Bouvre Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 These claims are one of the most difficult to legitimize, so it takes some real "beyond reasonable doubt" to even make a judge not throw out the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To open the discussion, how might homage have opened up a looseness in art so that plagiarism and theft is in its own way acceptable? Sure, The Night of The Hunter is iconic. You see it in The Simpsons "Cape Feare", The Coen Brothers True Grit and Big Lebowski and Raising Arizona (they love Night of The Hunter), and a very obvious nod from Spike Lee, but who determines what's iconic enough to avoid a legal battle?

Lasty Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 That is a remarkably similar scheme but it's not impossible for it to be a coincidence. At any rate, colour schemes and pictures behind words isn't exactly ground breaking stuff worth getting into a legal battle with a franchise like Star Wars over. If George Lucas wanted to plagiarize my shit, I would not only let him, I'd be honoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brief History of each of the comparisons when Disney began planning the Lion King they intended it to be a big budget Hollywood remake of the Kimba the White Lion movie "Jungle Emperor leo" they even released this concept art of a white lion cub they then later backpedaled, and denied this concept art existed, and said the Lion King was a completely original project, and never gave Osamu Tezuka Credit Disney's Atlantis was openly stated to be an "attempt at taking Anime-like Elements and making them fit within the Disney Canon", upon it's release it became painfully obvious, to the fanbase of the anime "Nadia: the secret of Blue water" that Disney's Atlantis was a nearly Shot for Shot uncredited remake of Nadia, each character from Nadia has a direct counterpart in Atlantis and several scenes are even literal shot for shot recreations and Finally, the Book of Life was originally pitched to Disney, but the company turned it down, on the grounds that making a movie with heavy Mexican themes would be "unmarketable to the mass American consumer" so the creator went to another company and the movie was a commercial success...so Disney ripped it off and made Coco Edited March 6, 2018 by mochi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
