Disney's complaining about people using their material?! Excuse me <excessive laughter for several minutes>. Hello?! Has it ever occurred to anyone that most of those stories don't belong to Disney in the first place? James Barrie wrote Peter Pan, the Brother's Grimm wrote Snow White and Sleeping Beauty if I'm not mistaken, Cinderella gets her origins in the old German tale of Baba Yaga, Pocahontas is an early American folklore tale, Pinnochio by Carlo Collodi. But the ads on TV always boldly announce "Go See Disney's Peter Pan" or other title.
