Judge Rules in Favor of Family Guy
FOX’s animated Family Guy is not guilty of copyright infringement, per court ruling, for a song parody featured in one of the episodes.
The episode offered up a new version of Disney’s “When You Wish Upon a Star,” which subsequently launched a lawsuit from the major corporation in 2007. The ditty originally appeared in the 1940 flick Pinocchio. The Family Guy version, “I Need a Jew,” was perhaps a little less family-friendly…but it wasn’t illegal.
Despite the content of the song - “anti-Semitic lyrics” - a U.S. District Judge ruled that the lyrics of the song and tone of the piece was “strikingly different” from the original version. Since winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song after its film debut, “When You Wish Upon a Star” has been recorded by more than one hundred subsequent recording artists and orchestras.

This is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. It holds a positive note and send an awesome message to all ages. I first saw this movie on the Disney channel and I liked it so much I spent 2 months searching for to buy. Unfortunately it wasn’t available to buy new. I finally found it at a local movie rental place and talked the owner into selling me the only VHS copy. I have recently purchased it on DVD.

I love The Simpsons and I love watching the reruns that are always on TV. I love the many characters of the Simpsons and my favorite character would have to be the “Cat Lady.” She is absolutely hilarious and I love how she keeps reappearing in some of the future episodes after her introduction in the kids TV episode. The Simpsons will always be part of my life and I know so many hilarious quotes from the Simpsons. It is a great show to laugh at and I loved the Simpsons Movie too.
