Daibhid C: I've pulled:
- Many critics pointed out that Pixar's Cars was basically Doc Hollywood WITH TALKING CARS!
- A Bugs Life is ''Seven Samurai WITH ANTS!
Because the differences are much greater than being set in the present day, which makes them both Recycled IN SPACE!!
Daibhid C: And The Lion King for the same reason.
Prfnoff: I think this trope should be narrowed to shows set in the present day or the years leading right up to it, so a lot of examples could be put back in Recycled IN SPACE!. Thoughts?
