Changed line(s) 1,51 (click to see context) from:
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', contrary to all the promotional material, Jack-Jack is never shown in the super suit designed by Edna Mode until literally the last fifteen seconds of the film.
* Almost all the promotional material for ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'' feature the main cast (Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven and Hans) standing together and smiling cheerfully, making it seem as though the movie is going to be about a team of plucky characters having a fun and magical winter adventure together. The film is actually consistently dark and melancholic, with several arguments amongst the characters; one of the six, Elsa, is depressed and acts out in increasingly desperate ways, making herself [[HeroAntagonist the antagonist]] for much of the movie, and another of the six is actually [[spoiler: an outright villain]].
* The cover of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInRockNRoyals'' depicted Erika as a black woman, when she in fact was white.
* Due to [[GirlShowGhetto the mediocre sales]] of ''WesternAnimation/WonderWoman'', the cover artist for the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'' was barred from showing ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in her iconic costume. Instead, an image of a BrainwashedAndCrazy Supergirl clad in a {{Stripperific}} slave outfit was used. The film's female director was ''not'' pleased.
* The [[http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m128/redXpiXieXblack/Watership%20Down/CopyofWatership_Down_Dutch.jpg child-friendly cover]] of the animated ''Literature/WatershipDown''. (The original cover showed a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/watership_down.jpg silhouetted rabbit]].)
* The video cover to ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'', which depicts Tom chasing Jerry as he usually does (which [[InNameOnly they barely actually do in the movie]]) with Droopy in the background and none of the movie's SpotlightStealingSquad anywhere in sight, looks like it could be the cover to '''any''' ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' video. Although the poster showed Aunt Figg storming in the background.
* The [[http://www.theneitherworld.com/hiaf/images/aftcover.jpg American DVD cover]] of ''WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish'' seems like it was designed to make the film look like a [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' or ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', when it's actually a decent, Creator/DonBluth-esque, [[ConspicuousCG mostly 2D]] film. Even weirder, the American cover flatly says "Creator/AlanRickman" above the title (the original cover said "Featuring the voices of Alan Rickman and Terry Jones"), making Rickman seem like the lead role. To make matters worse, Rickman's character isn't even ''shown'' on the U.S. cover.
* Similarly, the Chinese animated film ''Back to the Sea'' has a cover [[http://www.familyvideo.com/new_releases/2013/januaryimages/back_to_sea.jpg very reminiscent]] of ''Shark Tale'', yet the actual animation is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgimC3DlDqQ a jagged, stylistic, clearly 2-D]] style.
* [[https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/music-and-animation/beautyandthebeast/Assets/ma0041_enlarge.jpg This poster]] for [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]. It shows Belle in an outfit that she never wore in the film at all, the castle in the background looks absolutely nothing like the one in the film, and [[Main/EvilOverlooker the Beast's placement]] on the cover makes him look like the villain (he's actually the hero).
* The [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/3/32/HunchbackOfNotreDame_GoldCollection_DVD.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130504055924 Gold Collection cover]] for Disney's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' makes what is widely considered the darkest and most adult-oriented Disney film look like a much more lighthearted film than it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyS3weMlxLA actually is]].
** But that's nothing compared to [[http://www.pastposters.com/cw3/assets/product_full/R/hunchback-of-notre-dame-cinema-quad-movie-poster-(6).jpg this early movie poster]], which has the entire cast (arguably even ''Frollo'') ''dancing in a conga line''.
* The second [[Comicbook/TheBeano Beano]] video, ''Beano Videostars'', included Roger the Dodger on the original VHS cover, even though he's not on the actual video. Possibly because his checkered jersey made him too hard to animate.
* ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'': [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d6/Turtles_Forever_Poster.PNG the original poster]] has Tokka and Rahzar, who turn out to be {{Advertised Extra}}s.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', probably one of the bleakest kids' films ever made, was marketed in pretty much the same way as a very kid-friendly movie, with super-happy cover artwork full of bright colors and smiles. This goes so far that [[http://vhscollector.com/sites/default/files/vhscovers/box_combined/brave-little-toaster-vhs-0-28173.jpg the screencaps on the back of the VHS/DVD]] are ''not even from the film''. One of them shows the toaster ''high-fiving its master'', despite the fact that they are alive always being kept a secret, a la ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. The back cover also depicts a very serious scene with the title character inappropriately having a goofy smile on his face. Oddly enough, [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/872566676fa91dbd480614ac6f66681b/tumblr_inline_odvp5czptq1uta9bt_640.jpg the original poster]] shows three darker screencaps from the film.
** To top it all off, [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/917FuCv-ZGL._SL1500_.jpg the European cover]] shows the main five characters and the younger master skipping down a road, surrounded by twinkling stars.
* While the cardboard diorama packaged with the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has the eponymous cobbler sharing a MagicCarpet ride with the princess, the two of them never do so in the movie.
* On the DVD cover of ''WesternAnimation/ABoyNamedCharlieBrown'', Lucy clutches Charlie Brown's arm and stares up at him adoringly, but her tormenting of him is the whole point of the movie, and she isn't nice to him for a second. The Laserdisc cover made more sense, featuring the same image, but with Lucy having a thought bubble over her head showing a dressing room door with her name on it. Anyone who knows Lucy's character knows that she'd be willing to be nice to someone for the sake of fame & fortune.
* The DVD for ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' for some reason (possibly censorship) shows Princess Kida wearing a dress (her left arm is covered by a sleeve). In the actual movie, she wore an outfit that was very revealing throughout most of the film, and she only wore a dress at the end.
* The poster for ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica'' shows them riding motorcycles, which they don't even come close to doing in the movie.
* The cover for ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' shows Ro in her [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]] {{peacock| girl}} [[PimpedOutDress dress]], but [[LongHairIsFeminine her hair is long and loose]], and she is wearing a CoolCrown, when in the movie, her head is bare and her hair is up in an elaborate bun.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ChillOutScoobyDoo'', Velma, Daphne, and Freddy never snowboard once in the entire movie, only Scooby and Shaggy do that.
* The cover art of the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' movie ''[[Recap/TransformersPrimeTVMBeastHuntersPredaconsRising Predacons Rising]]'' depicts Optimus Prime facing off against Predaking. [[spoiler:The two never even meet in the movie]].
** The 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD cover to ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' does this intentionally to avoid the movie's [[ItWasHisSled most infamous spoiler]]. However, it came with an alternate cover depicting the '86 cast who actually play a significant role in the film.
* ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh and the Honey Tree'':
** Piglet and Tigger are shown on the poster, but they don't appear in the film (though Piglet has a cameo in the opening song). They also had designs that are ''much'' closer to the original book illustrations, and they ended up getting redesigned for their appearances in the next short ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day''.
** Some early VHS releases of this short showed Pooh completely inside the honey tree. This doesn't happen until the end of the short, but even then, he only goes in half-way.
* The notorious ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' has Mrs. Butterworth, the Vlasic stork, Twinkie the Kid, and Charlie Tuna front-and-center on its cover, and all of them are minor characters at best. The actual main character is depicted as a tiny figure in the lower left. Lampshaded in the WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review:
-->"Hey look! There's the Twinkie guy! [[SarcasmMode I'm sure]] he's gonna do something ''really'' big and ''really'' important coming up. After all, he ''is'' one of the biggest characters on the poster, along with these other icons you barely seen in this movie. Hell, Dex and Sunshine are one third of their size! Surely all of them are gonna get together and do something huge in the movie's climax! [[AdvertisedExtra Like...say nothing, pretty much do nothing]]....and take a backseat to graphics worse than the '[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag Money for Nothing]]' video. And...okay, a lot of you might be shouting "That's ''phenomenal'' false advertising in a movie that is absolutely nothing ''but'' advertising." But this is incredibly common in even ''good'' films. Heck, I once saw a Star Wars poster where the main focus was the mouse droid! ''[cut to the ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars Episode IV]]'' poster with a mouse droid front and center. The text below the Star Wars logo reads "Yes, THIS is the One with the Mouse Droid!"]'' And we all know what a gigantic part he played, right? The movie would've been nothing without him."
