* One news source for ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' actually calls [[BrattyHalfPint Vanellope Von Schweetz]] Ralph's [[NoYay love interest]].

* Build-a-Bear Workshop's description for their plush toy of Fluffy from ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'' starts with "Agnes, Gru's favourite unicorn, is totally adorable in furry friend form!" Fluffy is the name of the unicorn, and Agnes is the name of one of Gru's stepdaughters and the person who actually owns said unicorn, not Gru.

** There can ''only'' be a [[SexIsEvil bad explanation]] for Casey crashing at April's place so often. How could the two of them ''possibly'' be [[InnocentCohabitation chaste]]?

* There used to be a very vocal group on the Website/IMDb discussion boards who claimed that "Creator/DreamWorksAnimation rips off {{Creator/Pixar}}" when in fact all the "examples" they quoted were of pairs of movies (e.g. ''{{WesternAnimation/Antz}}'' vs. ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'') which had almost nothing in common other than that they (1) were CGI animations, (2) had similar protagonists and (3) came out at around the same time (which can be accounted for entirely by the fact that there are fashions in movie scriptwriting as in everything else, hence also the rash of disaster movies in the early [[TheSeventies 1970s]]). One thing those commentors evidently failed to grasp was AnimationLeadTime; it just isn't possible to crank out a high-quality, feature length animation in short order. One particularly dumb example was that ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' was supposedly "ripped off" from ''{{WesternAnimation/Ratatouille}}'' despite the fact that the former is actually an Creator/AardmanAnimations film ([=DreamWorks=] only distributed it) hence is a poor choice for anyone wanting to prove anything about [=DreamWorks=]; and (2) the ''only'' thing the two have in common is that both have rodent protagonists -- hardly a unique selling point in animation (one could just as logically claim that "''Ratatouille'' ripped off (insert title of random Mickey Mouse cartoon here)").

* The infamous argument that ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing'' ripped off ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' is flawed on several levels, and most videos on the subject come from people who have never seen the show themselves. Many if not most comparisions [[ManipulativeEditing involve footage taken out of context]], sometimes from material released ''after'' [=TLK=] came out, and many "similarities" are either entirely superficial, [[OlderThanTheyThink pre-date them both]], and sometimes are just made up. For those interested, ''WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg'' did some research on the controversy and ended up making a [[https://youtu.be/G5B1mIfQuo4 a 2-hour in-depth analysis]] that debunks most of the arguments made by the "Kimba Crowd". In a delicious bit of irony, a fan of Adam even discovered a pre-Kimba comic about a lion named Simba, and Adam then added a [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard parody of the Kimba crowd videos by using the exact same arguments used in them]].

* When ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime IX'' was first released, there was a very bizarre review on Amazon, which somehow referred to the previous film, ''The Big Freeze'', as "Time of Much Snow". Also, even more strange, the review talked about the death of Littlefoot's '''grandmother''' instead of his mother, suggesting that this user didn't do any research.

* Some online sources, when reporting on the cast for [[Creator/IlluminationEntertainment Illumination Entertainment's]] upcoming ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' & showing the actors next to pictures of their characters, mistakenly believe Sebastian Maniscalco is voicing Spike, the green, spiny throwing enemy {{Mook}} introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', instead of [Foreman Spike from ''VideoGame/WreckingCrew.'' This is understandable since the reveal refers to him simply as "Spike" and the latter character is rather obscure, but the official reveal had each actor shown next to a small icon of their character, and Spike's looked nothing like the green guy.

* Sometimes extremist Christian parties pick on cartoons that, according to them, send subliminal messages to children that are watching them, and usually falling in really bad cases of CriticalResearchFailure. This is the case with Italian politician and activist Mario Adinolfi, leader of the "People of the Family"[[note]] a political party notorious for propagating fake news and libel about homosexuality, atheism and adoptive families[[/note]] who strongly bashed ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3'' for its alleged "Gender Ideology propaganda" and "brainwashing children into homosexuality", based on the fact that Po, or rather [[IAmNotShazam "Kung Fu Panda"]], has two fathers. He blatantly ignored the fact that Mr. Ping was Po's adoptive father ''since the beginning of the series'', and Po has found his true father in the third film. Adinolfi did not even apologize to angered fans of the film, insisting that he found the film's message to be deviating.

