Disney has said 'Frozen' is based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen, but Isabella Tanikumi claims Disney ripped off her autobiography.
Tanikumi's book, Yearnings of the Heart is about Tanikumi growing up in the Andean mountain of Peru.
Yeah, that sounds totally like Queen Elsa overcoming her fears and embracing her icy powers.
She is suing Disney for $250 million on the basis that the "characters, plots, subplots, and story line" were taken from her book. She also claims that her books cover and 'Frozen's' DVD cover are alike.
What do you guys think?
That's pretty pathetic. Seeing as it's already based on a story, I don't think Disney had to plagiarize.

ReplyDeleteBut in all seriousness, this means nothing to Disney. They have enough money to get sued...not that this case will hold up in court.
This is so funny. But I especially loved Disney's response, they said it was ridiculous and she really had to "let it go". Ha!
