Line 7:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Much of ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Evangelion: 1.0 You Are Not Alone]]'' is reanimated shot-for-shot from the original TV series. The most prominent exception is the (much-improved) battle against Ramiel.
* The 2022 anime version of ''[[RWBY]]'' called ''[[RWBY: Ice Queendom]]'' appears -- judging from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjmBDfulaGk the trailer released in Spring 2022] -- to be a shot-for-shot remake of the original's first volume., only with a [[Perspective Flip]] that puts it from Weiss' point of view.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 21:
* ''Let Me In'', [[Hammer Horror]]'s [[Setting Update|Americanized]] version of ''[[Let the Right One In]]'' is virtually identical to the original. The only differences aside from cosmetic changes are actually giving a date, an [[In Medias Res]] prologue for about a minute, and removing a scene where the protagonist visits his father's homosexual lover (and removing most of the rest of the overtones).
* ''[[The Debt]]'' (American, 2011 remake), features an identical plot, the same characters ([[Dub Name Change|some names changed]]). The only significant difference is the pace; the American version features more atmosphere shots, and stretches scenes out more than the original did, and adds a single action scene.
 
== Music Videos ==
* When fanvids are "remastered", it usually means this. Usually done by the original vidder, when she obtains superior copies of the source being vidded or superior technology with which to vid (e.g., digital vs. videotape).
* [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] Loves This Trope. On at least two occasions, he even got permission from the original artists to use their sets (''Smells Like Nirvana'', a parody of Nirvana's ''Smells Like Teen Spirit'', was filmed on the same set, and ''Fat'', a parody of the [[Michael Jackson]] song ''Bad'', was filmed on the same set as another parody version of the video from the ''[[Moonwalker]]'' feature film).
 
== Live-Action TV ==
Line 32 ⟶ 28:
* And speaking of growing the beard, ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' had a tendency in its early years to copy episodes from [[Star Trek: The Original Series|the original series]]. The most blatant example is "[[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Recap/S1/E02 The Naked Now|The Naked Now]]", which is virtually identical to "[[Star Trek/Recap/S1/E04 The Naked Time|The Naked Time]]" aside from being [[Hotter and Sexier]] and with [[Creator's Pet|Wesley Crusher]] saving the day.
* The pilot of the US version [[Skins]], was a Shot for Shot Remake of the British pilot, almost down to the letter. Needless to say, [[It Got Worse|it didn't get much better after that]], and was canceled due to a negative reaction from [[Moral Guardians]] and fans of the original.

Line 47:
** Towards the end of their tenure at MGM they also did remakes of some of their [[Tom and Jerry]] shorts to make them compatible with Cinemascope. These remakes are done in [[Limited Animation]], unlike the originals.
* The 1942 [[Popeye]] short "Me Musical Nephews" was remade in 1950 as "Riot in Rhythm".
* ''[[Animaniacs]]'':
** ''[[Animaniacs]]''One episode featured a parody of Disney's ''[[The Lion King]]'' that for some reason actually copied scenes from the song "Circle of Life" at the very beginning of that film. Here are comparisons between the two versions:
*** African sunrise
*** Birds flying over river
*** Zebras and [[Misplaced Wildlife|Leafcutter ants]]
*** Approaching herd of elephants
*** Mt. Kilimanjaro
*** Animals migrating toward Pride Rock
*** Pride Rock (Zazu is a generic white bird in ''Animaniacs'' version)
*** Rafiki/Yakko moving through crowds of animals
*** Animals giving way for Rafiki/Yakko
*** Rafiki/Yakko climbing Pride Rock
*** Mufasa and Sarabi with Simba (portrayed in ''Animaniacs'' as [[Misplaced Wildlife|tigers)]]
** Closeup of baby Simba
*** Rafiki/YakkoCloseup withof baby Simba
*** Rafiki/Yakko holding up babywith Simba
** Overhead view of Pride Rock
*** AnimalsOverhead belowview of Pride Rock
*** OverheadAnimals view ofbelow Pride Rock

*** Sun shining down on Pride Rock
** In the ''Slappy Squirrel'' short [[Bambi (Disney film)|"Bumbie's Mom]], while not exactly shot-for-shot, the animation of Bumper the rabbit giggling and falling over looks like it was copied directly from animation of Thumper.
