Sometimes, a work becomes a surprise success and various imitators are made in its wake, usually by different creators. But on a few occasions, the same creators (or at least, the parent company) will make something that appears to be a transparent ripoff of their own success. This is different from Spiritual Successor in that the series are usually made in the same time period and that there is no reason the newer product couldn't have used the same license as the older work. There are many reasons for this. It may be because of the executive's belief that lazily changing the setting will in itself attract more viewers, milking a cash cow without making it seem too obvious or simply an author being unable to shake off his Signature Style. This isn't simply a matter of recurring tropes, such as those defining a genre, making up a Signature Style, or inspiring a Spiritual Licensee. The "plagiarized" work should be the same on a conceptual level, to the point that if it was the work of a different creator there could be a lawsuit in the works. A lot of what's on Recycled IN SPACE! is an example of this. Compare and contrast Expy (which is when an author recycles one or more characters but not the rest of the story), Follow the Leader, Better by a Different Name, and Recycled Script. |

The plots of Shakespeare's Othello and Cymbeline are nigh-identical until the climax. Both feature a forbidden love between a woman of high standing and an inadequate man, who is then convinced that his love is unfaithful by a wicked Italian, and decides to kill her as a result. Bonus points for the Italian antagonists being called Iago and Iachimo, the latter possibly meaning 'little Iago'. | |

Speaking of Looney Tunes, there were a few instances where this trope came into play. When Harman and Ising left the studio for MGM in 1933, they took Bosko with them, and had to cook up a replacement called Buddy, who was more-or-less Bosko in all but name and design. When Buddy was retired in 1935 due to poor reception, director Jack King played the new replacement, Beans the Cat, as a feline version of Buddy (this does not apply for the Beans shorts directed by Friz Freleng, who gave him a more mischievous streak). Ben Hardaway admitted that Happy Rabbit (Bugs Bunny's prototype) was just Daffy Duck as a rabbit. |

Taegukgi and My Way, two Korean war movies from director Kang Je-gyu. War films sharing the same themes, cinematography in their big battle scenes, camera angles and shots, starring Jang Dong-gun as the protagonist who became estranged with the secondary character (respectively, in each film, his brother and best friend) where he ultimately pulls a Heroic Sacrifice in both movies for his brother / friend. Both movies even climaxes with large-scale battle scenes in some trenches, with a CG Allied plane getting shot down by ground artillery before crashing on some unfortunate soldiers. | |

Disney acquired the film rights to Bedknob and Broomstick to use as a backup in case they couldn't acquire the film rights to Mary Poppins. After the film adaptation of Mary Poppins proved to be a smash, they went ahead and made Bedknobs and Broomsticks anyway, leaving them with two films about British children under the care of a woman with magic powers. Some of the songs in Bedknobs were originally written for Poppins but were unused. Both films also starred David Tomlinson, though this might have been a bit of a Casting Gag. | |

Other web film critics like YourMovieSucks.org and Screen Rant have point out that a lot of Pixar movies have the same formula with a basic premise: The protagonist gets separated from a loved one alongside another character that he/she dislikes and they have to make an adventurous journey until they both learn to respect each other and rejoin with the loved one and/or the rest of the cast. | |

"Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast is very similar to The Little Mermaid's "Les Poissons". Conversely, "Beyond My Wildest Dreams" and "One Step Closer" from the stage musical of The Little Mermaid resemble "Belle" and "Beauty and the Beast", respectively. Fittingly, the latter is a Dance of Romance number like its B&B counterpart. In turn, "Evermore" from Beauty and the Beast (2017) sounds strikingly similar to "One Step Closer". | |

Gilbert and Sullivan plundered Gilbert's old "Bab Ballads" for characters, themes, and plot ideas for many of their earlier comic operas including H.M.S. Pinafore, Patience and Iolanthe. The Sorcerer is based on an earlier short story Gilbert wrote titled "An Elixir of Love" while Princess Ida was based on his blank-verse farce The Princesses which itself was a parody/adaptation of Tennyson's poem "The Princess". The song "Climbing Over Rocky Mountain in The Pirates of Penzance'' was taken from their first collaboration Thespis and consequently remains one of the only songs from that show whose musical score survived. | |

Some of the music in Chess borrows from songs written by composers Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus for ABBA. In particular, the chorus of "I Know Him So Well" was based on the chorus of "I Am An A" and the chorus of "Anthem" used the chord structures from the guitar solo from "Our Last Summer". Their musical Kristina från Duvemåla features some music recycled from Andersson's solo albums. The most noticeable is "Ljusa Kvällar Om Våren," which is based on the second segment of the titular suite from Klinga Mina Klockor. |

