Direct or Indirect movie references in LBT

There are a few times that I know of that there was a direct or indirect movie reference in the movies and the series that I have noticed. Now lets begin.

In the first movie; specifically after Littlefoot's Mother dies, there is a feeling that there is a Star Was reference in regard to Littlefoot's mother communicating with her son beyond the grave through objects.

In the second movie; after the gang take Chomper's egg and look after him, his parents come looking for their infant. To me this immediately reminds me of The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the same action, same response.

In the fifth movie; On the island where they made landfall, doesn't that remind you of the area in The Lost World: Jurassic Park where those cars and bus were parked?

In the episode: The Cave Of Many Voices; when Red Claw and his fast biters were in the cave and the gang were hiding in that cassavas, Chomper stated: "Don't move, Red Claw can't see you when you don't move." That is a modified quote from Jurassic Park when Dr. Allen Grant and Lex were staring face-to-face with the T. Rex and Grant said "Don't move, it can't see you if you don't move."

That's all I can think of right now, but if anyone else has any more, please free feel to reply.

I think the most direct and probably deliberate parodying of another movie can be found in LBT 9. The scene in which Mo jumps over the rocks Littlefoot is standing on is too similar to the famous (and oftentimes parodied) scene from Free Willy for this to be a mere coincidence.

Huh, never thought of that before. All I could think of as direct movie parodies is Ice Age 3. Manny's warning, "Nobody move a muscle," and then Buck with the cherry bombs or whatever they were, all coming from JP3
