Examples

“This was by no means a Disney "cheapquel," and it's amazing just how far the old "House of Animation" has let the ball drop on "2-D" animation -- only to have it picked up by the crew at Dreamworks.^([sic])”

“I just can't get over how they directly lifted the scene from Lion King where Simba's father appears in the clouds! And the stampede! I mean, the similarities are laughable, this comes across almost as bad as Dizzney's cheapquels.”

“No, he shut down the production of cheapquels. These Tink films are "Disney Fairies" franchise products instead.”
