Xiaolin Chronicles
Canadian-American animated/CG television series
Xiaolin Chronicles (笑林傳記) is an animated/CG television series presented as a continuation of Xiaolin Showdown. The series premiered on August 26, 2013, with three back-to-back episodes serving as a preview. The full series premiered on September 14, 2013. It was produced by ActionFliks Media Corporation in collaboration with the French studio Genao Productions. It is the only Xiaolin Showdown production made without the involvement of Warner Bros. Animation.
The show aired for twenty episodes from August 26, 2013, to March 6, 2014, on Disney XD, leaving the last six episodes unaired in the United States until July 1, 2015, when Chronicles was made available to watch on Netflix.
In a newsletter published on July 25, 2015, creator Christy Hui announced that Chronicles would not continue with a second season and is a standalone series. However, she stated that there would be a new Xiaolin project that will continue in a format to that of Showdown.
Production
Produced in France and the United States with Christy Hui returning as executive producer, the show is animated in 2D animation while CGI was used for all of the Xiaolin Showdown scenes.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Xiaolin Chronicles” is canadian-American animated/CG television series. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Xiaolin, Chronicles and Canadian-American, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “canadian-American animated/CG television series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15306896. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
