** Plenty of mistakes are abound in the ''Disney Song Encyclopedia'' as well. The description for the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' theme claims that the show is "about the colorful Kit Cloudkicker, who flies his plane through various adventures in the tropics." Um, hello? Baloo was the pilot; Kit was his navigator. The book also claims that ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' retained its theme song from the original Nickelodeon series, but anyone who has seen both versions of the show can tell you that the theme songs sound nothing alike.

** Leonardo and Raphael's fight ''midway'' through the movie is described as a battle between Leo and Michaelangelo -- at the film's beginning!

** "Stories went nowhere..." In other words, nobody at [=MovieGuide=] had ever heard of the 2003 animated series? Or the original comics? The intro was a minimal effort to give newcomers [[AllThereInTheManual an insight into the film's world]], just in the bleak chance that someone going to see it [[SmallReferencePools had never been exposed to previous Turtles-related material]].

* [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120509211245/http://cinemovie.tv/cinemovie_new/component/content/article/55-interviews/1280-guillermo-del-toro-interview-pinocchio-dreamworks This article]] about Guillermo Del Toro joining Creator/DreamWorksAnimation claims that the studio's 2012 movie ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' is a sequel to Zack Snyder's ''[[WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheGuardiansTheOwlsOfGaHoole Legend of the Guardians]]''. You know, that owl movie made by ''WARNER BROTHERS''.

* A common error is to conflate Disney with Pixar. They are not at all the same; although Pixar is owned by Disney, they are an autonomous company within Disney, not a division thereof. This is particularly bad in the Website/YouTube video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSQNZ_Nblrs Pixar Trivia]], supposedly a compilation of "music clips from Pixar movies" -- but one of them was from ''Planes'', which although set in the ''{{WesternAnimation/Cars}}'' universe, was made by Disney, not Pixar.[[note]]And in any case, a lot of them are actually from trailers, and weren't used in the movie.[[/note]] Even worse, many of the more ignorant commenters complained of the "absence" of ''Disney/TheLionKing'' -- which is nothing remotely to do with Pixar.

* The book ''Creator/{{Disney}} Dossiers: Files of Characters From the Walt Disney Studios'' is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons chock-full of glaring omissions]] and mistakes. For example, Disney/{{Aladdin}}'s fact sheet says "Parents: None (orphan)", completely neglecting the fact that him finding out his father was alive was '''the main friggin' plot of ''Disney/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'''''[[note]]which the book also claims came out a year earlier than it actually did[[/note]]. [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco's]] profile also seems to negate the existence of [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool Malina]] by saying that Kuzco has no "significant other", even though it ''does'' sound like something Kuzco would say about himself[[note]]The book was released in 2006 and Malina wouldn't become official with Kuzco until the finale in 2008, so they're technically right[[/note]]. Also, for some reason, DonaldDuck's filmography highlights includes the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' movie (which he wasn't even mentioned in), Timon's last name (Berkowitz) and Scar's birth name (Taka) are forgotten, and some of the voice actors for the characters are glaringly omitted (''e.g.'', Cam Clarke for [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]], April Winchell for [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]]).

* Armond White’s review of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'': "The toys wage battle with the daycare center's cynical veteran cast-offs: Hamm the Piggy Bank pig, Lotsa Hugs and Big Baby." Hamm is not from the daycare center, he's one of Andy's toys, and he appeared in the previous two films. Oh, and even more importantly, he's not, nor has he ever been a villain.[[note]]A bit of a {{Jerkass}}, yes, but not a villain.[[/note]] Possibly, he saw Hamm being portrayed as a villain in young Andy's playful imagination at the start of the movie and somehow confused this with the rest of the movie. Also, the villain's name is Lots'''o''' Hugg'''in''' Bear, not Lotsa Hugs.

** Granted Clarke and Winchell voiced the characters in two mostly forgotten tv series spin-offs.

* The book ''Creator/{{Disney}} Dossiers: Files of Characters From the Walt Disney Studios'' is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons chock-full of glaring omissions]] and mistakes.

