This is a parody meme joking about a supposed upcoming remake of Nintendo's Star Fox video game franchise. The top text reads "The Star Fox remake looks great so far:", below which is edited promotional art for the 2024 DreamWorks animated film The Wild Robot. The art features the film's core cast of anthropomorphic animal characters: a frog with a magnifying glass, a blue macaw, a fox in a brown jacket, and a rabbit holding drumsticks.

Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on the Reddit r/meme subreddit with the original title "Just a silly Star Fox meme". It was created following the 2024 theatrical release of The Wild Robot, playing on the coincidental visual similarity between the film's main animal cast and the protagonist team of the long-running Nintendo Star Fox video game series, to make a lighthearted fake "remake announcement" joke.

The right panel features the text 'Silent Hill movies' above the infamous poorly sculpted bronze statue of Ronaldo, known for its distorted facial features and meme status.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' template. The left panel features a cheerful, normal render of Mr. Incredible paired with text expressing a common misconception: 'aww, Nintendo had such a wholesome beginning in the early 80's with children's games and characters in video games'. The right panel features a dark, unsettling half-shadowed black and white edit of Mr. Incredible paired with correcting text that reads 'Nintendo DID NOT start in the 1980's'. The joke plays on the lesser-known fact that Nintendo was founded much earlier, in 1889, originally as a playing card manufacturer, contrasting the common public perception of Nintendo as a modern 1980s video game company focused on family-friendly content.

The top panel is labeled with the Marvel logo, featuring animated characters Judy Hopps (rabbit) and Nick Wilde (fox) from Disney's Zootopia in an affectionate, lighthearted interaction where Judy is happily hugging Nick, representing Marvel's generally family-friendly, hopeful, upbeat tone. The bottom panel is labeled with the DC logo, showing a real-life wild fox carrying a dead rabbit in its mouth while standing on grass, representing the common perception of DC's darker, grittier, more violent and mature thematic style.

This is a two-panel comparison meme that jokes about nostalgia bias for older video games. The top panel features the stylized, lower-detail original Buzz Lightyear character from the Toy Story animated franchise, paired with text stating this is what Xbox 360 games actually look like. The bottom panel shows the much more detailed, higher-fidelity, realistic version of Buzz Lightyear from the 2022 standalone Lightyear film, paired with text stating this is how people remember Xbox 360 games looking when they were children. The meme plays on the common experience of remembering older games as far more visually impressive than they actually are when replayed on modern hardware, due to fond childhood memories clouding perception of their actual graphical quality. This version of the meme was created to counter the common argument that Xbox 360 games have aged poorly, by acknowledging that nostalgic memory makes them feel better than their native graphics.

A meme featuring a text overlay at the top that reads: 'Disney '......No no. We're not gonna remake this one''. Below the text is a screenshot from Disney's animated film 'Tarzan' (1999), showing Tarzan—an animated character with brown hair, minimal clothing, and a determined expression—climbing a tree branch in a lush jungle setting with green foliage and sunlight filtering through. The humor stems from the implication that Disney, known for remaking many of its animated classics into live-action films, is avoiding remaking 'Tarzan', possibly due to challenges like the character's minimal attire or the complexity of adapting the jungle environment.
