Background Insight

The production company and filmmaker stated that it was an independently produced film, while several critics and people who watched the film accused it of being copied from Disney and Pixar's Cars franchise (with the characters looking like the characters from Cars). In July 2016, The Walt Disney Company filed a copyright case through the Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court and on December 29, 2016 the court ruled in favor of Disney, fining Bluemtv and G-Point $190,000 and ordering them to cease copyright infringement. A sequel for the film, The Autobots 2 was scheduled for release in Summer 2017. However, the sequel was canceled due to the copyright case. (Source: Wikipedia, edited)
