Don’t let it go: US woman suing Disney over 'Frozen' plagiarism claim
Isabella Tanikumi states that the origin of the hit animated film was taken from her 2010 autobiography Living My Truth. In the book, Tanikumi talks about her adolescent years in the Andean mountains of Peru.
She claimed that Disney copied the ‘feeling’, story and characters from her work and is demanding a jury trial.
When Tanikumi’s lawyer, William T Anastasio, was contacted by E! News, he said: "In response to your query regarding Isabella Tanikumi's claim against Disney, she has requested that I email you the attached Complaint which was filed this past Monday in the Federal District Court. Ms Tanikumi is a very private individual and does not wish to be interviewed at this time. As the case moves through the courts, I am sure more information will become available concerning her claims."
In Tanikumi’s complaint, 18 examples were highlighted that showed parallels between her book and Frozen.
