What I believe:
Mubs/Critic, or Mubs, or Critic, or whomever he/she/they are, has a relative or acquaintance who developed an idea about a NASCAR themed animated film.
Coming up with an idea about a NASCAR themed animated film isn't exactly something that could likely be considered unique.
Said relative/acquaintance of Mubs/Critic pitched said idea, which was likely not unique in the world, to NASCAR, in a fruitless meeting, the kind of which happens quite frequently.
The alleged harmed party should be able to produce original materials, along with names, dates, times of said meetings and presentations.
Should lawyers persue the alleged harm in question, countless pieces of evidence and depositions will back said claims.
What I do not believe, in the absence of further evidence:
That Lassiter was present for said meetings between the alleged harmed party and NASCAR.
That any acquaintance or business partner of Lassiter, or any other Pixar employee, was present at said meetings.
That any ideas, concepts or characters from the aforementioned original material was leaked to or otherwise obtained by Lassiter, or any other Pixar employee.
Conclusion:
Someone had an idea, an idea that contained similarities to Cars. Unfortunately, that person didn't have the clout, connections or ability to have their version of a somewhat common idea brought to fruition on the big screen. The Pixar big dogs with all their resources did have the ability to bring their somewhat similar version of this somewhat common idea to life. It's hard to beat the big guys in this industry, and losing to them doesn't mean anything wrong or illegal happened. Until it can be shown that Lassiter and Pixar had direct knowledge of the characters and concepts in someone else's original materials this will simply go down as one of a thousand cases where someone had an idea they couldn't get past conception, only to painfully watch someone else make tens of millions off an independently developed idea that was very similar to their own.
Give me some proof to show otherwise and I'll sit back and watch the fireworks, because Pixar should be taken to task if they truely stole the idea.
