$10 Billion Moana Copyright Lawsuit: Disney Faces Infringement Claims
Animator Buck Woodall is suing Disney for copyright infringement, alleging that their hit film *Moana* and its sequel heavily plagiarize his screenplay *Bucky*, submitted to a Disney executive in 2003. The lawsuit claims numerous similarities between the two works, including plot points, characters, and specific imagery. While a previous lawsuit was dismissed due to timing, the release of *Moana 2* has allowed Woodall to refile, seeking $10 billion in damages. Disney previously denied any knowledge of Woodall’s work.
