Here's an interesting one:
[EDIT] Link is down until I get my permanent file server online.

What? Am I the only one who could download the file? It was only like 31 megs. How did you get it into only 30 megs and still maintain picture clarity? Is it in 3gp format? Anyway, GUIDO! He's back! I can't believe it. Also, the songs were pretty bad. What would posess them to take the two worst singers and make them sing a duet? Those songs were murder! It was a very entertaining episode though. Definently worth watching again. Like all of the tv episodes, the story lacked substance. It was essentially just a way to entertain you for 20 minutes. I don't know why but the sequals were a heck of a lot better than the tv series. The stories in the sequals are much more advanced and in details. They seemed to have more than one thing going on at once. I really find myself disappointed with the tv series but they are better than anything else on tv unless they show an lbt sequal.

?me secounds the song comments and well comments in general.
I was oooh coool guido is back.
Not a bad ep at all heres hopeing they add guido back s a perm char soon. Hed make a really good perm char or at least one that shows up in alot of episodes.
Well ok most of the comments. I like the series and watch every chance i get when its new. The sequels in general were just a tad better but in some ways the series is better.
At any rate this was a nice ep other than guido and petrie singing heh.

yikes action exceeded bandwidth limits on the yousendit lol. Some one who downloaded it want to reupload it. I watched the youtube verion threehorn uploaded. Sence this ones out there id not mind grabing it to have a copy here.
-
I guess each have their own views but over all I love watching them. But I am passive over things like this, I don't really care about the length of it or how things could be better here and better there. over all I enjoy watching it and that what counts the most of all.
Nothing will change that :)

Yeah I was afraid of that...that's why I haven't been reposting old episodes. I'm working with Tobeysan in the near future to turn one of my old computers into a web host. Once I get that running I'll be able to host basically any files we need, indefinitely with nearly unlimited bandwidth.

Making old Swooper blind was a fairly bold move. Otherwise, this is just the sequal to the 12th movie.

Yeh i like that. We not seen any disabled chars in the films or series. That was a nice change. I hope we see more of guido. Also theres a ep before this with guido it would seem "havent seen you sence last time you sat for tricia" So would seem that he may very well have been in another episode that has not aired yet but was ment to be before this one. Heres hoping so. Guido while not my fav char supporting or other wise is a pretty cool char. Hes the first char we seen with feathers (ruby has them of corse but more as adornmant than useable for flight etc). I like unique and intresting charector.
-
I really liked this episode. There were injuries and disabilities, interesting characters (I haven't seen the movie with Guido in it yet, so for me he was new, and Swooper had a couple interesting quicks), pretty good music, and a little interesting dynamic between Petrie and Guido. The songs were pretty bad.

Hmm i see a concensus forming here petrie and guido just dont work to well when comes to songs heheh.
Will be cool if they keep swooper around int he series and have infact had guido in at least 1 other ep hopefully they will bring him back as a guest star now and then.
-
Ah! The writer's stole my idea for a fanfiction! What idea was that you ask? The gang meeting someone blind. THEY TOOK THAT UNIQUE IDEA AWAY FROM ME!! :angry:
Okay, anger aside, this was a rather nice episode. Having those that are disabled in various ways work together to overcome an obstcale that none of them could accomplish alone is one plot that interests me greatly.
Making Swooper blind was indeed a bold move. It's what really made it unique from all the other episodes and sequals. However, a part of me felt the blindness coming. His pupils were lighter than any other charcter, a common thing in cartoons that feature those that are blind. (Other ones are where they make the pupils as small as a dot. Or have the charcter have their eyes wide open, while feeling the air for something with a look of fear on their face.) :lol:
The songs were okay. About what I've come to expect from the episodes. A little less to be more exact. Though I have to give credit to the lyrics being unique. :)
Well Action9000, expect those lyrics by tomorrow.
Until then, see ya later! :^.^:
-
It was different and unique. I liked how the three flyers worked together to over come anything. Never expected a blind character before, but it was different.
-
How can I download that? When I try to do it, following notification arrives:
The person who sent you this file has exceeded their download limit
Want more download bandwidth limits?
The person who has sent you this has been notified by email. Please feel free to contact the sender of this file as well.
-
I keep getting that message too. Weird.
-
You're right. See this post for details.