* [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGRudVLa3N8/TeWOlKMJ0TI/AAAAAAAAMaE/2zijMdLSeIY/s1600/87mcdonpost1.jpg The 50th Anniversary poster]] for ''[[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' for some reason has Snow White wearing a pink dress in place of the iconic yellow, blue and red outfit. While Snow White was meant to have a pink dress originally, this was changed in development.
* On [[https://collinwatchesmovies.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/tree.jpg the DVD cover]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheChristmasTree'', the tree depicted is not the eponymous Mrs. Hopewell, but a different one located indoors that the children never interact with. The VHS cover shows Mrs. Hopewell outside, but the children look pretty cute with soft facial features, unlike the Elmer Fudd-like faces the kids have in the film proper.
* On the VHS cover for ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', Baloo is seen grasping Kaa by the throat, despite the fact that the two characters never interact.
* The scene from the DVD cover of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightBeforeChristmas'' never happens in the film: Jeffrey doesn't meet Santa until the end and it's on the streets when he does.
* The [[https://dvdcover.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2018-01-16_5a5e3a51eacc1_BR-MyLittlePonyMovie-720x404.jpg back of the DVD and Blu-ray cover]] of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' describes a dark force threatening Ponyville, while in the actual film, the location is Canterlot being threatened by said force which is the Storm King's army.
* ''The Legend of Sarila'' is a Canadian film who was renamed ''Frozen Land'' in America. Its cover makes it look like a blatant [[TheMockbuster mockbuster]] of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', when in reality the films are completely unrelated besides both featuring snow and female protagonists.
* The back of the DVD cover of ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' features a picture of Stitch (in his red suit) messing with stoplights and one of Stitch scaring off the pilots of a plane, which come respectively from a deleted scene and the pre-9/11 version of the finale[[note]]The finale originally had Stitch and the others hijacking a Boeing 747 to chase Gantu's ship, but after 9/11 it was reworked to have them use the ship Jumba and Pleakley used to come to Earth[[/note]].
* ''Beyond Beyond'', a rather slow-moving Danish CGI movie with heavy themes of grief and death, is not an entirely kid-unfriendly movie, but one that could be hard to sit through for younger audiences. So having a cover like [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91AojkgVlCL._SL1500_.jpg this]], excising any of the film's darker elements, is very, very misleading.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}'' Miramax trilogy mostly has very mild cases:
** The titular artifact on the ''Mask of Light'' movie's poster differs from how it appears in the film. It looks exactly like the real LEGO piece, whereas the film uses a heavily stylized, simplified design.
** The Coliseum is featured prominently in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' and ''Web of Shadows'', and both films' posters place it in their backgrounds. However, the Coliseum on the covers is from ''Bionicle'''s promotional CG artwork. In the actual movies, the building has a different design, most notably, it's missing the two huge triangular side-structures.
** ''Web of Shadows'' shows Vakama heroically leading his team while blasting a beam of fire from his tool. The film is actually about Vakama ''betraying'' his team and trying to kill them, while the others fight to bring him back to his senses. And his tool never shoots fire as spectacularly, it just emits a small heat blast.
* The two-disc special edition DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' makes it look like a cheerful light-hearted animated film, while it does have a few lighthearted comedic moments they're far and few between, the rest of the film is very dark, dramatic, and has several frightening scenes.
* ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'':
** The original poster and VHS cover shows Fievel walking down the gangplank off a ship with a suitcase, between the feet of two human immigrants. In the actual movie, Fievel falls overboard at sea and floats the rest of the way to shore in a bottle.
** The DVD cover shows Tanya as she appears in ''Fievel Goes West'', looking older and prettier with her hair in an uncovered ponytail, as opposed to her younger, babushka-wearing appearance in the original film.
