No, you strike me as the kind who doesn't want to discuss anything
with people who disagree with you.
They are two entirely different characters with a set of treads and
binocular eye/cameras in common.
The stories are entirely different and would never stand up as
copyright infringement.
What strikes me as odd with this (and the earlier "Lion King" debate
that was going on forever) is that people will grab some frankly
unimportant point and shake it to death while I've never seen anyone
discuss "Aladdin" which really had several cases of "lifting" from
another film. (I'll let you guys figure out which film. It shouldn't
be that hard.)
