A local postal worker by the name of Timothy McGee is claiming that he was jipped out of Andre 3000’s, Cartoon’s and Turner Broadcasting’s animated-Emmy-award-winning series: “Class of 3000.”
McGee is suing all three parties for a sum of $2 million. According to the Boston Herald McGee stated, “…characters, artwork, storylines [and] concepts” were all originated by him and were to be used for a project titled “The Music Factory.”
The actual law suite states “…the artist known as Andre ‘3000’ Benjamin was credited with the creation, executive production and starring role in ‘Class of 3000.’” The law suit goes on to say, “…the similarities between the expression of Mr. McGee’s work in ‘The Music Factory’ and that of ‘Class of 300’ are sufficiently detailed and pervasive.”
McGee is claiming that he pitched his series to a Cartoon Network executive, Michael Lazzo, in 1997. McGee is saying that his project was rejected, and in 2006 (almost ten years later) “Class of 3000″ began to air on Cartoon Network.
