A friend saw it the other night and said it completely ripped off an animated kid's movie called Fern Gully.

I'd like to see it, just for the spectacle.  I've never seen a 3D movie either, unless the Disney Captain Eo ride counts.

I believe so.  I haven't seen it, but my friend saw it awhile ago with her kid and said the storyline is the same.

So... you're implying my friend couldn't tell the difference between The Odyssey, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and Where's Waldo?

Of course, I must object. What a git.

In my world a plot is a sequence of events culminating in some objective of one or more protagonists, a teleology.

Strike Voyage and Return, Quest, Comedy (wtf?), Tragedy (wtf?). Voyage and Return and Quest are definitions of plot. Comedy and Tragedy are genres of plot, apposition.

The basic plots are three, death (Monster), Rags to Riches (Rebirth), Union.