* Some ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' movie or soundtrack covers show Miguel and Hector crossing the marigold bridge together, even though the latter can't cross it unless someone in the Land of the Living has his photo on their ofrenda. [[spoiler:His picture doesn't end up on one until ''after'' Miguel has left the Land of the Dead.]]
* The covers of the 2016 DVD rereleases of ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' and ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'' all depict the leading characters as if they were modern CGI animation, not the traditional 2D animation they are.
* The cover of ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' features video game characters such as Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]] and [[VideoGame/AlteredBeast Neff]] pretty prominently - in fact they're all cameos and have almost no screentime - Sonic features as Mister Exposition, Bison asks about Going Turbo and Neff doesn't actually have any lines at all.
* The [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMGY1NjdiMmItMmE5MS00NjllLWJmM2ItMmU1ZTRjMWYyZjc4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjA0MDQ0Mjc@._V1_.jpg theatrical poster]], [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qpzwbwSLb5w/maxresdefault.jpg VHS]], ''and'' [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61uTPhOCSPL._SY445_.jpg DVD]] covers for ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' all feature Scrooge [=McDuck=] wearing an ''Franchise/IndianaJones''-style fedora, and while he does have a few other hats in addition to his usual top hat, he never wears a fedora once in the entire film.
* In the holiday movie ''Pixi Post & the Gift Bringers'', the titular character wears [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6287174/mediaviewer/rm960898816 a skirted orange jumpsuit with dark brown gloves and boots]]. The DVD cover and Creator/{{Hulu}} banner for the English dub ''Pixi Saves Christmas'' shows her wearing [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9252486/mediaviewer/rm784822528 a more Christmas-themed green jumpsuit with black gloves and boots and candy cane-style sleeves and leggings]], but she wears no such outfit in the movie proper.
* The poster for ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' gives virtually no clue as to the content of the movie. It features several of the characters together on a {{cool car}} from TheFifties (the license plate even says COOL, so you know it's a {{cool car}}), and... that's about it. Most of the film's major players don't appear at all, and two of the characters shown in the grouping haven't even been ''born'' at the time of the film's main story; they only appear in the {{framing device}}.
----
* Almost all the promotional material for ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'' feature the main cast (Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven and Hans) standing together and smiling cheerfully, making it seem as though the movie is going to be about a team of plucky characters having a fun and magical winter adventure together. The film is actually consistently dark and melancholic, with several arguments amongst the characters; one of the six, Elsa, is depressed and acts out in increasingly desperate ways, making herself [[HeroAntagonist the antagonist]] for much of the movie, and another of the six is actually [[spoiler: an outright villain]].
* The cover of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInRockNRoyals'' depicted Erika as a black woman, when she in fact was white.
* Due to [[GirlShowGhetto the mediocre sales]] of ''WesternAnimation/WonderWoman'', the cover artist for the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'' was barred from showing ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in her iconic costume.

* Some ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' movie or soundtrack covers show Miguel and Hector crossing the marigold bridge together, even though the latter can't cross it unless someone in the Land of the Living has his photo on their ofrenda. [[spoiler:His picture doesn't end up on one until ''after'' Miguel has left the Land of the Dead.]]
* The covers of the 2016 DVD rereleases of ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' and ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'' all depict the leading characters as if they were modern CGI animation, not the traditional 2D animation they are.
* The cover of ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' features video game characters such as Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]] and [[VideoGame/AlteredBeast Neff]] pretty prominently - in fact they're all cameos and have almost no screentime - Sonic features as Mister Exposition, Bison asks about Going Turbo and Neff doesn't actually have any lines at all.
* The [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMGY1NjdiMmItMmE5MS00NjllLWJmM2ItMmU1ZTRjMWYyZjc4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjA0MDQ0Mjc@._V1_.jpg theatrical poster]], [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qpzwbwSLb5w/maxresdefault.jpg VHS]], ''and'' [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61uTPhOCSPL._SY445_.jpg DVD]] covers for ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' all feature Scrooge [=McDuck=] wearing an ''Franchise/IndianaJones''-style fedora, and while he does have a few other hats in addition to his usual top hat, he never wears a fedora once in the entire film.
