Talk:The Legend of the North Wind

Untitled
The evidence that this film is originally from Spain should be better sourced. We are the only site in the internet stating this, based only on the www.helsinki.fi reference that it's from Euskal Pictures International, which is in Spain. At best the original spanish title should be found. Hoverfish Talk 22:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Juan Bautista Berasategi's lawsuit
Could someone fluent in Spanish look into Juan Baustista Berasategi's plagiarism lawsuit against the producers of this film? Using Google Translate, I am able to glean that Berasategi began the film (as "Balleneros"), I'm not sure how far he got, but somewhere down the line, the completed film was released with Carlos Varela and Maite Ruiz de Austri credited as directors. Berasategi sued the producers for plagiarism, and eventually won - I've seen a copy of the film which replaces Varela and Ruiz de Austri's director credit with one for Berasategi. (I uploaded a screenshot at http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5633/vlcsnap2010090414h23m28.png.)

Can anyone look into this? Here are some Spanish websites which talk about it: A page about Berasategi: http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/13672 A page about the film: http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/150097 This is some legal brief when the suit was decided: http://dreamers.com/cgibin/foros.cgi?foro=atimes?leer=48
