General Land Before Time / Ducky is always called guillible
« on: January 30, 2008, 07:52:49 PM »
"Racialism" is the belief that different races are more or less skilled at different things (For example, people or Race A are better workers than people of Race B), while Racism is the belief that such a difference makes one race better than the other. A racialist merely acknowledges the difference, a racist uses the difference to make one race appear better.

General Land Before Time / Best/Worst Singing Voices.
« on: January 30, 2008, 07:48:16 PM »
Serris, when you said LBT9 I got my numbers mixed up and thought you meant The Great Longneck Migration, and at that point I totally agreed with you.

Then Malte pointed out your mistake, and now I have to abstain, since I haven't seen that movie yet. The Youtube version of Noone Has To Be Alone is pretty good.

I can't say I've ever heard any voice actors whose singing I considered "Bad." Some songs I didn't like, but it wasn't because of the singing, it was just the topic or the execution of the song (Like "The Mad Song" or every song from LBT13).

My favorite part of any song is  in "Bad Luck" (LBT7) when Cera sings "When a Sharptooth finds you All alone" and audibly quavers the 'all.' I can't imagine how the voice actress was able to imply shock like that.

1988 Theatrical Release / Land Before Time the Game!!! Oh wait...
« on: January 30, 2008, 07:36:32 PM »
Im confused. So is this game based on the movie that Malte described, or is it completely unrelated? I'd never seen nor heard of either befpre reading these post, so all my information comes from this thread.

Sorry about misinterpreting the info, Malte.

I've never seen a moderator before. Can someone name a moderator so I can see what the symbol looks like?

Actually, to be honest I don't think I've seen an Ultimate LBT Fan either.

When Screech and Thud (were they identified by name in this one?) broke out of the wall, the gang all yelled at once, and started running away, but they were all frozen in place for a few moments before they started moving (similar to what normally happens in Scooby-doo when they get chased).

I wonder, if like  Bron, Littlefoot may choose a different name at some point.
Probably not during the time period the movies and tv series are set in. IF for no reason other than that fans wouldn't like it if the main character changes his name to "Bronty" or something.  :lol

From what I've heard so far, the story is about a baby apatosaurus who gets his home destroyed. He then assumedly heads out to find a new one.

There doesn't seem to be any characters except him and his short-lived father. Why are there 4 other characters on the front cover?

General Land Before Time / Ducky is always called guillible

Yeah, I remember the Thread on Ali and her "shyness." That was actually what prompted me to open this discussion.

General Land Before Time / Ducky is always called guillible
« on: January 30, 2008, 12:02:48 AM »
Ducky has always been called gullible. It's been one of the usual words to describe her since I can remember, and I've always agreed with it. Yet, just now I've been thinking about that, and I cant think of many times when she's been portryed as guillible.

Several times, the whole gang has been tricked or assumed something incorrectly (Cera, not Littlefoot would lead thm to the Great valley, Chomper's egg was Ducky's sister, Doc was the Lone Dinosaur) but I can't find an example of when Ducky alone was tricked into beleving something.

Actually, when Littlefoot mentions seeing a Stone of Cold Fire, and asks his friend if they believe him, Ducky is the first to remind him that stones can be cold or on fire, but not both.

There are examples of apparent guillibility added for humor's sake (For example, "It doesn't look like a tree." "It doesn't smell like a tree." "It doesn't feel like a tree." [[T-rex starts starts standing up and roars]] Ducky:"and it does not sound like a tree, no no no") but the other characters say things like this occasionally, and guillibility usually implies that one is trustworthy, not merely unobservant.

Petrie, on the other hand, openly admits his guillibility ("but me believe anything," LBT7.) He also proves it when he believes everything Pterano says (Ducky, and the other three, didn't seem to believe him at all.)

So, what's everyone's opinion on this? And can anyone find any counter-examples?

It would certainly explain why that one longneck who returned with Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike hasn't been seen since. It'd also explain why the three sharpteeth were so wimpy.

Yet it would kinda ruin everything, I agree.

1988 Theatrical Release / Littlefoot Getting rid of Sharptooth
« on: January 29, 2008, 11:29:37 PM »
Don't forget that all 5 of them were hungry, and had been hiking for days. Since we are all sitting, well-fed and watered (and hopefully not in any immediate danger) in front of our computers, we have the luxury of unlimited foresight and a clear head. When one is in a dangerous situation, one tends to lose the ability to think absolutely clearly. I believe the desicion was much more on-the-spot than we imagine.

When I try to put myself in Littlefoot's case, I think of when I was 15, and got lost in a forest outside my old house. I had dozed off in a large tree, and woke up to find it about twilight. Remembering that dad said never to panic, I calmly slid out of the tree and thought about where to go. I thought: "Due to the Coriolis Effect, my body is tuned to walk counter-clockwise, since I live in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun is setting to my left, and in the morning I can see it from my bedroom window, which faces east. Therefore, east (and home) is to my right, and I should follow any paths that lead clockwise from my current position, since I want to retrace my path."

While it sounds like I had thought this through really well, in reality, I was cold, hungry and wanted to get home. I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, and the logic was proably reall flawed, but I thought, "Screw it, I gotta do something." Also, I didn't have the luxury of double-checking my logic, and making sure I knew I was right: daylight was almost gone, and I needed to use it while I had it.

