Honestly, just because some lines are the same and there are similar happenings between two movies doesn't mean they copied each other. :\
I dissagree. Maybe back in the days when walt was alive simularities between films from diffrent movie houses could be dismissed but with isner in control of disney well this guy hasnt had a original idea in his life. Watch lion king and aladin. Look at the background of each film carefully and watch the sky in the bg carefully.
What you will see is blatent seems in the bg where it was reused over and over in a cookie cutter like fasion. If you do a pixel by pixel comparison on sme clouds in both films you will see that clouds and infact entire sections of sky were recycled from one film to the other.
circle of life was stolen blatently from the land before time. My first thought when hearing the song was you have got to be kidding me.
Then theres the movie dinosaurs by disney that is a rip off of the land before time totally. Even the way they enter their nesting grounds is the same as land before time. The very lay out is the same in alot of respect. Now this could be atributed to the fact that the land before time great valy is infact based off a real place as seen in the first jurasic park. If you watch the scene of the helecopter landing in jp1 you will notice that that valy often called a bowle shaped valy is darn near identical in lay out to the great valy in lbft. Even the rivers are quite similar to the original lbft movie.
So isner and his crew could have simply used the same location in newzeland or where ever as a base for their own film. But the reason they would do so is obvious. The location is visualy stunning and before jp it was never used in a film.
Did lbft barrow from bambi hard to say ive not seen that paticular film in over 30 years. I may have a vhs here some where if i can find a vcr to play it on heh.
I have beena fan of animation all my life and in all my 36 years ive become very adapt at spoting things many others will miss in animation.
Example and this shows that lbft was entirly done by hand. Little foot and ducky ducky singing step on a crack and youll fall and break your back. They both stop and look at each other for soem secounds. Look down by their feet. Watch those cracks in the ground as they wiggle and change shape a bit

Same thing happens in one of the cave scenes nearing the end of the film. Lots of little things like that point to just how much of the original film was done by hand and not by stamping a single image over and over and placing the chars on said image.
Both are valid meathods dont get me wrong. But the new disney takes this stamping to the extreme and really ruins the quality of their films. Their ability to last for generations just is not there. Their ability to keep us adults intrested in the films does not exist. I watched the lion king once in my life and that was enough.
Have the fun for me is spoting these little thing in animation and truth be told ive already seen some of the same things in the new lbft series. Todays ep i seen was the story speakers ep. And the water effects n the water crossing were just amazing.
Yesterdays eps showed a close up of little foot speaking and singing and they took the time and effort to even animate his tounge. Thats what you call atention to detail and what makes films and series like the land before time franchise a special thing indeed.
