List any inspiration or influence for any original story idea/concept

This is my 100th post here.

As mentioned in the title, list any inspiration or influence for any original story idea/concept here!

Your original story idea/concept (especially mine’s) can either be for a movie, a comic book, a novel, a short story, a video game or even a TV show or things like that, whether it be animated, live action or sometimes both.

And just to give an example, I’ll start off with some 28 examples of inspirations and influences for any original story idea/concept which I could fashion to my very own liking:

1. Samurai Jack
2. Dexter’s Laboratory
3. The Lion King
4. The Iron Giant
5. The Lord of the Rings
6. Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire (but without the brutality of the HBO show or that of its source books)
7. Jurassic Park
8. King Kong (1933 and 2005)
9. WALL.E
10. Big Hero 6
11. The Dark Crystal
12. Cool World
13. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

So, what do you think of my list of inspirations and influences for an original story idea/concept of mine?

Also, go ahead and feel free to let your mind wander and post any of your story idea/concept inspiration/influence here! I expect to see a lot more than what’s going on now!

Many things (mostly music) give me inspiration for stories and screenplays, but may I ask – why would I want to publicly post my ideas on the internet? Lol
