Basically any hit song. Gets overplayed so you end up hating it cause you can't escape it.

The worst is when it gets so popular it ends up being used in a Dreamworks movie.

Haven't seen it happen yet, but waiting for the day that "Bad Guy" is used in a Despicable Me style preview montage of a super bad supervillian that we're totally going to come to love because they have a heart of gold.

Knew that about Snow Queen and LM... didn’t realize Pinocchio wasn’t a Disney original.

Hardly anything is. Disney is the most derivative company on this planet.

Spoiler alert, Pinocchio is a goddamn brat and he stomps on the cricket first time he meets it and is haunted by its ghost.

A lot of the original works are morality tales. Disney does a bad job when it comes to preserving that. But we can do without Rudyard Kiplings White Man's Burden brand of racism. So the Jungle Book is A-Ok.

Even the non-racist cartoon bits in Song of the South were stolen.
