* Poor [[Don Bluth]]. This might happen to him the most. Then again, he did get his start at Disney...
** As mentioned before, ''[[Anastasia]]'' (released by 20th Century Fox) falls victim to this a ''lot''. In fact, [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Chick]] once did a review of this movie where she noted that the film wasn't a Disney film. However, the formula did represent a form of Bluth "selling out" as the film was almost completely a copy of the [[Disney Princess]] films formula. The marketing of the film heavily played up the [[Disneyesque]] elements.
*** Although, it doesn't help that [[
** Warner Bros. tried to play this trope to its advantage during test screenings of ''[[Thumbelina]]''. When they played the film with the Warner logo, audiences gave it a mediocre score. When they played it with the Disney logo, the scores were ''much'' higher. Bluth reported same thing was employed with ''Anastasia''. With the Disney logo, some sequences even met applause!
** Ironically, Disney distributed Bluth's ''[[An American Tail]]'' in some overseas markets, muddying the waters further. It's not uncommon to find screencaps from the film with a "copyright Disney" watermark on the corner still floating around on the internet due to this.

* A possibly apocryphal tale states that Jack Warner, famously clueless with regards to his own animation house, once said this: "All I know is that we make [[Mickey Mouse]]." If it's true, then it goes a long way to explaining how the "Termite Terrace" gang were able to get away with so much.
** Nicely inverted by a story from [[Metro Goldwyn Mayer]]. When [[Gene Kelly]] was making ''Anchors Aweigh'' (1945), he suggested that he could perform a dancing duet with Mickey. His producers reportedly looked dubious and asked, "And what's wrong with our [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Jerry]]?" And Jerry it became.
*** The story exists in several variant forms. In some versions, Kelly's producers at MGM were willing, until [[Hanna
* One reviewer of ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine|Thomas and the Magic Railroad]]'' was under the impression that Thomas had been produced by Disney. Then again, the review itself was poking fun at fundamentalist Christians who think all movies are the work of the devil.
** Muddying the issue is that the movie actually aired on Playhouse Disney regularly in Asian markets.