* DVD Verdict's review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' calls it the first computer animated movie in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, even though ''two'' CGI movies immediately preceded it, and Disney produced a [[WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}} CG/live-action hybrid]] even earlier. Becomes even more [[CriticalResearchFailure critical]] by the fact the body of the review includes a link to an article about Disney's ''actual'' first all-CGI movie, ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle''.

* The ''Christian Review'' website complained in their review of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} 2'' that Donkey having children with Dragon implied that he was a "Freewheeling playboy" despite the fact that Dragon is the only romantic partner he has and that two people who love each other having children is [[OlderThanDirt something that's gone on for ages untold]]. They didn't seem to have a problem with the end of ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun'' though, in which the island the chickens land on is swarming with chicks, despite the fact that Rocky is the only fertile rooster in the bunch...

* WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}: After actress Creator/PatriciaHeaton criticized Pixar for recasting Buzz with Creator/ChrisEvans instead of Creator/TimAllen, several right-wing news outlets claimed that Allen was let go from Disney due to the actor's conservative beliefs, and that Evans would permanently voice Buzz in all future projects. Not only was Allen working on a sequel series to ''Film/TheSantaClause'' with Disney at the time of ''Lightyear'''s premier, but director Angus [=MacLane=] had stated much earlier that Evans was chosen as Buzz because he wanted the human Buzz to differentiate himself from the toy Buzz. Plus, Allen himself was fine with the recasting, and even encouraged his followers on social media to give Evans (who himself gave heavy praise to Allen's original performance) a chance in the role.

* The [=MovieGuide.org=] review of ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut'' refers to Big Gay Al as being black. It also claims that "the whole point of ''South Park'' is that the children in the movie should have been allowed to see the Terrance & Phillip movie, just as the world's children should be allowed to see ''South Park'', even though it is rated R. Furthermore, the message of the movie is clear: that adults should let children engage in depraved actions and foul language, and that all this is just part of growing up."

* There used to be a very vocal group on the Website/IMDb discussion boards who claimed that "Creator/DreamWorksAnimation rips off {{Creator/Pixar}}" when in fact all the "examples" they quoted were of pairs of movies (e.g. ''{{WesternAnimation/Antz}}'' vs. ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'') which had almost nothing in common other than that they (1) were CGI animations, (2) had similar protagonists and (3) came out at around the same time (which can be accounted for entirely by the fact that there are fashions in movie scriptwriting as in everything else, hence also the rash of disaster movies in the early [[TheSeventies 1970s]]). (One thing those commentors evidently failed to grasp was animation lead time; it just isn't possible to crank out a high-quality, feature length animation in short order.) One particularly dumb example was that ''WesternAnimation/FlushedAway'' was supposedly "ripped off" from ''{{WesternAnimation/Ratatouille}}'' despite the fact that the former is actually an Creator/AardmanAnimations film ([=DreamWorks=] only distributed it) hence is a poor choice for anyone wanting to prove anything about [=DreamWorks=]; and (2) the ''only'' thing the two have in common is that both have rodent protagonists -- hardly a unique selling point in animation (one could just as logically claim that "''Ratatouille'' ripped off (insert title of random Mickey Mouse cartoon here)").

** Hell, the "Dreamworks rips off Pixar" issue affected the obscure British-Canadian series ''Anthony Ant'', a negative review written by one of the members of this group (bashing it for supposedly being a cash-in on ''Antz'' and ''A Bugs' Life'' even though the show not only premiered in 1999, almost a year after both came out in theaters, but was based off a book written in ''1993'') is literally the description for the show's IMDB page when you look it up on Google, and likely helped give it a (rather unfair) ''3-star rating''.
