I have seen my fair share of people who are focused on reality/daily living to give a crap on who this fictional character is or who this funny animal that. Doesnt matter to them really

Kinda?
Shitass kids have a habit of watching crap on repeat so parents will sometimes buy whatever they think will keep them distracted.

The only time I remember this happening in my house was when my dad came home with a "pokeyman" movie for me and handed me pic related.
Which I still consider the most baffling mixup he's ever made. Said he bought me silver but then handed me gold.

>people who are focused on reality/daily living
whar an empty lifestyle

>>151636778
Yes and it was just as big a thing for horror movies as well. If the movie is popular then there will be plenty of cheap knockoffs thousands of clueless people will buy at Walmart for $5.

>>151636778
Anon, most people can't even tell Disney Animation from Pixar, least of all parents with far too many things they're worrying about to "buy the right cartoon DVD."

>>151636778
You're giving grandparents wayyyy too much credit

ratatoing is the best one

I always thought this affected literal retard parents or grand parents more than anything. I do remember shit like this being sold in pharmacies and shit near where you pickup medicine, occasionally in supermarkets which also had the real deal sometimes.
Never really died, just got swapped with knock offs on streaming, and occasional shit like when the new Tom and Jerry movie came out, the 1992 one was trending (honestly for the better, considering the new one was a dumbass romcom that just happened to have Tom and Jerry involved).

Which then couldn't be returned once opened and would have customers accusing employees of scamming them. I don't miss working there.

whats really the difference? i doubt kids care about the studio who made it they just want to see a cartoon panda

What about that Up ripoff with Ching Chong, the Chinese kid they’re racist toward

That's hilarious and likely the same way many kids around that time were introduced to Ghibli

My favorite will always be this one, just because NotMerida here is not the main character at all.

>implying anyone would refer to it as anything but that movie where sheldon is an alien

>>151636834
it's more than that, though. Like I get that old people don't care about kids movies but they can still remember other things that they've only vaguely seen or heard of once. With these it's like they were actually proud of not being able to tell the difference between a famous kids movie and an obvious ripoff, like it would be shameful if they recognized the correct one enough to buy it.

Well I got another story related to that, this time with my mom.
I was 9, she wanted to treat me to something cute and saw there was an animated series called "Princess Something" on pay-per-view. So she put it on thinking it would be something she'd like too.

10 minutes in and I'm watching an elk rider fight an elder boar demon then decapitating a man with a single shot of an arrow. Shit changed my life.

There was an entire industry wrapped around selling DVDs that looked kinda like a legit movie but depended on stupid people not fully realizing what they threw in the cart.

Had this not been another of those bargain bin ripoffs, they would've presented KIARA in the biggest font and not the film whose coattails they're clearly riding

I can't imagine or fathom that. That's literally NPC shit. Not even joking or meeting. How does someone like that live? Are they lobotomized?

It's interesting watching it since it felt more like a road to el dorado rip off than shrek but with how disproportionately successful shrek was it's easy to see why they went that route.
