Disney Sued for $10 BILLION Over Alleged Stolen IP

[Conservative Angle]

​

Poor Disney.

That just can’t seem to catch a break.

After a string of flops at the box office, costing them hundreds of millions of dollars, Disney is now getting hit with a massive lawsuit.

They’re being sued for a whopping $10 billion by Buck Woodhall.

He claims the hit movie Moana was lifted from his 2003 pitch, Bucky and the Wave Warrior.

The alleged parallels between his story of Polynesian teens and Disney’s box office smash are striking.

So if any of you plan to pitch an idea to Disney, be sure to protect it and have them sign an NDA.

Is there anything Disney can do right these days?

Disney has been sued for allegedly copying the idea for ‘MOANA’ and its sequel.

Buck Woodall is suing the company for allegedly stealing his idea and is seeking damages equivalent to 2.5% of Moana‘s gross revenue or $10B.

Also, Moana live action is set to be released in 2026. Wonder how this will affect that production?

Breitbart reports:

The Walt Disney Company has been sued by an animator who claims the studio’s hit Moana and Moana 2 animated movies ripped off his original screenplay. He is seeking $10 billion — yes, “billion” with a “b” — in damages.

In the suit filed Friday in a California federal court, animator Buck Woodall alleges that Disney plagiarized elements of a screenplay he wrote for an animated movie titled Bucky, which like the Moana movies is set in an ancient Polynesian village and follows teenagers who rebel against their parents, set off on dangerous voyages, and encounter spirits that manifest themselves as animals.

As for the eye-popping sum being sought, the plaintiff is seeking 2.5 percent of Moana‘s gross revenue, or alternatively at least $10 billion.

But if they did steal it, will they get away with it?

Someone pro-Trump needs to take over Disney.
