Hilarious Ripoffs of The Most Popular Cartoons

The great artist Pablo Picasso once said that good artists copy, great artists steal, although when he said that I don't think he was referring to the recent deluge of blatant rip-offs of cartoon movies and shows, I mean that the best artists

cartoons

are inspired by each other. moment, but some companies have simply copied concept for concept from successful

cartoons

to try to make a quick buck, don't believe me right, from chop KCK Panda to oh my god goober and Ghost Chasers. Unbelievable, it's time to judge some crimes against animation. with the worst and funniest cartoon knockoffs of all time, keep in mind that some of you watching may have been born after 2007, which makes me feel so old I think my bones just crumbled, but for Older Millennials like me, you would have been around when Something incredibly strange was unleashed in Western culture that I'm talking about when legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld, creator of Seinfeld, one of the

most

successful American comedies of all time, decided to write a children's film, The Bee Movie, to summarize the plot in which a bee decides to sue humanity. for stealing honey, crazy idea, true, but that's not even the strangest part, since a woman literally falls in love with a bee.

The film ends with a woman and a bee as a couple co-running a flower shop. They showed it to Children. Yes, the late 2000s. A strange time to have an experience as completely crazy as it was: the film grossed $293 million at the box office, inspiring smaller animation companies to try to cash in on the hype. the B movie that led to Plan B. A mock created by Spark Plug Entertainment in 2007, the same year the movie was released, at least Plan B kept its B plot focused without a creepy romance in beum, instead it centered on a being tyrannized by a cruel queen bee who demands honey, but while the B movie was bright and colorful, Plan B has a nightmare. fuel animation, the cheap budget could be seen in every frame, but could they have at least avoided giving the characters demonic red eyes?

Plan B has an impressive reputation for being one of the worst movies ever made and is indexed by the horrible movie wiki for this. and the criticism doesn't stop, this person summed up all the problems with Plan B with the acting is so bad and the animation is so bad and everything is so bad and oh my god this person compared the animation to the demons of brain paralysis dream they see at the end of their bed at night, while this person felt the need to literally wash their eyes out with acid, after watching this review it was much better as their only complaint about the movie was all the bees in it, while this person recommended that he seek psychiatric help.

If you find yourself enjoying Plan B, although my favorite review of the movie is, This Plan B Literally Ruined My Life 10 out of 10, why do I get the feeling that Jerry wrote that trickster Jack Black is a comedy legend and a feeling of voice acting behind? po Kick-Ass Kung Fu Panda alongside Hollywood legends like Jackie Chan Angelina Jolie Lucy Lou and Seth Rogan, this film was destined for greatness, the now

popular

franchise released its first film in 2008 and has since grossed over $1.8 billion across three movies with a fourth Kung Fu Panda in the works With such a

popular

Panda property, it's no surprise that cheap rip-offs came along faster than a karate chop.

The first was Little Panda's Fighter in November 2008, less than 6 months after the direct release of Kung Fu Panda as DVD. movie, although at least the creators came up with an original plot following a giant panda named Panata who dreams of becoming a professional dancer, although any budget given to the screenwriters came at the cost of decent animation with creepy 3D visuals that They look like the Kung Fu Panda animators were forced to make this movie in a hostage situation, but as bad as it was, even this remake isn't as offensive as the even sillier KCK Panda rip-off, a 2D animated movie. which plagiarizes the plot of Kung Fu Panda completely. follows a lazy Panda who dreams of becoming a martial arts master.

What's more strange is that this movie was actually released by a yoga company, yes, in 2011, Gia Inc took a break from posting videos about yoga and meditation tutorials to make a quick buck by releasing three. embarrassingly bad animated movie rip-offs, the other offenders include copying DreamWorks' Puss and Boots with its furry-tailed release of Puss in Boots, as well as copying Happy Feet, the animated musical about a dancing penguin with the name even more annoying, tappy toes, which follows this 2D animation. a penguin who discovers the power of tap dancing and uses it to fight an evil hermit crab, unsurprisingly this movie was a straight to DVD flop, ultimately Gia Inc struggled to increase interest in their films, it should have stuck with the yoga postures.

