Ariel's Prince is obviously the biggest cheap Disney rip-off. He's just ripping-off Prince Eric.
Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database
I won't argue that logic. Here's an update on it...mooky_7_sa wrote:I understand what you're saying pap64, but when the makers of those cheap films deliberately make the DVD cover similar to the cover of a Disney film (even though the film itself may be different) that is most definitely a rip-off.

I own the Goodtimes' TLM and it's really stupid. But I don't think it's a rip-off of Disney really. The only thing they have in common is the happy ending. And, to be honest, that's what you should expect from any children's re-telling of the HCA version.

Listening to most often lately:
Taylor Swift ~ ~ "The Fate of Ophelia"
Taylor Swift ~ "Eldest Daughter"
Taylor Swift ~ "CANCELLED!"

A couple days ago, I was really bored, and this thread inspired me to watch some clips of the Goodtimes films on YouTube. What I watched was laughably bad...one member posted a bunch of songs from the various films. It was obvious that the movies were rushed- their version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame has a song about Esmeralda, and the animation was obviously rushed- the whole song, besides a flashback or two, is Esmeralda dancing in front of a background. Ugh. And some of the lyrics in the songs of those movies. Just horrible.

The mall used to have Kay-Bee Toys. Kay-Bee Toys went out of business. In its place is a store called...wait for it...TOYS. Yes, a toy store called Toys. It, in and of itself, is a rip-off of Kay-Bee Toys. A LOT of the merchandise there was rip-off merchandise. Some examples:








Look at the Toy Story 3 logo. Look at Buzz (I wish there wasn't a glare). Obviously look at the princess (fake Ariel has purple eyes, fake Belle has blue eyes, and fake Cindy has long hair). The princess playset uses Disney's font and Cinderella's font. Lightning McQueen's hood says "Rush at". the fake Wall-e and fake Cars toys are just poor, just like Buzz. There is no mention of Disney or Pixar on these- they are as fake as fake can be. How can companies get away with this? Honestly, isn't there anything Disney can do to take action? Not only is it taking money out of Disney's pocket, people will associate Disney with crap.

That's really good advice- I just used DCP's "Contact Us" form on their website, and I pasted the link to this thread, so they can see the different things mentioned. I hope that there's something Disney can do, but it's likely that they know that this goes on. Maybe they think that it'll be a waste of money because, once they close down one company, another will pop right up and make fake Disney toys or movies.
