3!!General
4* A common error is to [[AllAnimationIsDisney 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 is from ''Planes''. While ''Planes'' is a spinoff of the Pixar franchise ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'', it was made by Disney.[[note]]In any case, a lot of the clips used are actually from trailers, and weren't used in the movies themselves.[[/note]]
5* Website/{{Cracked}}:
6** In [[http://www.cracked.com/funny-2864-5-endangered-species-that-should-be-put-down/ "5 Endangered Species That Should Be Put Down"]], 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.
7** The writer of [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-disney-kids-who-should-have-been-traumatized-life/ "4 Disney Kids Who Should Have Been Traumatized for Life"]] must not have watched ''WesternAnimation/{{Frozen|2013}}'', because, well, he seems to think Elsa was locked away and completely isolated from human contact from birth: "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." Elsa wasn't without human contact until she was 21; she didn't self-isolate until she was eight years old, and had a lot of social interaction in her early childhood. And she wasn't totally deprived of human contact either, as she is seen speaking with her parents and Anna, and presumably talked with a few trusted servants off-screen. That's not saying she wouldn't have had psychological problems (the movie makes it very clear that Elsa is not a happy or healthy person), but she wouldn't have been a feral child.
8** 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 ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog''." Actually, Disney ''did'' produce one more traditionally animated film: 2011's ''WesternAnimation/{{Winnie the Pooh|2011}}''.
9* 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:
10** WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'s fact sheet says "Parents: None (orphan)", completely neglecting the fact that him finding out his father is alive is '''the main plot of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'''''[[note]]which the book also claims came out a year earlier than it actually did[[/note]].
11** WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck's filmography highlights are listed as including ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'' (which he isn't even mentioned in).
12** Timon's last name (Berkowitz) isn't mentioned.
13** Some of the voice actors for the characters are glaringly omitted, e.g. Cam Clarke for [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Simba]] and April Winchell for [[WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians Cruella De Vil]].
14* When an ice sculpture company developed a Disney themed exhibit for [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland Paris]] featuring the Disney Princesses and their matching Princes, they ended up stumbling upon FanFic/RiseOfTheBraveTangledDragons CrossoverShip fanart of [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Merida]] and [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon Hiccup]] and turned it into [[https://lifelongdisneyfan.tumblr.com/post/68578498293/ive-seen-many-disney-crossovers-before-and one of the ice sculptures]], not knowing that Merida ended her movie single, or that Hiccup was from Creator/DreamWorksSKG and not Disney (or Pixar, as the case may be).
15* Netflix has been inaccurate on the info of two of the movies in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon: ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' and ''WesternAnimation/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'''.

17!!Specific
18* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'':
19** The [[https://disneyinsideblog.wordpress.com/tag/brad-kane/ Disney Inside Blog]] falsely states that the Genie's NonSingingVoice in ''Aladdin'' was Bruce Adler. Creator/RobinWilliams actually did his own singing as the Genie. Bruce Adler filled in for Williams in his other role, the Peddler.
20** John Grant's ''The Encyclopedia of Disney Characters'' is a well-researched book, but does have one notable error; the article on ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' misspells Abis Mal as "Abi Smal." Ordinarily, this would be just a normal typo, except the article on the ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' not only spells his name correctly, but both names are listed in the index, as if they were two separate characters.
21** During ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'''s initial release, a package of Trix yogurt offered quiz questions about [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} the first film]]. One question asked to list off all three of Jafar's wishes, but listed the answers as becoming sultan, then a sorcerer, "and, finally, a snake." Jafar uses his sorcerer powers to become the giant snake; his actual third wish is to become a genie himself.
22* The Facebook page for ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'' posted a photo captioned: "Happy #[=WolfWednesday=]! Could we interest you in this beautiful white wolf pup?" [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210408181937/http://cdn.attackofthecute.com/June-10-2012-08-05-32-3657009529e65126c316b.jpg The image they posted]] showed an arctic fox.
23* The ''official website'' of ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' describes Tanya as "always getting her brother into some kind of trouble" (which he does just fine on his own), and implies that Tony Toponi is in love with Tanya, which is never even hinted at in the movies.
