== Anime
* ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'' has "SutePuri," an abbreviation of "''Suterareta Purinsesu''" (Abandoned Princess) in its eyecatches. Translated in English subtitles as ScraPri.
* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'' became ''Cardcaptors''.
Line 24:
== Film ==
* ''[[How to Train Your Dragon]]'' is called in the commercials "[[DreamWorks]]' ''Dragons.''"
* The fourth ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' movie had its title changed to ''TMNT''.
* ''[[Zack and Miri Make a Porno]]'' was usually advertised as just ''Zack and Miri''. This is an interesting case in that the abbreviation had nothing to do with the title being too long; there are just places where you can't get away with referencing porno.
* Inverted and in ''[[The Return of Hanuman]]'', as its former name is ''[[Hanuman Returns]]''.
Line 33:
* Before it was released onto VHS and DVD, ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'' was actually originally entitled ''The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective''.
* Posters for ''[[Mission: Impossible]] III'' shortened the title to "M:i:III". As a result, [[The Colbert Report|Stephen Colbert]] made a [[Running Gag]] out of pronouncing it "Meeeeeeeeee".
* Inverted with the [[Ghostbusters (2016 film)|2016 ''Ghostbusters'' reboot]], which was eventually renamed to ''Ghostbusters: Answer the Call'' by the studio.
