A writer named Alexander Buback has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against Disney, alleging that the company's animated film "Moana" closely resembles a script he submitted to them in 2005 titled "The Quest for Nereus." Buback claims there are "breathtaking similarities" between his script and "Moana," including plot points, character arcs, and thematic elements. He asserts that after submitting his script, Disney executives met with him multiple times, seemingly to extract more content from him, before ultimately rejecting his work. The lawsuit highlights specific parallels such as the journey of a young hero to save their village, the presence of a demigod, and the quest involving a magical artifact. Buback is seeking damages for copyright infringement, breach of implied contract, and unfair business practices.