24%%* [[https://preview.redd.it/3dxe10240lha1.png?width=850&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=7b679d89f83c5c87f67e6e0a45f6a7f7d759a1e7 The description]] for WesternAnimation/AquaTeenForeverPlantasm on Creator/HBOMax Poland is innacurate.
25* A book adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheTwelveDancingPrincesses'' mistakenly called Fallon "Finna", Janessa "Jocelyn", and Kathleen "Kate".
26* The official Hungarian description of ''Toys/{{Bionicle}} 3: Web of Shadows'' claimed that the villainous pair, Roodaka and Sidorak, are Makuta. While the name Makuta ''does'' refer to a whole race of beings, there is only one Makuta in the context of the movie, with Roodaka and Sidorak being his servants.
27* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'':
28** [=Zap2it's=] listing reads: "Thinking he has real superpowers, the canine star of a hit TV show travels cross-country from Hollywood to New York to rescue his owner and co-star." While accurate to the plot, it flips the origin and destination of Bolt's journey; he ''starts'' in New York after accidentally getting stuck in a mail delivery truck, and has to travel back to Hollywood from there.
29** DVD Verdict's review calls it the first computer animated movie in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, even though ''two'' CGI movies immediately preceded it, and Disney produced a [[WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}} CG/live-action hybrid]] even earlier. Becomes and even bigger fail due to the body of the review including a link to an article about Disney's ''actual'' first all-CGI movie, ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle''.
30** [[https://www.impulsegamer.com/bluraybolt.html Impulse Gamer]]'s review claims that Music/MileyCyrus was the voice of Mittens. Her voice was provided by Creator/SusieEssman, and the credits clearly state that Cyrus actually voiced Penny, a young girl who is the humanoid lead of Bolt's TV show.
31* One of the cards in the Disney version of ''TabletopGame/TrivialPursuit'' shows a picture of WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} losing her slipper shortly after marrying PrinceCharming, and asks what time it was when the scene occurred. The card says the scene occurred at midnight, even though Cinderella actually gets married at noon. Apparently, someone mistook this for a picture of the ball.
32* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'': At the time of release, there was an assumption on the part of some of the reviewing public that ''Coraline'' was a Creator/TimBurton film, due to the off-kilter art style, stop-motion animation, and the fact that the trailers hyped it as being by "the director of ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''". This is referring to Henry Selick; Burton had nothing to do with ''Coraline''. The blame here can be pinned on the InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt for ''Nightmare'' -- while its full title is ''Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas'', Burton was only responsible for the ''concept'' as he was busy directing ''Film/BatmanReturns'' at the time. Creator/NeilGaiman, author of the original book, [[http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/02/by-way-of-preamble.html has expressed his annoyance with this]], and it was [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02092009.shtml mocked]] by several webcomics.
33--->"'Neil Gaiman:''' ''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.)"
34* Build-a-Bear Workshop's description for their plush toy of Fluffy from ''Franchise/DespicableMe'' starts with "Agnes, Gru's favorite 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 adopted daughters and the person who actually owns said unicorn, not Gru. It's possible this was a proofreading mistake; since Agnes is one of Gru's adoptive daughters, her full name is "Agnes Gru." Removing the commas makes the sentence correct.
35* ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory''
36** The tie-in book "Fish Talk" claims that Hank turns pink when [[spoiler: inking himself in the touch pond]]. He doesn't change color at all during this incident.
37** [[https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Ag6o/coppertone-kids-finding-dory-sunburn The description of a Coppertone ad]] based on the movie calls Hank "Frank".
38* ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'':
39** Elsa is often referred to as "Princess Elsa", especially in Brazil, even though her coronation and status as ''queen'' of Arendelle are major plot points. This is likely because of her prominence in the ''Franchise/DisneyPrincess'' line, which lumps Elsa in with actual princesses for marketing's sake - something not unheard of for the franchise. Sometimes she's even called "[[IAmNotShazam Princess Frozen]]".