* In the holiday movie ''Pixi Post & the Gift Bringers'', the titular character wears [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6287174/mediaviewer/rm960898816 a skirted orange jumpsuit with dark brown gloves and boots]]. The DVD cover and Creator/{{Hulu}} banner for the English dub ''Pixi Saves Christmas'' shows her wearing [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9252486/mediaviewer/rm784822528 a more Christmas-themed green jumpsuit with black gloves and boots and candy cane-style sleeves and leggings]], but she wears no such outfit in the movie proper.
* The poster for ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' gives virtually no clue as to the content of the movie. It features several of the characters together on a {{cool car}} from TheFifties (the license plate even says COOL, so you know it's a {{cool car}}), and... that's about it. Most of the film's major players don't appear at all, and two of the characters shown in the grouping haven't even been ''born'' at the time of the film's main story; they only appear in the {{framing device}}.
----
to:
* Almost all the promotional material for ''{{Disney/Frozen}}'' feature the main cast (Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Sven and Hans) standing together and smiling cheerfully, making it seem as though the movie is going to be about a team of plucky characters having a fun and magical winter adventure together. The film is actually consistently dark and melancholic, with several arguments amongst the characters; one of the six, Elsa, is depressed and acts out in increasingly desperate ways, making herself [[HeroAntagonist the antagonist]] for much of the movie, and another of the six is actually [[spoiler: an outright villain]].
* The cover of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInRockNRoyals'' depicted Erika as a black woman, when she in fact was white.
* Due to [[GirlShowGhetto the mediocre sales]] of ''WesternAnimation/WonderWoman'', the cover artist for the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'' was barred from showing ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in her iconic costume. Instead, an image of a BrainwashedAndCrazy Supergirl clad in a {{Stripperific}} slave outfit was used. The film's female director was ''not'' pleased.
* The [[http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m128/redXpiXieXblack/Watership%20Down/CopyofWatership_Down_Dutch.jpg child-friendly cover]] of the animated ''Literature/WatershipDown''. (The original cover showed a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/watership_down.jpg silhouetted rabbit]].)
* The video cover to ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'', which depicts Tom chasing Jerry as he usually does (which [[InNameOnly they barely actually do in the movie]]) with Droopy in the background and none of the movie's SpotlightStealingSquad anywhere in sight, looks like it could be the cover to '''any''' ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' video. Although the poster showed Aunt Figg storming in the background.
* The [[http://www.theneitherworld.com/hiaf/images/aftcover.jpg American DVD cover]] of ''WesternAnimation/HelpImAFish'' seems like it was designed to make the film look like a [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' or ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', when it's actually a decent, Creator/DonBluth-esque, [[ConspicuousCG mostly 2D]] film. Even weirder, the American cover flatly says "Creator/AlanRickman" above the title (the original cover said "Featuring the voices of Alan Rickman and Terry Jones"), making Rickman seem like the lead role. To make matters worse, Rickman's character isn't even ''shown'' on the U.S. cover.
* Similarly, the Chinese animated film ''Back to the Sea'' has a cover [[http://www.familyvideo.com/new_releases/2013/januaryimages/back_to_sea.jpg very reminiscent]] of ''Shark Tale'', yet the actual animation is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgimC3DlDqQ a jagged, stylistic, clearly 2-D]] style.
* [[https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/music-and-animation/beautyandthebeast/Assets/ma0041_enlarge.jpg This poster]] for [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty and the Beast]]. It shows Belle in an outfit that she never wore in the film at all, the castle in the background looks absolutely nothing like the one in the film, and [[Main/EvilOverlooker the Beast's placement]] on the cover makes him look like the villain (he's actually the hero).
