General Land Before Time / Re: Did a Disney movie inspire an LBT storyline?

@GreyLizard226: Erm, I also agree with @aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) , which means I wouldn't have much to add to the discussion of this thread. Just because nobody is responding doesn't mean people are ignoring you, could just mean they don't really have anything to add to this thread. And with the type of topic that you posted, I'm not surprised that only one person had really anything to say about it after he basically said what everyone else was probably thinking.
As for my own thoughts, while it is possible that the Disney movie that you pointed out inspired an LBT plotline... I mean, there are just so many movies out there that have the same plot lines as other movies in the past, I am talking about this in general. I can't name specifics off top of my head really, but there's just bound to be many cliche/reused/older plot lines that many movies will and have already used by their movie predecessors. I'd say its rare for a movie to be completely original/new these days, and that the strengths/merits of a movie will come from how they execute an already established trope instead. Execution being key is what I'm saying here.
Don't take this personally, but there are many topics posted by other people that hadn't really gotten attention either, just like some of yours. It normally isn't anything personal, just either a lack of anything to say or perhaps a lack of interest. Not every topic will hit, and that is okay. Embrace the topics that do have plenty of nuance and discussion towards it, and let go/not worry too much about the topics that didn't get any replies. I should know, since I've had some dud topics in the past I'm pretty sure.
And also, it's always okay to bump a thread every once in awhile if you want people to notice your older topic and hopefully have people respond to it. Put "bump" or something like that. And personally, while I do see why Mumbling hurtled the accusation of spam towards you, since I have noticed some of your past topics being bumped in the fashion of "Why isn't this getting enough replies" and whatnot (just a bit more subtle way of bumping a thread), though I don't think your spamming since its not like you've done this sort of thing, either not often enough, or not too much within a small span of time, or in the grand scheme of things, not enough to cause a nuisance in the community space in my opinion.

I agree with Aabicus. Please also stop spamming your own topic in this way, @GreyLizard226 .
I’m not trying to spam…I’m just trying to help the thread get more attention. It’s frustrating because I feel I made this topic for nothing since almost no one is responding.
