Have you seen this?! (important)

[DarkTrojan]

01:17 <stick^> sounds like disney have ripped off badger badger badger
01:17 <stick^> I've had several emails about it now
...
01:22 <stick^> they've replaced the badgers with a disney character and changed the words

Have you seen this? If it's on the internet anywhere, we* need to know.

So we can sue their arses!




* by we I mean weebl

[Joe G]

Uh,oh. Where did you get this from?

[GrimStorm]

Oh dear Lord, no.

[Bappel]

This sounds interesting! Got to know about his. Hmmm, maybe in some of their new movies?

[Vercci]

Mickey Mickey Mickey?

[GrimStorm]

And then Goofy instead of mushrooms.

That would be awful.

[Tweekish]

I havent seen that, I had a quick trawl through their website to see if I could find anything. So far, zero.

What actually is it supposed to be?

[Thomp]

There's been no mention of it on the wiki page, maybe it's only a news-just-in kind of thing?

[Tiode]

Maybe its bull?

[Smidge91]

I've seen it! It's on the Disney Channel. Kusco Kusco Kusco Kusco. There should definitely be some investigation. A programme called Kusco's Academy.

[BlueIncaPilot]

Awww. Please let's all be nice about Disney :)

[Turkey Sandwich]

All I can find on the subject is a song which repeats the word 'Kuzco', which is pretty old as far as I know.

Of course, that may well be just be because I haven't looked in the right places.
I haven't found anything with several different Disney characters in, if that's what the rumour is about. But then that's much harder to look for.

if its old then maybe its just a coincidence , but isnt kuzco's academy (relatively) new?

[Mercury126]

This is the first I've heard of this, Im trying to find anything usefull via google. So far nada.

[Tweekish]

I quite like The Emperor's New School :(

[Thomp]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Emperor%27s_New_School_Episodes

I've just skim-read all of them, and coldn't find anything. You can all view for yourselves though if you wish

[Cactusman]

I'm afraid Thomp isn't lying, folks...

[Shiny]

Disney make good movies, but deep down, they're black hearted fuck holes. Gotta sue them. S'not as if the don't have enough money.

[Repine]

I don't actually think it was an episode, more an advert for The Emperor's new school.

I could be wrong though.

[himaloy]

I think sniper mouse is right.

[ZekeyLizard]

Disney rips things off all the time.

Emporer's new school is a poorly slapped together corporate choking of one of the few decent newer disney films. Except its all animated in Korea and isnt funny in the least.

I'm sure somewhere, someone will record the kuzco badger parody and stick it on youtube. Give it time.

[Smidge91]

It was an advert- only came out last week so it is new. War, anyone?

[Cjw]

Why on earth are people talking of sueing?

It's most likely a parody or a homage to the toon itself. You know, like shows like family guy and the simpsons do all the time?

You know, like shows like family guy and the simpsons do all the time?Disney sue anyone who even vaguely infringe their intellectual property. Why should they get away with it on the basis of homage. Also, there seems to be the view amongst ad agencies that they can do what they want with stuff from the internet and not acknowledge the source - there needs to be some fuss made about this

[Smidge91]

My sister's been watching Disney Channel and it looks like they've stolen the Ipod advert as well, for some Cheetah Girls film. There's been loads of Ipod spoofs, but this one is a serious advert.

[Shiny]

:(

It's not really fair is it?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they'd be the easiest people to sue. I don't know, but maybe it's the fact that they are huge and could afford the best lawyers and all that jazz. Heh, but I've never sued anyone, never been sued either, wouldn't know how it works.

[Roxit]

I hate Disney because they ruined Winnie The Pooh!!!

I hope its true and weebl sues and weebl wins!

[Cactusman]

Yeah, and Disney has to hand over 50% of their ill-gained fortune.

[Smartie]

I think that point is that a parody generally is portrayed as such, whereas this isn't. The Simpsons are portrayed as a comedy tv show, which occasionally spoofs others. And where explicit copyright is used, then permission and payment are required.

A Multi-national Corp like Disney should know better, and at the very least seek permissions.

[Corn_Fest]

Disney once sued a preschool center for having cardboard cutout of its characters on its walls. It's on snopes.com somewhere.
Also apparently good old mr. Walt was not so kind to his original workers.

http://www.snopes.com/disney/wdco/daycare.htm

Note though that these were professional profitmaking daycare centers, which places then in a whole different league as the non-profit ones.
If they are profitmaking enterprises, then it's perfectly normal for them to have to ask for permits.

[Turkey Sandwich]

Is it just me that thinks the fact that weebl hasn't commented on this could be significant?

Either that there's an element of truth, or that it's such rubbish he's not even paying attention.
Unless of course he just hasn't seen it.

