After a series of stories on the disgraceful piracy going on at Beijing’s Shijingshan Amusement Park, the Japanese media continues its relentless assault on China’s intellectual property theft. In this new report, filmed after Shinjingshan Amusement Park bowed to Disney’s demands and started cleaning up its act, Japanese reports decide to check out Beijing’s three other amusement parks and check if similar violations exist. Sure enough, there are loads of copywrite (scroll down English language summary of video):

This particular park has a main character that bears a striking resemblance to Disney’s Winnie the Pooh. However, park employees insist that the character, which has been in use for several years, is their own original main character.

As you can see, they didn’t just copy Pooh-san. Although, that Mickey is fat enough to be considered an original character, I guess.

They’ve even got Snow White and her seven dwarves! Wait a second. Where are Snow White’s arms? OH DEAR LORD…noooo!! (The video adds in a comical scream sound effect.)

Finally, we have some of the goods being sold at the park. That’s totally not Tweety or Pluto, ok? And don’t even think about claiming that blue bear is Winnie the Pooh!

According to the report, this park first opened its doors to the public on the 11th of this month. If you’re thinking that newer Chinese amusement parks don’t engage in intellectual property theft, you’re sadly mistaken. This park had an unauthorized statue of the Japanese anime character from Saint Seiya, as well as some really nice copies of the characters from Antz.

The third amusement park was kind of a let down. The only violation they reported was a Minnie Mouse character printed on the park pamphlet. When they asked a staff member if they could meet this character, the staff member told them that the character only appears on holidays.

Following their investigation of individual parks, the Japanese journalists decide to call up the construction company that built a copy of Disney’s Dumbo ride at one of the parks. The company informs them that the ride is not copying Disney in any way whatsoever, and that the elephant ride is based on the elephant show at the park (can those elephants fly?). The company also informs them that it is currently busy doing construction work for one of the official Disney Parks!

They finish the segment by displaying some of the crappy character merchandise that is on sale in Beijing’s amusement parks. The most interesting is a Winnie the Pooh that is wearing strange clothing similar to that of the Japanese character Anpanman. He’s also holding a bomb in his hands! If Hamas ever gets tired of their unauthorized Mickey Mouse, I think Pooh-san here could fill in for him!
