7.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Big Bird Cage (1972)?

The film cut out many species of dinosaur that were featured in the novel for budgetary and technological reasons. One of these was a small, chicken-sized dinosaur called Procompsognathids, which later made an appearance in
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
. Dr. Wu explains their reason for having this creature: Dinosaur excrement, he presumes, would have been bio-degradable during the Cenozoic era. However, in the modern day, bacteria have evolved to the point that it is no longer able to break down dinosaur waste, and the larger dinosaurs produce quite a lot of it. "Compys," as they are called, eat the other dinosaurs waste and then excrete it themselves in smaller piles which are more easily broken down by present-day bacteria. The lack of compys in the film may explain the mountain of excrement that Ellie finds.

has said about this movie: "Acting is cheap . . . I knew I couldnt afford lots of moving cameras, and cranes and dollies, so I needed to get movement into the film, any way I could. I thought that if I have lots of little subplots, I can always cut to a different subplot, and thatll give the film the movement I need. I realized early on that the film was going to be a group of people, turning thirty, who had lots of subplots with each other."