Actually, that theory doesn't help very much, does it.

[weebl]

unless I can see this ad I don't know if we have a problem or not.

[Kiwi Man]

You people who've seen it and who've got Disney Channel need to sit around with cameras and get ready to film the ad when you see it again. Then you can YouTube it as soon as possible so we can all, and more importantly so Weebl can, see it.

[Purple Wabbit]

Just a question: if this isn't confirmed then why is it stickied? o.0

I mean, if we have confirmation then yes, this is important and worthy of attention. But make sure it's true first, yo?

[Macca]

I think the idea is to have more people looking for the ad and posibly trying to record it for everyone to be able to see it.

Ah, oki doki *shuts up*

[Loogie]

Hmm... my little brother and sister watch the Disney Channel all the time, I will interrogate them verily.

[MONKEY050]

You know, like shows like family guy and the simpsons do all the time?
They do that because they're on the same network [here].

Could also be something between the animators themselves or the producers or directors or something like that. They do it to make each other lol I suppose.

If this Disney thing is what it's described to be, it's a different situation.

[Lyricaus]

*tunes into disney channel* I', on searching patrol. Will let you know what I find. or not.

[Yam]

Somebody stole LARDMAN too!!! Help!!
He's being forced to give debt advice!!

[EDIT] How poo, I can't show you because I haven't posted enough yet :(

[esquilax]

Can you at least give us a clue? ;)

[La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo]

Oh God, is it that walking blob of white CGI shit?

[Yam]

Oh God, is it that walking blob of white CGI shit?
Yes it is! Is it Lardman or his ugly cousin? Either way its SHHHOCKING.

[Turkey Sandwich]

Surely you can just write down the URL?
You don't have to make it a link.

Done for ease of viewing. I've seen it. Never really thought of it as lardman though. guess it does kinda look like him. =/

[swampmonkey]

Yes, but more importantly, HAS ANY FOUND THE BADGER RIP OFF YET?????
The suspense is killing me.

[Corn_Fest]

Hello. There was this funny ad on Disney Channel a while ago, that went like "Kusco Kusco Kusco Kusco". I belive it was an ad for "Kusco's Academy" or something like that. Anyway I thought it was hilarious and wondered if there was a video of it online that you could send me, or if you could tell me when it will air again.

Thanks.

Lol, wonder what they'll send back.

[Midget]

Now I'm not a lawyer or anything, but something tells me that if weebl does decide to sue, you've probably just impaired his chances right there. -______-

I dunno though, maybe not. (As I said, not a lawyer. :p)

[Corn_Fest]

I never said I was associated with this website in any way.

To them, I'm just the random person who emailed them about an ad. and if I do get a response, I'll delete the post. It's an unconnected email account too.

I dunno, if you really think so I'll delete it, but no one else has found the video so...

[Midget]

Guess it's alright then, since they can't relate it to weebl in any way.

Now hopefully they'll reply with something useful. :p

[excalibur]

maybe weebl and disney can make a trade, the dvd cad get special rights and be changed from woobl to weebl and disney can keep the similer badger thingy?

[La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo]

Too bad weebls have nothing to do with Disney then isn't it? ¬¬

[excalibur]

Why on earth are people talking of sueing?

It's most likely a parody or a homage to the toon itself. You know, like shows like family guy and the simpsons do all the time?

the simpsons and family guy are both produced by fox so nothing is really that sacred

Too bad weebls have nothing to do with Disney then isn't it? ¬¬

the "weebl" was a like a oval bean like those mighty beanz that came out a while ago,it was made by hasbro and had the disney characters on it so that is why

[Corn_Fest]

Never got a reply. :(

[gruff]

That's because they're watching....

[CoffeeMachine]

This means war.

We shall make some PG tips to make use of Theanine, it makes you be relaxed, yet alert!

We need a copy of the video, refrences to every other time some idiot steals badgers (at least twice) and a lawyer, my friends dad is a lawyer, he may be able to give advice.

We'll take down the capitalist bastards.

Nevar forget

[captain canuck]

the simpsons and family guy are both produced by fox so nothing is really that sacred Came up in the Simpsons Movie thread didn't it?

Legaly speaking, Fox being the network that allows both programs airtime is not actually justification. Ownership of the images and content is still technically that of the animators and the writers respectively. Any lawsuit between the two parties would perhaps be settled by Fox (or perhaps the parent company), but that doesn't mean one set couldn't get pissed off and launch such an action.

It is more because of the relationships (apart from both being Fox programs) between both teams, that the two programs freely poke fun at one another using otherwise copyrighted images or intellectual property.

