Disney and Pixar have been sued for allegedly stealing the idea for 2015’s hit Inside Out.
A Canadian man named Damon Pourshian has filed a lawsuit in federal court in California, TheWrap reports. The lawsuit says Pixar’s film infringes on a script Purishian wrote in 1999 also titled Inside Out, which eventually got turned into a short film a year later in 2000.
Pourshian claims his work has many similarities to Inside Out, as his script and short movie tell the story of a young boy named Lewis reacting to everyday life “through anthropomorphized representations of his bodily organs,” which are seen inside Lewis’ body.