* Some articles about ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' assert that the "a bunch of others we don't need to mention" joke, during which images from various canceled or somewhat controversial ''Franchise/{{LEGO}}'' lines [[{{Blipvert}} flash on screen]], was a show of SelfDeprecation on LEGO's part, and that the lines in question (for example ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'', ''Toys/{{Fabuland}}'' and ''Toys/LEGOFriends'') were some of their biggest failures. While it is true that the LEGO fandom is [[BrokenBase seriously divided]] over these lines and some of them have attracted quite a furious {{Hatedom}}, most of them were ''far'' from failures. ''Fabuland'' and ''BIONICLE'' have devoted followings despite the former having been canceled since the '80s, and the latter was one of the company's most successful and top-selling non-licensed properties (not to mention a LongRunner among the action-oriented themes, returning in 2015 for another planned three years), having played a huge part in saving LEGO from going out of business during the early 2000s -- the exact opposite of a failure. The joke was really either the creators poking fun at them or [[spoiler: a reference to how Finn can't play with them since he might not own any of the toys]].

* When ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime IX'' was first released, there was [[http://www.amazon.com/review/R541BWG3VM38C/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm a very bizarre review on amazon.com]], talking about the film's predecessor, ''Time of Much Snow''. There has never been a ''Land Before Time'' film by that name (although the previous movie, while using the title ''The Big Freeze'', did feature a snowstorm as a major plot point, so it is possible that English was not this person's first language). Also, even more strange, is when the reviewer talks about the reincarnation of Littlefoot's grandmother. Considering his grandmother never died, one must wonder what this person was smoking.

** More Roger Ebert. In [[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091223/REVIEWS/912239991 this review]] of Guy Ritchie's ''Film/SherlockHolmes'', he accuses the movie of tossing 'aside the deerstalker hat and meerschaum calabash' (neither of which were ever mentioned in the novel) and also that 'Watson has decided for once and all to abandon the intimacy of 221B for the hazards of married life' (he was married at least twice in the books). Also apparently originally Watson was always 'fretful and frightened' - a base libel against Watson who fought bravely in the Afghan war and was always staunchly by Holmes' side whatever the danger.

* ''Film/IronMan'':
** Starring Robert Downey Jr. as [[http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/57/1210171758386fy6.png Tony]] [[http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22iron+man%22+%22tony+spark%22&rlz=1R2GGLL_en-GBGB376&aq=f&aqi=g-sx10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= Spark]]. If you think that's bad, Swedish ''Metro'' called him [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Frost Robert Frost]].
** The freeview T.V synopsis described Iron Man as starring Robert Downey Jr. as Robert Stack, a billionaire playboy.

* Box summaries of movies are great for this (see also the Anime examples). From the back of the DVD of ''Film/AChristmasStory'': "(Ralphie) also endures all kinds of childhood calamaties from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit." Ralphie's brother had the snowsuit paralysis (which was never called as such), his friend Flick did the flagpole (which was not a gambit), and the yellow-eyed bully was actually named Scut Farkus.

* For a time, Hulu described the scene from ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' where Doc whisks Marty and Jennifer off to 2015 as "Doc surprises Marty and Lorraine with an urgent request to come into the future to save their kids." Lorraine is the name of his mother...but since Lea Thompson has far more screen time than either Elisabeth Shue or Claudia Wells, it's understandable.

* A Chilean negative review of the ''Film/RockyAndBullwinkle'' movie called Rocky (who is a flying squirrel) "a beaver". ''[[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rocko]]'' feels his pain.

** [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20158_the-6-most-baffling-video-game-spinoffs.html This article]] erroneously claims that the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise is comprised almost entirely of spin-offs, and that Sega renamed Sonic "Shadow" at one point in an attempt to make him cooler.

----

** Speaking of Disney, Netflix has been inaccurate on the info of two of the movies in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon: ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'' and ''Disney/BrotherBear''. Respectively, Netflix says that '''Fagin''' was the villain when it's actually '''Sykes''' (probably they confused it with [[Literature/OliverTwist other adaptations of the same story]]), and that Kenai was avenging his '''father''' when Sitka is clearly his '''eldest brother'''.

