Small World was a children's animated anthology show and variety show, which aired on Cartoon Network in the late 1990s every Sunday morning, as a showcase of foreign animated series for children which had otherwise been disregarded by U.S. networks in the past, alongside special weekday episode airings. Most of the programming came from Europe, particularly the United Kingdom since that programming has no need to be translated. It never showed Chinese, Korean and Japanese imports.

The show ran on Cartoon Network from 1996 to 2002. In Asia and Oceania, the show was also aired on Cartoon Network Asia. Until 2006, Small World was aired in Latin America and Brazil on Cartoon Network.