Losing My Religion when Finding Nemo was released in 2003, over 20 years ago, was presented as a masterpiece of animation. The story of an overprotective clownfish searching for his lost son tore hearts around the world and lined the pockets of its producers. With a staggering $940 million at the box office, there was suddenly an avalanche of mock family movies centered on underwater fish trying to cash in on the success of Finding Nemo, but one stood out above all the others not just because it copied Finding Nemo's unique naming convention, not because it was The characters were carbon copies of those in Finding Nemo, but because it combined the fish theme with faith, say hello to finding Jesus, may sound like I I might be making it up, but I promise this is 100% real.

Finding Jesus was released in the year. of Our Lord 2020 follows the story of two never-stop-smiling fish friends, Muggles and Joy, and their 3D-animated adventures of telling Bible stories to a series of eternally smiling underwater creatures. The scenes are all very similar, cutting from one fish to another, all sporting the exact same expression boringly talking about Bible stories in a way that feels miserable with an impressively bad 1.1 out of 10 rating on IMDb. You'd think this couldn't be worse, but it is because director Jason Wright clearly didn't think. he had hit rock bottom with a terribly bad drill he did another one can you guess what it's called?

It's uh, it's also finding Jesus. It's the same weird fish with more Bible stories that got a slightly better 1.2 out of 10 on IMDb. really funny is that Jesus walked on water, so surely the last place you would find him is at the bottom of the ocean. Old block animation is typically associated with children's movies, but if there's one show that puts a hard R rating on animated programming it's South Park. Looking at a world map, you'd be hard-pressed to find a country where at least one episode of South Park isn't featured. banned, but one of the countries with a complete ban on the entire series is Kuwait due to the South Park offensive. jokes about Muslims and thanks to this complete ban on the original show, Kuwait got its way by releasing a full version of the original show.

BL CL 13 was released in 2000 and reimagined the main cast of South Park with children of Arab descent in place of Cartman replaced by Aboud. the classic hat was changed to a white tea a religious headdress Kenny is replaced by salum whose voice is muffled by a red cfia wrap in place of the orange hoodie, although Kyle's hunter hat is still worn by his block 13 substitute , Azo, a strange winter hat to wear. in the hot desert where the comedy takes place, but, of course, the plagiarizing animators did not have their own ideas similar to those of the original South Park, the series dealt with social issues related to the population of Kuwait, but toned down the offensive humor a lot to be more familiar, one notable difference is that salum does not die in every episode, unlike poor Kenny, the series aired on Kuwait TV from 2000 to 2002 and produced three seasons, although the really strange thing about this show is that it was the first show animated produced in the ultra socially conservative region of the Persian Gulf and of all the cartoon properties decided to rip off one of the

most

offensive cartoons of all time.

A twist so ironic that I think the creators of South Park are actually kind of proud of Rat Race. If I ever see a rat in a restaurant kitchen then I'll never eat there again, but when it comes to animated movies we put aside our disgust. because of the rats and we all enjoyed Ratatouille, the movie released in 2007 is the story of a rat Remy who helps a French chef cook in the kitchen. hiding under his hat while secretly controlling him like a puppet, a huge box office hit that grossed over $600 million and won an Oscar for best animated feature and, as I'm sure you already know, where there is an animated movie successful there is always a rat scam in this case ratat toing while Ratatouille was in production for several years this animated scam was created in just four months by the Brazilian animation studio Vio bro and that is reflected in the low quality animation with a movie which only lasts half the duration.

Originally running at 45 minutes, the plot loosely follows a rat who becomes a chef and runs a restaurant halfway through the film. A group of rats start singing la la la and haha ​​repeatedly while the animators were trying to fill time in the middle of a medium-length film. As if they didn't have the entire plot of Ratatouille to steal your ideas from, you're probably scratching your head and wondering why these terrible counterattack movies are well made. The business model behind these low-budget scams is that they are put together quickly. will be released the same month as Ratatouille and will ride on its coattails, most of the profits coming from confused grandmothers who accidentally bought the wrong DVD for their grandchildren and, if that wasn't hard enough for the elderly, the same studio also ripped the more sincere. movie in which an old man places thousands of balloons in his house to fly on an adventure, but in the main imitation, what's up, balloon to the rescue?, they don't even bother to animate several balloons, but instead replace them with one balloon giant, now you can think.

