And did anyone ever notice that the movie
Dark City borrowed gratuitously from
Beautiful Dreamer?
I'm not sure it's gratuitous, but there are definite similarities. I suspect Dreamer got its theme from Native American legends about the gods creating the world on the back of a turtle.
A quick Google search brings up several articles comparing Oshii (director of Beautiful Dreamer) with Proyas (director of Dark City). Dark City vs Avalon; I, Robot vs Ghost In the Shell, etc.
