💨 Abstract

In a copyright trial, a Los Angeles jury ruled in favor of Disney, dismissing claims that the hit animated film 'Moana' (2016) plagiarized 'Bucky the Surfer Boy', an earlier work by Buck Woodall. The verdict was based on the primary creators, John Musker and Ron Clements, having no knowledge of Woodall's work while developing 'Moana'.