You're smarter than to end up watching one of these knockoff movies, but the way these knockoff movies often trick people into buying them is by using similar words in the title, for example, in 2012 the third installment of the popular Madagascar series from DreamWorks called Madagascar 3. Europe's Most Wanted, the sequel to Madagascar Escape to Africa and also came Ripoff Life's a Jungle Africa's Most Wanted, a film that follows the adventure of a vest with a dog who gets lost on a safari in Savannah. The use of similar words. Character design. and movie posters focusing on a gang of animals in Africa can fool you if you don't pay close attention.

If you look them up online, similar text could end up with you accidentally buying the wrong movie, so always check that title with the production company when renting or buying a movie if you smell like a rat don't buy it in Georgia with love the Kardashians may want to be America's most famous family but there isn't enough yellow tan in the world to make them as famous as the family in the longest-running animated series of all time The Simpsons, American Life's light-hearted cartoon satire aired on first time in 1989 and after three decades it is still on the air and now reaches its 34th season one of the most distinctive elements of The Simpsons This is how the visual jokes of the opening title sequence change in each episode.

Can you tell the difference this time? No need to adjust the video quality. The graphics really are that bad. Of course, this is not an opening episode of The Simpsons, but the. samsad, a show that, according to creator shalma ramash Vil, is a completely original cartoon about a Georgian family that reflects Georgian humor and culture, except for the title sequence that begins in the clouds with the sound of a choir, the musical theme, the yellow-skinned characters and the opening scene that features the iconic brown couch despite the Creator's denial, it is obvious that Samson OD is a cheap imitation of The Simpsons, the most shocking of all is that this terrible animation it was allowed on TV until 2009, man if you're watching this from Georgia then you have my condolences, but at least in some ways these Samson OD's tried to be original, there are fun differences, like the Green Parrot being featured prominently In the opening, he is actually the family pet named Ki, while the father of the family, Gaya.

Samson ad works in a bank instead of a nuclear power plant and, unlike Homer Simpson, he has afull head of hair, his son Gia is the bald one, unlike Bart, the one with spiky hair, the family completed by the dodo wife, who has brown hair and heavier clothes. makeup than the tall blue-haired Marge and the daughter Shena, who has a red-haired Bob and is more interested in children than the smart Lisa, although they both share the same orange dress and pearl choker, but just look at the character design one next to each other it makes you appreciate.

The Simpsons art direction even more so, as these Samson ODs look like half-full sacks of potatoes, similar to the original show, the Samson ad is supposed to talk about Georgian culture, which is why there's this weird scene with a cut Hardcore that dates back to 1992, where everyone is wearing Camouflage clothing and carrying machine guns, which is supposed to be a reference to the Georgia Civil War that took place between 1991 and 1993. Overall, Samson OD is much more political than The Simpson, for example, while The Simpsons have Mr. Burns as their archenemy. The villains of Samson's ad are several Russian politicians, such as in an episode where Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin sends a spy to Georgia to comment on the strained relationship between Georgia and Russia, for which the show received a lot of criticism. , which is saying something because that meant people.

I had to genuinely sit through this horrible animation to get it. Kudos to them, as expected, with its poorly rendered animation, Samson Odes never achieved the same popularity as The Simpsons, and luckily this strange yellow family was put out of its misery after just one season. Well, it's like Homer once said you did your best and failed miserably. The lesson is: never try the Guist imposter. Now that we have covered so many fake cartoons. you're probably starting to see fakes everywhere, just take Shrek and the Mushrooms, the bogeyman, surely another scam case, well not really, sometimes cartoons just have to have similar ideas to the movie 2001's Shrek, which was based on an American picture book published in 1990 about a hideous Green Ogre who marries an ugly princess, meanwhile, Mushroom the Boogeyman was a British children's picture book published even earlier in 1977 about a monster green that is scaring children after the success of the Shrek movies, the original mushroom book was adapted into a television miniseries in 2004 and how the Internet is full of green trolls.

