Line 2:
* The America-based Russian monkeys behind the animated cutscenes of [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games]] and ''[[I.M. Meen]]'', Animation Magic, were some time later contracted to do the animation for the ''[[Warcraft]]'' spin-off ''Warcraft Adventures''. Said game was later cancelled due to the popularity decline of [[Adventure Game|adventure games]] [[Popularity Polynomial|at the time]] but still, there's no denying that of all people, '''Blizzard''' hired the staff responsible for some of the single most laughable scenes in video game history.
** But imagine the [[YouTube Poop]]s that could've come out of that!
* [[Development Hell]]: The movie. Talk of an adaptation started in 2006, with the current release being a decade later. The plot flip-flopped between being about the First War to being set just prior to ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' (the reason cited being that the popularity of the franchise was from the MMO, not the RTS'). Sam Raimi was originally supposed to direct, but the project was put off so that Raimi could focus on other films. He eventually left, citing mismanagement on Blizzard's part who had vetoed most of his pre-production work. It was not until 2013 that the movie was finally [[Saved from Development Hell]].
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Uther the Lightbringer is [[Diablo II|Deckard Cain]] and [[StarCraft|Tassadar]]! Maiev Shadowsong is Meryl from [[Metal Gear|Metal Gear Solid]]! And many, many more!
** Illidan is [[Naruto|Gaara]] (in a cutscene, at least; his VA in the game proer is Matthew Yang King, btw) and The Lich King is [[Soul Series|Astaroth]]!
