Disny and WB would definatly sue if you made a cartoon about a mouse named
nicky and a bunny named biggs.
Or how about "Alian Terminator" a movie about a T-14 cybernetic unit sent
back through time to kill a woman before she could spawn an insect like alian
that was growing in her stomach.
Marvel and DC would have a problem if you made a movie about Bat-gent and
Spider-boy 2 supper heroes that battle a ridieling clown and a goblin like
mutation, both dressed in green.
It's theft and something sould be done!
