* StillbornFranchise: Much like its fellow [=DreamWorks=] movie, ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', ''Monsters vs. Aliens'' did well in its home country of America, but its poor overseas intake led to a sequel being scrapped. However, it did result in a [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens2013 short-lived TV series]] a few years later.
