The pilot was slightly-written to work as well as add an OriginsEpisode. The second and especially the third were reworked much more extensively to tie them together, surprisingly making them a bit ''darker'' by giving sympathetic traits to a villain that ends up destroyed. Also added was a ''Digimon''-themed ''WesternAnimation/AngelaAnaconda'' short at the start.

* Carl Macek was particularly infamous for this, leading to the term {{Macekre}}:
** Macek's most famous effort was ''Anime/{{Robotech}}'', a three-way hybridization between ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', ''Anime/SuperDimensionCavalrySouthernCross'' and ''Anime/GenesisClimberMospeada''. These three series are unrelated, and the script was mostly from ''Macross''. ''Robotech'' made several changes throughout, including censoring nudity (but not all [[KillEmAll the violence]]), changing characters' ethnic names from Japanese to English, an original "{{narrator}}" who assumed ViewersAreGoldfish, and cutting off a major ''Macross'' sequel hook. Anime purists hated it, but it was a commercial success in the U.S. and was indeed credited for creating new anime fans. A subsequent {{Remaster}} in 2004 restored much of the original Japanese content, including scenes of violence and nudity. ''Robotech'' even got a RecursiveImport in Japan (which was credited for reviving interest in the then-moribund ''Southern Cross'').
** Macek also took Part 1 of ''Anime/Megazone23'', edited in some ''Southern Cross'' footage, wrote in his own script, and called the result ''Robotech: The Movie''. The script needed drastic alterations too, because the ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' creators didn't want any similarities to their own film, ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove''. The movie was received much worse than ''Robotech'' itself; Macek's distributor couldn't get it into theaters in the U.S. because of its tenuous connection to ''Robotech'', and it was still too violent for children (possibly as a result of the action coming from poorly shoehorned ''Southern Cross'' footage). He later produced a proper uncut dub of Part 1, which was better received.
** Macek merged the completely unrelated ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' and ''Anime/QueenMillennia'' to create the rarely seen ''Captain Harlock and the Queen of a Thousand Years''.
* ''Anime/{{Digimon}}'': The second season's NonSerialMovie, ''Digimon Hurricane Touchdown!/The Golden Digimentals'', was also combined with two short anime movies about the kids from the first season, with a lot of reworking having to be done to cram the continuities together.
* ''Animation/SpacethunderKids'' was edited together with footage from no less than seven different Korean cartoons: ''Savior of the Earth'', ''Defenders of Space - Phoenix-bot Phoenix King'', ''King Robot'', ''Protectors of Universe - Super Express Mazinger 7'', ''Solar Adventure'', ''Animation/SpaceTransformers - Micro-Commando Diatron-5'', ''Super Mazinger 3'' and ''Iron Man Trio''.
* ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' was created by merging two unrelated CombiningMecha series, ''Anime/GoLion'' and ''Anime/DairuggerXV''. However, while the plot changes were considerable, the interference between the two combined stories was minimal, and each occurred ''almost'' in its own continuity. The biggest change was a NeverSayDie moment; Sven, who dies in the original, barely survives in the dub. This worked out for the best, because [[HesJustHiding there was such a backlash]] against his death in the original that they introduced his BackupTwin, which the dub could [[{{Woolseyism}} conveniently say was Sven all along]].

