Lawsuit
In 1975, the film's producers were sued by Walt Disney Productions, for the use of the "Mickey Mouse March" in the film.[2] The judgement went against the producers, as the march was used excessively, negating their claim of parody and fair use. It was cited in Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates.