* The [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/3/32/HunchbackOfNotreDame_GoldCollection_DVD.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130504055924 Gold Collection cover]] for Disney's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' makes what is widely considered the darkest and most adult-oriented Disney film look like a much more lighthearted film than it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyS3weMlxLA actually is]].
** But that's nothing compared to [[http://www.pastposters.com/cw3/assets/product_full/R/hunchback-of-notre-dame-cinema-quad-movie-poster-(6).jpg this early movie poster]], which has the entire cast (arguably even ''Frollo'') ''dancing in a conga line''.
* The second [[Comicbook/TheBeano Beano]] video, ''Beano Videostars'', included Roger the Dodger on the original VHS cover, even though he's not on the actual video. Possibly because his checkered jersey made him too hard to animate.
* ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'': [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d6/Turtles_Forever_Poster.PNG the original poster]] has Tokka and Rahzar, who turn out to be {{Advertised Extra}}s.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', probably one of the bleakest kids' films ever made, was marketed in pretty much the same way as a very kid-friendly movie, with super-happy cover artwork full of bright colors and smiles. This goes so far that [[http://vhscollector.com/sites/default/files/vhscovers/box_combined/brave-little-toaster-vhs-0-28173.jpg the screencaps on the back of the VHS/DVD]] are ''not even from the film''. One of them shows the toaster ''high-fiving its master'', despite the fact that they are alive always being kept a secret, a la ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. The back cover also depicts a very serious scene with the title character inappropriately having a goofy smile on his face. Oddly enough, [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/872566676fa91dbd480614ac6f66681b/tumblr_inline_odvp5czptq1uta9bt_640.jpg the original poster]] shows three darker screencaps from the film.
** To top it all off, [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/917FuCv-ZGL._SL1500_.jpg the European cover]] shows the main five characters and the younger master skipping down a road, surrounded by twinkling stars.
* While the cardboard diorama packaged with the DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' has the eponymous cobbler sharing a MagicCarpet ride with the princess, the two of them never do so in the movie.
* On the DVD cover of ''WesternAnimation/ABoyNamedCharlieBrown'', Lucy clutches Charlie Brown's arm and stares up at him adoringly, but her tormenting of him is the whole point of the movie, and she isn't nice to him for a second. The Laserdisc cover made more sense, featuring the same image, but with Lucy having a thought bubble over her head showing a dressing room door with her name on it. Anyone who knows Lucy's character knows that she'd be willing to be nice to someone for the sake of fame & fortune.
* The DVD for ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' for some reason (possibly censorship) shows Princess Kida wearing a dress (her left arm is covered by a sleeve). In the actual movie, she wore an outfit that was very revealing throughout most of the film, and she only wore a dress at the end.
* The poster for ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica'' shows them riding motorcycles, which they don't even come close to doing in the movie.
* The cover for ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsTheIslandPrincess'' shows Ro in her [[TrueBlueFemininity blue]] {{peacock| girl}} [[PimpedOutDress dress]], but [[LongHairIsFeminine her hair is long and loose]], and she is wearing a CoolCrown, when in the movie, her head is bare and her hair is up in an elaborate bun.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ChillOutScoobyDoo'', Velma, Daphne, and Freddy never snowboard once in the entire movie, only Scooby and Shaggy do that.
* The cover art of the ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' movie ''[[Recap/TransformersPrimeTVMBeastHuntersPredaconsRising Predacons Rising]]'' depicts Optimus Prime facing off against Predaking. [[spoiler:The two never even meet in the movie]].
** The 20th Anniversary Special Edition DVD cover to ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie'' does this intentionally to avoid the movie's [[ItWasHisSled most infamous spoiler]]. However, it came with an alternate cover depicting the '86 cast who actually play a significant role in the film.
* ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh and the Honey Tree'':
** Piglet and Tigger are shown on the poster, but they don't appear in the film (though Piglet has a cameo in the opening song). They also had designs that are ''much'' closer to the original book illustrations, and they ended up getting redesigned for their appearances in the next short ''Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day''.
