People really don't understand trademark despite it being in the name. It's a trade mark. It's a mark on something you trade. It only applies to commercial products. Unless Warner Brothers sells children there's no trademark violation.
With the way the world is lately, it wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Although, if any one company was going to that, it'd probably be Disney.
When they age out of the It's A Small World cast, Disney sells them to Nestlé.
I'm prepared to believe this, so won't be fact-checking it.
Oh are you a journalist
I sometimes pretend to be one at home. "Hold the front page!", "this story is too good not to be true!", etc.
Aha but the passport office knew something we didn't.
Clearly this is proof they sell children overseas.
