The Legend of Sarila was actually released BEFORE Frozen.

It's not the movie's fault their shitty American distribution company decided to rename that shit for the home video market in hopes of cashing in on Frozen's success

Yeah, they pull that kind of shit sometimes with less-known movies that aren't as marketable as Disney stuff. Like how "Super K - the Movie" got renamed into "Kiara the Brave" and had the not-very-important girl character in the cover, to make people confuse the movie for Pixar's Brave.

"Help! I'm a fish" had a pretty unfortunate case of this happen to it too. They decided to rather make it look like a crappy cheap ripoff of Shark Tale or Finding Nemo, instead of trying to sell the movie on its own merits. Kinda sad if it does genuinely sell better under a disguise of a ripoff movie.

>>80960094
It's pretty awful that they even made the logo almost exactly the same

It's a pretty original film if you actually see it though. It's just American distributors being jewish.

Meanwhile in Brazil though...

When can we expect Zootopia's knockoff? Did Big Hero 6 get one? I know Disney won the Frozen World lawsuit, so maybe companies are giving up.

>>80960682
Yeh. I don't know how I'd feel about that.

At first, it'd be like "yes, a US company got interested, the movie has a distributor in the US market! Woo!" and then you'd see that they'd just gone and renamed the movie and also turned your original movie based on an Inuit legend into a cheap-ass knockoff of a Disney movie that came out nearly a year after yours through imitating it with the title and the new cover and go "…oh".

That's gotta sting, dude.

This outright disgusts me, and it disgusts me even more when it's done for films that are perfectly fine and even good by the marketers.

But what disgusts me the most is it probably works. Retards who think they're picking up some film that's popular (but might itself suck) in the supermarket probably generate more cash then people looking for something decent.
