Oof. Copyright that shit before Disney steals your idea.
Edit: I stole that joke, but apparently it was "someone" not "Disney" and now I feel like my life is a lie.
Pixar: Write that down. Write that down!!
hmmm, i don't think idea prompts can be copyrighted. buuut
if you wrote a script based on that, then put a copy of it in an envelope, sent it to yourself (so that it has an official date stamp on it), and then left it sealed (so nobody can say it was tampered with). then sent another copy of that to Disney (which they'd probably ignore). and then Disney somehow made a movie that's similar to what you wrote, then you have grounds to sue them. Just do not, under any circumstances, let anyone but the judge open that envelope, the whole plan hangs on it being the perfect proof
at least that's how my media law professor told us to protect our scripts. no judge will accept "but i came up with the idea first" as "proof"
You could do all that and Disney would probably still win, because Disney.
On the other hand, we would all win, because I would totally watch that movie! 🐀🐁👩🍳
yeah lol, grounds to sue doesn't equal winning. copyright law doesn't exactly favour the small guys
They likely would have different regionally appropriate but ethnically questionable animals so they can sell a wider variety of merch that appeals to different tastes.
There's gotta be at least one racoon
The BBQ pitmaster
BBQ pit viper.
Raccacoonie!
And it would have some bullshit ending where the rats realize all cuisines are equally great even though we all know in our hearts that poutine would reign supreme.
They'd all have a local edit for the ending, more likely.

Canadian one is called Maple Squeakerson
Except if the Canadian is from Alberta. Then the rat is just called dead :')
I always find it hilarious how some people from Alberta grew up thinking that rats were a made up thing for shows and movies. Because why wouldn't they? Haha.
Thanks for the Alberta thread. Cracked me up.
I moved from rural NFLD to Alberta so there wasn't much change for me when it came to rats there.
Moving to Toronto...
[Moviefone voice] Ratatouille three. But it's a gerbil that loves to act. The first live action sequel starring Richard Gere.
I imagined some producer going "Rats, we gotta do something different, some guy memed our idea.
