A guy is suing Disney / Pixar for a bazillion samoleons, claiming they stole "Cars" from some stuff he came up with in the early nineties. Hollywood Reporter says:

Yes, brilliant unique ideas like that had to be stolen. As for the idea of talking cars, maybe these guys should join in the fun and start suing, too!