40** A review of the film in a French newspaper mixed up the names of the sisters, presenting Anna as having uncontrollable ice powers and Elsa the plucky sister who punches princes in the face.
41* Back when ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTransformania'' was slated for theatrical release, the Vue Cinemas website claimed Creator/AdamSandler would be returning as Dracula, when it had already been made public knowledge that his role would be [[TheOtherDarrin taken over by]] Creator/BrianHull.
42* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'':
43** The Rotten Tomatoes website and a few movie theatres that gave away free film pamphlets, made this summary of the movie: "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 be true had the film been more faithful to Cressida Cowel's book series. Too bad the movie is an adaptation InNameOnly: instead of a young boy going going through a rite of passage by 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 is wrong.
44** An advertisement for toy dragons based on [[WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2 the second movie]] showed and described someone making toy Toothless fight a [[{{Kaiju}} Bewilderbeast]]...specifically, the white one that is actually ''[[GentleGiant good]]'' in the movie, [[spoiler: not the black one that's under [[BigBad Drago]]'s control]].
45* To this day, some people insist that the [[RunningGag Pizza Planet Truck]] appears in ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' -- 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'').
46* ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'':
47** Many people are confused as to what animals Bing Bong 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 his floppy ears.
48** 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]].
49** 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, due to being a young girl's imaginary friend.
50** IMDB claims that the song "Take My Breath Away" played in this movie. It did not; it played in the ''WesternAnimation/RileysFirstDate'' short that is a bonus feature on the Blu-ray and DVD of the film, and was probably added because at the time, the short had no listing on the site yet.
51* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "A Star is Burns" has a TV announcer refer to ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsonsMeetTheFlintstones'' as "The Flintstones Meet the Jetsons".
52* [[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)". The character's name is Sheen, and Ultra Lord is one character, not a group (though a case could be made for the latter referring to the action figures instead of any characters).
53* Sometimes extremist Christian parties pick on cartoons that, according to them, [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell send subliminal messages to children that are watching them]]. This is the case with Italian politician and activist Mario Adinolfi, leader of the "People of the Family"[[note]] a political party notorious 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. This ignores the fact that Mr. Ping, Po's adoptive father, raises him by himself at the start of the series, with Po only finding his true father in the third film.
54* IGN's review of the ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' Platinum Edition DVD lists that the DVD contains two versions of the film: one animated in [=CinemaScope=], and one with characters and details re-arranged for Academy screens (which are shaped more like squares), offering "a sort of unofficial history lesson for folks who are interested in cinema's technological history." However, if the reviewer read the back cover more carefully, they would have noticed the DVD actually contains ''Lady and the Tramp'' in [=CinemaScope=] -- its original, unedited format -- and Pan and Scan. Instead of including the specially modified version (which would have had to be restored separately), Disney simply cropped the picture for 4:3 TV sets.
55* When ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTimeIXJourneyToBigWater The Land Before Time IX]]'' was first released, there was a very bizarre review on Amazon, which somehow referred to the previous film, ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTimeVIIITheBigFreeze The Big Freeze]]'', as "Time of Much Snow". Also, even more strange, the review talked about the death of Littlefoot's '''grandmother''' instead of his mother, suggesting that this user didn't do any research.
56* 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, 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 and a LongRunner among the action-oriented themes, having played a huge part in saving LEGO from going out of business during the early 2000s, the exact opposite of a failure -- the series' [[Toys/{{Bionicle 2015}} reboot]] ''did'' fail, but that happened after ''The LEGO Movie'' had come out. The joke was really either the creators' way of acknowledging the franchises they didn't have time to cover in the movie, or [[spoiler: a reference to how Finn can't play with them since he might not own any of the toys]].
57* ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}'': After actress Creator/PatriciaHeaton criticized Pixar for [[TheOtherDarrin recasting Buzz]] with Creator/ChrisEvans instead of Creator/TimAllen, several right-wing news outlets claimed that Allen had been fired from the role due to his conservative beliefs, and that Buzz would be played by Evans in all future projects. Not only was Allen working on a ''Series/TheSantaClauses'' with Disney at the time of ''Lightyear'''s premier, but director Angus [=MacLane=] had stated much earlier that Evans was chosen as Buzz because it would further differentiate the human Buzz from the toy Buzz. Plus, Allen himself was [[ApprovalOfGod fine with the recasting]], and even encouraged his followers on social media to give Evans (who himself gave heavy praise to Allen's original performance) a chance in the role.
58* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'':
59** In the book ''Disney: The First 100 Years'', a screenshot from the opening scene of ''The Lion King'' is captioned as "Rafiki holds baby Simba while Mufasa and '''Nala''' smile proudly." Simba's mother is named Sarabi; Nala is Simba's childhood friend and [[ChildhoodFriendRomance love interest]].
60** The infamous argument that ''The Lion King'' ripped off ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' is flawed on several levels, and most videos on the subject come from people who have never seen the show themselves. Many, if not most, comparisons [[ManipulativeEditing involve footage taken out of context]], sometimes from material released ''after'' ''The Lion King'' came out, and many "similarities" are either entirely superficial, [[OlderThanTheyThink predate them both]], or are just made up. For those interested, ''WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg'' did some research on the controversy and ended up making a [[https://youtu.be/G5B1mIfQuo4 a two-hour in-depth analysis]] that debunks most of the arguments made by the "Kimba Crowd". In a delicious bit of irony, a fan of Adam even discovered a pre-Kimba comic about a lion named Simba, and Adam then added a parody of the "Kimba crowd" videos by [[SpoofedWithTheirOwnWords using the exact same arguments used in them]].
61* ''WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}}'':
62** A 2012 [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120721213708/http://www.france24.com/en/20120714-lemurs-worlds-most-threatened-mammal-study AFP article]] on the endangered status of lemurs refers to ''Madagascar'' as a Creator/{{Disney}} [[AllAnimationIsDisney movie]].
63** An article about in an issue of Disney Adventures magazine when the movie originally came out mentions "Johnson the lemur" as one of the characters. There is no such character in the movie.
64* A lot of news stories about ''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 four theatrical ''Peanuts'' films made between 1969 and 1980: ''WesternAnimation/ABoyNamedCharlieBrown'', ''WesternAnimation/SnoopyComeHome'', ''WesternAnimation/RaceForYourLifeCharlieBrown'', and ''WesternAnimation/BonVoyageCharlieBrown''.
65* An [[http://smokescreeners.org/downloads/animated_smoking.pdf article]] on depictions of tobacco and alcohol use in movies for children identifies [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Lampwick]] as Lamp''wit''.
66* [[https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zb3VuZGNsb3VkLmNvbS91c2Vycy9zb3VuZGNsb3VkOnVzZXJzOjMwODg2MDY4My9zb3VuZHMucnNz/episode/dGFnOnNvdW5kY2xvdWQsMjAxMDp0cmF A description from The Rock Podcast]] claims that ''WesternAnimation/Planet51'' is a Spanish animated film. It's actually an American-Spanish co-production that was animated in Spain.
67* [[http://www.agonybooth.com/movies/The_Return_of_the_King_1980.aspx This review]] of the 1980 Rankin/Bass version of ''WesternAnimation/TheReturnOfTheKing'' starts with the reviewer stating that they haven't read the original books. They nevertheless go on to complain about how the cartoon deviates from the original text such as having Sam tempted by the ring with visions of turning Middle-earth into a giant garden, Denethor possessing a Palantir and the presence of the Watchers (semi-alive giant vulture statues). All of these scenes are in the original book.
68* [[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]]'', which is a completely unrelated movie made by ''Warner Bros.''
69* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''
70** A lot of summaries of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooInArabianNights'' make it seem like a regular ''Scooby-Doo!'' episode, only set in the Middle East, when it is actually a straightforward adaptation of the original story with Scooby and a DisguisedInDrag Shaggy taking the place of Scheherazade.
