Trivia[]
- While Discovery Kids quickly became an extremely popular channel in Scandinavia, the initial reaction to the replacement from some Minimax fans was quite negative, one reason being the removals of Doraemon and Crayon Shin-Chan. One of the most notable examples was a picture from a Swedish DeviantArt user from late 2006 called "Katt mot hund (Cat vs. Dog)" involving Doraemon killing Doki, which is ironic considering the fact that the 2005 anime would start airing on the channel in 2015.
