Line 85:
* Nuka from ''[[The Lion King]]'' is neglected in favour of the youngest, Kovu, whom Scar chose as his heir.
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', Woody belives he is [[The Unfavourite]] when Andy received Buzz in the first film. But by the third film, it was clear that Andy's favourite toy was Woody.
* Zach from the Quebecois film ''[[C.R.A.Z.Y.]]'' is the fourth son of five and manages to be a case of both Parental Favoritism ''and'' [[The Unfavorite]] - his religious mother believes he has the power of healing and defends him from his father's scorn. Meanwhile his dad, having suspected him of being gay from an early age, lavishes most of his praise on the three older brothers, who are respectively a genius, a jock and a macho lady's man. Meanwhile the youngest just seems to get ignored.
* In ''[[Dead Poets Society]]'', Todd receives a birthday present from his parents - a replica of what they sent him the previous year. It comes out that his brother's birthdays are a big deal, but his own are clearly an afterthought. He throws it away angrily; one of his friends then jokingly tells him to cheer up; he'll get another one next year.
* [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]''. Rotti Largo is utterly disappointed with all three of his grown-up children, and starts looking among the children of his employees for a worthy heir.