* When the original ''Film/{{Godzilla| 1954}}'' was exported to America, it had original footage of an American journalist, Steve Martin, spliced in, and was released as ''Film/{{Godzilla King of the Monsters| 1956}}''. [[RecursiveTranslation This version was later shown in Japan]], and Steve Martin proved surprisingly popular among Japanese fans.
* This was the main method of localizing the Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies. Godfrey Ho was infamous for getting cheap, low-budget Hong Kong films, cutting them to ribbons, and inserting new footage featuring Caucasian actors for distribution in the West. Among his films are ''Ninja Thunderbolt'', ''Clash of the Ninjas'', ''Full Metal Ninja'', and ''Zombie vs. Ninja''. As you could tell, {{ninja}}s were a recurring theme, although later efforts included a kickboxing flick and a "superhero" called Catman. He's also done it at least once in the other direction, adding new footage using Asian actors to the Cynthia Rothrock vehicle ''Undefeatable'' to create the movie ''Bloody Mary Killer'' for distribution in China.
* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_with_Cracked_Fingers Master with Cracked Fingers]]'' was a 1979 film cut together from different early Creator/JackieChan films, as a means to cash in on his rising fame. It primarily takes footage from the little-seen 1973 film ''Little Tiger of Canton'', but featured several newly-filmed scenes with a [[FakeShemp double]] playing Jackie's character (badly disguised with a blindfold).
* ''Film/InTheAftermathAngelsNeverSleep'' is a heavily edited version of the Japanese animated movie ''Anime/AngelsEgg'' by Creator/MamoruOshii, trimmed down to half of its original length and framed with 45 minutes of live action footage.

* This is how ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' became ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', with the battle footage spliced into entirely new stories. The first three seasons of the latter took three completely separate seasons of the former and reworked it into one "[[StoryArc mega-arc]]", and the later incarnations seem to only be superficially similar to their originals, with the motives of the characters and some story elements being completely changed. Of course, ''Power Rangers'' was never intended to be and doesn't claim to be a dub or reenactment of its ''Super Sentai'' parent, despite borrowing suits and battle footage. That said, a few seasons are actualy faithful recreations of the original series' plot (or sometimes a ShotForShotRemake, like ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' or ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai''), and a few others that made some changes that don't quite make sense. There's [[LongRunner a lot of them]] out there, each with their own quirks.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** To capitalise on the success of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', Saban licensed ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' and turned it into ''"Saban's Series/MaskedRider"'': a gay old [[AnAesop Aesop-tastic]] romp starring a [[HumanAliens superhero alien]] [[HumansThroughAlienEyes learning about Earth culture]] with his adoptive American family. Later editing would get so shoddy that at times, you could clearly see the original Japanese actors, or the fact that the footage they were splicing in was from two seperate movies (''Film/KamenRiderZO'' and ''Film/KamenRiderJ'') starring completely different heroes.
** 13 years later, Saban tried again, making ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'' out of ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' in much the same way. This one did much better (at least among its PeripheryDemographic), even winning a Daytime Emmy for stunt choreography. But its ratings meant not enough of the ''intended'' demographic were watching to keep it alive. The last two episodes weren't even aired, though were made available online. Interestingly, ''Dragon Knight'' became a RecursiveImport and did quite well back in Japan. It even got a continuation... sadly, in the form of a book nobody in the U.S. will probably ever see.
* ''Series/VRTroopers'' was made from three different ''Series/MetalHeroes'' series: ''Series/ChoujinkiMetalder'', ''Series/JikuuSenshiSpielban'', and ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider''. Somehow, having ''three'' shows to draw on didn't stop it from [[RecycledScript recycling plots]].
* After ''VR Troopers'', Saban licensed two more ''Metal Heros'' series, ''Series/JuukouBFighter'' and ''Series/BFighterKabuto'' and turned them into ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'', apparently aimed at a younger demographic than ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and being more light-hearted, and changing the story utterly from the Japanese originals.
* Creator/DICEntertainment, seeing the success Saban was having, licensed Creator/TsuburayaProductions' ''Series/DenkouChoujinGridman'' to make ''Series/{{Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad}}''; much like Saban's shows, DIC took the fight scenes from ''Gridman'' and combined them with original footage. Notably, Tsuburaya themselves had direct involvement with the production, resulting in some retained plot elements, similar characterisations and reused sound effects.

