Disney won! (Of course, they did.) http://www.hollywoodrepo

Of course they did. It was a nuisance lawsuit. Any other outcome would be a chilling legal precedent heralding a sweeping upheaval limiting creative freedom across the board just to spite "big bad Disney."

I don't really care that much. I tend to side against IP laws in general, and this is one of the times it pairs me up with a corporation, I guess

nah, they changed it enough to avoid copyright infringements also tezuka was fucking dead

>>93795668
I knew they would, but it's obvious they stole the idea. They do that shit all the time at Disney, it's a terribly kept secret.

>>93796252
no they didnt

The only people that were up in arms about it were manga artists inspired by Tezuki. There was never really a big thing about it other than everyone noticing.

I don't feel like reading the whole thing, was there any actual evidence that they stole the idea?

Yes... keep it up! Earn your pay!

I agree with the judge.

Mismatched partners is a cop-movie trope, and predator/prey is an obvious one if you're going cop movies with animals.
The designs really aren't very similar besides conforming to the same cop movies tropes. You could take Brooklyn 99 characters and make a similar chart. It's not like "cop movie with animal characters" is some sort of groundbreaking premise.

>>93796501
HEY! you are on /co/, you are supposed to hate Disney because they are rich, also a corporation, something something jews, flat earth, illuminaty and also rich again while the true american heroes of /co/ draw porn on their basements and get no respect for it. this is like another hall of cost!

>>93796677
>He's reaching hard with the comparison.

He didn't even need the comparison. He gave Disney the project called "Zootopia". The comparison was there only to establish that it was, indeed, about an animal world, rather than "in name only".

>>93795668
Among the dumbest lawsuits I've ever heard of. Would have to ignore many movies in the past featuring bipedal talking animals.
The only thing he might have gotten away with was the name, but putting together Zoo and Utopia together isn't exactly a groundbreaking idea.

He pitched them a similar idea with similar characters and similar plot points ten years ago and they didn't accept it, only to release a similar movie ten years later.
The judge decided that the lawsuit was bullshit since everything is very generic.
>>93796287
There was a lawsuit. Disney had enough money and lawyers to stall until the other guys ran out of money and had to drop the lawsuit.

Not to mention that in the animation industry, artists go in and out of companies ALL the time. After 10 years it's likely that most of the people who knew about Goldman's pitch weren't even at Disney anymore.

>He gave Disney the project called "Zootopia".
He pitched a product called "Loony" about an animator who makes animal characters, and tried to make the claim in court that the name "Zootopia" was somehow attached to it.

They won because neither Zootopia was particularly original to begin with.

Each is composed of motifs extremely common to anthropomorphic allegorical storytelling. Hell, part of the lawsuit tries to even persue the fact that the animals are largely "African", as though African animals are unique to the prosecutor's story.

None of you care about the agrument this lawsuit presents at all, or what disaster of legal precedent it would set had it gone through.

Why won't this mediocre movie just fade away already.

For all of the hype for this movie being socially progressive and relevant to our times, it was quite dull and not particularly funny.

The sight gags and "witty" banter isn't that well written, and the focus on furry fan service detracted from the core theme of this movie.

I was not impressed with this movie, to say the least.

The real legacy of the movie is the invasive furry porn permeating the internet.

Worst Witch predated HP by a decade AT LEAST, but beyond the not too original concept of British boarding school for magical kids, there's not much overlap. They're basically "What if Neville Longbottom was the protagonist and a cute girl except he never stopped being shit at magic?" Wizards and Witches go to different schools, magic is different, they're short children's books with no real ongoing storyline, there's a school bully because it's a fucking children's book set in a school, of course there's a bully character. There's a bitchy potions teacher who dislikes the protagonist but she didn't want to fuck her mum. There's no Dark Lord and not much emphasis on monsters or creatures. It's got far more inc common with P.L. Travers or Enid Blyton stories than J.K. Rowling's, and most similarities are due to Harry Potter being pretty formulaic in general.
