Rhapsody Rabbit und der Urheberstreit

Kürzlich hatte ich hier Trickfilme, die auffällig oft Franz Liszts Ungarische Rhapsody Nr.2 verarbeiten. Tja und prompt ereignete sich dabei auch ein Copyright-Streit.

The same year Rhapsody Rabbit charmed cartoon and classical music lovers alike, MGM studios released a suspiciously similar cartoon, The Cat Concerto, featuring its characters Tom and Jerry. MGM’s cartoon went on to win the 1946 Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons.catconcertotitle

Since the two cartoons both feature an animal attempting to play the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 while being antagonized by a mouse, it’s not surprising that Warner Bros. accused MGM of plagiarism. In turn, MGM accused Warner Bros. of the same.
