Top Ten Movies That Rip Off Other Movies

NOTE: I mean no offense if you like any of these movies. Other then that, enjoy.
The Top Ten
1 "Frozen" Rips Off "The Lion King"

I know you guys are gonna say OH BUT THEY WAS BOTH MADE BY Disney! True but if you watch both movies closely, then you realise Disney rip off their own classic movie! Strange isn't it?

Not really. It's all Disney and they took more from beauty and the beast and Mulan but techinically can't be called rip off as Disney owns all of it though lion king stole from kimba the white lion which isn't Disney.

2 "Home Alone" Rips Off "Game Over"

First Lion King is not a rip off of Frozen because Lion King is about lions and is like a vivid novel and Frozen is about ice and is like a dime novel, and there are way many movies called Game Over you have to be more specific

Just looked it up, they have nothing alike at all

Yeah... Look it up.

3 "Spy Kids" Rip Off "Inspector Gadget"

Hmm from the gears they use... Kinda.

4 "Spongebob: Atlantis Squarpantis" Rips Off "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory"

(Sorry if I mispelled the willy wonka title) Anyway, of course it did. Almost everybody knows SpongeBob ripped off Willy Wonka. That's low even for SpongeBob.

Actually, it attempts to satirize it. Albeit, it does terribly at that. But still, it's hardly a rip off.

5 "MLP: Equestria Girls" Rips Off "High School Musical"

The hell? Equestria Girls is nothing like High School Musical apart from the whole singing thing. Even then, plenty of movies have songs in them.
Equestria Girls mainly focuses on villains trying to gain power to take over the world. Last time I checked, that wasn't the plot of High School Musical.

When you get to the school part, yeah they did ripped off High School Musical except better.

Equestria Girls is a million times better than High School Musical anyway!

6 "Dragon Ball Evolution" Rips Off "Street Fighters"

I'm talking about the Street Fighters movie by the way.

7 "Planes" Rips Off "Cars"

I don't care if it was made by the same people it's still a rip off.

The only one on this list that makes sense.

I like cars a billion times better

8 "Digimon: The Movie" Rips Off "Pokemon: The Movie"

Both of these movies sucks

See what I did there? LOL

I see what you did.

9 "Tarzan" Rips Off "Beauty and the Beast"

Oh yeah never noticed that, I don't even know which ones better honestly

I honestly don't know which came first but eh who cares?

I see where you are coming from

10 "The Hunger Games" Rips Off "Battle Royale"

Battle Royale: a Japanese sci-fi classic, also an outstanding novel and manga series. Controversial and original, the violence in the movie was done extreme on purpose to make a statement. Character development is constantly progressing, and the plot is immersive. Shuya and Noriko aren't "lovebirds" - they're survivors and best friends. Two of the greatest villains ever: Mitsuko (emotional, interesting backstory) and Kiriyama (stone cold, no mercy, intelligent).

Hunger Games: a cheesy, generic love story that incorporate BR's concept to attract a wider audience - but also tones it down to an over-done style of action/adventure. Holt didn't have the guts to pull-off the intensity needed, and instead made a try-hard PG-13 teen flick. Boring, dislikable characters, and one of the worst series endings ever. Katniss is the only truly relatable character. Peeta and Gale are poorly written and just lain dumb. Snow is dull as a villain, and comes off as ridiculous.

The Contenders
11 "Toy Story" Rips Off "The Christmas Toy"

Not that toys coming to life was new when Henson did it but the story was his complete with the darkness to suck in older children and adults but without making it to scary for little ones. There was good reason to not give puppets same sentients other toys had in toy story. Shiney new toy potentially usurping old favorite. Space toy doesn't know it's a toy. Just few examples of things taken from the Christmas toy.

Not that toys coming to life is new concept but toy story plot oddly similar to plot of the Christmas toy but without the stakes

Actually Toy Story Did Rip Off Christmas Toy because Toy Story came out 1995
Christmas Toy came out 1986
So it is a rip-off

12 "Monster High" Rips Off "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic"

Don't hate me. Even though MLP: Friendship is Magic is more of a T.V. Show and not a movie, I'm still calling it a rip off.

I don't get why.

13 "Mac and Me" Rips Off "E.T.The Extra-Terrestrial"

Of course everyone knows that.

14 "The Reef" Rips Off "Finding Nemo"

I hate this movie. Yeah, it's the worst movie I have seen (I hate it more than the GPK movie, Batman and Robin, Jack and Jill, The Last Airbender, Foodfight! Etc. )

I wouldn't say it was a rip off of Finding Nemo but in terms of looks... yeah except this movie has has horrible writing and animation (on par with Foodfight and Elf Bowling). The plot is a rip off of Karate Kid except the pacing is terrible, it makes no sense, it's nonsentical and repetitive.

15 "Sunday School Musical" Rips Off "High School Musical"

Who made Sunday School Musical lol. I'd rather say bring on High School Musical 4 East Meets West than watch this. The fourth film should've really been College Years. Possibly Biblical songs. "You are my Adam." "Sinners go to Hell, believers go to Heaven."

It Made by a guy that ripped off other films

16 "Friday the 13th" Rips Off "Halloween"

"A Nightmare On Elm Street" rips off "Halloween"
"Scream" rips off "Halloween"
"My Bloody Valentine" rips off "Halloween"
"Prom Night" rips off "Halloween"
Happy Birthday to Me
Child's Play
I Know What You Did Last Summer
The Burning
Maniac
Sleepaway Camp

"Halloween" rips off "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre"
and Black Christmas
They all rip off Psycho

It's a GENRE.

That does explain some things

17 “Tappy Toes” Rips Off “Happy Feet”

This is the only one that I can confirm. It was designed to be that way.

18 "The Lion King" Rips Off "Kimba the White Lion"

And Kimba rips off Babar the Elephant King which was a 1931 book that had more adaptions then stupid overrated Kimba! Who's the ripoff now, weeaboos?

This is so true.

19 "Kill Bill" Rips Off "Lady Snow Blood"
20 "Critters" Rips Off "Gremlins"

And there are other movies some that you have never even heard of like Hobgoblins Munchies and Beasties.

Well, the Critters weren't formed from a cute and gentle creature :-/

21 "Godzilla" Rips Off "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms"

Actually this is true. Crazy huh? Don't believe me? Go do Some research.

22 "King Kong" Rips Off "The Lost World"
23 "Spider's Web: a Pig's Tale" Rips Off "Charlotte's Web"
24 "A Car's Life: Sparky's Big Adventure" Rips Off "Cars"
25 "Bug Bites: an Ant's Life" Rips Off "A Bug's Life"
