Appeals court reinstates suit against Disney over `Roger Rabbit' (http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/breaking_news/7789753.htm) - AP, 1/24/04

QuikQuote: A state appeals court reinstated a lawsuit that claims The Walt Disney Co. owes potentially millions of dollars in royalties from merchandising profits on its 1988 movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."
Gary K. Wolf, who wrote the 1981 novel on which the movie was based, contended in a 2001 lawsuit that Disney owes him a 5 percent royalty from non-cash licensing agreements it made with McDonald's and other companies to use characters from the film. Disney contends the royalty agreement with Wolf only covered cash transactions.