This episode is my fav so far.
Too bad I could only watch it in Low-Quality. =/
When I saw Swooper the first time, I thought it was a zombie. :blink:
I didn't knew that dinosaurs could also be blind. :unsure:
-
Any creature with eyes can go blind; its a matter of biological systems failing due to illness or injury.
-
When I saw Swooper the first time, I thought it was a zombie.
Let me imagine that...
"Blaaarrg, I want your brains, youngins!"
-gigglesnort-
-
No, not really. :^.^:
It's only because of his body color and eyes.
...
I should stop playing Resident Evil. :P:
-
I've been looking for this ep for quite a while but no luck. I wanna see it in full quality! *sigh* same with "march of the sand creepers".
-
At least I've seen a download of this episode. Might not be full quality, but I can't argue. "The March of the Sand Creepers" is what worries me.
-
I have the ep in low quality. I even have it available for download, but I wanna see it come in good! It really bothers me to have such low quality. :(
-
Unless it's in FLV format (that I CANNOT stand), video quality just isn't one of my pet peeves.
-
It seemed a pretty good episode, and a good story for the 20 something minutes, didn't feel rushed. Also showed the adults flyers doing some stuff instead of Littlefoot and group heading out to Blackrock themselves, which is what I expected. I expected Littlefoot to say, lets go and his friends head out, instead of him say to we have to tell the grownups. I was surprised by that.
-
I watched it again today on my cell phone and I just gotta say that the duet with petire and guido was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen besides the "oops-eeps" song. :P:
-
I didn't really think about seeing if I like each song or if it makes sense. I may try that at some point. Also with so many episodes and songs some will be less then others, either to some people, or actually less they they could be. Perhaps whoever runs things may have noticed they had only 1 song so why not put on at the end, or they were thinking, they finally made it back home so they should sing since their so happy to be back home.
-
I started watching this one...and Swooper made me laugh. He amused me. He;'s a senial old man...and that's good.
-
He is an amusing character. Hope he does a cameo in future episodes, though that is unlikely I'd guess.
-
Ya notice the only older dudes they show in LBT is usually Littlefoots grandparents? Archy looked kinda old, but ya can't be sure. It was nice to have an old blind flier in a LBT show.
-
I guess most of the older dinosaurs go to some sort of retirement valley that they have not shown yet.
-
ZOMBIE !!!!!!!!!
Swooper : hi guys , after eating a ground star coverd with catapillars and laughing for no reoson , IM GONNA EAT SOMEONES BRAINS !!!!!
Petrie : :unsure: :huh:
Guido : :blink: :x :x :x :x
-
I really liked this episode!
Swooper was a cool character and the fact that he was blind was a neat challenge for all of them to overcome. I think this is one of my favorite episodes, along with The Amazing Threehorn Girl. :)
-
I recall liking both of those episodes. It was good to see Guido again.
-
Ah, a windy day at the Great Valley I see...
It's Petrie/Guido centered. And a new character was introduced: Swooper! I really like the idea of a disabled LBT character, I think they worked it out pretty well :)
Also showed the adults flyers doing some stuff instead of Littlefoot and group heading out to Blackrock themselves, which is what I expected. I expected Littlefoot to say, lets go and his friends head out, instead of him say to we have to tell the grownups. I was surprised by that.
same here, I guess if the gang had searched for Petrie and Guido the producers could've made a sequel out of it anyway :P:
Things/facts which annoys me:
- Spike burps again -.- He's a bad role model for kids... though the fact that everyone else blames him for burping could teach them not to burp :confused
- the songs: Common! Both Petrie and Guido can sing better :slap and the lyrics are just :x I can't believe they could make me hate the melody of 'big, big, big, big water' ... no doubt they could've made it better... the 'I feel so happy' song(whatever it's called) at the end is... let's just say it isn't a total disaster <_<
- Guido is injured not being able to walk at all but the next scene he walks w/o any problems :huh: another character with super-abilities... Sharptooth, Bron... and now Guido!!! :blink:
In a nutshell I enjoyed this episode... I'd definitely watch it again
-
I was happy to see Guido return in this episode. I found him to be a very interesting character in the 12th movie, and it was nice to see Petrie helping him develop his skills in flying.
I also agree with Ducky123 on the annoying aspects of this episode. The songs weren't good at all. I always skip them, and by now I was just getting sick of hearing two songs every 20 minutes or so! Was it really necessary to have that amount of songs in each episode?
Yep, they really didn't keep up with Guido's injury either. For a long while after he gets it, he's walking around normally until they're trying to find a way out, in which case it starts hurting again.
Anyway, I really like the idea of a disabled character being in the LBT series. I really like how Swooper was portrayed as well. He was a very kind yet lonely character. It was nice to see him welcomed into the Great Valley in the end, though.
It was an okay episode. It's just the unnecessary songs that annoyed me again. I enjoyed Guido's appearance and Swooper, and it does seem to focus a bit more on the flyers than the main gang, which is quite refreshing.
-
Guido!! Simply knowing that he was going to reappear was enough to get me excited for this one. :)
Other assorted thoughts:
That opening. No major tease or cliffhanger this time. Just Spike eating treestars and burping. :p
When I saw Swooper the first time, I thought it was a zombie.
Lol!
At any rate this was a nice ep other than guido and petrie singing heh.

