An Italian court has ordered the following animated Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck ,his girlfriend Daisy, and Tweety to testify in a counterfeiting case.
Lawyers believe was a clerical error that led a court in Naples to summon the entire Mickey Mouse club to testify against a Chinese man accused of counterfeiting products of Disney and Warner Bros.Fiorenza Sorotto, vice president of Disney Company Italia said:
“Unfortunately they cannot show up, as they are residents of Disneyland,” “It certainly pleased us that the characters were considered real, because that’s what we try to do.”
Disney’s lawyer Cristina Ravelli said:
“Let’s hope the characters will not be prosecuted for failing to appear,” Ravelli quipped.
We do live in a Looney Tunes world.
