Cool, I've always liked how cartoons can interact with the cold war since it's rarely done, but when it is it feels pretty cool, as I feel that it has a lot of untapped potential setting wise compared to world war 2.I'm not so sure, but Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb would instead be depicted as Russian.
Also, Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls could easily use images of a nuclear apocalypse to threaten the other characters.
Perhaps Star Butterfly from Star vs the Forces of Evil could turn the Berlin Wall into one big stack of marshmallows.
I think it's much more likely that children's shows would avoid references to the cold war and nuclear weapons.I'm not so sure, but Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb would instead be depicted as Russian.

Slightly off topic I wish this happened in OTL. Amon was the best villain of the series.Instead of Legend of Korra being made an anthology series with a villain every season, Amon is set up as the series' main antagonist and his Equalist revolution is depicted with lots of Stalinist overtones. Instead of Kuvira developing weapons from the spirit vines, it would be Amon.

With The Singing Ringing Tree, Children of the Stones and The Changes plus Crystaltips and Alistair (scary in a different way) to watch, its remarkable that British children of the 1970s grew up as well adjusted as they did.Don't forget the Singing Ringing Tree, although that was from the DDR. That scared me when I first saw it on the Beeb.

I remember The Secret of Steel City airing on BBC.Strange as it may sound, with a prolonged cold war, Czechoslovak children's television series like Pan Tau, Arabela or The Visitors might continue to run on western TV channels the way they did in the 70's and 80's. The valuta starved eastern european countries sold their sometimes quite decent TV productions for absolute bargain prices and some of them became popular in western countries as well. I'm honestly not aware of any post 1989 Czechoslovak / Czech TV productions being aired on western TV channels IOTL, but if any of them were they did certainly not achieve the same level of popularity the earlier shows did.
I don't imagine much. Children shows produced during the OTL Cold War never referenced it, aside from the occasional appearance of sympathetic Soviet characters.
I wouldn't be so sure. After all, Animaniacs did feature a Saddam Hussein expy in Baghdad Cafe and Hot, Bothered, and Bedeviled, though the Hot, Bothered, and Bedeviled one was a very brief cameo of him being dropped into Hell in the intro. I could definitely see them poking fun at the USSR and the Cold War in general if it was still going on at the time of production.I think it's much more likely that children's shows would avoid references to the cold war and nuclear weapons.
That stuff would be like a kid's show referencing ISIS, North Korea or Putin-not gonna happen. It's too controversial and heavy a topic for a children's show.
