10 Times Disney Blatantly Stole From Other Movies

7. Treasure Planet (Titan A.E.)

Though Disney's Treasure Planet released more than two years after Fox's Titan A.E., both movies were in production together for several years, with some not-so-friendly competition being fostered between the tonally and aesthetically kindred projects.

Where to begin? They're both ambitious, big-budget animated sci-fi adventure movies which employed a combination of traditional 2D animation and cutting-edge CGI animation, both featured fatherless rogue protagonists sent on a journey through space with a ragtag team, and touted similar surrogate father plotlines, turncoat subplots, technological trinkets and so on.

It's staggering, honestly, and though they're both around the same middling quality of movie, the chances of these two projects emerging organically are virtually nil.

Not merely content to copy Titan A.E. conceptually, however, Disney went one step further by also having Treasure Planet bomb colossally at the box office, although not nearly as catastrophically as their competition (Titan didn't even crack half its $90 million budget).
