Line 19:
Sometimes, a creator may try to [[Torch the Franchise And Run]] in response to this situation.

* There is a ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Film)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' [[The Remake|remake]] film under discussion, which is being planned without [[Word of God|Joss Whedon's input]]. None of the TV characters (except Buffy) will appear. Joss has actually refused to help with it. [[Alyson Hannigan]], [[Anthony Stewart Head]] and others from the show have all said that it's a bad idea and, in the case of Head, that he imagines it will be "quite like watching a car wreck."
* Happened to [[Gene Roddenberry]] with the ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' film series. After ''[[Star Trek: theThe Motion Picture (Film)|Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'' went way over budget and past schedule, [[Paramount Pictures]] had Roddenberry [[Kicked Upstairs]] to "executive consultant", meaning everyone could ignore his "suggestions" if they liked and they did. But [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. The films that followed are considered some of the best work in the ''Star Trek'' canon. When ''Star Trek'' returned to the small screen with ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'', Roddenberry got to be in charge of that, though he continued to have no control over the ''Trek'' movies. During this time, Roddenberry dispensed some [[Word of God]] regarding what elements of the films he considered to be non-canon.
 
 
Line 69:
* Greg Weisman, despite being the principal creator of ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'', doesn't own anything of all the stuff he made. The [[Walt Disney]] company owns all of it. First he, along with all his team, were replaced by other crew. When his show got canceled he tried to continue it via comic books, but was unable to pay the high royalties to Disney.
* It happened to Weisman again with ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]''. When Marvel and Disney merged, the former gave ''Spectacular'' producer Sony the choice of keeping the TV rights or the [[Spider-Man (Film)|film]] rights. Sony decided that the movies print more money than ''Spectacular'', and so it got axed.
* Regardless of whether you believe [[John Kricfalusi]] was fired from it for [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's for Kids?|constantly conflicting with]] [[Nickelodeon]] BS&P or [[Schedule Slip|repeated failure to meet deadlines]], ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show (Animation)|The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' is likely the Most Triumphant Example. Bob Camp and much of the original team from the first two seasons would stay with Nick to work on Ren and Stimpy, which created major schisms between former animator friends that last to this day.
* Of all people it happened to [[Walt Disney]] himself. He lost the rights to [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] and got replaced. After this incident he started to own all of his creations (including [[Mickey Mouse]], who was basically Oswald's replacement). [[Disney]] got the rights to Oswald back from [[Universal]] in 2006. This might explain why the Disney corporation [[Freudian Excuse|so jealously guard their own intellectual property.]]
* [[Don Bluth]] never really owned the rights to any movie he made (save for perhaps ''[[Banjo the Woodpile Cat]]''), resulting in both the [[Sequelitis]] of his more profitable films, and the [[Executive Meddling]] of his films in the 90's (which were made [[Lighter and Softer]] and played [[Follow the Leader]] with Disney). Bluth still gets [[Mis Blamed]] for it.
* [[Lauren Faust (Creator)|Lauren Faust]], despite being the main creative force behind the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Friendship is Magic]]'' incarnation of the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise, has neither absolute control nor ownership of this run of the series.<ref>The franchise itself existed prior to her career in animation.</ref> This is punctuated by the fact that she demoted herself to consultant producer for Season 2.