A completely original idea is rare in animation. Often the basic formula of programs that are popular is continually recycled. For example, a show released in 1973 was called Goober and the Ghost Chasers. Do you already know which cartoon this show is copying? If not, I will give you a series of clues. This show features a group of teenage reporters for a paranormal-themed magazine. They have a big green dog named Goober. Each episode features the gang solving a ghostly mystery. Have any of you nosy kids noticed? We already figured it out, that's right, Goober is a total rip-off of Scooby-Doo, but here's the twist: it was actually produced by Hannah Barbara Productions, the same company that created the original Scooby-Doo.

The original Scooby-Doo series Where Are You? It started in 1969 and ran until 1978, after that it developed into the franchise we know today with multiple movies, video games and spin-off shows, but Hannah Barbara knew they had a winning cartoon formula on their hands, so they reworked the format. of Scooby-Doo over and over again. and again from turning Scooby into a goofball to the funky Phantom in 1971, which featured three teenagers on their dog who accidentally freed two ghosts, then there was Clue Club in 1976, which tried to duplicate the success by featuring two talking dogs, but he failed to secure half.

Much to their interest, they even changed the dog sidekick to a giant shark in Jabberjaw, which aired in 1975, but this show flopped just as hard. Hannah Barbara even turned to rhyme to make her characters as popular as scoo with the new schmoo released in 1979, a show that featured a shape-shifting creature named Shmo who helps a gang of teenagers solve Mysteries, but at the same time Just like an off-brand Scooby Snack, none of these shows captured the flavor of the original and they were all canceled after one series - after all, there's only one Scooby Doo. cocoa butt If you had to ask who lives in a pineapple under the sea, everyone knows the answer: it's SpongeBob SquarePants, the show about a happy-go-lucky sea sponge and his adventures with his sea friends in Bikini Bottom, one of the franchises of most successful cartoons. of all time, having had 13 seasons and sold over 113 billion in merchandise due to its incredible popularity, you just know that at some point a scam was going to happen and in 2006 Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island came along.

Now at first glance you can give this show the benefit of the doubt and assume it's an original concept after all, it's about a coconut on a sand island inhabited entirely by talking fruit characters, but between the theme tropical landscape and Fred's consistently happy, childlike personality, it soon becomes clear that this is an original concept. SpongeBob's Timon Coco Fred is SpongeBob if SpongeBob's personality were amped up to 10, but there are no moments of self-awareness or even a grumpy Squidward to put him in his place. This coconut is so annoying that even other characters on the show insult him when asked about Coconut Fred wedgie, a talking lemon, says that he is awake and sounds dangerously friendly.

The other characters are interested in avoiding Coconut Fred at all costs, probably because he spends the entire show terrorizing them. The show is based on Coconut Fred's ability to create anything he imagines. reality that results in chaos for the other inhabitants of the island most of Coconut Fred's creations are based on puns like causing a root canal or an annoying sounding tropical storm so annoying that even his voice actor hated him Rob Paulson was openly critical of the character referring to the show as a rip-off of Shameless SpongeBob SquarePants, which begs the question of who likes Coconut Fred.

Considering the show was canceled after 13 episodes, the answer is likely no one, maybe the show would have been more successful if the main character was a little more. shy coconut oh god, those terrible puns are rubbing off on me. I'll be doomed between The Walking Dead and The Last of Us. Television is full of post-apocalyptic shows, but animating a post-apocalyptic society doesn't seem like the best idea for a children's show, and yet the imaginative setting of The Land of Ooh became a hit show after the adventures of Finn and his half-dog, a noodle friend Jake. Advent Time was one of Cartoon Network's hit shows that attracted 3 million viewers and one episode was also critically acclaimed.

