m (a loose example but without TAS popularising the X-Men with mainstream audiences, the movie would never have been made and Evolution (which takes a lot of cues from the movie) wouldn't have either)

* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'': Theme park ride → movie → revamped theme park ride.
* ''[[Transformers]]'' started out as toys, went to an animated series, which then introduced new toys, some of which were used for new Transformers series, or for [[The Movie]], which got ''its own'' line of toys.
** Another Hasbro franchise to which something similar happened is ''[[My Little Pony]]''. It started out as a line of plastic toy ponies with accessories, and in order to boost sales, an animated series was produced. Three generations later, since ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' was launched, the toys are more and more based on the animated series which in turn is based part on the first generation toys (or how [[Lauren Faust]] characterized them), part on the third generation ([[In Name Only]], though).
* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'': [[Radio]] play → Series of books → [[Audio Adaptation|Radio plays based on the last three books that didn't start as radio plays]]. Plus, a fondly-recalled 1980s television series based on the first two books (and, by extension, on at least the first radio series), and a [[Development Hell|forever delayed]] but finally-released 2005 [[Film of the Book|film version]] of the first book, which varied enough from the 'original' for a [[Broken Base]] to result. Plus, a towel. Um, don't ask, but it's [[All There in the Manual]]. Oh, and recently the canon has added a [[Trilogy Creep|sixth book in the trilogy]] by another author, several years after the [[Author Existence Failure]] (a term based on a phrase of his from ''Hitchhiker's'', ironically) of Douglas Adams, the man behind most of the above.
* [[Scrabble]]: [[Board Games]] → [[Scrabble (TV series)|game show]] → [[Home Game|board game]].
