Easy cartoons for dipping into native content?

The reason I look for dubs, cartoons especially, is usually they have slower and clearer speech. Anything else is too far beyond my level.

I tried Pokemon Concierge and was surprised I understood quite a few things. Trotro is also pretty easy but it bored me a little too much. I tried looking for the Simpsons but NONE of my streaming services had the first season for free AND in French.

Anyone have any other recommendations? I'm getting through Pokémon concierge pretty quickly and will need something else. I have access to Netflix, Hulu, and Prime. I sadly don't have Disney+.

Edit: I found this website today! I just wish they had more things ranked difficulty level 20 or lower. https://learnnatively.com/

Ehoui has upper beginner podcast now

A lot of youtubers seem to be realizing that there's less content for beginners than intermediate learners. I gave it a try and at level 3 I can more or less understand this video.

Alice in Paris - short video series

Still above my level, but understanding this video 100% is my goal. I heard that more advanced learners love this series. Maybe more if you're level 4 or 5?

Canales para aprender francés? Any good Spanish channels for learning French as a hispanohablante would, one that is mostly in Spanish?

Not looking for French CI so I thought I'd try asking here. I'm only looking for recommendations in Spanish. I want to learn more French without forgetting my Spanish and I thought this was the best way. Cuáles son los mejores canales para aprender francés como un hispanohablante?

CI gaming channel

If you search Aprende francés con videojuegos there's some CI gaming videos by a guy named Vincent. It's in ALL French, not Spanish, despite the video names and descriptions being Español.

He has tons of Uno and Fall guys, but there's also Overcooked, Moving out, and Slime Rancher. I don't know what level yet, but he seems to talk slowly and simply.

This guy has a lot of interesting podcasts, and many are marked beginner (débutant). He alternates between beginner and intermediate with each new episode. He's similar to InnerFrench, even with how the transcript is on his website. But the shorter episodes make for easier listening and the topics tend to be a LOT simpler. No long, difficult discussions about economics (yes I'm talking about InnerFrench episode 9)! Similar to francais avec adrien (débutants), I also find it a lot easier to repeat these episodes than I did with InnerFrench.

I'm almost level 3, so not sure if it's more level 2 or level 3.

I liked this episode a lot:
