Robinson Sucroe (Robinson Sucroë) is a 1995 French-Canadian animated series produced by CINAR (now WildBrain). The English version of the series aired in Canada on YTV and Teletoon in the late 1990s.
The series is probably more famous for the lawsuits that resulted from it than anything else. Claude Robinson, a Quebec cartoonist, claimed that CINAR had stolen his idea for a series called Les aventures de Robinson Curiosité. After a lengthy court case (and the closure of CINAR as well as the death of one of its founders), the matter was decided in Robinson's favor and the masters ordered to be destroyed.
