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!

    This game is still one of my snes favorites. Banger soundtrack. Easy to pick up and put down - and was a perfect example of “easy to learn, but hard to master.”

    I still recommend it to people who play retro games to this day.
