洛杉矶联邦陪审团一致驳回了动画师巴克·伍德尔(Buck Woodall)对迪士尼动画电影《莫阿娜》提起的版权侵权诉讼。

伍德尔声称,他在21世纪初创作了一部名为《冲浪男孩巴基》(Bucky the Surfer Boy)的剧本,讲述了一个穿越时空来到古波利尼西亚的少年冲浪者的故事,并将其分享给了与迪士尼有关联的曼德维尔影业(Mandeville Films)的高管珍妮·马奇克(Jenny Marchick)。

他声称迪士尼使用了他的素材——剧本、故事板和角色设计——作为《莫阿娜》的创作基础,最初索赔约1亿美元,后来又就《莫阿娜2》提起了另一项100亿美元的诉讼。

陪审团审判于2月底开始;3月10日,经过大约两个半小时的审议,陪审团得出结论,迪士尼的创作者从未接触过伍德尔的素材。由于接触无法被证明,评审团没有评估两部作品之间的相似性。
