I Literally Bet You Can't Name Just 25 Disney Characters...And You Won't Prove Me Wrong
Hot Topic
🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Disney
Here's how this quiz works: Below, you will be prompted to name one Disney character for every letter of the alphabet, minus X. I've included just about every character both myself and the internet could come up with, from old school classics to the latest Pixar additions. This quiz only includes characters from Disney's animated movies (no DCOMs or live-action movies). Some characters have last names included, but only if they're relevant or well-known (ex: Buzz Lightyear). If a character has a title before their name, the first letter of the title is used (ex: Mother Gothel would apply for M, but not for G). Spelling does count, so try your best to get as close as you can. Good luck!

Will Jared Leto's Sexual Misconduct Allegations Impact His Big Studio Movies ‘Tron: Ares' and ‘Masters of the Universe'?
Jared Leto is about to step into a global spotlight he hasn't occupied since 2022, when the emo vampire movie 'Morbius' flopped at the box office. The Oscar winner has two starring roles in the big-budget films 'Tron: Ares' and 'Masters of the Universe' in the next 12 months. Along with his designer luggage, he'll bring the baggage of sexual misconduct accusations. A Saturday report from Air Mail contained accounts from 9 accusers (almost all speaking anonymously) saying that Leto serially pursued them, some while they were underage, in the mid-to-late 2000s. In some cases, Leto was accused of exposing himself and harassment. In a public statement, Leto flatly denied any wrongdoing, but the report arrives at a fraught moment for the actor carrying Disney's 'Tron' franchise, as well appearing as the villain in Amazon MGM's He-Man adaptation. Industry insiders are wondering how he can shoulder the pressure of selling two theatrical movies and dance around the damning claims. Will a glossy monthly magazine invite Leto to flaunt his signature long locks and elevated fashion on the cover if he doesn't elaborate on the accusations? Will Hot Ones serve him a hellfire habanero chicken wing? Will Jimmy Fallon spin his Wheel of Impressions if Leto has become radioactive? Those type of appearances are standard for an actor promoting a big movie like 'Tron: Ares,' which is a rare first-name-on-the-call-sheet gig for Leto. Over the past decade, he's largely focused on supporting roles in films like 'Suicide Squad' and 'House of Gucci' that often find him outfitted in elaborate makeup and prosthetics. Leto is currently on tour with his band 30 Seconds to Mars through the end of summer. Directly after he's meant to gear up for the Oct. 10 release of the next 'Tron' film, in which he co-stars with Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and Gillian Anderson. Disney is no stranger to leading man headaches around its franchise films, having soldiered through Hurricane Johnny Depp during his 'Pirates of the Caribbean' run. Most think the Leto allegations aren't comparable to the numerous scandals that rocked Depp. The most explosive allegations in the Air Mail piece were its claims that Leto used sexually aggressive language with a minor, asking her if she had ever given oral sex. The report also said that Leto paraded with his 'dick out' in front of a 17-year-old at his home. Leto denied both accusations. None of the alleged misbehavior happened on a film set, sources close to 'Tron' noted, and no criminal charges or civil suits have been brought against the star. Another insider close to 'Masters of the Universe' made similar points. Representatives for Walt Disney Studios and Amazon MGM had no comment on the matter. A rep for Leto declined to provide comment for this story. There are several playbooks floating on how to reconcile personal crisis with contractually mandated media saturation. Blake Lively decided to hide in plain sight earlier this year, attending photo calls in elaborate gowns to hype her thriller 'Another Simple Favor.' Not once did she address her scorched-earth court battle with her 'It Ends With Us' director Justin Baldoni. Shia LaBeouf ran headfirst into a tornado of his own making last month in Cannes, appearing in black tie to support 'Slauson Rec,' an intimate look at the actor's disastrous attempt to start a theater group in South Central Los Angeles. The film documented alarming bouts of rage and regret from LaBeouf, who was open about his sobriety struggles, and even touched on abuse allegations from former partner FKA Twigs. His appearance seemed to part of an effort by LaBeouf to show he's attempting to make amends. One seasoned C-suite executive believes that Leto may benefit from a feeling that the #MeToo movement has lost steam in the current political landscape. 'In this climate, you'd get in more trouble for saying something bad about Donald Trump on the air,' the exec noted.

