Mickey and Donald going to Court
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007
Don’t worry, they’ve done nothing wrong, they are being called in as key witnesses against a Chinese man who tried to make money using their images on counterfeit toys. No, this is no joke but both have been requested by Italian court to appear on a court hearing.
Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck will finally get their day in court if summons served by judicial authorities in Italy are to be believed. Signor Topolino (Mickey Mouse) and Signor Paperino (Donald Duck) “are kindly instructed to appear before the Naples Tribunal on December 7,” reads a copy of the summons, obtained by Milan-based daily Corriere della Sera and published Tuesday.

How’s that for a bureaucratic blunder! While Judicial authorities didn’t have an answer on the mistake, it is pretty sure both Disney stars will not show up on the set court date.
