So undoubtedly Pacific Rim Maybe Based or at least influenced by Gundam Series.
3.Snow White and The Huntsman Inspired By Princess Mononoke
Both Films aren’t that all that similar, but During watching Snow White and the Huntsman as I saw a scene in the movie and it reminded me of the scene from Princess Mononoke. everything in the forest scene was similar to that in Princess Mononoke, which make the film less like Snow White, and more like Hayao Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke.

"Atlantis - The Lost Empire", Disney's latest movie (release date: June 15, 2001), was quite similar to "Nadia - The secret of blue water" (Gainax - 1991) Both movies are ripping off 100 years worth of pulp cliches., Both Atlantis and Nadia cite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Vernes, they both got similar characters design.

9.Dark City Inspired By: Akira
Dark City is a 1998 American neo-noir science fiction film directed by Alex Proyas Proyas called the end battle a "homage to Otomo's Akira", but for me it wasn't only a tribute movie as Mr Proyas borrowed a lot from Akira. this original Anime & Manga became iconic hits, and Dark City's climactic battle is an obvious nod to the final battle in the Anime. nothing beats originality.