** Some early VHS releases of this short showed Pooh completely inside the honey tree. This doesn't happen until the end of the short, but even then, he only goes in half-way.
* The notorious ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}'' has Mrs. Butterworth, the Vlasic stork, Twinkie the Kid, and Charlie Tuna front-and-center on its cover, and all of them are minor characters at best. The actual main character is depicted as a tiny figure in the lower left. Lampshaded in the WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic review:
-->"Hey look! There's the Twinkie guy! [[SarcasmMode I'm sure]] he's gonna do something ''really'' big and ''really'' important coming up. After all, he ''is'' one of the biggest characters on the poster, along with these other icons you barely seen in this movie. Hell, Dex and Sunshine are one third of their size! Surely all of them are gonna get together and do something huge in the movie's climax! [[AdvertisedExtra Like...say nothing, pretty much do nothing]]....and take a backseat to graphics worse than the '[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag Money for Nothing]]' video. And...okay, a lot of you might be shouting "That's ''phenomenal'' false advertising in a movie that is absolutely nothing ''but'' advertising." But this is incredibly common in even ''good'' films. Heck, I once saw a Star Wars poster where the main focus was the mouse droid! ''[cut to the ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars Episode IV]]'' poster with a mouse droid front and center. The text below the Star Wars logo reads "Yes, THIS is the One with the Mouse Droid!"]'' And we all know what a gigantic part he played, right? The movie would've been nothing without him."
* [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGRudVLa3N8/TeWOlKMJ0TI/AAAAAAAAMaE/2zijMdLSeIY/s1600/87mcdonpost1.jpg The 50th Anniversary poster]] for ''[[Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' for some reason has Snow White wearing a pink dress in place of the iconic yellow, blue and red outfit. While Snow White was meant to have a pink dress originally, this was changed in development.
* On [[https://collinwatchesmovies.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/tree.jpg the DVD cover]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheChristmasTree'', the tree depicted is not the eponymous Mrs. Hopewell, but a different one located indoors that the children never interact with. The VHS cover shows Mrs. Hopewell outside, but the children look pretty cute with soft facial features, unlike the Elmer Fudd-like faces the kids have in the film proper.
* On the VHS cover for ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', Baloo is seen grasping Kaa by the throat, despite the fact that the two characters never interact.
* The scene from the DVD cover of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightBeforeChristmas'' never happens in the film: Jeffrey doesn't meet Santa until the end and it's on the streets when he does.
* The [[https://dvdcover.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2018-01-16_5a5e3a51eacc1_BR-MyLittlePonyMovie-720x404.jpg back of the DVD and Blu-ray cover]] of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie2017'' describes a dark force threatening Ponyville, while in the actual film, the location is Canterlot being threatened by said force which is the Storm King's army.
* ''The Legend of Sarila'' is a Canadian film who was renamed ''Frozen Land'' in America. Its cover makes it look like a blatant [[TheMockbuster mockbuster]] of ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', when in reality the films are completely unrelated besides both featuring snow and female protagonists.
* The back of the DVD cover of ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' features a picture of Stitch (in his red suit) messing with stoplights and one of Stitch scaring off the pilots of a plane, which come respectively from a deleted scene and the pre-9/11 version of the finale[[note]]The finale originally had Stitch and the others hijacking a Boeing 747 to chase Gantu's ship, but after 9/11 it was reworked to have them use the ship Jumba and Pleakley used to come to Earth[[/note]].
* ''Beyond Beyond'', a rather slow-moving Danish CGI movie with heavy themes of grief and death, is not an entirely kid-unfriendly movie, but one that could be hard to sit through for younger audiences. So having a cover like [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91AojkgVlCL._SL1500_.jpg this]], excising any of the film's darker elements, is very, very misleading.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}'' Miramax trilogy mostly has very mild cases:
** The titular artifact on the ''Mask of Light'' movie's poster differs from how it appears in the film. It looks exactly like the real LEGO piece, whereas the film uses a heavily stylized, simplified design.