Eight Primetime Emmy Awards over its 283 episodes from 2010 to 2018, and the series spawned tons of spin-off books, comics, and video games. Not surprisingly, he also revealed his own scam, yes, a Chinese animation known as The Legend of Lucky Pie, both cartoons. have similar animation styles with main characters armed with noodles and swords who love to fight monsters and go on adventures with Jake the dog and Lucky the horse, both possess body transformation powers, although Jake can take any form he wants, Lucky alone can transform from a vertical anthropomorphic. horse to a classic four-legged horse, another difference is that Lucky Pie's co-leader is an anthropomorphic owl known as aai, although his design clearly resembles Finn with his pointy head copying Finn's trademark hat.

Aai also copies Finn's personality, being fiery when he fights monsters but timid. However, around girls, that may be the universal rule for 12-year-olds. Both shows also feature a quirky cast of supporting characters based on folklore and food. An obvious parallel between the two shows is Adventure Time's Princess Bubblegum and Lucky Pie's Strawberry Warrior Lucky Pie even references Adventure Time, while Adventure Time takes place in the land of ooh, Lucky Pie is set in the world of Mushroom Star, a reference to the mushroom nuclear wars on Adventure Time that created the post-apocalyptic Earth of O. Both society shows feature themes of brotherly love, friendship, and courage to stand up for your beliefs, but while Time Adventures has an entire studio of animators putting it together, the legend of Lucky Pie is a labor of love created by a group of independent Chinese animators tired of the vulgar.

Major Chinese cartoons developed the show without Studio backing and secured much of their funding through fans on Patreon, and this tighter budget is reflected in the series' more relaxed art style, while Adventure Time is known for for its fine, polished and soft lines. Lucky Pie's lines are thicker. wobbler and have a hand-drawn quality, the show's look has more toned-down, earthy colors than Adventure Time's famous pastel rainbow aesthetic, and while this made it something of an appealing homebrew homage to Adventure Time, Lucky Pie only aired from 2015 to 2018 with five episodes produced. In all, these Chinese animators took Adventure Time and made their own version.

In this case, it seems less like a blatant scam and more that imitation is the highest form of flattery. Celebrities look alike, they take four random words that have no relation to each other. Mutant teenager. ninja turtle may sound like random hashtags from a Tik tocker trying to go viral, but combine them and you have a successful show. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles without any context sounds incredibly silly, but creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Leair made their strange title work. The idea came about when the two comic artists were together and Kevin drew a turtle wearing a mask and holding a nunchaku.

They found the contrast between the famous slow-moving reptile and the speed and agility of a ninja to be a fun mix and developed the idea. and created a team of four Turtles, each specialized in their own weapon, so Leonardo Raphael Donatello and Michelangelo, named after the couple's favorite artists, were born as an independent comic line in 1984 by Mirage Studios. 3 years later, the cleverly innovative idea was adapted into a hugely popular cartoon set in New York City, the series follows the adventures of the Ninja Turtles as they fight criminals and reworks the grittiest original comic into a show. cheerful cartoon and full of jokes.

In 1990, the series was shown daily on over 125 television stations after the success of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon licensed Playmates Toys who produced a range of toys including 400 figures and playsets, and these toys were purchased by children with sales worth 1.1 billion between 1988 and 1992, so with this incredible success it is no surprise that others have tried to replicate the successful formula all you need is a sci-fi adjective a martial art and an anthropomorphic animal how hard could it be good in 1990 the first rip-off show Samurai Pizza Cats appeared, ironically this show was produced in Japan, the culture that had inspired the Ninja Turtles was now creating a similar franchise, this time changing the Mutant Ninja Turtles by semi-cyborg samurai cats and that wasn't the only idea they copied from the Ninja Turtles they love. pizza, but samurai cats went a step further, as the show's characters worked in a pizzeria.

To its credit, this cartoon didn't try to hide where its influences came from in the first episode, a retirement home for the aging Ninja Turtles is mentioned. An old Ed Mr Turtleman even appears in the show's opening theme with a line saying that they have more fur than a turtle. once had a pretty accurate but super boring depiction of the show Rival and if it wasn't obvious enough, since Mr Turtle The Man even repeats the famous Ninja Turtles catchphrase cowabanga, the cartoon leaned into its parotic nature with plenty of self-referential jokes. making fun of himself and the show TMNT and even poked fun at other aspects of pop culture with a character called batat in reference to Batman. was a cult hit among anime fans in Japan and an English adaptation was even greenlit for release in North America.