** White’s review of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'': "The toys wage battle with the daycare center's cynical veteran cast-offs: Hamm the Piggy Bank pig, Lotsa Hugs and Big Baby." Hamm is not from the daycare center, he's one of Andy's toys, and he appeared in the previous two films. Oh, and even more importantly, he's not, nor has he ever been a villain. (A bit of a {{Jerkass}}, yes, but not a villain.) Possibly, he saw Hamm being portrayed as a villain in young Andy's playful imagination at the start of the movie and somehow confused this with the rest of the movie. Also, the villain's name is Lots'''o''' Hugg'''in''' Bear, not Lotsa Hugs.
** In White’s review of ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'', he identifies Marcel, the black film projectionist/Shoshanna's lover, as the narrator of the penultimate chapters. There's a LOT wrong with that statement: 1. The brief narration is done by Creator/SamuelLJackson, who has a distinctive voice to anyone who watches movies. 2. The narration is in English, where Marcel appears to speak only French, 3. There is no narration in the penultimate chapters. The two times Jackson narrates are near the center of the film. Which is of course all lost on the poor basterds who only get to see the film badly dubbed into French/German/Russian/Urdu/... Oh, and [[spoiler:Marcel is implied to die at the end of the film, as all exits are blocked, and he is at the heart of the conflagration.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'':
** There's been an assumption on the part of some of the reviewing public that this is a Creator/TimBurton film, due to both the animation style and the fact that the trailers hype it as being by "the director of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''". The director, for ''both'' films, is in fact Henry Selick, and Burton has nothing to do with ''Coraline''. Neil Gaiman, author of the original book, [[http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/02/by-way-of-preamble.html has expressed his annoyance with this]], and it's been [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02092009.shtml mocked]] in webcomics. Neil Gaiman, from the above blog entry:
--->"It was irritating when people started asking me ''why'' the advertising said "From the director of ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''", and wasn't it some kind of a sneaky attempt to make people think that it was by Tim Burton?, and I would sigh, and say no, it was a sneaky attempt to make people think it was directed by the person who directed ''The Nightmare Before Christmas''. (And given that people were saying this about trailers that made a point of saying Henry's name, I had little patience with it.)"
** Another blame for this is the InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt for ''Nightmare''. (In other words, its full title is ''Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas''. Mind you, Burton was only responsible for the ''concept'' of that movie as he was busy directing ''Film/BatmanReturns'' at the same time.)

* A "[[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids parent's review]]" of the ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'' [[Film/{{Watchmen}} movie adaptation]], instead of reviewing the actual film, listed every single instance of violence or sexual content without mentioning anything else, then concluded that the ultimate message of the story was that "humankind is inherently savage". What? Even more hilarious, another blurb stated the movie's premise as: "After the death of one of his colleagues, the masked vigilante Rorschach sets out on a mission to kill all superheroes." (His quest was to ''save'' superheroes!)

* And here's a kicker: Ted Baehr's [=MovieGuide=] did its review of the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' film shortly after its release, and did an utterly atrocious job explaining the film's content factually. For starters:
** Leonardo and Raphael's fight ''midway'' through the movie is described as a battle between Leo and Michaelangelo -- at the film's beginning!
** 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]]?
** "Stories went nowhere..." In other words, nobody at [=MovieGuide=] had ever heard of the 2003 animated series? Or the original comics? The intro was a minimal effort to give newcomers [[AllThereInTheManual an insight into the film's world]], just in the bleak chance that someone going to see it [[SmallReferencePools had never been exposed to previous Turtles-related material]].
** The thing with those stars aligning to unleash a beam of energy on Earth that [[SealedEvilInACan unlocks monsters from another world]] is merely modification of a common plot device. A similar theme was used in the first Comicbook/FantasticFour [[Film/FantasticFour movie]], with the cosmic beam storm. But somehow, this is an ''evil'' tactic by ''Satan'' to get us addicted to looking for answers in -'astrology''! Never mind that not one single constellation in the Zodiac ([[EasternZodiac Eastern]] or [[WesternZodiac Western]]) was even once mentioned on screen.
** "Calm yourself" is not simple advice, according to Baher. It's an "evil and false Buddhist doctrine." What?
** Contrary to Baher's assessment of "a confused view," the movie actually has no problem with vigilantism ''per se''. What it does have a problem with is [[IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim Punisher-style vigilantism]]. The Foot Clan and monsters [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman are what they are]] and are deemed as "[[WhatMeasureIsAMook worthy to die]]." Yet, ordinary criminals [[HumansAreSpecial are not to be killed]]. They are to only be subdued and left for the police. That is the code of battle honor the Turtles fight with, and is very similar to Franchise/{{Batman}}'s.
*** The problem Leonardo has with the "Night Watcher" is because the news has led him to believe that this vigilante actually kills the criminals, making this an '''in-universe''' example of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer. Those who know the {{backstory}} will know that the Turtles once believed this about Casey, before befriending him. They know of Splinter's code of honor, similar in some ways to Bushido, and they don't trust vigilantes who are not trained in any known code of honor. Not that this matters to [=MovieGuide=], which believes that "bushido" is just a buzzword for "[[EveryoneIsSatanInHell a lie from Satan designed to drag you to Hell]]."
** The movie goes to great lengths to explain that without a strong family dynamic, one may never feel at home anywhere, even if they do get everything they originally thought they wanted. '''Since when''' does this [[AnAesop Aesop]] constitute a "Romantic Pagan" view?
* A November 2009 issue of the Seattle Times had a picture of Simon from ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' labeled as Theodore in the picture for an article promoting the new December movies. This was especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} because the person who wrote the article was apparently a fan of the movies.
** While this is a perfect example of the trope, it should be mentioned that writers do not, in most journalism, have anything to do with the pictures or the captions thereof. So if a picture is mislabelled, that's on the editor, not the writer.

