A jury quickly rejected a man's claim that Disney's "Moana" was stolen from his story of a young surfer in Hawaii.

The lawsuit claimed Moana copied the screenplay of Woodall's "Bucky the Surfer Boy," which revolves around a boy who goes on a quest involving Hawaiian demigods.

Animator Buck Woodall continues to pursue a copyright trial over the sequel to the 2016 hit, though the jury's decision in this case may indicate he faces an uphill battle.