In Robin Hood (1973), Little John and Lady Kluck dance like Baloo and King Louie in The Jungle Book (1967). Robin and Marian dance like Duchess and Thomas in The Aristocats. Marian dances with a pig, an owl, a rabbit and a dog in a manner similar to the dance that Snow White and the Dwarfs do in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. An elephant sounding off like a trumpet is stopped by Lady Kluck, like Colonel Hathi stopping a Jungle Patrol elephant in The Jungle Book (1967). Sir Hiss uses Hypnotic Eyes similar to Kaa in The Jungle Book (1967). | |

The first couple of American Dad! episodes had Cutaway Gags not unlike its more popular sister show Family Guy. Since the premise and art style are already very similar, those kind of jokes were dropped to make the show more unique. More prominently, The Cleveland Show, which could be described as "Family Guy, but black". | |

Doctor Who Douglas Adams lifted plot points from two Doctor Who arcs that he wrote, "City of Death" and the unfinished storyline "Shada" to make his novel Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Terrance Dicks: When writing Doctor Who novels, he tended to recycle stories he wrote for the TV series. In one case (the novel World Game) he literally cuts and pastes large sections from a previous novel. |

In The Trial of the Chicago 7, an FBI undercover agent ingratiates herself with Jerry Rubin partly by buying him a drink but mostly with her joke "Do you know why they eat only one egg for breakfast in France?

Zipi y Zape: In the late 80's, Escobar started a new series about, wait for it... two brothers with just a few years between them, with different hair color, called Terre and Moto (Terremoto, "Earthquake") who, huh, were mischievous but kind and smart and went to school and had adventures. Apparently, Escobar had a falling out with his old publisher but they had the rights to Zipi y Zape so Escobar decided to start a new IP as similar as possible to his old one. The new series wasn't exactly successful and Escobar was back to drawing Zipi y Zape before long. | |

After having extreme success with The Hollywood Squares (1966-80), creator Merrill Heatter designed two later game shows that shared the motif of trivia questions being asked of a celebrity panel: Battlestars (1981-82) and All-Star Blitz (1985). The former was almost literally Recycled IN SPACE!, and the latter combined the general idea with a word game. | |

A chase scene in The Jungle Book (1967) between Baloo, King Louie and Mowgli is similar to a chase scene with Mole, Water Rat, Mr. Winkie and the Weasels in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. The wolf cubs move together and wag their tails like the puppies in 101 Dalmatians. Mowgli returns to the wolf den, and gets licked by wolves, like Arthur returns to the castle, and gets licked by dogs, in The Sword in the Stone. The elephant Colonel Hathi is based on the elephant Goliath I from the animated short Goliath II, where some elephant scenes are taken, including the elephants stopping and piling up. | |

Notoriously common in the Baroque era, before copyright was invented. For instance, Johann Sebastian Bach reused both the melody and arrangement of his own secular cantata ''Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten!'' (Sound, ye drums! Resound, ye trumpets!) for his Christmas Oratorio. The only thing that was changed was the lyrics (not written by Bach, but a hired poet, in this case probably a man known as Picander). The cantata is now mostly known with the Christmas lyrics Jauchzet, frohlocket. (Rejoice and be merry!) Shorter examples of such 'plagiarism' are known as musical parody. Quite a few of Bach's works use musical parody — for example, a short snippet of a recitative movement of one of Bach's cantatas often turns up in another recitative from a different Bach cantata. |

Two years after the success of the original Earth Defense Force, series publisher D3 released Simple 2000 Vol. 78: The Great Space War(aka: Space War Attack), a flight action game that, like EDF, has the player fighting a variety of giant bugs, Kaijus and alien aircrafts and with a similar goofy and low-budget vibes. Though it is not officially considered part of the series (The game has a different developernote It was made by Bit Town, the developers of the Sidewinder series, from which the game recycles a lot of assets and no EDF branding or any recognizable characters or elements from the series) but the intent to apply the EDF formula to another genre of game is obvious enough. | |

Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild" and "Faster Than the Speed of Life" are another example of songs from the same album that sound almost identical. Both songs were provided by the same outside writer, Mars Bonfire: rumor had it that the song was specifically written to capitalize on the success of "Born To Be Wild", but lead singer John Kay thought it was too similar and refused to perform on it, explaining why drummer Jerry Edmonton sang it instead. Steppenwolf's 1969 hit "Move Over", co-written by their producer Gabriel Mekler, had its melody recycled by Mekler for the 1971 Instrumental hit "Cool Aid" by Paul Humphrey, which Mekler produced and released on his own label. |

