Forget Disney, this was my favorite case of copyright insanity.
This is a 100 year old song, sung at nearly every birthday party in America. No matter its origins, it has become as much a part of American life as hotdogs and fireworks on 4th of July.
The fact that it couldn't be depicted in a movie without paying some corporation thousands and thousands of dollars was just absurd!
