And even if he does win ( which i don't think he will ) 2 million for Disney is like $100 for an average man.

This man is not an idiot, and I think some of you need to re-read this article.
Let me ask you something, if this guy was going against some no-name company, would you still call him an idiot? Would you still side with the company? Well, sure, some factors would be different. But the principle of the matter is the same. I'm willing to bet at least half of you would think twice before calling this guy an idiot. There are several factors that I think people are overlooking and passing off as this guy's "idiocy". I think the fact that the thing has been dated correctly, and the fact that it's not just your average doodle is a huge factor. Whoever did draw this obviously was not going to just sit there and doodle, the person put money into the drawing (whoever the artist is). Am I saying that by not knowing who the artist is that I side with Disney? No. I'm just saying that I don't know who it is, but I think that it's quite possible that it could have come from Walt. As for the location of where the drawing was found. There are many ways that it could have ended up there. I think that this person's dedication to this drawing shows that it's more then a simple attempt to make money. There are probably easier and faster ways to do so. I would like someone to tell me where exactly in this article that it says that he's suing Disney. This thread in a way has saddened me. So many people have just said "this guy is an idiot. Disney wins" without any real argument. It almost seems like you're saying "Disney wins because it's Disney". It's like the guy doesn't even have a chance. Also, what happened to the benefit of the doubt? -Toashtee

Why don't they check the finger prints on it? (Okay that was stupid.) The telephone thing is creepy I mean are they trying to say Walt Disney invented the modern day telephone? I think he probably either
1.Bought some old fancy paper and copied it off the internet (or drew it) 2.Paid someone to get old fancy paper and draw it. 3.Maybe it is Walt's original masterpiece.. That...would be so...creepy. @_@ *starts to play the haunted mansion theme song* |

Have any of you decided to read the OTHER articles on this:
"He got it for peanuts, considering. But there's more. Now Stein is taking Disney to court. "I'm suing them for $50-million, the copyright on Mickey Mouse, and the right to tell the Walt Disney story," said Stein. Stein believes somebody must have a copy of an old newsreel showing his drawing over the shoulder of a very young Walt Disney. Perhaps his lawsuit will flush that film out, and prove he possesses one very valuable mouse. Somehow I doubt that merely owning this drawing, even if it was the first depiction of Mickey Mouse ever, would mean owning the copyright. There are many, many ways a corporate lawyer can argue against this." "Stein has now decided to take the Disney Corporation to court because since 1989 they have been refusing to look at the drawing he has and to tell him whether they think he has the original drawing of Mickey and if not why. Stein states that the Disney Corporation refusing to even look at the drawing which he says has handwriting on the back that he thinks are written by Disney himself. Stein states, "I'm suing them for $50-million, the copyright on Mickey Mouse, and the right to tell the Walt Disney story."" There are many stories on this. Whether he is right or wrong..I think he believes in his heart he is right..or at least convinced himself he is. Here is the pic:

True, There's no proof Walt drew it, but there's no proof he didn't. But Disney has been sued so many time's it's not funny, and always won. I think 50-Million dollars is a little too much to sue for.

That doesn't look much like the earliest drawings of Mickey I've seen:
This Stein fella's drawing seems like a much later version of Mickey Mouse. |

Actually read the articles first. You'll find he has many sorts of evidence to offer. |

The picture Jen posted looks completely different, more of a current version of the drawing. As Neoteny posted, it looks NOTHING like the old ones, they were more simple. I find this stupid, Disney is going to win.

I didn't say there wasn't any evidence, I'm merely saying that there is many things that could disprove this fact as there is to prove this fact. But this man is going to sue them for 50-million dollars, copyright of Mickey Mouse, and the right to show the video clip(whatever the video clip is). He might put the entire Disney Empire in jeopardy. You can disagree with me all you want but I believe that he is trying to pull a scam to make a few million dollars worth on a fake painting. You can disagree with me, but that is my belief, and I'm stitcking to it.

From what I heard, I found no source of evidence. I think Disney knows better than some weirdo dude (I forget his name xD).
Besides, I bet this is almost over and the judge is just "Oh let it be over" ~Penguinz |
