What was Mo doing in the Great Valley in 12?

I think Mo was in film 12 and might have been in 10 or 11 too.

How did he get to the Great Valley there? Can he just swim there? I think he got to the Great Valley by accident in film 9.

I don't recall seeing Mo in movie 12..then again it's been years since I touched that movie.

I do know he appeared very briefly in movie 10 during a song..

"Maybe he'll cross the big big water, where it's hot or even hotter"

During that line, Mo does appear on the screen while Littlefoot is randomly floating on a log in the ocean, he is not actually in the movie as a character. After that 3 seconds he is not seen again.

Sorry if got the line wrong, I grew up with the Swedish versions of the movies and only seen the English version of the sequels a handful of times.

But do not recall seeing him in movie 12 at all.

I do know he appeared in one of the TV episodes...but don't remember which one, never really watched as I was in school when they aired it, actually most kids would be in school at the time they chose to air it here..no wonder why it was a failure with the ratings..

Where was Mo in movie 12? Confused..

He said "And Fly." in Flip, Flap, and Fly.

They tend to show the most random things during songs.

I don't think Mo was in the valley, or if he was everyone just completely ignored him.

Like Zimba said about him appearing in movie 10 during the Adventuring..think thats what it's called song, he was just there.

To be honest I had to go back and watch those scenes again..after a bit of googling and just now I noticed him.

He didn't affect the plot at all, so why they put him there is beyond me.

But, hey if you go through all the songs in the series, you'll see they put the most random things. Like in movie 7, they showed Littlefoot in space...of all things.

My guess he was there as an Easter Egg for those who pay that much detail to those things, I am not one of those people

Well, Moe's appearance in "The Great Longneck Migration" is easy to explain: it was Littlefoot's imagination. He thought about meeting an old friend during his travels as he sang.

From Mo's explanation I thought like a tornado sucked him back in his homewaters, raised to the sky & then rained to the Great Valley...

...uh, whatever.

It could have been Mo's character model being used again to lower the budget. In the sequels to Alpha and Omega, those are quite common due to budget restrictions. All of the sequel-only characters are based on an earlier character in some way or another due to the low budget of the sequels. (Doesn't effect the quality of the animation any in A&O4, it in fact improved over even in the first movie.)

Some are even direct re-colors of characters from earlier sequels, such as these two:

Claudette from A&O2, 3, and 4: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2014053...ps.com-1630.jpg

Magril from A&O3: http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/alphaa...=20140515181803

The only difference is these two have the same appearance, just difference colors. Mo and the look-a-likes in the later sequels have the same color, but I doubt it is him.