In 1995, Atari Games released Area 51 which is a Light Gun Game that uses digitized actors for the characters and 3D for everything else. Two years later, they released another light-gun shooter named Maximum Force which had a different theme but was pretty much identical otherwise. Both games used the COJag (Coin Operated Jaguar) system board, and many of the machines ended up converted into 2-in-1 machines with both Area 51 and Maximum Force. | |

When My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic became an unexpected success, Hasbro followed that up with Littlest Pet Shop. Also animated using Flash by the same studio and using the same group of voice actors, it also shares some writers (but not all of them). In both shows, the central character is an intellectual young woman, fashion is a major theme, one of her friends is a pink energetic goofball, there are a lot of musical sequences (sharing Daniel Ingram as a composer), and seasons end in a two-parter. It was not able to match Friendship Is Magic in popularity, but it still lasted until the network changed from The Hub to Discovery Family. That being said, the different writers and their opposite directions in its fantasy elements (Friendship Is Magic has magic permeating the whole setting, but Littlest Pet Shop is limited to one character and her mother being able to talk to animals) resulted in the two shows feeling very different from each other. | |

The style of the covers on Twisted Sister's Christmas album are influenced from some of their older songs. For instance, "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" is done in the style of "We're Not Gonna Take It", and even lampshades it by using a part of its solo too. "We're Not Gonna Take It" itself already sounds a lot like "O Come All Ye Faithful", hence the remake. |

Several scenes in The Avengers (2012) mirror scenes from Joss Whedon's television series. Most notably, the scene where Loki sows the seeds of doubt and dissension in the minds of the heroes, causing them to bicker and fight while he's locked up beneath them, recreates a scene from the Angel episode "Soulless" when Angelus does the same thing to Angel's companions from his prison cell. | |

Some reviews accused Fossil Fighters of being an in-house Pokémon clone from Nintendo, since they're both Mons games—and the initial evil you fight is very similar to Team Rocket. However, aside from that, there's not a whole lot that the two games share mechanics-wise, and even story-wise after about the halfway point. | |

"Cryin'" and "Crazy" by Aerosmith not only sound uncannily alike but also even have slightly similar names (both being titled a single, five-letter word beginning with "CR"). Not only that, they have virtually the same music video as well. Alicia Silverstone goes on delinquent sprees in both, though in the latter she is joined by Steven Tyler's then-unknown daughter Liv. |

Quake and Doom.

In both stories a high-school protagonist reunites with his forgotten childhood friend who has been the subject of secret experimentation due to her supernatural powers, has an evil split personality and is now on the run from a shadowy organisation which is using other ability users to hunt her down, some of which eventually join the group of protagonists and form a harem. Like Elfen Lied it is also filled with tons of gore and gratuitous nudity. | |

Scientists (archaeologists instead of paleontologists) are revealed that a Corrupt Corporate Executive has developed a groundbreaking new technology that might render their discipline pointless (cloned dinosaurs vs time travel), and are given the chance to explore it safely. However, a corrupted worker of the project lifts the security measures, putting everyone's lives at risk. Eventually, the project is destroyed and the chairman who developed it for profit is killed. | |

Of course, since Mighty No. 9 flopped and was followed shortly thereafter by Mega Man 11 (which was more successful and actually released by Capcom) this was all for nothing.note While technically Inafune did not design Mega Man himself, he was more or less the creative director of his games | |

Highlander III: The Sorcerer almost feels like the original 1986 movie re-tooled into a seedy exploitation film. Both are about Connor facing a powerful and evil immortal that killed his mentor in the distant past with a climax involving a kidnapped loved one. Kane even re-enacts the iconic scene where the Kurgan scares Brenda by driving like a maniac, only with Connor's adopted son. Not to mention Alex basically being an Expy of Brenda that fills the same plot role of discovering an out of place artifact (the armor and sword on Kane's dead henchmen in this case) that leads to her finding Connor and falling in love with him. | |

The band Mystic Moods Orchestra recycled "The First Day of Forever", from their album Awakening (1973), for the US opening theme (also aired in some other Western countries) of the Japanese series Spectreman, under the request of the producer of the US airing. The band recorded a slightly modified and shortened version of the song's instrumental background. It got new lyrics from Gregory Sil, then the band recorded the new version as "Spectreman's Theme". | |

Nickelback have been accused of this in most of their songs, especially "How You Remind Me" and "Someday." A mashup layering those two specific songs over each other went viral for a spell, though some editing and speeding up of tempos was needed to make the two songs fit together completely seamlessly. | |

One of the biggest causes of controversy between fans of Dragonforce and non-fans is how much they're guilty of this. The nonfans will go as far as to say they have one song, which they make minor key changes on and present as a different one. | |
