Disney became a person involved in an ambiguous business when representatives of the film company decided to recover a fine with an ordinary primary school for the unauthorized show of the film "King Lion". Fortunately, the Director General of the Disney Bob Aiger was intervened in a timely manner, so this story awaits a happy ending.
On November 15, 2019, the California School Emerson was organized by a charitable "parent evening" in order to collect funds for intra-school needs. The entrance to the event cost 15 dollars, but if someone was not able to pay such an amount, they did not insist on payment. The participants of the event were treated with free pizza, and one of his parents acquired a disk with "King Lvom" to arrange his joint view.
The evening justified himself, because about $ 800 was collected, but two months later, the agency Movie Licensing USA was applied to the school on behalf of Disney. The fact is that viewing the film in the School walls is considered public, so this requires the purchase of a special license. Since this formality was not complied with, school was obliged to pay a fine of $ 250. The perturbation caused the fact that Disney was in the position of a petty company, which, with all his huge profits, wants to take money from the usual school.
The school's leadership was already ready to pay the right amount, but Iger said his word. Through his account in Twitter, he apologized for the situation and promised to make a donation to the school foundation himself.
