== [[Anime]]
* ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'' (The [[Combining Mecha]] boom of the late 70s & early 80s. Earlier ''Brave'' shows were more a replacement for the ''[[Transformers]]'' franchise after licensing problems occured with the animation studio).
** ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' took a different [[Just for Pun|spin]] on shows of the same era.
Line 67:
* ''[[Independence Day]]'': '50s [[Alien Invasion]] movies.
* ''[[The Forbidden Kingdom]]'': '60s kung fu films.
* ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'': '70s and '80s [[Slasher
* ''[[Moon]]'': 1970s sci-fi B-Movies with an undertone of intellectual thought experiment.
* ''[[Slither]]'': 1980s creature features, particularly ''[[Night of the Creeps]]'', with [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] aplenty.
Line 74:
* ''[[The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension|Buckaroo Banzai]]'' is a [[Parody Sue]] version of ''[[Doc Savage]]''.
* ''[[Ninja Assassin]]'': Cheesy [[Ninja]] movies of the 80's.
* ''[[Hatchet (film)|Hatchet]]'': '80s [[Slasher Movie
* ''[[The House of the Devil]]'': '70s and early '80s horror movies in general, and [[Religious Horror]] in particular.
* ''[[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane]]'': '80s slashers, much like ''Hatchet'' (which came out the same year), albeit in [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror|a less comedic manner]].
Line 168:
* ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' took most of its inspiration from the classic [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney animated musicals]] of [[The Golden Age of Animation]]. It was so successful, it wound up [[Genre Turning Point|resurrecting the entire genre]] and kicking off what came to be known as [[The Renaissance Age of Animation|the Disney Renaissance]].
** More recently, after the Renaissance was over and Disney movies started sucking again, they did another George Lucas Throwback with ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]''. Among their other efforts to go "retro," the movie was ''hand drawn'' despite the absurd cost in time and expense compared with digital drawing.
* In ''[[Animaniacs]]'': The Warner Brothers ([[Insistent Terminology|and the Warner Sister]]) can be taken as a throwback to [[The Golden Age of Animation]] and other comedies of the time like those of the [[Marx Brothers]],
* ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]'' was like a tortured, horrifying version of [[The Golden Age of Animation|Golden Age cartoons]], complete with animation style and specific gags copied from [[Looney Tunes]].
