According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kelly Wilson is suing Disney claiming that the teaser trailer for Frozen is based off her animated short “The Snowman” which was released in 2010. She even provided a side-by-side comparison that shows the similarities. While everyone knows that the teaser trailer had very little to do with the plot of Frozen, the suit is specifically against the trailer and not the Oscar-winning feature.
A Disney spokesperson said, “The claim is utterly without merit and we will defend against it vigorously”.
The Hollywood Reporter provided a link to the full complaint from the United States District Court in northern California.
For those that need to refresh their memories, here is the Frozen teaser trailer featuring Olaf and Sven.
