Line 162:
* In the [[Made for TV Movie]] ''Re-Animated'', Sonny Appleday is supposed to have destroyed the legacy of his father, Milt Appleday, ruined the reputation of his cartoons, and nearly bankrupted his company by trying to do a [[Totally Radical]] update of the cartoons using [[Synchro Vox]]. This is attacking ''[[Loonatics Unleashed]]''.
** Since Milt Appleday is a clear [[Mr. Alt Disney]], Sonny might also have been a dig at Micheal Eisner.
** Outrageously ''[[Inverted Trope|Inverted]]'' due to the fact the current president of Cartoon Network, Stuart Snyder, triggered [[Network Decay]] after making the movie into a live-action cartoon series, [[Out of JimmysJimmy's Head]], which flatlined like no other, and then used it as a jumping-off point for CN Real and the like. Now, it's [[Self-Deprecation]].
* Following the success of the ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' movie, [[Filmation]] cashed in with ''[[Filmation's Ghostbusters|Filmations Ghostbusters]]'', a cartoon based off its 1970s TV show. Forced to cede trademark, [[Columbia Pictures]], which produced the ''Ghostbusters'' movie, retaliated by calling their cartoon ''[[The Real Ghostbusters|The '''Real''' Ghostbusters]]''.
** Except that [[Writing Around Trademarks|they really had to rename it due to a conflict with that previous show]]: ''The Ghost Busters''. It had a totally unrelated plot and was long over, but they still held the rights to the name of the TV show. So they had to rename it, and ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' sounds like just as good a name as any.