* Italian toy company [=GIG=] once took the ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}''/''M.U.S.C.L.E.'', ''N.I.N.J.A.'' and ''Fistful of Aliens'' toylines and sold them as a single toyline named ''Exogini'', with completely new backstories (the first two series, released in the late eighties, presented the characters as aliens from a mysterious planet planning to invade Earth, while the last series, released in the late nineties, was presented as a civil war between the inhabitants of Mars, Mercury, and Venus). When ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' introduced the Decoy figures as an extra packed in with the regular toys, the Italian release [[DolledUpInstallment passed them off as]] a crossover with the ''Exogini'' line.
* Infamously, Hasbro was guilty of this when it came to ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', which was born out of mashing together two of Takara's unrelated franchises, ''Diaclone'' and ''Micro Change'', and then giving the whole thing a completely new backstory, when importing them to be released into the U.S. However, Takara loved the change so much that they eventually dropped both original franchises and [[RecursiveImport imported the]] ''[[RecursiveImport Transformers]]'' [[RecursiveImport lore back into Japan]].

** "Winx Club: The Fate of Bloom" combined episodes 1, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 22 from Season 1, ending with Bloom unlocking her fairy transformation (which originally happened at the end of episode 3).
** "Winx Club: Revenge of the Trix" combined episodes 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 of the same season, and "Winx Club: The Battle for Magix" combined episodes 19, 20, 22 23, 24, 25 and 26.

This worked out for the best, because [[HesJustHiding there was such a backlash]] against his death in the original that they introduced his BackupTwin, which the dub could [[{{Woolseyism}} conveniently say was Sven all along]].

* When the original ''Film/{{Godzilla| 1954}}'' was exported to America, it had original footage of an American journalist, Steve Martin, spliced in, and was released as ''Film/{{Godzilla King of the Monsters| 1956}}''. [[RecursiveTranslation This version was later shown in Japan]], and Steve Martin proved surprisingly popular among Japanese fans.
* This was the main method of localizing the Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies. Godfrey Ho was infamous for getting cheap, low-budget Hong Kong films, cutting them to ribbons, and inserting new footage featuring Caucasian actors for distribution in the West. Among his films are ''Ninja Thunderbolt'', ''Clash of the Ninjas'', ''Full Metal Ninja'', and ''Zombie vs. Ninja''. As you could tell, {{ninja}}s were a recurring theme, although later efforts included a kickboxing flick and a "superhero" called Catman. He's also done it at least once in the other direction, adding new footage using Asian actors to the Cynthia Rothrock vehicle ''Undefeatable'' to create the movie ''Bloody Mary Killer'' for distribution in China.
* ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_with_Cracked_Fingers Master with Cracked Fingers]]'' was a 1979 film cut together from different early Creator/JackieChan films, as a means to cash in on his rising fame. It primarily takes footage from the little-seen 1973 film ''Little Tiger of Canton'', but featured several newly-filmed scenes with a [[FakeShemp double]] playing Jackie's character (badly disguised with a blindfold).
* ''Film/InTheAftermathAngelsNeverSleep'' is a heavily edited version of the Japanese animated movie ''Anime/AngelsEgg'' by Creator/MamoruOshii, trimmed down to half of its original length and framed with 45 minutes of live action footage.

