DISNEY IS CLEARED OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OVER HIT FILM ‘MOANA’
“After a two-week trial in federal court in Los Angeles, the eight-member jury found unanimously that Disney did not steal the concept for 2016’s ‘Moana’ from a 2011 screenplay.
A jury on Monday quickly and completely rejected a man’s claim that Disney’s Moana was stolen from his story of a young surfer in Hawaii.
The Los Angeles federal jury deliberated for only about 2 ½ hours before siding with Disney in the copyright trial, clearing the company of an infringement suit brought by screenwriter Buck Woodall.
Woodall filed suit in 2020 alleging that Moana was based on his work entitled “Bucky the Wave Warrior.” The eight-member jury found unanimously that Disney did not have access to the 2011 screenplay or earlier treatments.”
