A still from the film 2015 film Inside Out. A parenting and child development specialist has sued Walt Disney Co and its Pixar unit, accusing them of stealing from her the concept for their 2015 blockbuster movie, Inside Out. In March, the Hollywood screenwriter Gary Goldman, whose credits include the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Total Recall, sued Disney for allegedly copying its Oscar-winning animated film Zootopia from his work. According to her complaint, Inside Out director Pete Docter, former Disney Chief Financial Officer Thomas Staggs and several other Disney executives had access to her pitch. In the Zootopia case, Disney has denied wrongdoing and asked a federal judge to dismiss Goldman's complaint.
