These people just need to get a life and stop blamming everyone for thinking of the idea first. I one time thought of a great plot for an animated movie about cars. Then I heard Pixar was already making it. I was disappionted that idea was taken but you don't see me suing Pixar.
If I remember rightly it turns out the family did sue the music publisher and won. Disney was not affected by it at all, because they paid the publisher royalties.
Also a featurette on Dead Man's Chest (Region 4) disc 2 has a look at the project in a monthly matter and what the project went though, including what seemed to be a near cancelation of the movie, because they couldn't get a story together (screenwriters). It's an interesting featurette, like nothing I've seen on any other DVD set, Unless the first movie had something like this, I haven't even watched the second disc yet.
Just for note, I watched it at someones that had rented it, so I can't really give anymore details, good movies though. It'll be interesting to see if they have the dog and his bone in the next film.