Hmm i see a concensus forming here petrie and guido just dont work to well when comes to songs heheh.
:lol
What would posess them to take the two worst singers and make them sing a duet?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Beats me. Your guess is as good as mine. :P
The sequels in general were just a tad better but in some ways the series is better.
I'd probably agree with this. I think overall I like the sequels a bit better, but I've ended up enjoying the series more than I thought I would. There is something about the more bite-size format of the episodes that occasionally works out for the better with LBT.
and by now I was just getting sick of hearing two songs every 20 minutes or so! Was it really necessary to have that amount of songs in each episode?
At this point I've largely gotten used to all the singing... but otherwise yeah, I agree. I really think it would've been better if they'd just done one song per episode, especially since they've had to use so many repeated and remixed songs just to fill the quota. At least the films all had new songs each time.
Anyway, the initial setup for this episode was great, but then it kinda started to peter out once they met Swooper. Not a bad character by any means; as others mentioned, having a blind character whom Petrie and Guido have to guide to safety is an interesting concept. I just wish the episode had continued along with Petrie and Guido getting themselves into a weird, spooky adventure instead. I was digging the atmosphere when the two of them were lost out on their own and then they fell down into the creepy cave. But then the episode lost some of its tension and mystery once Swooper showed up. Not for the first time, I feel that there's enough potential material here that they could've made two episodes out of it. The character of Swooper, and Petrie & Guido's adventure, each could've been their own episode, imo.
Oh well. Aside from that, this one was pretty good. 6.75/10
-
I liked the episode mostly because of Guido, because I like virtually anything about him, but the story was not bad, Swooper was an interesting character, and three disabled character having to return in Great Valley while using other's still usable options was also good. The songs were not bad, but I would rather hear some new songs, which are not just same melody with different words. I have to say, that this is one of my top favorite episodes, if not the best.
-
I think its funny that in the past people have been struggling to find the episodes, but now they 're all on youtube hehe..
Anyway, Guido comes back in this one. I was so happy to see him on screen! He's one of my favorite characters anyway, and did they bring back his voice actor from the movie?
We are introduced with a new character, Swooper I believe. I'm kinda worried, we don't know how long he's been in black rock, but he was probably stuck there for a while since he was talking to a bunch of rocks. But the idea that they made him blind was really creative, I don't think the writers ever did that with a character... I love small things like that, it's a nice detail!
And as always, the songs kinda brought down the episode, but I remembered enjoying the 'don't be scared' song. Probably the setting of black rock of which it took place in, and when it ended Guido gave the best humorous line in the whole epiosed. "Well I gotta say Pietre, I'm not as scared as I was-" (omonous noise) "Now I'm MORE scared!" It was so condtradicting, which I love, but then that gave me the realization that the song didn't even help. Might as well just chuck it out if it's not going to be any use.
Songs and plot all together, I'd say it was a decent episode to watch. Glad Swooper is part of the great valley now too! :D
