July

  • July 28: André Franquin's heirs and copyright holders win the trial against the Walt Disney Animation Studios over their animated TV series version of Franquin's comics character Marsupilami, citing breaches of its license contract: Disney had failed to produce thirteen half-hour episodes (instead producing six to eight minute shorts) or use its "best efforts" to secure a commitment from a network to air the show, and it launched its marketing campaign during a time when the show was not being broadcast. Marsu also accused Disney of fraudulent concealment; the judge noted that Disney had decided to not devote sufficient resources to the Marsupilami project, and had concealed this fact from Marsu.[19][20] Disney pays back the damage and hands the rights to the series back to Franquin's company Marsu Productions.

August

  • August 6: The Iron Giant premiers, but doesn't do well at the box office, contributing to the decline of hand drawn animated films, in favor of fully CGI animation. It will only become a cult classic later.[21]
