Malcolm Gladwell

He said, okay.

Six years go by, and then one day, Gary gets a call from one of his sons.

The Goldmans go and see Zootopia at the Grove in Los Angeles.

They can't believe it.

As far as Gary can tell, his character Roscoe, the cynical, obnoxious hyena, has been turned into Nick Wilde, the cynical, obnoxious fox.

And his optimistic, curvaceous squirrel Mimi has become the optimistic, curvaceous rabbit Judy Hopps.

Goldman gets one of the biggest and baddest of law firms, Quinn Emanuel, to represent him.

Quinn Emanuel does not usually take suits like this, but for Gary, they make an exception.

That's how compelling his case seems.

So Quinn Emanuel files a lawsuit claiming copyright infringement.

The case goes on for seven years.

Everyone who is anyone at Disney is deposed.

What's Disney's defense?

Is it they never saw it?

Yes, never saw it.

So they're claiming this is a series of incredible coincidences.

And what happens next?

Goldman loses.

He appeals, loses again.

He switches to state court, loses.