* This is how ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' became ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', with the battle footage spliced into entirely new stories. The first three seasons of the latter took three completely separate seasons of the former and reworked it into one "[[StoryArc mega-arc]]", and the later incarnations seem to only be superficially similar to their originals, with the motives of the characters and some story elements being completely changed. Of course, ''Power Rangers'' was never intended to be and doesn't claim to be a dub or reenactment of its ''Super Sentai'' parent, despite borrowing suits and battle footage. That said, a few seasons are actualy faithful recreations of the original series' plot (or sometimes a ShotForShotRemake, like ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'' or ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai''), and a few others that made some changes that don't quite make sense. There's [[LongRunner a lot of them]] out there, each with their own quirks.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** To capitalise on the success of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', Saban licensed ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX'' and turned it into ''"Saban's Series/MaskedRider"'': a gay old [[AnAesop Aesop-tastic]] romp starring a [[HumanAliens superhero alien]] [[HumansThroughAlienEyes learning about Earth culture]] with his adoptive American family. Later editing would get so shoddy that at times, you could clearly see the original Japanese actors, or the fact that the footage they were splicing in was from two seperate movies (''Film/KamenRiderZO'' and ''Film/KamenRiderJ'') starring completely different heroes.
** 13 years later, Saban tried again, making ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight'' out of ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' in much the same way. This one did much better (at least among its PeripheryDemographic), even winning a Daytime Emmy for stunt choreography. But its ratings meant not enough of the ''intended'' demographic were watching to keep it alive. The last two episodes weren't even aired, though were made available online. Interestingly, ''Dragon Knight'' became a RecursiveImport and did quite well back in Japan. It even got a continuation... sadly, in the form of a book nobody in the U.S. will probably ever see.
* ''Series/VRTroopers'' was made from three different ''Series/MetalHeroes'' series: ''Series/ChoujinkiMetalder'', ''Series/JikuuSenshiSpielban'', and ''Series/SpaceSheriffShaider''. Somehow, having ''three'' shows to draw on didn't stop it from [[RecycledScript recycling plots]].
* After ''VR Troopers'', Saban licensed two more ''Metal Heros'' series, ''Series/JuukouBFighter'' and ''Series/BFighterKabuto'' and turned them into ''Series/{{Beetleborgs}}'', apparently aimed at a younger demographic than ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and being more light-hearted, and changing the story utterly from the Japanese originals.
* Creator/DICEntertainment, seeing the success Saban was having, licensed Creator/TsuburayaProductions' ''Series/DenkouChoujinGridman'' to make ''Series/{{Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad}}''; much like Saban's shows, DIC took the fight scenes from ''Gridman'' and combined them with original footage. Notably, Tsuburaya themselves had direct involvement with the production, resulting in some retained plot elements, similar characterisations and reused sound effects.

[[folder:Toys]]
* Italian toy company [=GIG=] once took the ''Manga/{{Kinnikuman}}''/''M.U.S.C.L.E.'', ''N.I.N.J.A.'' and ''Fistful of Aliens'' toylines and sold them as a single toyline named ''Exogini'', with completely new backstories (the first two series, released in the late eighties, presented the characters as aliens from a mysterious planet planning to invade Earth, while the last series, released in the late nineties, was presented as a civil war between the inhabitants of Mars, Mercury, and Venus). When ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' introduced the Decoy figures as an extra packed in with the regular toys, the Italian release [[DolledUpInstallment passed them off as]] a crossover with the ''Exogini'' line.
* Infamously, Hasbro was guilty of this when it came to ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', which was born out of mashing together two of Takara's unrelated franchises, ''Diaclone'' and ''Micro Change'', and then giving the whole thing a completely new backstory, when importing them to be released into the U.S. However, Takara loved the change so much that they eventually dropped both original franchises and [[RecursiveImport imported the]] ''[[RecursiveImport Transformers]]'' [[RecursiveImport lore back into Japan]].

[[folder:Web Video]]
* ''WebVideo/NinjaTheMissionForce'' is basically a parody of the Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies, using much the same technique but on apparently public-domain Western [[BMovie B-movies]]. Which are, of course [[GagDub Gag Dubs]], PlayedForLaughs.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'': When Nickelodeon re-dubbed and partially re-animated the Italian MagicalGirl series with a new voice cast, it streamlined Seasons 1 and 2 into specials, combining old and re-done footage from multiple episodes into one slightly-altered story:
** "Winx Club: The Fate of Bloom" combined episodes 1, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 22 from Season 1, ending with Bloom unlocking her fairy transformation (which originally happened at the end of episode 3).
** "Winx Club: Revenge of the Trix" combined episodes 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 of the same season, and "Winx Club: The Battle for Magix" combined episodes 19, 20, 22 23, 24, 25 and 26.