Also, to follow my unblazed clockwise direction, I strayed off the path and did some risky things I certainly wouldn't have tried during the day, in a safer stuation. However, once I had made my original desicion, I didn't think enough to even consider changing course. Evey move I made was calculated to shave as much time off of my journey as possible, regardless of the consquences if I misstep.

I wound up exiting the forest and finding myself downtown, which was petty far away from my house.

Anyway, the point is, Littlefoot and co. couldn't afford to think clearly, and weigh the possible solutions anymore than I could've 5 years ago. They needed to make a desicion and stick with it. Littlefoot conjured in his head a possibillity of a way to eliminate Sharptooth, and once it was fully formed, he implemented it. If the others had had any better ideas, they would've said them, but they obviously didn't. And then they fell into place behind him.

Also, if anyone says that Littlefoot didn't look tired or exhausted, trust me he probably was. One of the marks of a good leader is the ability to hide one's own exhaustion, and put on a brave face for the others in your party. since Littlefoot had shown in the past that he was going and willing to be their leader, he knew he'd have to act the part completely, to keep the others going.

General Land Before Time / What screw ups
« on: January 29, 2008, 10:15:19 PM »
I haven't seen that movie since I was 12, what's missing? Is the Elasmasaurus supposed to have a crest or a sail on her head? Or is it the sun? (I bet it 's really obvious and I'm gonna feel so stupid when someone explains it to me)

Also, don't know if counts, but in The Great Day of the Flyers when Guido, Petrie, and his brothers are holding Cera's little sister in the air and drops her, she falls for like 10 seconds and Cera catches her by sticking her snout out and her sister lands belly-first. There was no visible suspension or shock absorption. If her sistger had really fallen that fast and for that long, stopping her downward velocity so quickly would subject her to some serious g's. Realistically, she couldn't fall like that, land like that, and walk away giggling.

This isn't an animation mistake, so I'm not sure if this is what people are looking for.

The Fridge / Psychology: The Dancing Girl
« on: January 28, 2008, 08:26:59 PM »
When I first looked at it, she was going counter-clockwise. Then I read the bit of information on the left and it said most people see her going clockwise. I looked again, and plain as day I could see she was going clockwise! Five minutes later, I couldn't change her direction back.  :bang

They weren't wet when we see them next on the log.
 
Due to the animation, it's impossible to tell when any characters are wet or not. After getting dunked into the water, both Cera and Petrie looked completely normal mere seconds afterwards.

General Land Before Time / Should the songs be removed?
« on: January 27, 2008, 05:17:53 PM »
I can't think of any songs I flat out hated, most songs fit into three categories:

1) Memorable songs (a few days later I could still remember a few words and/or the tune)

2) Average songs (they were nice to listen to at the time but afterwards I couldn't remember a bit of it)

3) Redeemed songs (Didn't like them the first time I heard them, but after a few more times they grew on me)

My favorite songs are ones sung on a very small scale (i.e. ones sung only by the five main characters while they're alone). I didn't like as much the giant songs where everyone in the Great Valley is dancing and singing along ("Creepy Crawlies," "Flip Flap and Fly," "Yellow Belly Hop"). I just don't think of the adults as people who would break out into song and dance like that.

I think it was in the first one. And on Wikipedia it says Jeff Bennett played Petrie and the narrator/spokes dinosaur in LBT 7 (ironically the one you're missing   <_<  )

1988 Theatrical Release / Tell Your Story About LBT
« on: January 26, 2008, 04:48:11 AM »
Quote from: Mistress Dragon,Jan 25 2008 on  06:18 PM

I've seen all of the LBT, except for VIII, IX, XII, and XIII. Yes, I can't lie; I have yet to see those.
Finally, someone else who hasn't finished watching the series! I still haven't seen the 9th one (Journey to Big Water), or the... 11?, 12? (the Tinysaurus one).

I also agree with you on many points, including having to laugh about the excessive number of sequels, while secretly wishing the movies would never stop. Kinda gets to be a little trying after a while.

Also, Malte, that is an awesome picture. I once drew the five original characters, though not original drawings (I traced their images off the back of VHS boxes, and colored them in.) Sorry about the contest letdown. Personally, I'll bet the "surprise" was a coupon for a free Littlefoot plush toy :wow .

By the way, I'm 20 years old now. At the time, I was around twelve.

General Land Before Time / Visiting the Great Valley

Quote from: landbeforetimelover,Jan 17 2008 on  09:33 PM
It would be hard to get protein though seeing as the dino's certainly wouldn't allow me to eat meat.
Well, Chomper pulls it off somehow, and there are humans who eat insects (like chocolate covered ants, my aunt used to love those   :x ).

As for me, I'd be a swimmer like Ducky. I've always loved the water. And actually Ducky's family is the closest species to looking and having the same body structure as a human (not to mention opposable thumbs, who nobody else gets), and hadrosaurs were thought to be good mothers.

Also, to counter the boredom problem, I'd simply have to be born in the Great Valley, and live my life not knowing about the modern world I'm missing.  Ignorance is bliss, you know.

Besides, if I live in the same period of time as Littlefoot & co. there'll be plenty of action to live through (how many storms have they gone through by now?) and with the exception of that one song from Journey to Big Water, the real characters have never seemed bored for too long.
