General Land Before Time / Re: Did a Disney movie inspire an LBT storyline?
« Last post by GreyLizard226 on May 30, 2024, 10:11:23 PM »@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.
That makes sense. But just to be on the safe side, you did read what I quoted and was referring to?
Yes, I read the whole thing.
Though, I actually am curious on what the person you were quoting meant by "Sadly, the father never finishes the movie with his daughter." What was the person suggesting in this hypothetical scenario at the end? Was he saying that, in pitching his idea to the team of writers about this new LBT plot line, he missed out on implementing other things that the Pocahontas movie had? I'm curious if you know or remember what he meant by that line I mentioned.
I don’t know. It almost sounded like he knew stuff that happened behind-the-scenes, but unfortunately he’s long since left the GOF forums.