* When ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' came to theaters in Spain, a small weekly publication that was given free along with one of the Spanish people's most relevant newspapers included several incorrect statements about the original saga. It said that "... Darth Maul, so fully evil, he kills Qui Gonn (played by Liam Neeson) when he's sleeping".

* The Rotten Tomatoes website and a few movie theatres that gave away free film pamphlets, made this summary of ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'': "Hiccup goes on a mission to pass their village's initiation into manhood by capturing and training a dragon. If he succeeds, he will become a warrior. If he fails, he will be forever banished". This would techically be true had the film been more faithful to Cressida Cowel's book, but so much liberties were taken to change the plot that instead of a boy going through a rite of passage capturing and training dragons, it's a teenager whose village is dedicated to killing dragons befriending an injured dragon and finding that everything he and his village knows about them to be wrong.
** An advertisement for toy dragons based on [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2 the second movie]] showed and described someone making toy Toothless fight the [[{{Kaiju}} Bewilderbeast]] toy...specifically, the white one that was actually ''[[GentleGiant good]]'' in the movie [[spoiler: and not the black one that was under the BigBad's control]].

* [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120509211245/http://cinemovie.tv/cinemovie_new/component/content/article/55-interviews/1280-guillermo-del-toro-interview-pinocchio-dreamworks This article]] about Guillermo Del Toro joining Creator/DreamWorksAnimation claims that the studio's 2012 movie ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' is a sequel to Zack Snyder's ''[[WesternAnimation/LegendOfTheGuardiansTheOwlsOfGaHoole Legend of the Guardians]]''. You know, that owl movie made by ''WARNER BROTHERS''.
** In mid 2012, when lemurs are considered to be threatened even more, this [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120721213708/http://www.france24.com/en/20120714-lemurs-worlds-most-threatened-mammal-study AFP article]] believes that Creator/{{Disney}} [[AllAnimationIsDisney made the film]] WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}.

* 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."

