This prompted The Walt Disney Company to sue one of Golden Films' distributors after a string of Disney Renaissance-era films ended up in direct competition with Golden Films' productions on the home video market. As both Disney and Golden Films had relied on the same public domain source material, Disney ultimately lost the case.[1] The Golden Films library also uses classical music and over 200 original songs.
