It has been reported by BusinessInsider that a woman  has attempted to sue Disney for a large sum of $250 million because she believes the entertainment megalith Frozen was based from her 2010 autobiography and not from the mind of Han Christian Anderson. This is a powerful claim seeing that the Frozen franchise has grossed over $1 billion in box office alone worldwide.

Isabella Tanikumi filed a lawsuit against the Walt Disney Company in the U.S. District Court with the claim Disney had studied and plagiarized her book, Living My Truth, in the new monolithic Disney sensation Frozen. However when we take a look at how she arranges her story and the children’s movies parallels it seems unlikely the Disney franchise had copied her story.

Her first claim is that both stories take place in a village at the base of a snow covered mountain, or the Kingdom of Arendelle in Frozen. Next she points out how both her story and Frozen have sisters close in age, and that both sisters love each other deeply. Next she proclaims that one of the sisters, like her sister who fell into custard, gets injured in an accident; the Frozen sister hits her head and in both stories both sisters lose memory of their accidents. Furthermore, apparently the law-suiting sisters were caught in a horrible earthquake while the Frozen sisters lost their parents in a boating accident, the lawsuit sister’s claiming both incidents brought the sisters closer together. Both sisters in each category fell in love for tall, dark, handsome men name Hans and Cristoff and may act as the most compelling comparison. Both Kristoff and Cristoff explain to the women about the healing powers they posses, and later all sisters are betrayed by their love interests. Lawsuit sister and Elsa both become reclusive and try and hide their injuries, while both stories continue with a key scene under the moon. Both stories also have defects exposed in front of children and the cover of the lawsuit’s girl’s memoir is a hand with sprinkles just like the cover of the Frozen DVD. Both stories use open gates as metaphor and Lawsuit sister and Else both Die, although Elsa comes back to life eventually. Both Stories also talk about their hearts being cold.

Some of these parallels are compelling and other’s are not; it would certainly not be the first time in history major successful artists or franchises have plagiarized.
