i think disney's gonna sue somebody (dr. doolittle related)

if you watch this video they briefly show a puppet that i'm almost 100% sure is zazu from the lion king (stage version), now i'm no expert but can't they not do that?

I believe it's the same "shop" building the puppets as the Lion King. Puppets wear out after time, so a Zazu replacement was probably being built, was filmed and made it into the Dr. Dolittle video.

You're right. If Disney paid them for their services then Disney (no doubt) OWNS any property created by them. It's true of the work of the old Disney animators and just as true (I imagine) of todays designers.

It COULD be the other way around. I know that set and lighting designers own their designs. Perhaps the actual designer of the puppets own the deisngs, and allows Disney to use his designs. The actual builder is just the middle man.

Yes, that is Zazu. He's also shown in another place in the video where they're putting the orange tips on his wings. Also near the beginning check out the drawing of the gazelle on the wall, definitely a gazelle from Lion King. And near the end they show a person working on a puppet's hand. That looks a lot like Timon to me.
Did you ever see something and say, "I just have to have it"? Sometimes a dream appears unattainable...but for anyone who's on the downside of advantage, and relying purely on courage, it's possible.