Disney and Universal sue AI company over use of copyrighted characters: 'Piracy is piracy'
Disney and NBCUniversal have accused AI company Midjourney of copyright infringement. The plaintiffs accuse the company of using its characters, such as Spider-Man, Star Wars' Darth Vader and Yoda, Disney's Princess Elsa from Frozen, the Minions, Homer Simpson, Deadpool and Wolverine, and more via an online service that allows users to create images, according to lawsuit, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court in the Central District of California in Los Angeles. "For more than 100 years, Disney and Universal have delighted audiences around the world by investing in and fostering American creative innovation and producing some of the greatest motion pictures and fictional characters of all time," the lawsuit states. "Midjourney, however, seeks to reap the rewards of Plaintiffs' creative investment by selling an artificial intelligence ("AI") image-generating service ("Image Service") that functions as a virtual vending machine, generating endless unauthorized copies of Disney's and Universal's copyrighted works." The suit continues, "By helping itself to Plaintiffs' copyrighted works, and then distributing images mages (and soon videos) that blatantly incorporate and copy Disney's and Universal's famous characters—without investing a penny in their creation—Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism. Piracy is piracy, and whether an infringing image or video is made with AI or another technology does not make it any less infringing." According to the lawsuit, the startup reportedly made $300 million in revenue last year. Its 21 million users, as of September, paid for subscriptions of $10 to $120 monthly in order to, according to the lawsuit, "view and download copies and derivatives of Plaintiffs' valuable copyrighted characters." They called it "textbook copyright infringement." The lawsuit states that the company had almost 21 million users as of September 2024. It launched its image service in 2022 and reportedly made $300 million in revenue last year. Disney and NBCU said they asked the company to stop using their work, but the company has not and has released new versions of its Image Service. In a statement, Horacio Gutierrez, the senior executive vice president, chief legal and compliance officer of the Walt Disney Company, said: "Our world-class IP is built on decades of financial investment, creativity and innovation—investments only made possible by the incentives embodied in copyright law that give creators the exclusive right to profit from their works. We are bullish on the promise of AI technology and optimistic about how it can be used responsibly as a tool to further human creativity. But piracy is piracy, and the fact that it's done by an AI company does not make it any less infringing."Kim Harris, executive vice president and general counsel of NBCUniversal, also provided a statement. "Creativity is the cornerstone of our business," Harris said. "We are bringing this action today to protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us and the significant investment we make in our content. Theft is theft regardless of the technology used, and this action involves blatant infringement of our copyrights." The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and "permanent injunctive relief" to halt the use of the characters. EW has reached out to Midjourney for comment.

"Piracy Is Piracy": Disney Sues Midjourney for Massive Copyright Violation
Disney and NBCUniversal — a pair of media behemoths behind franchises ranging from "Star Wars" and "Toy Story" to "Minions" and "Shrek" — are suing AI company Midjourney, accusing it of enabling copyright infringement on a massive scale through its AI image generator tech. In the lawsuit, which was filed in a California district court today, the two Hollywood juggernauts accused the firm of ignoring its previous requests to stop violating their intellectual property rights. "Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism," the scathing complaint reads, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal. It's a major escalation in the fight between copyright holders and AI firms, a battle that has been brewing for years. Per Axios, it's the "first legal action that major Hollywood studios have taken against a generative AI company." And it's not just the use of image generators; generative AI writ large has triggered a barrage of lawsuits, with media companies accusing the likes of OpenAI and Google of training their large language models on their materials without fair compensation. Those disputes have turned into a major pain point for the AI industry, despite surging enthusiasm for the tech. Considering the sheer size of both Disney and Universal — Disney is the third largest media company by market cap in the world — Midjourney could soon be in a world of hurt. Disney, in particular, has a long track record of closely guarding its enormous cache of intellectual property. "Our world-class IP is built on decades of financial investment, creativity and innovation—investments only made possible by the incentives embodied in copyright law that give creators the exclusive right to profit from their works," said Disney's chief legal compliance officer, Horacio Gutierrez, in a statement. "We are bullish on the promise of AI technology and optimistic about how it can be used responsibly as a tool to further human creativity," he added. "But piracy is piracy, and the fact that it's done by an AI company does not make it any less infringing." The lawsuit explained in an example how Midjourney users could easily request a picture of the Disney-owned "Star Wars" character Darth Vader in a "particular setting or doing a particular action," and the AI "obliges by generating and displaying a high-quality, downloadable image." That kind of loose approach to copyright has been an open secret for quite some time. In January 2024, noted AI critic Gary Marcus and film industry concept artist Reid Southen warned in a piece for IEEE Spectrum that tools like Midjourney and OpenAI's DALL-E3 could land them in a "copyright minefield." The pair found that it was "easy to generate many plagiaristic outputs, with brief prompts related to commercial films," including well-known Marvel superheroes, Nintendo's Super Mario, and Disney's Darth Vader. Disney and Universal are framing their legal action as a way to "protect the hard work of all the artists whose work entertains and inspires us," said NBCU executive VP and general of counsel Kim Harris in the statement. Given the lack of a clear legal precedent, it'll be fascinating to watch the lawsuit unfold over what's likely to turn into a years-long courtroom battle.
