Land Before Time TV Series (2007) / "sandbox love"
« on: August 21, 2010, 07:15:57 AM »
:blink: uh oh...I have become "misunderstandable".
I hope nobody barges into my house with their pitchforks about my opinions...
Yes pangaea, it is a bit of a rant. But its not what you say its how you say it. I can't express that through my computer.

When I say "dinosaurs" I mean it like this: I watched the original when I was 6. Sequel after sequel it felt like I was getting older while the series was getting younger. I like TLBT, but not enough to embrace it because the age group is not for me. So therefore I'm considered a "dinosaur". And again...I'm not willing to research ages of these characters unless the artists themselves tell me.

I don't want anymore misunderstandings, okay holmes? ;)

Whats up, homeskillet?
 
 I do not have an IQ of 300 but I do have infinite knowledge about silliness.

But on the serious side I have good amount of knowledge on technical stuff, nutrition, cartoons, and art as well!

...Or you can just ask me something. Don't rely on jeeves...

My user name is just something silly and won't be hard to forget. You may consider me as a yellow belly! But the difference between me and them is...
I have a belly button!

Computer and Electronics / Gif animations
« on: August 20, 2010, 08:39:13 PM »
Any program that can use gif images can suppress your image. I use Illustrator, Photoshop, Adobe Flash, and Indesign. Fireworks in my opinion, is more for website designs while Photoshop is more for rendering images which is used very often among multimedia and artists. So I would use Photoshop for a little animation and for decreasing MBs. Microsoft paint can help you too! You just have to play with it, though.

Computer and Electronics / linux or mac
« on: August 20, 2010, 08:28:41 PM »
Let's put it this way: You can get a Mac if you want some good media tools and nothing else for a rip-off price.

You can get a PC with Windows 7 and dual-boot with Linux Ubuntu and get everything you ever wanted for an amazing price and actually quality hard ware and an attractive GUI. (Graphical user interface)

Linux may not be as polished, or as fancy, but the decision is truly up to you and the user experience.

Land Before Time TV Series (2007) / "sandbox love"
« on: August 20, 2010, 02:31:14 PM »
Age: First of all, I love the word "sandbox love". And it fits for a kids show like this. Many fans come up with pairings involving Littlefoot, Ali, Cera, Ducky, and even petrie. If any "pairing" makes sense it would have to be the first obvious choices that I mentioned.
Nobody in that studio even shown how old they are in the first place. Okay maybe Spike is obvious, and the rest are kids, but Why am I constantly wondering how old they are? Because this is for an audience that simply won't care. Anybody that does care and have watched the first movie are pretty much dinosaurs themselves. I on the other hand, am not going to continue wasting my time figuring out their TRUE age unless the guys that created the characters tell me.

Ali and Littlefoot: Now this involves common sense if you are creating "sandbox love". First, give a good character development about the individual. What do they do together in their spare time, and how they handle certain situations outside of their friendship. I'm sure we got plenty of that in the fourth movie. (Which I found to be lackluster at best) But here are two things that many kids shows and movies in general don't have...CONTINUITY and EMOTION! Their relationship could have continued into the tenth movie but instead we get a wussy T-Rex, and a stranger that claims to be Littlefoots father. Would Don Bluth even tell you that littlefoot even has a father that truly cares? It's not uncommon for a father to leave while a mother won't mention anything about him.

Ali would've appeared more often in the tv series but again we are left in the dark. Here is another thing about her personality. In the fourth movie, she is shy, playful, and quite intelligent. (and very good with faces) But if she is so smart how come she thought Rhett, who is simply a worthless character used for a gimmick I call "testerone fight for a girl", is a hero? So the writers are telling me she is smart and guillible? It feels like her demeanor changed quietly in a matter of a few movies and tv shows. Not to mention that her voice sounds absolutely TERRIBLE! This is what I call "loose continuity". This happens very often in games, anime, movies, books, and especially certain kids shows. It’s simply too useful in a medium where stories have to be planned around serial releases and definite production budgets.

If any writers want to make a good kids film that makes sense for kids AND adults go back and watch movies like Toystory 3, Wall-E, UP, and How to train your dragon. You know what these movies have that The land before time sequels don't have?
Its called maturity! And That's all folks!

Well, well, well, I was a bit surprised that there was actually a forum about The land before time. I've been roaming around this forum for two days and It is seemingly calm around here. I don't think I'll ever have to worry about getting "jumped" over an honest opinion.

As you can see, my name is on the left corner of my post. My hobbies are drawing, gaming, and writing. No, I do not write fan-fictions. I feel I have no reason to write about something that has already been written for a popular franchise. Plus, I'm not getting paid for it anyway. Web Developing and computer repairing is somewhat of a hobby of mine. I finished web developing school and I'm currently studying on how to fix computers at Brewster Tech Center. (I took Web Developing there, too.)

I have many things I want to post and discuss around here. One of them is; Whats going on with the franchise, Ali and littlefoot friendship, and plot-holes made from writers.

Thanks!
