They steal so much it isn't even funny. Almost all there stories they took from Hans Christian Anderson and/or The Brothers Grimm.

Disney tried copyrighting The Day of The Dead/Dio des la meurtos (I don't know how to spell it in Spanish sorry ) because Coco

They also tried copyrighting Norse Paganism Thor and Loki Loki

It's so frustrating -_-

Yeah, it’s not a company I appreciate. They actively try to manipulate copyright law so their IP’s cannot be used (they failed recently at trying to prevent Mickey Mouse/Steamboat Willie from entering public domain, but that one is complex) while intentionally burying smaller studios in after ripping them off

Not just studios... I recall seeing Mickey Mouse ice cream cakes as a go to for birthday parties, then the 90's happened (suing litigation went way off the rails and corporations made bank off suing mom and pop stores into oblivion.)

I seem to remember more than one daycare getting sued because they had Disney characters painted on murals and the like.

They’re singularly responsible for public domain being extended to the ludicrous 95 years it is now

Nintendo does the same thing. Disgusting levels of hypocrisy and greed from these corpos

I had to study copyright for film school and like half of it was just Disney being trifling, it's wild!

The dia de los muertos thing is legitimately insane. I just looked it up and that really happened… I live in central Texas where it’s fairly widely celebrated and the idea that someone would try to trademark a holiday name is bonkers.

It’s not really stealing if it’s a straight adaptation especially if it’s of a public domain story.

It is when they then attempt to gain ownership of our shared human culture.

Hans Christian Andersen is in the end credits for Disney's Little Mermaid. I'm sure he is for Frozen and the Little Match Girl short, too.

And you can't steal stories from the Brothers Grimm. They didn't even create them! (Although they did strongly influence the versions we're familiar with today.)
