Not really, Anime rarely at all takes influence from cartoons, and many cartoons don't take inspiration from anime, but the few cartoons that do are considered Japanese influenced animation. Not cartoon, but not anime, just an animation similar to anime.

Alot of anime that is aimed at the west defintly uses influence from whenever the art style or just how western countrys react to tv (the west are very heavy on gritty, drama shows) and the best example i can give you is monster or in my eyes and even bigger one is the recently airing space dandy in which is obiviously being dubbed firet and has alot of western comedy in it
