Disney sued over Zootopia claims

A screenwriter and producer has sued Walt Disney Pictures claiming the studio copied his ideas to create the Oscar-winning animated film Zootopia. Gary L. Goldman, whose credits include work on film adaptations of Total Recall, Minority Report and Big Trouble in Little China, filed the copyright infringement lawsuit Tuesday in a federal court in Los Angeles. His lawsuit says he pitched his Zootopia concept to Disney in 2000 and 2009. Disney rejects the claims.
