The story -->
French author Frank le Calvez took legal action against Disney, because he said that some of the characters from the film “Finding Nemo” look a lot like the characters from his book “Pierrot The Clown Fish” which was released before the movie was made. The judge ruled in Disney’s favor saying that Nemo existed before his book/story. Pierrot's story was published in 2002 and Disney studios had Nemo drawn by 2000. The writer was convicted of fraud and was ordered to pay damages.
