The Legend of Calamity Jane was a 1997 cartoon on the Kids' WB!, made by the French animation studio Contre Allée that depicted the adventures of the historical Calamity Jane. The series was gritty in tone, and had an art style similar to that of Superman: The Animated Series, Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths and Legends, or fellow piece of French animated genius Night Hood.This cartoon aired exactly three times before it was unexpectedly pulled off the air by Kids' WB!, though an entire season aired in other countries. No explanation has ever been given as to why the show was suddenly cancelled, but some have suspected that Moral Guardians got on the show's case for its gun violence, or perhaps that Kids WB themselves got cold feet over its subject matter.For the next several decades the show was considered lost since it never received a rebroadcast or any home media release. In the 2010s fans uploaded copies of VHS recordings of the original broadcasts to YouTube, but two episodes remained missing until 2020. It wasn't until January 2023 that Discotek Media announced that they would release the series on Blu-ray later in the year, and it became available to stream on Tubi. | |

Daddy's Girl: Jane is this to her father despite him walking out on her and her mother at a young age, thanks to all the stories of heroism and valor her mother told to Jane about him before she died. Liam's criminal boss tries to use this to his advantage to deter Jane from interfering in his bank robber scheme by having Liam pretend to be her father. | |

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Episode 13. In the span of five minutes Jane had her hands tied, was repeatedly punched in the gut, smashed in the face, thrown into a crate, tossed through a wall and left to die in a desert where vultures tried to eat her. And still there wasn't a single drop of blood. No wonder she's so white. | |

Con Man | |
| The Legend of Calamity Jane / int_9919369d | comment |
Con Man: Liam Canary aka Donnie Shaw from "Like Father, Like Daughter". He pretended to be Jane's long lost father to keep her distracted while his possé tried to rob Deadwood's bank. Later he decided that, even if it was not the truth, he wanted it to be after being friends with Jane's actual father for so long. | |

Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas | |
| The Legend of Calamity Jane / int_9fe35833 | comment |
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: The criminal triplets known as Hugo (green coat), Harold (blue coat), and Conrad (red coat) of "Easy as One, Two, Three..." keep speaking of their mother and her sage advice. However, there is the (very slight) implication that one of the brothers named Hugo was the one who killed her. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| The Legend of Calamity Jane / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: Jane's past is both toned down from her historical counterpart (who was both a heavy drinker and a prostitute, among other things), but was still plenty unusual for the medium (young cabaret singer, though Sue says she was thankfully handled with "kid gloves"). | |

Sheathe Your Sword | |
| The Legend of Calamity Jane / int_b2226c2f | comment |
Sheathe Your Sword: When the US Cavalry comes to move the Comanche, whether the Comanche want to be moved or not, Chaynah has all the warriors arm themselves and prepare for battle, only to toss his bow and arrows on the ground before the cavalry captain. As he explains, the treaty between the Comanche and the US allows them to live on this land for as long as they keep the peace; by refusing to fight, the Comanche force the US government to break its own laws in order to relocate them. | |

My Country, Right or Wrong: Captain O'Rourke of the US Cavalry explains even his unconscionable orders of killing innocent Indians with "I have my orders." Chena of the Comanche says not to hold it against him, since if one does not stick to his principals (In O'Rourke's case, the principal of serving his country) then there is nothing left. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| The Legend of Calamity Jane / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Not too much, but Jane's completely chalk white skin really makes her stand out amongst almost every other character in the show (except for a French villain in episode 4), which are in turn designed and colored quite conventionally. Even more odd is the fact no one in the show seems to notice or call attention to it. Neither is ever explained if there is an actual reason for it in the show, unless in this world all gingers happen to be that pale. | |

Last-Second Chance: Sam Bass, a thief and hired gun, and Jane are friends who would prefer not to have to fight one another. When Jane is chasing a fugitive wanted for bank robbery and murder, only to learn that Bass is now part of his gang, each tries to get the other to leave and not get involved. At the end of the episode, after Jane has managed to disable most of the gang, she tells Sam to give up and drop his gun since he is "not a killer." Bass, however, sees this as an opportunity to finally get a Big Score and leave his life of petty thievery behind, and keeps trying to load one more shell into his rifle right up until Jane knocks him out. | |
