Perhaps, but at least the male lead wasn't a blatant copy of Hans. At least they looked superior to Anna and Hans, actuallySotiris wrote:The lead characters from an upcoming CG-animated feature from Ukraine called The Stolen Princess look a lot like Anna and Hans (minus the sideburns) from Frozen. What do you think?

LOL, maybe "Stolen" has a double meaning.

The villainess from the 1959 manga "Super Rose" by Ishikawa Kyuuta looks very similar to the Wicked Queen from Snow White.

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
The head looks like the Evil Queen, but everything below the collar-thing looks like Maleficent. Even the pose is one Maleficent is often drawn in. (And maybe the Queen of Hearts’ crown? I'm surprised something wasn't taken from Cruella, too, like her cheekbones.)

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
I'd count this as "inspired by". As they say, nothing in art is original. Everything is put together piece by piece from things done before – consciously or uncounsciously.
Take a look the costume design of SHE (1935). Looks familiar, doesn't it?
Here's a link to the image:

(Somehow I can't attach images. I always get this message: It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.)

Inspired by us one thing, but that costume from the head down is 100% Maleficent.
Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
It happened to me at first too. But then I learnt that if you delete the "s" in "https" at the beginning of the link to the image, it lets you attach it. Well, at least in most cases. Sometimes it doesn't work even after doing that. Also, if the image is wider than 900 pixels, I think, you can't attach it, but then you get a different message, and in that case you can still post a link to the image like you did.Will Barks wrote:(Somehow I can't attach images.

I don't have an image yet, but there's a car wash company very close to where I work, and they use an image of Lightning McQueen as their official mascott. I will post an image soon. I suppose maybe that's not too unusual, maybe a lot of car wash companies use it.

Hopefully they get sued. That's way too obvious a rip-off.

At least her eyes are more to scale. I like it.

The design of Minky Momo's dress is clearly lifted from Cinderella. This is from the 1985 movie "Magical Princess Minky Momo: La Ronde in My Dream" (known in the West as "Gigi and the Fountain of Youth").

Also, in episodes 50, 55, and 61 of the '80s TV series, Minky Momo transforms into Snow White. Of course, that's more of a tribute to Disney's character than a rip-off.

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
That reminds me of how the Go! Princess Precure musical included a Snow White and a Sleeping Beauty (and a Kaguya). Snow White's design deviated a little from its Disney inspiration, but the Sleeping Beauty pretty much had the exact same design as Aurora.
Also not sure if relevant, but everyone looks pretty in the CG Russian Snow Queen movies now. Just compare this trailer to the art from the first movie. SQ3 Gerda kind of looks like Anna, if Anna were the Snow Queen instead.

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
In the opening of Slayers (1995), Lina Inverse is wearing a dress reminiscent of Belle's in Beauty and the Beast.

In episode 10 of Sailor Moon R (1993), we get a storybook illustration depicting Disney's Snow White.

In the ending of May I Ask for One Final Thing? (2025), Scarlet is shown as Disney's Cinderella and Snow White.

The lead from an upcoming CG-animated feature from Ukraine called Clara looks like Rapunzel (with short hair) from Tangled. What do you think?

Has anyone here seen Phelan "Phelous" Porteous's review of Dingo Pictures, Golden Films, and Goodtimes's animated films (most of the films were made to cash in on Disney's films)? Very funny stuff, albeit on the R-rated side.

We know about most of these, but while doing research for something else, I came across this list of rip-offs (Disney and others):
