Animator Buck Woodall has filed a lawsuit against Disney, claiming the entertainment giant used his screenplay, “Bucky,” as inspiration for both “Moana” and its sequel, “Moana 2.”

The lawsuit (obtained by THR), filed in California federal court on January 10, alleges that Disney incorporated plot elements, themes, and character designs from Woodall’s 2003 project into these films. He is seeking at least $10 billion in damages.

Woodall claims he shared his screenplay, storyboards, and character designs with Mandeville Films in 2003, a company that had a first-look deal with Disney at the time. He alleges that Jenny Marchick, who was with Mandeville Films at the time and is now DreamWorks Animation’s head of development, took his materials and shared them with Disney.

The lawsuit highlights several similarities between Woodall’s “Bucky” and Disney’s films. For example, both stories feature a young protagonist defying parental warnings and embarking on a dangerous journey across Polynesian waters.
