Million Dollar Idea

So a random thought occurred to me the other day: How do writers come up with original ideas for movies?

Ever since the making of movies, there have been so many different plots used: A giant monster terrorizing a city. A cruise ship full of passengers sinking in the middle of the Atlantic. A psychotic woman kidnapping and keeping a public figure against his will. How do the writing team create a clever and interesting story for a movie without ripping a previous plot line off?

But speaking of original plot lines, Some of my favorite animated movies come from Pixar, a very popular Animation Studio. The reason I love their movies (besides the incredible animation) is because all of their plots are extremely original. Don't forget the fact that all of their movies are family friendly feel-good flicks, which is a guilty pleasure of mine.

So I want to give major props to all the writers at Pixar and all of the other Movie companies. You all have both an extremely hard and important job, but you definately "bring home the bacon" in the end. Kudos.
