All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXII

[Bob Schroeck]

Just a heads up -- Pregler Lupa is back from their tempban with an edit in the Mod Queue.  And does anyone have any idea what he's talking about when he says the Disney/Pixar film Inside Out 2 is a "Spiritual Licensee" to the Web Comic Scary Go Round?

Looked it up. Both stories share some themes, so the trope could feasibly apply. Otherwise, they are unrelated in terms of characters or any other shared concepts beyond some thematic elements.

Hmm. In an edit still in the queue he offhandedly declares that Inside Out is explicitly an adaptation of Scary Go Round. I did an admittedly brief search for any authoritative source confirming this and found none -- just a couple things on fandom wikis here and there where it seems to be a point of faith that it just is. I'm thinking this is someone trying to pass his headcanon off as reality -- not as bad as the "Krypto the runt" freak, but the same kind of thing.
