'Mr. Ray' Sues Pixar, Says Hurt by 'Finding Nemo'

Taking a lesson from director Spike Lee, children's entertainer Mr. Ray on Tuesday said he was suing Walt Disney Co. and Pixar Animation Studios Inc. because a fishy character in hit movie "Finding Nemo" was destroying his reputation.

...

The Pixar movie "Finding Nemo," distributed by Disney and likely to be the second-biggest-grossing animated movie ever, follows a father fish's search for his lost son and includes a kindly school teacher character, a manta ray named "Mr. Ray."

Use of the "Mr. Ray" name would "obliterate and destroy Plaintiff's reputation" and the market for his products, the Mr. Ray from New Jersey said.

Yodlowsky in a statement compared his plight to that of director Spike Lee, who sued and settled with Viacom Inc. over ownership rights to his professional name when the media conglomerate decided to rename its TNN network "Spike TV."

Well, at least he's honest about his dishonesty...
