'''''The Legend of Calamity Jane''''' was a [[The Nineties|1997]] [[Animated Series|cartoon]] on the [[Kids WB]], made by the French animation studio ''Contre Allée'' that [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|depicted the adventures of the historical Calamity Jane]]. The series was [[Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty|gritty in tone]], and had a animation style similar to that of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman the Animated Series]]'' or fellow piece of French animated genius ''[[Night Hood]]''.
 
This cartoon aired exactly three times before it was [[Screwed Byby the Network|unexpectedly pulled off the air by KidsWB]], 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. Either way, for the dozen or so people that still remember this show, it was [[Too Good to Last]].
 
It seems that [http://www.youtube.com/user/rotarydialz someone has uploaded most of the episodes on YouTube]. [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]].<ref>The episodes seem to be a bit out of order. A proper episode list can be found on [[The Other Wiki]].</ref>
Line 28:
* [[Daddy's Girl]]
* [[Death Trap]]: The villains almost always decide on a slow, torturous death instead of just shooting Jane.
* [[Die Hard Onon an X]]: "I'd Rather Be In Philadelphia," where a group of Confederate soldiers [[The Remnant|still fighting the Civil War]] take a fair hostage as part of their plot assassinate President Grant.
* [[Dodge the Bullet]]: Jane pulls off a Matrix move in "Like Father, Like Daughter".
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Episode 13. ALL OF IT!
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: A group of Confederate soldiers [[The Remnant|still fighting the Civil War]] [[Mugged for Disguise|hijack a US Cavalry train]] to steal their uniforms to infiltrate a fair to assassinate President Grant.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: The triplets of "Easy as One, Two, Three..." keep speaking of their mother and her sage advice. However, [[Subverted Trope|there is the (very slight) implication that]] [[Self-Made Orphan|Conrad was the one who killed her]].
* [[Famed in Story]]: Jane herself.
Line 48:
* [[Last Second Chance]]: Sam Bass, a thief and hired gun, and Jane are [[Friendly Enemy|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." {{spoiler|Bass, however, [[One Last Job|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.}}
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: Episode 13. {{spoiler|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.}}
* [[Mugged for Disguise]]: A US Cavalry train is hijacked by Confederate soldiers [[The Remnant|still fighting the Civil War]] who will use their uniforms [[Dressing Asas the Enemy|to infiltrate a fair to assassinate President Grant]].
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]]: Captain O'Rourke of the US Cavalry explains even his unconscionable orders 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.
* [[One Last Job]]: Sam Bass joins up with Wooden Leg Gibson to rob a US Cavalry fort of weapons and ammunition for the Big Score to be able to leave his life of petty thievery behind. Jane interrupts the theft [[Last Second Chance|and gives Bass the chance to walk away]]. {{spoiler|He does not take that chance}}.
Line 54:
* [[Pocket Protector]]: It is a good thing Chena always carries around a copy of the works of [[Henry David Thoreau]].
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]
* [[Pragmatic Villainy]]: When a group of Confederate soldiers [[The Remnant|still fighting the Civil War]] [[Mugged for Disguise|hijacks a US Cavalry train]], the commanding officers keeps his subordinates from executing the captured soldiers. However, it is not because he has any sympathy for the soldiers, it is just that [[Dressing Asas the Enemy|they need to keep the uniforms clean]].
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]
* [[The Remnant]]: A group of Confederate soldiers still fighting the Civil War plan to assassinate President Grant and re-start the conflict.
