I can't pin it down but it's been bothering me ever since halfway thru Dances with Na'Avis. I mention 'Dances' because I feel that's where it's from.
Also, I'm not familiar with really early Lit.; did Clemens rip-off Chaucer or somebody for the plot of Connecticut Yankee? That's my earliest recollection of the Dances/Ferngully/Avatar plot, best realised in an honest homage in, of course, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
BTW, I loved the viewing in 3-D and managed to sublimate my loathing for the plot and characters until I brushed off the popcorn hulls. Definitely an Award winner. Oscar for FX, Razzie for plot.
