The movie, "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs", has 3 base title cards depending on which region you watch the movie in. The original features the title without a number, the one used in Europe features a 3 added onto the title, and the last has no subtitle.

When the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" film was released in Italy, it was presented as La Maledizione della Prima Luna. This is also reflected on the original localization. However, on later releases, the franchise title was added, and the localization was redone.

The Disney series, "Kiff", has never released in Germany or Austria, due to the titular characters name being slang for smoking weed. Despite this, the show has an official German translation, presented as Liff & Barry. Alongside this, some episodes have been subtitled in German.

As time progresses, older localizations are slowly lost to time, and go unarchived by the companies. When rereleased, occasionally a new localization is provided, either from the company themselves, or made by a VOD service or TV channel. Below is an example from "A Goofy Movie".

This, however, has a weird countereffect. In languages where the title is the same as English, example below being Italian, they still use a more simplified title card over the original release!

Sometimes in localizations, visual sacrifices have to be made. An example of one is Shark Tale. The original English title card is fully animated, breaking away as fish swim by. In other languages, however, the title card is lazily slapped on, and flies away.

In "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish", Puss' initial is carved out throughout the film. In other regions, however, they are changed to fit his name changes! Below is an example of such, and the common territories they appear in.
