The name change from Planet One to Planet 51 was a result of the demands made from another entity branded Planet One, which produces children and teen TV programming. They made contact with the film's producers early on to resolve the trademark and brand confusion issues. The Spanish film company made an offer to Planet One for all ownership rights to their "Planet One" trademarks and related website URLs. Planet One chose not to take that offer and to protect their brand and trademarks that have been active for many years. As a result, the film's producers chose to rename the film Planet 51. Coincidentally, the number 51 in the name also refers to the name of high top secret military base Area 51, and may also be a hint of the year, 1951.
