    I recall them being popular in Germany, too, but yeah, they never took off like that here in the US.

      Disney had (has?) a very strong cultural position in Sweden.

      It’s a Christmas tradition to watch a TV broadcast of a Disney cartoon medley that started 1960 and is still going strong, the majority of Swedes watch it every year.

      Before the dedicated cartoon channels made their debut in the latter half of the 90’s, the only time you could watch cartoons where on Friday night, and it was all Disney. It was called Disneydags, or Time for Disney translated.