* When ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime IX'' was first released, there was [[http://www.amazon.com/review/R541BWG3VM38C/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm a very bizarre review on amazon.com]], talking about the film's predecessor, ''Time of Much Snow''. There has never been a ''Land Before Time'' film by that name (although the previous movie, while using the title ''The Big Freeze'', did feature a snowstorm as a major plot point, so it is possible that English was not this person's first language). Also, even more strange, is when the reviewer talks about the reincarnation of Littlefoot's grandmother. Considering his grandmother never died, one must wonder what this person was smoking.
* Whoever wrote the official website for ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' probably never watched any of the movies. They describe Tanya as "always getting her brother into some kind of trouble" (which he does just fine on his own), and when they describe Tony Toponi they imply that he's in love with Tanya, which of course is never even hinted at in the movies. Now granted, the site was probably created with the idea that the ViewersAreMorons, which is also sadly reflected in Universal's more recent DVD releases of the movies.
* 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...
* The book ''Creator/{{Disney}} Dossiers: Files of Characters From the Walt Disney Studios'' is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons chock-full of glaring omissions]] and mistakes. For example, Disney/{{Aladdin}}'s fact sheet says "Parents: None (orphan)", completely neglecting the fact that him finding out his father was alive was '''the main friggin' plot of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'''''[[note]]which the book also claims came out a year earlier than it actually did[[/note]]. [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco's]] profile also seems to negate the existence of [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool Malina]] by saying that Kuzco has no "significant other", even though it ''does'' sound like something Kuzco would say about himself[[note]]The book was released in 2006 and Malina wouldn't become official with Kuzco until the finale in 2008, so they're technically right[[/note]]. Also, for some reason, DonaldDuck's filmography highlights includes the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' movie (which he wasn't even mentioned in), Timon's last name (Berkowitz) and Scar's birth name (Taka) are forgotten, and some of the voice actors for the characters are glaringly omitted (''e.g.'', Cam Clarke for [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]], April Winchell for [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]]).
** Granted Clarke and Winchell voiced the characters in two mostly forgotten tv series spin-offs.
** Plenty of mistakes are abound in the ''Disney Song Encyclopedia'' as well. The description for the ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'' theme claims that the show is "about the colorful Kit Cloudkicker, who flies his plane through various adventures in the tropics." Um, hello? Baloo was the pilot; Kit was his navigator. The book also claims that ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'' retained its theme song from the original Nickelodeon series, but anyone who has seen both versions of the show can tell you that the theme songs sound nothing alike.
** Another Disney book mistake: In ''Disney: The First 100 Years'', a picture from the opening scene of ''Disney/TheLionKing'' is given this caption: "Rafiki holds baby Simba while Mufasa and '''Nala''' smile proudly." Simba's mother is named Sarabi; Nala was Simba's love interest.
** An [[http://smokescreeners.org/downloads/animated_smoking.pdf article]] on depictions of tobacco and alcohol use in movies for children identifies [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Lampwick]] as [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Lamp]]''[[SpellMyNameWithAnS wit]]''.
** ''The Encyclopedia of Disney Characters'' written by John Grant, is a well researched book but does have one notable error; the article on ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' lists Abis Mal as "Abi Smal." Ordinarily, this would be just a normal typo, except the article on the WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} TV series not only spells his name correctly, but both names are listed in the index, as if they were two separate characters.
* Movie critic Eleanor Ringel claimed in her review of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry, The Movie'' that the Tom and Jerry series won fifteen Academy Awards for Outstanding Animated Short Subjects. They were ''nominated'' fifteen times and won seven Academy Awards.

** In [[http://www.cracked.com/funny-2864-5-endangered-species-that-should-be-put-down/ this article]], the author claims that an angler fish almost ate Nemo in the movie ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo.'' However, it was ''Marlin,'' not Nemo, who faced the angler fish.

** The writer of [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-disney-kids-who-should-have-been-traumatized-life/ this article]] must not have watched ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', because, well, he seems to think Elsa was locked away and completely isolated from human contact from birth, saying "Being without human contact until the age of 21, she should have been making grunting noises and building human-shaped statues out of her own poop." That isn't even remotely true, because Elsa wasn't without human contact until she was 21. She wasn't isolated from Anna until she was eight years old, and that early childhood had a lot of social interaction. And she was not totally deprived of human contact, as she is seen speaking with her parents, with Anna, and presumably talked with a few trusted servants. Her isolation was more like self-imposed solitary confinement. That's not saying she wouldn't have had psychological problems (the movie makes clear Elsa is mentally damaged by hurting Anna), but she wouldn't have been a feral child.
** According to "[[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-childhood-favorites-that-did-not-age-well/ 5 Childhood Favorites That Did Not Age Well]]" by Erik Germ, "You might not have realized this while you were caught in the throes of sharing "WHAT 90S' DISNEY PRINCE ARE YOU?", but Disney hasn't had a hand-animated film since 2009's ''Disney/{{The Princess And The Frog}}''." Actually, Disney ''did'' produce one more non-CGI film: 2011's ''Disney/WinnieThePooh''.

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

* A lot of the news stories about the Creator/BlueSkyStudios ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' film, ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'', either implied or claimed outright that it would be the first time the ''Peanuts'' characters would appear on the big screen. There were 4 animated ''Peanuts'' films made between 1969 and 1980.

