[edit] Disney lawsuit

In 2003, Le Calvez filed suit against Walt Disney Pictures and its distribution company Pixar, claiming that the story and the characters from this book were plagiarized in the film Finding Nemo. The author and his lawyer, Pascal Kamina, demanded from Disney a share of the profits from merchandising articles sold in France. Le Calvez and Kamina lost the lawsuit on March 12, 2004, but intend to file an appeal on October 5.
