The guy who created King Cake Baby mascot for the New Orleans Pelicans NBA team says a horror movie stole his design for the killer’s mask.
The NBA‘s New Orleans Pelicans have a mascot named Pierre Pelican. He’s a guy in a bird suit. Simple enough. But they have a secondary mascot who’s not that simple. In fact, he’s HORRIFYING. His name is King Cake Baby, and he’s a nod to the Mardi Gras tradition of eating King Cakes, with little plastic baby dolls baked inside. He’s an over-sized baby with a face that’ll give you NIGHTMARES.
The guy who created the mascot pointed out that the face looks a lot like the mask the killer wears in “Happy Death Day“. And so, of course, here comes the lawsuit. He believes the first movie made around $200 million, and he wants at least HALF of that. It actually only made $125 million worldwide.
He also wants a judge to stop them from using the mask until they can come to an agreement. But it’s probably a little late for that. The sequel “Happy Death Day 2U” comes out on Friday.