He took inspiration from this series and made it his own, but it helped open the door to many other Copycat shows, such as Street. Jaws, which sounds more like sharks floating in the street, not agile crime fighters, but this show solved that by leaning on the ENT mut teen element to create its own spectacle as our favorite ninjas transformed after theexposure to radioactive ooze, stray sharks are the result. from a German Slammer device in which four teenagers transform into inverted mermaids with shark heads atop human bodies instead of pursuing a life Under the sea, the newly created shark hybrids fight crime much like the Turtles Ninja From 1994 to 1997, three series followed the Adventures of ripster streaks and grand slams, the show copied the Turtles' love of extreme sports with the shark heroes using skateboards, rollerblades and motorcycles to travel around the city, but despite From everything it copied, the sharks never achieved the same success as the turtles, although the show did. launch their own toy line that combines toy sharks with some of the worst fashion trends of the '9s, look at those sweatbands, but by far the laziest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles copy has to be the Do I Have to say this out loud?

It's so dumb Kung Fu. Dino posi was released in 2009 almost 20 years late to the party, maybe they thought so much time had passed that people wouldn't realize it was a Ninja Turtles gimmick, even the backstory was put together in a way clumsy, as it featured a gang of four dinosaurs that were frozen. the last ice age and after being thawed from the ice they resumed their kung fu skills to fight crime, except the dinosaurs became extinct 66 million years ago, long before the world's ice ages, furthermore, the kung fu originated 4,000 years ago in ancient China, so by the logic of the Dinosaurs invented Kung Fu, but even if this was cartoon logic, children didn't believe it, so, just like real dinosaurs, the show went extinct after just one season, but these are just a small selection of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rip-offs with other crime fighting. mutant animals ranging from cows in Moo Mesa's Wild West Cowboys to dogs in Road Rovers and even mice in Biker Mice from Mars.

Have you seen any of these shows? Let me know in the comments or if you're a loyal fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles then show your support by hitting the like button, scapegoat, what's your drinking goat? Do you prefer goat arade or maybe goat milkshake? It is difficult to sell, but if you want to sell things to children, a great way to do it is through cartoons, colorful and fun, children will buy anything if it is made in an animated way, so a Chinese food company Sanan Food decided to promote its goat brand. Milk Miracle stars through a cartoon as the weird, wonderful, and charming star, although creating an original cartoon is difficult, so this company took a shortcut and completely ripped off The Amazing World of Gumball.

The Cartoon Network show that first aired between 2011 and 2019 revolves around the anthropomorphic cat. Gumball and his adventures with his adopted brother Darwin, a goldfish with legs, that's a phrase I never thought I'd say, but the rest of Gumball's family is just like Random when it comes to his bunny sister Anise and her rabbit that stays at home. Meanwhile, Dad, the charming all-star series follows anthropomorphic goat named Kiki, who has a talking pet frog known as a medicine cat who lives with him in his family's apartment. Kiki's parents are goats, but there is no figure of little sister, a creepy reference to China's one-child policy, but while Mirle Star may have swapped species with the animals, the art style and direction itself are almost an exact copy of Gumball, shot for shot , and just take a look.

In these side-by-side scenes, the set design is identical to the characters performing the same actions. The creators of Miracle Star did not even bother to write their own stories, but simply copied and pasted scripts from the Gumball The Miracle Star series aired from 2014 to 2017 with a total of 12 episodes aired before being canceled due to negative reviews, Unsurprisingly, the Miracle star didn't capture the same charm of the original Gumball and in fairness, the original Amazing World of Gumball actually tackled the controversial scam in the most entertaining way possible. They released an episode called The Copycats where Gumball and Darwin get confused when they meet a goat named Chi-Chi and a frog named Ribbit, a pair of brothers who copy everything they say and do, then they discover that this copycat family is making money on line. to imitate them, so at least Gumball had the last laugh, which of these terrible scam shows did you think was the worst?

And on the other hand, are there any counterfeit programs that you thought might be better than the original? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching.
