Lemony Snicket Rip This Off?


I can't help but think that the Jim Carey film "Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events" and in turn the book that inspired that film was more than a little "inspired" by the film/book "Flight Of The Doves" in that the basic premise of orphaned siblings fleeing while pursued by their master-of-disguise wicked uncle is identical.

Certainly, but you can't deny that Lemony Snicket picked up a very old ball indeed and ran a very long and creative way with it.

There are similarities although The doves had more charm!

Its that man again!!

It wouldn't surprise me.
