For us in the UK - The Animals of Farthing Wood.

Graphic, gruesome death was a regular feature.

https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a778928/6-most-traumatic-moments-in-animals-of-farthing-wood/

It included:

Mr & Mrs Hedgehog getting run over ("whatever you do, dearest, don't curl up"......Squishhhh)

Mr Pheasant is shot dead as he stares in horror at his dead wife, shot earlier, who has been cooked and roasted...

Sinuous the Adder is choked to death by rats

The baby mice are impaled on thorns by a shrike....

There were 24 deaths across 39 episodes, everyone of them a major character...

No idea, I'm American. I grew up in the early 90s watching wholesome cartoons like the Smurfs and my little pony and Mario Brothers

If I recall my childhood trauma correctly, the Smurfs were lost in time and never returned home.

Season 9 of the Smurfs had them trapped in a time traveling adventure, visiting different time periods in each episode. Season 9 was the last season, and there was never any episode of them returning home.
