Disney-Pixar wins lawsuit over Cars ripoff in China

In July of 2015 the Blue MTV movie studio in China released an animated cartoon, “The Autobots”. Disney and Pixar sued the studio for the similarities to their hit movies, “Cars” and “Cars 2” and recently won a settlement of 1.35 million yuan or $195,000.00 USD.

A Shanghai judge said they characters of K1 and K2 in The Autobots too closely resembled Lightening McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli in Cars and Cars 2. The judge also said that Blue MTV copied parts of the film and that the title, posters and characters were to similar to Disney/Pixar’s Cars and Cars 2.

What do you think does Autobots (which is actually from Transformers) look like Pixar’s Cars?
