American First Run Studios v. Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.

No. B153518, 2003 WL 1861585 (Cal. App. 2d Dist. Apr 11, 2003)

We successfully defended an appeal in the California Court of Appeal of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.’s lower court victory dismissing the claims of American First Run Studios. American First Run had claimed that Disney’s 1994 animated “Tarzan” movie under license from Edgar Rice Burroughs “the owner of all rights in the Tarzan character” was copied from and substantially similar to American First Run’s earlier authorized live-action Tarzan television programs, even though the only similarities were the common presence of the pre-existing appearance of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan character.
