* ''Anime/BuddyDaddies'' has been decried as a knockoff of ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' due to its premise about a pair of assassins having to adopt and raise a young girl, as well as certain similarities in the designs of analogous characters: Kazuki to Loid, Rei to Yor, and Miri to Anya.

* Creator/DreamWorksAnimation was commonly seen this way early on in its history; the worst offenders were ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', respectively seen as copies of Disney/Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' and ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' (it didn't help that [[DuelingWorks the former examples came out in the same year]]). Comparisons between ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' and ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' (or ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''), ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant'' (the latter is a Warner Bros. film, of course), and even ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' and ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'' are also common.

This has shown some signs of coming back with ''WesternAnimation/RubyGillmanTeenageKraken'' being accused of being derivative of ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' (right down to the central family in the former film claiming to be [[CanadaEh Canadian]] whereas that of the latter actually are) and ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'' (given that they both star sea monsters who are disguised as humans).

* ''VideoGame/{{Foamstars}}'' saw its reveal trailer get hit with the universally observation that it was clearly an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to Creator/{{Nintendo}}'s ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' series. Almost shamefully so, as fans of the latter quickly poked fun at how [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgtvJ9QvZ78 all of the specials]] showcased in the trailer have direct counterparts in ''Splatoon''. While this sentiment would lessen somewhat once more details emerged and it became clear how ''Foamstars'' would differentiate itself -- with many also coming to like the idea of [[GenrePopularizer "Splatoon-likes" becoming a thing]] -- there are still plenty who dismiss it as being little more than a ripoff.

*''Manga/{{Lady}}'' is frequently called a ''Manga/CandyCandy'' ripoff.[[note]]
** ''Candy Candy'' is set in the US before the First World War. ''Lady!!'' is set in contemporary Britain during the 1920s.
** Lynn and Candy are kind-hearted girls that draw in people with their selflessness, no matter how much they suffer.
** Lynn and Candy both live ordinary lives, until one day, they're suddenly thrusted into wealthy families and have to adapt to a ProperLady lifestyle.
** Both Lynn and Candy have two HateSink step-siblings that frequently abuse them, play tricks on them and try to ruin their lives. They never get punished because they're protected by their WickedStepmother.
** Both have step-sisters with pink hair who are also {{Alpha Bitch}}es. Said stepsisters also like the same boy they like, and behave as {{Green Eyed Monster}}s towards them. Eliza also has a grey RightHandCat, while Mary has a white one named Prince.
** Lynn and Candy both fall for a handsome blonde man who rides a white horse, [[spoiler: but both times he was TheNotLoveInterest. Arthur Brighton already had feelings for Sarah, whereas Candy's first love Anthony died at a young age.]][[/note]] Even the author admits to being a huge fan of ''Manga/CandyCandy'' and stated it inspired her to write the manga.

* Some westerners deride ''Animation/NuPogodi'' for being a Soviet knockoff of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', due to following a similar chase formula. The creators of ''Nu, Pogodi!'' deny this, noting that none of them could see ''Tom & Jerry'' behind the Iron Curtain.

* It didn't take too long for ''{{VideoGame/Palworld}}'' to receive flak for its creatures being too similar to ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. Furthermore, a number of players and reviewers have criticized it for being too derivative of other open-world survival games or MonsSeries, creating a game that's soulless, uncoordinated, uninspired and lacking a proper identity in their eyes.
