Well, once again it seems that Disney cannot come up with ideas on their own. Their upcoming animated movie, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, bears startling similarities to Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, a TV series by the Japanese studio Gainax (the (...)

(...) While I am not acquainted with that show and I am loathe to defend Disney on this point I will say that Atlantis is an old story and it has one basic archetypical approach: a guy finds a map, uses it to find "the lost city", the city rises or (...)

(...) True, and I am not debating that the most *basic* part of the story, i.e. finding Atlantis (I forgot to mention that this wasn't one of the "stealing of ideas" I was talking about), is unique to these two shows, the execution, down to specific (...)

(...) I don't know. Recently we had the discussion of Larry Potter vs. Harry Potter, and the general (though not absolute) consensus that the peculiar overlaps were indeed coincidental, and they were much more specific than dark-skin-blue-pendant.

(...) I must've missed part of that thread then, because I thought it was stated that the similarities were just the names (HP being a main character and LP being a minor character) and two entirely different creatures having the same name. Also, (...) (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Well, you're obviously not familiar with the universal archetype of the pre-WWI international submarine crew. 8^0 Actually, that is some weird overlap; I didn't realize the scope of it. Dave! (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) No, I did, its just that there is more than one archetype, so I think both using all of the same archetypes is rather suspicious. :) That is one of the things I was trying to get at, sorry for not being very clear. Jeff (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) No harm done--I was trying to be facetious anyway. You're obviously not familiar with the universal archetype of the guy-who-didn't-quite...o-express. 8^) Dave! (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) My personal take on the situation is that it doesn't necesarily matter whose original idea it was, but how they use it. I mean Henry Ford wasn't the first person to create a car, but he was the first person to make it practical, worthwhile, (...) (24 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
