Judge Sides With Disney/Pixar In 'Cars' Complaint

Were characters from the popular Disney/Pixar "Cars" and "Cars 2" movies plagiarized from a British screenwriter? Not according to a recent ruling by a federal judge.

Last spring, Jake Mandeville-Anthony claimed the talking, adventure-loving autos from the animated films were based on his original idea. The screenwriter brought his claim to light last spring and said he submitted a script in the 1990's in which similiar characters appeared. At the time he made the claim, he also sought to prevent the release of "Cars 2."

Disney's Hollywood Studios Streets of America

When the Disney Hollywood Studios first opened in 1989 (as Disney MGM), this part of the park was closed off and only accessible via the Backlot Tour. The buildings that make up The Streets of America look like they could be in any city across the country with people bustling to and fro, as they go about their daily business. If you listen you will even hear the sounds of a busy city life, and you think you've may have been transported. With the use of forced perspective, these city streets seem to go on for miles.