* Some articles about ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie'' assert that the "a bunch of others we don't need to mention" joke, during which images from various canceled or somewhat controversial ''Franchise/{{LEGO}}'' lines [[{{Blipvert}} flash on screen]], was a show of SelfDeprecation on LEGO's part, and that the lines in question (for example ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'', ''Toys/{{Fabuland}}'' and ''Toys/LEGOFriends'') were some of their biggest failures. While it is true that the LEGO fandom is [[BrokenBase seriously divided]] over these lines and some of them have attracted quite a furious {{Hatedom}}, most of them were ''far'' from failures. ''Fabuland'' and ''BIONICLE'' have devoted followings despite the former having been canceled since the '80s, and the latter was one of the company's most successful and top-selling non-licensed properties (not to mention a LongRunner among the action-oriented themes, returning in 2015 for another planned three years), having played a huge part in saving LEGO from going out of business during the early 2000s -- the exact opposite of a failure. The joke was really either the creators poking fun at them or [[spoiler: a reference to how Finn can't play with them since he might not own any of the toys]].

* [[https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/jimmy-neutron-boy-genius The Common Sense Media article]] for WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius claims that one of Jimmy's friends is "Shane (a passionate fan of some action heroes called Ultra Lords)". First of all, the character's name is Sheen. Second, Ultra Lord is one character. A case could be made for the latter referring to the action figures instead of any characters, but even so...

* Many people are confused as to what animals Bing Bong from ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'' is supposed to be a combination of. For example, [[http://ttpm.com/p/14512/the-disney-store/inside-out-bing-bong-stuffed-animal/ Time To Play Magazine's]] review of a stuffed animal of his says he is part dog due to his ears looking like those of a dog. Other people claim he is part cow and/or horse, due to his line "You gotta remember when Riley was three, animals were all the rage. The cow goes moo, the horse goes neigh. That's all people talked about." He's actually part cat, elephant and dolphin, but is mostly made of cotton candy. However, according to "The Art Of Inside Out", Bing Bong was originally supposed to be part dog, which explains the ears.
** One review of the movie claimed that [[spoiler: the collapse of Goofball Island]] led to [[spoiler: the Train of Thought's derailment.]] It's actually [[spoiler: Honesty Island's collapse]] that leads to this event. The reviewer might have been confused due to both scenes involving characters [[spoiler: trying to escape from the catastrophic scene that's unfolding]].
** One CartoonBrew article called Bing Bong a girl in reference to the scene where he stubs his toe. This could be because he is pink and likes girly things like princesses and ponies.

* 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 notorous 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.
* The ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'' tie-in book "Fish Talk" claims that Hank turned pink when [[spoiler: inking himself in the touch pond]]. He didn't change color at all during this incident.

* A common error is to conflate Disney with Pixar. They are not at all the same; although Pixar is owned by Disney, they are an autonomous company within Disney, not a division thereof. This is particularly bad in the Website/YouTube video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSQNZ_Nblrs Pixar Trivia]], supposedly a compilation of "music clips from Pixar movies" -- but one of them was from ''Planes'', which although set in the ''{{WesternAnimation/Cars}}'' universe, was made by Disney, not Pixar.[[note]]And in any case, a lot of them are actually from trailers, and weren't used in the movie.[[/note]] Even worse, many of the more ignorant commenters complained of the "absence" of ''Disney/TheLionKing'' -- which is nothing remotely to do with Pixar.
* To this day, some people insist that the [[RunningGag Pizza Planet Truck]] appears in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' -- thereby asserting that they know better than Lee Unkrich and Brad Bird (a senior Pixar staffer, and the Pixar staffer who ''actually directed the movie'').

* 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 daughters and the person who actually owns said unicorn, not Gru.

* Elsa from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' is often referred to as "Princess Elsa", especially in Brazil, even though her coronation and status as ''queen'' of Arendelle are major plot points. Even then, it's not as bad as when she's called "[[IAmNotShazam Princess Frozen]]"...
** A review of the film in a French newspaper managed to get the names of the sisters wrong, presenting Anna as having uncontrollable ice powers and Elsa the plucky sister who punched princes in the face.

** ''The Encyclopedia of Disney Characters'' written by John Grant, is a well researched book but does have one notable error; the article on Disney/TheReturnOfJafar lists Abis Mal as "Abi Smal." Ordinarily, this would be just a normal typo, except the article on the WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} TV series not only spells his name correctly, but both names are listed in the index, as if they were two separate characters.

