[Interesting Trope] Media Company Ripping off their own Stuff

\*\*The Owl House and Hexed\*\*: When the trailer for Disney’s upcoming film \*Hexed\* dropped recently, many observed that it seemed suspiciously similar to the Disney Channel’s own show \*The Owl House\*. Though many suspect it won’t have the lesbian romance Owl House is famous for and as such an attempt by Disney to distance themselves from such things.

\*\*Treasure Planet and Disney Star Wars\*\*: \*Treasure Planet\* was a rather underrated Disney film from the early 2000s. Oddly enough Disney developed a habit of ripping it off in its \*Star Wars\* shows.

\*Star Wars Rebels\* introduced the purrgil, whale-like, space born creatures that strongly resemble the orcus galacticus that appear in \*Treasure Planet\*.

The Arcana Star Map on \*Ahsoka\* is a dead ringer for the map in \*Treasure Planet\*.

Then there’s \*Skeleton Crew\*. You got a Captain Silbo who’s like John Silver, filling a very similar role. You got robots who’ve had their memories erased by their previous captains in SM-33 and B.E.N. And you have alien elephantine child characters in Neel and Ethan. (Though Ethan was from one of \*Treasure Planet’s\* deleted scenes. He appears in the video game in any case.)
