Remember the X-Men: Evolution cartoon series from the early 2000s?

The show literally came out because of the first X-men movie. Most cartoons back then came out right after live-action movies. Jackie Chan Adventures only exists because of Rush Hour.

Even Batman:TAS only exists because of Batman '89 and Batman Returns. That's why Catwoman and Penguin's designs reflect the movie versions.
