Disny and WB would definatly sue if you made a cartoon about a mouse named nicky and a bunny named biggs. Or how about "Alian Terminator" a movie about a T-14 cybernetic unit sent back through time to kill a woman before she could spawn an insect like alian that was growing in her stomach. Marvel and DC would have a problem if you made a movie about Bat-gent and Spider-boy 2 supper heroes that battle a ridieling clown and a goblin like mutation, both dressed in green. It's theft and something sould be done! ===== _________________________________________________ Jan William Coffey _________________________________________________ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