71** Many early articles announcing the voice cast for ''WesternAnimation/{{SCOOB}}'' mention Creator/FrankWelker voicing Scooby since the franchise's inception in 1969. While he's been voicing ''Fred'' since then, he only became Scooby's regular voice in 2002 with ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo'' (following the death of original Scooby voice Creator/DonMessick).
72* The [=MovieGuide.org=] review of ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'' 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." This is just about the opposite of what the film shows; in fact, the primary conflict of the movie is ''set up'' by the kids sneaking into ''Asses of Fire'' and copying its lowbrow VulgarHumor in real life, upsetting [[MoralGuardians their parents]] so much they declare war on Canada. (Interestingly, at least one earlier draft of the movie actually ''did'' have a message like that.)
73* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'':
74** The ''Christian Review'' website complained in their review 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]].
75** There was a tie-in board game that adapts the climax of the movie -- players must travel around Far Far Away while collecting enough Gingerbread Man-themed tokens to let them storm the castle and win the game. While this much is accurate to the movie, the game refers to these pieces as "Gingy Tokens." Gingy is the nickname of the normal-sized Gingerbread Man; the giant one that Shrek and company use to break into the castle is named Mongo.
76* A video game version of ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' for the NES asked which Disney princess fell under the spell of "Queen Malificent". Maleficent was the villain in ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', but the game claims the answer is ''WesternAnimation/{{Snow White|AndTheSevenDwarfs}}'' (whose villain is usually just called "The Evil Queen", but was named Grimhilde in concept).
77* [[https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.comicsbeat.com/playstation-promotional-video-stolen-animation/ This article]] falsely lists that the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseTheMovie'' came out in 2001, when it actually came out in 2019. ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' itself didn't start until 2013.
78* Some online sources, when reporting on the announcement of the voice cast for ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' and showing the actors next to pictures of their characters, mistakenly believed Sebastian Maniscalco was voicing a Spike, the green, spike ball-throwing enemy {{Mook}} introduced in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', instead of Foreman Spike from ''VideoGame/WreckingCrew.'' This is understandable since the reveal refers to him simply as "Spike" and the latter character is quite obscure, but the official reveal had each actor shown next to a small icon of their character, with Spike represented by his sprite from ''Wrecking Crew''
79* [[https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/teen-titans-go-to-the-movies Common Sense Media's]] review of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' uses a screenshot from an episode of [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo the series it adapts]], "The Fourth Wall".
80* Dr. Ted Baehr's [=MovieGuide=] put out a review of the 2007 ''WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}}'' film that is riddled with errors and bizarre extrapolations, alongside a healthy dose of EveryoneIsSatanInHell. For starters:
81** Leonardo and Raphael's fight, two thirds ''midway'' through the movie is described as a battle between Leo and Michaelangelo -- at the film's beginning.
82** "Stories went nowhere..." This implies that 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 on the bleak chance that someone going to see it [[SmallReferencePools had never been exposed to previous Turtles-related material]].
83** 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 seen in many other movies. But somehow, this is an ''evil'' tactic by ''Satan'' to get us addicted to looking for answers in... astrology. Not one single constellation in the Zodiac ([[EasternZodiac Eastern]] or [[WesternZodiac Western]]) is ever mentioned on-screen.
84** 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 media has led him to believe that this vigilante actually kills the criminals. 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.
85* Movie critic Eleanor Ringel claimed in her review of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'' that the Tom and Jerry series won fifteen Academy Awards for Outstanding Animated Short Subjects. They were ''nominated'' for fifteen awards, but only won seven.
86* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'': To quote Armond White's review: "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. The biggest error here, however, is that Hamm is not, nor has he ever been, a villain; he can be a bit of a {{jerkass}} when upset, but is usually rather mellow. Possibly, he saw Hamm being portrayed as the Evil Doctor Porkchop in young Andy's FantasySequence in the beginning, and somehow conflated this with the rest of the movie. Also, the villain's name is Lots'''o''' Hugg'''in''' Bear, not Lotsa Hugs.
87%% Which news source? * One news source for ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph'' actually calls [[BrattyHalfPint Vanellope Von Schweetz]] Ralph's [[NoYay love interest]].
