* Good luck finding a ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' fan who pays attention to the {{Retcon}}s about how Matoran and every other living thing in the "Matoran Universe" are supposed to be mindless automatons and how being individuals with personality was just a glitch in their AI. Similarly, paying attention to the retcon inducing universal [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexual}} asexuality]] and NoHuggingNoKissing is a rarity (though not unheard of), all the more so since the ''Mata Nui Online Game'' and the ''UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash'' animations, the early material establishing the Matoran's capability to love, is widely considered some of the fandom's favourite parts of the story.

*** Accept only ''VII'' and ''X''. They have more dramatic plots than the other sequels, and are the only ones to connect to the original film.

* ''WesternAnimation/MegamindVsTheDoomSyndicate'' (and, by extension, ''WesternAnimation/MegamindRules'') got this treatment by the fans of the original movie. A lot of people prefer to not consider this movie at all for various factors, such as the various retcons in Megamind's backstories, changing his voice actor, worse animation and humor, and a lot of unnecessary additions to the franchise in general.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2SimbasPride'' got hit with it because part of the fan base really liked the expanded continuity of the “Six New Adventures” book series and got disappointed when this wasn’t used as the film’s basis.

* ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'': Due to the... [[{{Understatement}} controversial]] nature of the ending (with a considerable amount of the fanbase deriding it for breaking the original movie's aesop and turning Vanellope into a DesignatedHero) some fans preferred that the events of this movie did not happen at all, or at least felt like the movie could have ended on a different note.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOnTheRun''
** While most fans don't mind seeing how [=SpongeBob=] and Gary met, the mere ''mention'' of ''WesternAnimation/KampKoral'' was enough to get their blood boiling, since that project was widely despised before it even aired due to ignoring the wishes of the late Stephen Hillenburg, who didn’t want any spin-offs at all (even though he actually said he didn't ''see'' any spinoffs).[[note]] It's worth noting that Hillenburg was not involved in the current incarnation of the movie. The unfinished [=SpongeBob=] sequel directed by Paul Tibbitt (with alien cat villains as the main plot) was the one with Hillenburg's involvement; it began development in 2015 and was shelved after it failed to be green-lit by Paramount. There was no change in directors or massive overhaul of the story; rather, the first project was canned, and a second one (''Sponge on the Run'') started with no relation to the first.[[/note]]
** While the show doesn't really have any strict continuity, many fans do not like the retcon of how [=SpongeBob=] and Sandy met with the movie making it so that they met at camp as kids, completely ignoring her debut in the second half of the very first episode (as well as the fact that she's from Texas). Not only that but they also retconned how [=SpongeBob=] met Patrick, Mr. Krabs and Squidward, completely ignoring the fact that [=SpongeBob=] knew Patrick since they were babies, met Squidward when he moved into the neighborhood as shown in "Truth or Square" and that he met Mr. Krabs in ''the first episode of the show'' which was him applying to the Krusty Krab. Even Mrs. Puff falls into this because the movie shows [=SpongeBob=] meeting her at camp as as a kid even though "Doing Time" showed him meeting her when she opened her boating school. All of this made many old time fans distance themselves from this movie even more.
** TheReveal that the Krabby Patty secret formula is effectively not one and how they're made (by [=SpongeBob=]) is what makes them special, which goes against the entire series's lore about them including much of ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie the first movie]]''. Though to be fair, some episodes have alluded to the patties only being as good as the cook's ability to make them, with Squidward's and King Neptune's (in "Neptune's Spatula") being particularly horrible.

* A bigger case regarding ''Toy Story'' was ''Westernanimation/{{Lightyear}}''. Fans of ''Westernanimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'' already refused to acknowledge that as what inspired the Buzz toy. And then when the movie actually came out, even many who liked ''Lightyear'' prefer not to think of this as being what Andy saw in 1995 to make him want a Buzz Lightyear toy, arguing ''Lightyear'' doesn't feel like something (especially something MerchandiseDriven) that would be released in the 90s. To these fans, if ''Lightyear'' exists in the ''Toy Story'' universe, it is a DarkerAndEdgier reboot of whatever Andy saw when he was a kid that would be released in his adult years.

* Many of those who like ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' deny the existence of the sequel ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars 2}}'' or the spin-off movie ''WesternAnimation/{{Planes}}''. Some will accept ''Cars 2'', but ignore ''Planes'' and the ''Mater's Tall Tales'' animated shorts, or any combination of the above.

* It isn't uncommon to find ''{{Franchise/Shrek}}'' fans who ignore the [[WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird theatrical third]] and [[WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter fourth films]] during rewatches due to the leading opinion that the first two are the best. More lenient fans tend to only skip the third film as it doesn't advance the story in ways that can't be understood when they are reintroduced in the fourth.
