I'm surprised we haven't gotten an actual Frozen rip off by now (excluding that Font issue )

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
There´s also the own Disney rip off.
What do I mean by this? The Tinker Bell movies. Movies that are made direct to DVD and BD and in some countries are being released theatrically.
BTW, the Cars franchise is the only one from Pixar that I barely stand. As such, the idea of Planes didn´t even attract me. Plus the fact that was made by Disney made it easier for me not to watch it.
However, since the sequel is coming soon. Someone that watched the original Planes that can recommend it?

I wonder if Maleficent can be considered a bit of a rip-off?

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
There have been many Cars rip-offs but this has got to be the most blatant one. However, the filmmaker and the production company unsurprisingly deny the accusations. You can watch the trailer, here.
Source: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/07/china ... sney-cars/"I know of the movie 'Cars', but I have never seen it. I don't even know the names of its characters," Zhuo Jianrong, director of the movie and executive director of the film production company, said when reached by CNN. Zhuo told CNN the cars in his movie were imitations of toy cars and have been copyrighted. "Aren't the cars you see in the street similar?" he asked, adding that this is his first animation work. "If somebody else looks like you, does that person violate the laws?"
Zhuo, who is vocal on Chinese social media, says his critics are too harsh on a domestic film production. "We hope people can be more tolerant, as Chinese animation just started not long ago, and is nowhere near the Hollywood productions," he said. "I can only say we learned from Disney, but we would never copy."
Zhuo said that his company had received legal letters from the Walt Disney Company, which owns Pixar. Disney declined to comment on whether it had sent the letters. He added that his production company has responded with evidence that "The Autobots" isn't a copycat. "The main storyline of our move is completely different than Disney's," he said. "Our goal is to teach children about thinking and innovation."
Source: http://sinosphere.blogs.nytimes.com/201 ... it-before/Reached by telephone, Zhuo Jianrong, the director of “The Autobots” and the chief executive of the film’s production company, Blue MTV, said that he had not seen the original Pixar film but that he believed the negative publicity would benefit future sequels of Disney-Pixar’s “Cars” franchise in China. “Many Chinese already have a fixed attachment to Disney’s characters,” Mr. Zhuo said. “We hadn’t anticipated this.”
The Walt Disney Company, which owns Pixar Animation Studios, released a statement saying, “We share the same concerns as many netizens and movie fans in China, but have no further comment at this stage.” According to Mr. Zhuo, the production company had earlier received a letter from Disney regarding the issue. Mr. Zhuo said the company sent back a letter to Disney that said, “Our animated characters are all copyrighted in China, and we are operating within our legal parameters.”
Source: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/en ... story.htmlZhuo Jianrong, the director of “The Autobots,” has defended his movie and started a war of words on social media against those who have questioned it. Zhuo responded to Lu by calling him “shameless” and branded those who questioned his film “Chinese traitors” who must have “brain damage.”
Disney is not enthused about "The Autobots." A Disney spokesperson said: "We believe 'The Autobots' picture blatantly infringes on Disney's intellectual property rights from our 'Cars' and 'Cars 2' movies and intend vigorously to protect our copyright."

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
there is a whole slew of creepy Korean/Chinese online knock-off games that use Disney characters and others like Dora, Monster High etc... where you have to do weird stuff like help Elsa use the toilet or deliver Anna's baby. Im not kidding.

Chinese knock-off of Zootopia. They just replaced animals with toys.
Source: http://chinafilminsider.com/netizens-sl ... -zootopia/Both the name and the promotional poster of the locally produced animated feature bear a striking resemblance to the Disney film that finished its run in Chinese theaters with RMB 1.53 billion (about $235.6 million). Crazy Toy City (疯狂玩具城)—similar in name to the Chinese name for the Disney hit, Crazy Animal City (疯狂动物城)—started streaming on subscription video sites such as iQiyi on April 29. Chinese social media users were quick to point out the similarities between Zootopia and its apparent imitator. Weibo user ‘Bone Hero’ (骨头侠), who said he worked on the film, defended the film against critics on the social media platform. “This film is absolutely original” he wrote in a post accompanied by stills from the animation. “If you find any part is copied, please sue us!”

Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
The lead characters from an upcoming CG-animated feature from Ukraine called The Stolen Princess look a lot like Anna and Hans (minus the sideburns) from Frozen. What do you think?
Re: What's the biggest cheap Disney rip-off?
That's different enough that there's a level of plausible deniability to me. Of course the trailer could reveal itself to be more of a clone.
