The Legend of Sarila

(2013)

Disney Enterprises Inc v. Phase 4 Films Inc

Defendant Phase 4 distributed the animated feature The Legend of Sarila theatrically under that title and then renamed the film FROZEN LAND for the home video release with nearly identical logos and fonts to Disney’s FROZEN — to allegedly create confusion in the marketplace and profit off the success of the Disney motion picture.

Judgment: The Parties have negotiated and entered into a settlement agreement that resolves the Action; Phase 4 Films shall immediately cease marketing and distribution of The Legend of Sarila as FROZEN LAND. Any further distribution, marketing, and/or promotion of The Legend of Sarila or related products, irrespective of format, shall be under the name The Legend of Sarila or another name not confusingly similar to or intended to create any association with FROZEN.  DEI (Disney) shall be paid as a settlement payment the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00).
