Pixar/Disney in "Monsters Inc" Ownership Scuffle

blamanj writes "According to a SF Chronicle story this morning, Pixar has been sued by artist Stanley Mouse. Mouse created a movie treatment titled "Excuse My Dust", which was set in "Monster City," where the animated monster characters worked for the "Monster Corporation of America." One of the characters was a a green, wisecracking, ambulatory eyeball. Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that a story artist from Pixar visited Mouse in 2000, and discussed Mouse's work."

Disney is renowned for its original work, so I have a hard time believing they would be involved in this kind of rip-off. I think it is this Stanely Mouse that is the real scum. In fact, he probably took his name from that Disney character from 1928. He obviously has an obsession with Disney.

If in fact he is the originator of Sully, he should be compensated fairly. How about a lifetime subscription to Donald Duck? Disney cares about its customers and investors relations, you know. They are _not_ only in it for the money. If they were, they wouldn't get the extensive support from politicians they enjoy now, would they?

C'mon, are you all that dumb to believe in this continuing conspiracy theory?
