2002 May 20, Timmy Ramone, “"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" -- A Response”, in rec.arts.animation (Usenet):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.
2003 July 10, LordofTheBidding, “It's true, Brother Bear is the final nail”, in rec.arts.animation (Usenet):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.
2008 April 9, Juan F. Lara, “Re: Disney announces 10 new film projects”, in rec.arts.animation (Usenet):No, he shut down the production of cheapquels. These Tink films are "Disney Fairies" franchise products instead.
