Well I stumbled over an interesting story, that naturally ended up in an article to write.

This one’s pretty odd, but the tl;dr version is that Pixar sued DMA Design. They’d created a game on the SNES which featured a unicycle. That’s it. That’s the extent of the copyright infringement Pixar claimed.

Back in 1987 Pixar had made a CG short which featured a unicycle, and so all those years later…they got weirdly litigious.

If you’re curious, I found this a super interesting story to cover!

    Uniracers was an awesome racing game. I also loved how the manual had a blank page for notes, but it wasn’t blank, it was filled with a rant about how nobody uses the notes section of a manual 🤣
