frozen grossed $1.279 Billion and is currently ranked #6 highest grossing movies of all time so yea I'm going to say American animation wins by a landslide, especially considering as there are a few others to gross over $1 billion as well.

I think American Cartoons.
Why? Well because here in the west they air American cartoons alot, so young people easily get to know them.
In comparison to anime which you really have to search up for you to know what it means.
There are after all alot of people saying they used to watch dbz or pokemon but didn't realise it was anime till they were older.

On a random non-anime forum, according to a poll there 75% of the Gen Z-ers watched anime. I found that a little surprising.

On popularity, American cartoons by a landslide. Like it or not, more people know their Little Mermaids and their Frozens than their Naruto and Bleach.

On quality, Anime by a landslide.
