Does this look like Mickey Mouse to you?
Beijing officials deny allegations of trademark violations thusly:
When asked about the resemblance to Mickey, a spokesperson replied, “They have square holes in their ears. They are not copies.” The spokesperson suggested the statues are unique because they incorporate the themes of old Chinese coins (the square holes), the year of the rat, the Olympics and the financial district into the design. However, children passing by the statues were seen pointing and saying, “Look! It’s Mickey!” Source: JapanProbe

1Listen to the children: they are good at seeing when “the emperor wears no clothes”, and can spot - and tell - when a statue obviously looks like Disney’s Mickey Mouse caracter!