True, it would be harder to get away with if they were on different networks, but that would only mean the networks would attempt lawsuits on their behalf whether they wanted it or not, to protect their individual investments. They don't have direct ownership.

no offence mate but if you know that your either incredibly smart, spend to much time indoors or both

[Vercci]

If you pay attention you can find that out excalibur. you don't have to be smart to know that



In other news....Has anyone got the video of this ad yet?

[Extremity]

I've looked all over..
Even went to their website...

[excalibur]

i havnt found anything , yet , trying buying all the dvds and watching every episdoe till you dictate everything before they even say it :P

[captain canuck]

no offence mate but if you know that your either incredibly smart, spend to much time indoors or both my father's a retired lawyer, so copyright law and stuff occasionally found its way in my ears.

it doesn't mean i'm smart, just good at listening to details even when i'm not really that interested ;)

Speechless.:notworthy

[pecafresh]

i havnt seen it

[Ebzy]

was this specifically a theme for the advert? or the cartoon? because on the site they have the Emperor's New School theme song

http://psc.disney.go.com/disneychannel/emperorsnewschool/

[detdandman]

Is it even true? I bet if it is they took it off because of copyright wiffle-waffle.

[Emptyspraycan]

Yeah the Kuzco show whatever its called is (relatively) new but hasnt been around as long as the original badger song. Mabye no-one in Disney has seen badger song and thinks its a new idea?

[Starpossum]

I haven't heard the Disney version myself but it sounds too similar to simply be a coincidence...

[KRiTTELFiSCH]

I vote for aan S&D team.


Lets go out at night, using our ninja skills and sneaking up at the head director's house and attack 'im with PIE!

Actually Fox owns copyright over the shows, characters and situations portrayed within so, it is actual justification. It's part of the deal they have in exchange for giving airtime and funding.

[Tiggs]

Well as this seems to be a thread about stolen stuff...

http://www.skammich.com/crab.html

Got the weebls-stuff watermark still build in, but doesn't direct to the site. No credit anywhere on the site as far as I can see.

[Kiwi Man]

It directed to the site for me. (The one on the loader anyway.)

I guess they still probably don't have permission to use it though.

[Droyn]

thats just awefull where is it"! :mad:

[Extremity]

I'm quite sure it was not the theme song. I have a younger brother who watches this show quite alot.

If anything, it's either one person with alot of free time on their hands just messing around with weebl. Or it was an advert that was played one or twice, then hastily removed. I don't know.

Thread needz moar badgers.

[archbishop_josh]

K, was just looking for pictures of toast on google images (dont ask) and a picture came up which to had a striking resemblence to The Toast King him self. It is a character from what seems to be a quite popular internet comic called Mr.Toast. I have fashioned this image in order to make comparison...
http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w270/archbishop_josh/AAAmrtoast.gif
Im sure they are just two different charachters which happen to be very similar but i thought id bring it up. Seems like quite a good comic actually.

Link To Mr.Toast. (http://theimaginaryworld.com/page3.html)

[Fish Finger]

They're both slices of Toast.

Err that's all really.

[Turkey Sandwich]

They're both slices of Toast.

Err that's all really.

Albeit unrealistically large slices of toast.

[Tiode]

Standing on celestial bodies.

[happy-go-lucky]

The other one looks like lard man.

[Kiwi Man]

This all seems to be turning into wild accusations about people having ripped stuff off weebl. I don't really see the problem with 'rip offs' like that toast one anyway - so what if it is copying the Toast King? I doubt they're making profit off of it, and don't see how it's doing any harm.

[Ireseal]

Have you heard of this amazingly funny new site called:

Pumpkinfaceproductions.co.uk

It great it involves this nutter in a costume making insane videos chech it out.

[Darkeye]

I fear we might have been invaded.

Kudos on his manly "I don't want or need your dictionary - thank you" spelling of the word 'check' though.

PS Everknowing, what time is it there?

[johnny homicide]

dudes..... OMG!! Ive got some dirt..... i found out that one of the badger animators converted and went to disney long ago when there was that movie the emperors new groove..... turns out that he gave the idea for the rip-off, kuzco, the emperors new school. he also is currently the under-secretery to the head of the kuzco animation project

That, you mean? I think it is people trying to jump on a band wagon that isn't there- the "Weebls-stuff 'till I die" band wagon. I don't think any one fucking cares if Disney stole Badger-Badger, at least not so much as to post internet death threats. Stop the fanboy-ism you noobs, it isn't getting you anywhere.

[HobNob]

I;ve not heart of this but I have seen the Harry Potter one...it's weird...

[jessieoggy]

ive seen it on the disney channel . its about kuzcos new school. its kuzco instead of badgers .

may kuzco burn in hell. it has the same voice as the badgers aswel
