Yup, nor do Yoda or Grogu transform into mini monsters when they eat after mid-night.. If I remember correctly its been a long time since I saw that movie, but I seem to remember consuming food after a certain time having an unwanted effect.

Also getting wet, IIRC.
But that "Mr.Hyde" feature being missing from Grogu wouldn't protect vs. a (c) claim.
What provides protection is that Yoda represents "prior art" & prior IP.
But apparently, Disney was aware of the resemblance ahead of time, and even leaned-in intentionally:

Conspiracy Theorist:

Is there actual litigation? A quick Google sees a flurry of press coverage a month back, "'Gremlins' Creator Joe Dante Claims Baby Yoda Was 'Stolen' From Gizmo" &c, but no actual lawsuits.
Size, "tubby" sort of teddy-bear build, oversized/elongate ears, large eyes... The claim isn't utterly absurd on the face of it.
But there would be one GIGANTIC problem with any lawsuit: Yoda himself. Yoda has all those features, too: tubby build, oversized/elongate ears, large eyes. Grogu is obviously a "baby yoda" (much moreso than a Gizmo-ripoff).
And Yoda pre-dates Gizmo (Empire Strikes Back 1980 -vs- Gremlins 1984).
If a lawsuit were ever filed, sith lawyers from the House of Mouse would eat them alive.

I believe Disney have a whole firm of lawyers who represent supervillains over at Marvel, there’s a documentary about it next week.
Dina:
A documentary ;D
Conspiracy Theorist, Mab seems to like Disney, at least Frozen. I am not sure if she saw "Tinkerbell, secret of the wings" though. I have not watched it myself, but apparently it is about warm faeries and Winter faeries becoming friends.

Maybe Frozen was Disney's peace-offering to Mab.
;D
= = =
Maybe Frozen marked Mab's conquest of Disney.
