A woman reportedly is suing Disney for the whopping sum of $250 million (with an "M") because she is convinced that the entertainment giant based Frozen on her 2010 autobiography, and not on the fables of Hans Christian Andersen.
Let it go! All the way to court.

You can scan the entire lawsuit here. Essentially, Isabella Tanikumi filed a suit against the Walt Disney Company in the U.S. District Court claiming that the study plagiarized her book Living My Truth in the plot of the smash-hit animated feature Frozen. It’s only when she starts to map out the similarities between Frozen and her autobiography that things start to fall apart.

Saw this story earlier. "Fall apart" is an understatement. I'm sure this one will get tossed quickly. Can't even believe she's trying this.

That honestly made me LOL.

Almost as hard as the sister falling in custard.

What a nut job...

She's getting exactly what she wants - publicity for her book and herself. Disney should counter-sue on the grounds of a frivolous suit being filed against them. After reading the suit, no judge in his/her right mind would ever let this get to trial.

Just another bottom-feeder trying to make a buck off of Disney. Mad


First trip, Christmas 1971.
Last Trip, Oct. 2017 - ICOT20!

Do a little internet research and you will find out that "facts" just don't add up.

So who will throw Mickey Ears at me when I say that I laughed pretty hard just seeing the title. And even more reading about it ;)