* The book ''Creator/{{Disney}} Dossiers: Files of Characters From the Walt Disney Studios'' is [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons chock-full of glaring omissions]] and mistakes. For example, Disney/{{Aladdin}}'s fact sheet says "Parents: None (orphan)", completely neglecting the fact that him finding out his father was alive was '''the main friggin' plot of ''Aladdin and the King of Thieves''''' (which the book also claims came out a year earlier than it actually did). [[Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove Kuzco's]] profile also seems to negate the existence of [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool Malina]] by saying that Kuzco has no "significant other" (even though it ''does'' sound like something Kuzco would say about himself). Also, for some reason, DonaldDuck's filmography highlights includes the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' movie (which he wasn't even mentioned in), Timon's last name (Berkowitz) and Scar's birth name (Taka) are forgotten, and some of the voice actors for the characters are glaringly omitted (''e.g.'', Cam Clarke for [[Disney/TheLionKing Simba]], April Winchell for [[Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella de Vil]]).

* Box summaries of movies are great for this (see also the Anime examples). From the back of the DVD of ''A Christmas Story'': "(Ralphie) also endures all kinds of childhood calamaties from snowsuit paralysis to the yellow-eyed Scotty Farkus affair to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit." Ralphie's brother had the snowsuit paralysis (which was never called as such), his friend Flick did the flagpole (which was not a gambit), and the yellow-eyed bully was actually named Scut Farkus.

* A November 2009 issue of the Seattle Times had a picture of Simon from ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' labeled as Theodore in the picture for an article promoting the new December movies. This was especially {{egregious}} because the person who wrote the article was apparently a fan of the movies.

* One particularly scathing movie review for ''Film/SilentHill'' derided the film for being based on a video game series, but praised the movie's composer for at least writing a unique cinematic score instead of relying on the video game's "[[PacManFever beeps and whistles]]". The music in the movie, of course, was taken directly from the games. Coming at this from another angle, a newspaper blurb on the game ''SilentHillHomecoming'' described it as being based on the movie. There were in fact several [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] to the movie in ''Silent Hill: Homecoming'', so it's easy to see how they got confused. For example, The Boogeyman/Pyramid Head's design is based off his movie design, and the introduction of the Smog enemy looks almost identical to the introduction of the Armless Man in the movie.

* And here's a kicker: Ted Baehr's MovieGuide did its review of the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' film shortly after its release, and did an utterly atrocious job explaining the film's content factually. For starters:

** "Stories went nowhere..." In other words, nobody at MovieGuide had ever heard of the 2003 animated series? Or the original comics? The intro was a minimal effort to give newcomers [[AllThereInTheManual an insight into the film's world]], just in the bleak chance that someone going to see it [[SmallReferencePools had never been exposed to previous Turtles-related material]].

* [[http://animatedviews.com/2011/superman-the-motion-picture-anthology-blu-ray-collection/ This review]] of the ''Film/{{Superman}}'' Motion Picture Anthology Blu-Ray keeps crediting Bud Collyer as the lead of the 1940s serials and portrayer of Lois Lane's father in the extended version of the first movie. However, Bud Collyer voiced Superman in the radio series ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'', the WesternAnimation/SupermanTheatricalCartoons, and the animated TV series ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSuperman''. Additionally, he died nine years before the ''Superman'' motion picture anthology began. Kirk Alyn actually acted as the lead in the serials, and Lois' father in the first movie. The Blu-Ray bonus features state the differences between Collyer and Alyn more than once.
* 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."

* 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 daughters and the person who actually owns said unicorn, not Gru.
* A Billboard magazine article from 1998 claims that the 1996 version of ''Film/ShallWeDance'' is a Studio Ghibli film. (To be fair, most of the article is about Studio Ghibli, so it'd be easy for a writer not familiar with the material to get confused.)

* The New York Observer's Rex Reed is a repeat offender; not only did he inexplicably describe a scene in ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' in which "vampires circle the moon and suck the hot stud’s blood,” ([[http://www.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2012/04/12/how-i-lost-my-respect-for-rex-reed while also failing to make much of the]] PostModernism plot) he accused ''The Dark Knight'' of a ContinuitySnarl for introducing TheJoker as though he's making his debut despite the fact that he already appeared in the 1989 film, which is ''a separate continuity''.
