* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad'': There are numerous rumors about the film, largely due to its troubled production:
** The nature of cut villain P.T. Boomer. Originally he was only known from a MissingTrailerScene and brief mentions in a tie-in product. One rumor was that he would try to tear down Shining Time Station to build a highway, and some sources corrupted his name as "Pete Boom". A lot of these misconceptions were cleared up once the screenplay was found.
** Whether or not scenes from the script including George the steamroller and Cranky the crane were ever filmed.
** The existence of a finished "director's cut" from before the film was re-edited.
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/answers/comments/51170m/does_anybody_remember_that_thomas_the_tank_engine/ According to a Reddit user]], he said that he remembered seeing an earlier ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' film when he was a kid. He mentioned that the film was similar to ''Thomas and the Magic Railroad'' and had the Music/KylieMinogue version of the song "The Locomotion" at the end of the film. It is unknown if this film is true or not, but it did sound like he was telling the truth. If this film is true, then it might've fallen into obscurity and might've been easily forgotten. A possible theory to this might've been that either he was one of the test audiences that watched the director's cut of ''Thomas and the Magic Railroad'', or he saw a screening of the 1997 test footage that was edited into one whole film, and the original cut used the Minogue cover instead of the Atomic Kitten one that was used in the final product.
*** [[https://forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/901/reddit-remembered-earlier-thomas-film Another user from a reply]] saw the exact same film with his mother in theaters once, and was traumatized by it, which makes it seem like that the film the Reddit user was talking about was DarkerAndEdgier.
** There is a rumor that David Mitton (the director of the main ''Thomas and Friends'' show as well as the director of the Sodor scenes in the film) had his own pitch for a ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' film that was rejected in favor of ''Magic Railroad'', with the pitch allegedly being a crossover between ''Thomas the Tank Engine'' and its sister show ''Series/{{TUGS}}'' that was far closer to the original show. However, no evidence points to this rumor being real. This likely stems from the (genuine) fact that the characters from ''TUGS'' were planned to make a cameo in the film, until it was scrapped due to legal circumstances and a [[HostilityOnTheSet feud between Mitton and Allcroft]] (who allegedly hated ''TUGS'' at the time) over their usage.

* ''WesternAnimation/RatchetAndClank2016'': Something that consistently makes the rounds (and that was perpetuated multiple times on [[Website/TVTropes This Very Wiki]]) is the 'fact' that Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson was originally brought on to reprise his role as Chairman Drek, having recorded all of his dialogue for the film [[TheOtherMarty before ultimately being replaced]] by Creator/PaulGiamatti (being a bigger name and all). While hypothetically it would make sense that Rainmaker (the animation studio behind the movie) would have gotten him back seeing as they got [[Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor Ratchet]], [[Creator/DavidKaye Clank]], [[Creator/JimWard Captain Qwark]], and [[Creator/ArminShimerman Doctor Nefarious]]' voice actors all back to reprise their roles, there is no source that has said he was even considered for the role, let alone that he ''recorded'' for it. The only acknowledgement that Richardson got from the production staff is a [[https://twitter.com/RatchetMovie/status/439957342222692352 lone tweet]] from the film's official social media saying they're a fan of him (which is in no way confirmation he was actually involved). An additional piece of info that tends to get tacked onto this is that the studio accidentally sent Paul Giamatti's paycheck to Kevin Michael Richardson's address, which also has no record of having happened despite such a mistake being newsworthy, or at the very least worth mentioning by either actor. The origin of these claims can seemingly be traced back to a piece of trivia submitted to the film's [=IMDb=] page.

Moving this example that was on the Anime subpage

* Among Japanese Creator/StudioGhibli fans, a popular rumor exists purporting that a supposed alternate ending to ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' was once broadcast during one of the film's annual airings on Japanese TV; the rumor started from a number of low-quality screenshots posted online in 2007, all of which contained shots not seen in the final film and some of which include credits superimposed onto them. While Ghibli themselves debunked the claim that an alternate ending exists, a number of fans are still trying to prove that it exists by hunting down TV airings without any publicly available home recordings, with one even offering ¥50,000 to anyone who can find footage of the alleged alternate ending alone and ¥70,000 to anyone who can find a full recording of a broadcast containing the ending, with commercial breaks intact.

Unburying the topic wick on the Ratchet and Clank entry and adding creator wicks. Also doing some minor touch-ups to make the entry a bit more concise.
