Disney sued for $10B over ‘Moana,’ writer’s lawsuit cites ‘breathtaking’ similarities to his script and claims he was ‘prodded’ for content

The lawsuit, filed Friday by Buck Woodall in California federal court, claims the Disney films exhibit “breathtaking” similarities to his script, “Bucky the Wave Warrior” or “Bucky,” an animated feature he says was inspired by his “unique exposure” to Polynesian culture.Woodall is seeking “at least $10 billion” in damages and 2.5% of the gross revenue from “Moana 2” and related merchandise, a sum he estimated to be “at least $5 billion.”Both “Moana” and “Moana 2” were runaway hits for Disney, with the sequel setting the record for the biggest Thanksgiving weekend debut in box office history (it raked in $221 million in its five-day domestic open).In addition to Disney, production company Mandeville Films and former Mandeville exec Jenny Marchick (currently head of feature development for DreamWorks Animation) are named as defendants, per People.The timing of the legal action is less than ideal for Disney. The studio is reportedly hoping “Moana 2” will garner a Best Animated Feature Oscar nod when the Academy announces nominations, which was extended because of the devastating LA fires.According to Woodall’s lawsuit, the alleged similarities between the “Moana” movies and his script include a teenage protagonist on “a dangerous voyage across Polynesian waters” to save an “endangered” island, “ancient spirits manifested as animals which guide and guard the living,” a symbolic necklace central to the story and a demigod with a giant hook and tattoos, among others.Woodall claimed that he began sharing his ideas for “Bucky” with Marchick when she was at Mandeville Films in 2003.