** The Coliseum is featured prominently in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' and ''Web of Shadows'', and both films' posters place it in their backgrounds. However, the Coliseum on the covers is from ''Bionicle'''s promotional CG artwork. In the actual movies, the building has a different design, most notably, it's missing the two huge triangular side-structures.
** ''Web of Shadows'' shows Vakama heroically leading his team while blasting a beam of fire from his tool. The film is actually about Vakama ''betraying'' his team and trying to kill them, while the others fight to bring him back to his senses. And his tool never shoots fire as spectacularly, it just emits a small heat blast.
* The two-disc special edition DVD of ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' makes it look like a cheerful light-hearted animated film, while it does have a few lighthearted comedic moments they're far and few between, the rest of the film is very dark, dramatic, and has several frightening scenes.
* ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'':
** The original poster and VHS cover shows Fievel walking down the gangplank off a ship with a suitcase, between the feet of two human immigrants. In the actual movie, Fievel falls overboard at sea and floats the rest of the way to shore in a bottle.
** The DVD cover shows Tanya as she appears in ''Fievel Goes West'', looking older and prettier with her hair in an uncovered ponytail, as opposed to her younger, babushka-wearing appearance in the original film.
* Some ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' movie or soundtrack covers show Miguel and Hector crossing the marigold bridge together, even though the latter can't cross it unless someone in the Land of the Living has his photo on their ofrenda. [[spoiler:His picture doesn't end up on one until ''after'' Miguel has left the Land of the Dead.]]
* The covers of the 2016 DVD rereleases of ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Thumbelina|1994}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' and ''WesternAnimation/ATrollInCentralPark'' all depict the leading characters as if they were modern CGI animation, not the traditional 2D animation they are.
* The cover of ''Disney/WreckItRalph'' features video game characters such as Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]] and [[VideoGame/AlteredBeast Neff]] pretty prominently - in fact they're all cameos and have almost no screentime - Sonic features as Mister Exposition, Bison asks about Going Turbo and Neff doesn't actually have any lines at all.
* The [[https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMGY1NjdiMmItMmE5MS00NjllLWJmM2ItMmU1ZTRjMWYyZjc4XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjA0MDQ0Mjc@._V1_.jpg theatrical poster]], [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qpzwbwSLb5w/maxresdefault.jpg VHS]], ''and'' [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61uTPhOCSPL._SY445_.jpg DVD]] covers for ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' all feature Scrooge [=McDuck=] wearing an ''Franchise/IndianaJones''-style fedora, and while he does have a few other hats in addition to his usual top hat, he never wears a fedora once in the entire film.
* In the holiday movie ''Pixi Post & the Gift Bringers'', the titular character wears [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6287174/mediaviewer/rm960898816 a skirted orange jumpsuit with dark brown gloves and boots]]. The DVD cover and Creator/{{Hulu}} banner for the English dub ''Pixi Saves Christmas'' shows her wearing [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9252486/mediaviewer/rm784822528 a more Christmas-themed green jumpsuit with black gloves and boots and candy cane-style sleeves and leggings]], but she wears no such outfit in the movie proper.
* The poster for ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppiesAndTheLegendOfBigPaw'' gives virtually no clue as to the content of the movie. It features several of the characters together on a {{cool car}} from TheFifties (the license plate even says COOL, so you know it's a {{cool car}}), and... that's about it. Most of the film's major players don't appear at all, and two of the characters shown in the grouping haven't even been ''born'' at the time of the film's main story; they only appear in the {{framing device}}.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', probably one of the bleakest kids' films ever made, was marketed in pretty much the same way as a very kid-friendly movie, with super-happy cover artwork full of bright colors and smiles. This goes so far that the screencaps on the back of the VHS/DVD are ''not even from the film''. One of them shows the toaster high-fiving its master, despite the fact that they are alive always being kept a secret, a la ''Toy Story''. The back cover also depicts a very serious scene with the title character inappropriately having a goofy smile on his face. Oddly enough, the original poster shows three darker screencaps from the film.
