What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?

Reminds me of one of the SUPREMES!

[DARTH KNITE]

I would like to nominate AVATAR!!!!! For completely ripping off Atlantis. Same story, identical villain, same supporting characters. Total rip off.

uuuh no. If you're going to say that, might as well say Atlantis is a rip-off of 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Actually, Avatar is closer to Pocahontas in story structure.

Not to mention that Atlantis is a rip off of an old anime series (forgot the anime) and The Lion King is considered by many to be a rip off of Kimba The White Lion.

The whole "Avatar Rips Off Disney" crap is getting annoying, in my honest opinion. Like I just said Disney could be blamed for ripping off stories, as well as many other producers and filmmakers.

I seriously LOL'd. That was funny.

It was called Nadia. Nadia was a shameless rip off of 20,000 Leagues, complete with a Captain Nemo character and an apocalytpic finale. Don Hanh said he never heard of Nadia and I believe him.

The Lion King is considered by many to be a rip off of Kimba The White Lion.

The Lion King is a rip off of Bambi. Well, not a rip-off, I'd call it a remake for the 90's. The Lion King borrows from many sources.

The whole "Avatar Rips Off Disney" crap is getting annoying.

Welcome to the internet.

Not to mention, people act like Disney OWNS the romanticized version of Pocahontas. That's been around a lot longer than Disney. So the whole "Avatar ripped off Disney" is a very moot point. It just so happens Disney's version is one of the most famous versions. But it would be like saying New World ripped of Pocahontas. The romanticized version of Pocahontas has been around since at least 1803. That was when it was first published. Before then, it was told orally and many paintings depict Pocahontas more European than Powhatan. It was purely an image. Not to mention, the real John Smith was not as heroic as he is often portrayed, he was a heavy drinker and some of his accounts, the timelines don't match up to the real history. He has been proven to have made up a lot of stories, not just what happened in Jamestown. He was a storyteller who enjoyed boasting about being a big adventurer more than actually being a big adventurer.

Sadly people don't know the difference between a rip off and an adaptation.

I found these "loverly" dolls at Walgreens today

Eeeew.... Those dolls are spooky. What's with the mouths? Do they double as vacuum nozzles?

[Poody]

Those are SO ugly.....................

[Ostrum-Safari1992]

Those dolls are absolutely hideous.

They have gaping holes in their mouth for obvious reasons. They are little personal blow-up dolls for little boys to experiment with. It's a coming of age thing.

This reminds me, yesterday I was at a dollar store and saw this doll set that was a clear rip off of the Disney Princess franchise, and had some hilarious lines and quotes.

I'll upload them in a bit.

Those I had seen before, and I'm in agreement with you. This thread made me laugh so much, but the dolls are SO DISTURBING SOMEHOW.

That's one of the most epic picture I've ever seen.

Obviously Toys R Us needs to change the item title...

(Going off-topic)

Siren, I would't be sure about that. There are some studies that argue strongly that the accusation against captain John Smith that he was merely a boaster and made up a lot of stories are actually wrongheaded and false themselves. Anyway, after so many centuries, and so many stories it's difficult to pass a judgement on the man. Maybe you would be interested to read "The three worlds of captain John Smith" (forgot the author's name, sorry) This book is already a few decades old but still a good read. In the introduction the author states that there are so many conflicting views and judgements of capt. John Smith that he almost becomes a fictional character (or words much like that) actually, I've never read that Smith was a heavy drinker. Where dit you get that information? Couldn't it just have been a nasty gossip?
