It's basically like the "Ask a stupid LBT question, get a stupid LBT answer" topic, except you ask and interesting question that actually makes sense. The answer can require something that other person actually knows or just can be simply an observation.
Here's my question:
I find it funny how Cera in the first movie says that "Once I'll be with my sisters, I won't be alone!" yet in all of the sequels, we never see her sisters. Why is this?
-
I think she did not(and could not) know at the time that they had(in my opinion) perished in the earthshake.
Aside from being protective and a fighter, could anyone figure out why Mr. Threehorn feels a need to be as stern as he is?
-
I think because he was brought up that way.
How did Mr. Thicknose know that crushing treestars would result in a glue?
-
I suppose he did that by accident when he was a kid, he swished some tree stars and they stuck like glue.
Why does Ruby seem to have a more of a knowledge about the world and how it works when even some of the adults in the Great Valley aren't as knowledgable as her?
-
cuz her adults seem kinda old so they must know kinda much,
-
Maybe she is just more knowledgeable because she has come around more than the GOF does (most of the time they are living in the Great Valley). Life in the Great Valley is sheltered (and usually safe), but when striving for knowledge the life of a migrator may be the better choice.
-
(I figured you would join in this disscussion Malte. :) )
Every LBT fan knows that Petrie is the nervous one of the group right? Where do you think his nervousness came from?
-
Extreme self-consciousness promoted by his being the only one unable to fly in his family. There may have been times where he might have wanted to switch species (but that's speculative).
Perhaps some of the questions that come up here could be turned into more elaborate threads in the LBT sections :yes
When they were making him the taster of the unknown plants on the island in LBT 5, did Ducky and the others knowingly risk Spike's health or even his life (in case of poisonous plants)?
-
(You know Malte, I was wondering if this discussion should be in the Brain teaser section or something.)
I don't think the kids really knew they were risking Spike's health. :p They figured since Spike can eat practically anything and everything that he would be more then eager to eat the plants. They are isolated from the rest of the world and they are naive kids still. :p
I find it odd that in the sequels there's a rocky blockade seperating the Great Valley from the mysterious beyond, yet in that Hidden Cave episodes, there was the trees that blocked the carnivores from coming into the Great Valley. Why would the creators suddenly change their idea about this?
-
Maybe they didn't know about that land bridge.
Why is it that Chomper's parents couldn't tell which little dino was theirs?They went bothering littlefoot and his friends and still couldn't sniff their baby? Only intil he responsed to their roaring and they realized he was theirs.
-
It could be the last time they smelled him he was in his egg so his smell may have not gotten through the eggshell or it was different since the egg itself may have been masking his smell. As for how they recognized his voice that could either be an easy quick way to end the plot since they had written themselves in a corner, or maybe he had made some sounds while in his egg and they recognized his voice, though the second one is a real stretch. Or they may have just assumed this was their child since he was a hatchling and they may have known their egg would hatch soon and they smelled no other sharpteeth around who could be his parents so may have deduced this must be their child who had already hatched from his stolen egg.
One odd thing I noticed while I was watching lbt 10 was the gang do the adventuring song about wanting to go with Littlefoot then his grandfather appears and the 2 of then go off as if the song had never been sung and the gang had no interest in going with them. Why did this happen? Why didn't Littlefoot ask his grandfather if his friends could go, or why didn't they as him? Or is it a plot oversight that the team working on it never noticed.
-
I think they just wanted to center the focus on the longnecks and a tradition that is strictly longneck-related. The Gang becomes curious, with Cera as the initiator, and they follow Littlefoot.
Why is it that in "The Amazing Threehorn Girl" the adults seemed to take Cera's slip-up as seriously as Pterano's error(Cera's was merely a childish error)? They did not banish her but might as well have. Is it just me, or are the adults really that dense :huh:?
-
Probobly because she was a child and they can't seem to want to banish a child.
How come the eggs and babies of so many species (longnecks and sharpteeth for example) are so incredibly tiny compared to the adult?
-
I guess all eggs are roughly the same size. The velociraptor eggs from "The Great-Egg Adventure" looked to be the same size as the gang's eggs from the first movie, despite the varying eventual sizes of the adult.
On the cover of the VHS case for LBT 4, Icky is holding a pair of binoculars. Where did he get those?
-
He swiped them from an unsuspecting tourist 'cuz he learned not to pick up living things :lol! Nah, I really don't know a serious answer to that one aside from catching a consumer's attention.
How is it that Littlefoot and Cera are practically siblings when they seemed to hate each other in the original?
-
This might have to do with them having that love/hate friendship in the first movie, but as they began to mature a bit more and know each other a bit more, they became VERY, VERY close. Just not in this way: :wub
Why do we never see Petrie hatch in the first movie yet we see the rest of the gang hatch?
-
Probably because the producers felt that another hatching scene might be a repetition that would bore the audience.
Why is it that the dying off of leaves that triggers the Great Migration in the original movie seems to be limited on on (vast) region east of the Great Valley?
-
It could be that whatever the cause, maybe a mix of a drought and maybe the leaf gobblers only effected that area, with the other areas not touched by the drought, or leave gobblers if one wants to add in multiple reasons.
Doesn't it seem odd that they are ready to sing the praises of Cera in that episode, even before her dad made her out to be something great, yet no they've never sang the praises of the amazing longneck boy? The one who acts and gets things done while we grown ups just stand around and argue?
-
Why wasn't Petrie's father included in the first movie?
-
A thought that crosses my mind is his mother was most likely widowed before Petrie and his siblings hatched :(. As rough as the environment seemed to be, along with deadly predators lurking about, who knows what happened to him? If Mama Flyer had met another male, or if Petrie's father were still alive, we would have seen either of them in background shots(like Ducky's father has been shown).
Why is it that it is okay for everyone else to have a dark side to their nature but horrible for Ducky to display hers? She even sings in LBT VII about the subject, and it's in everyone's nature. How is she any different :huh:?
-
@Kor(since his question didn't get answered): I think the producers of LBT are in some trend where they favor Cera over Little Foot, probably because they are tired of making plots with Little Foot being the head role. So maybe they are trying to give Cera a BIG break
@CT: Because Ducky is one of those very angelic and very sweet characters, many LBT fans, especially Ducky fans were a bit surprised when they saw Ducky show her dark side in that one episode, "The Sky Colored Stones" and when she made that sarcastic comment to Petrie in the sixth sequel.
What do you think would be the reason why the dinosaur adults follow to Three Horn's lead more then the longnecks, like wise, the gang follows Cera's lead more then Little Foot?
-
Because threehorns shout louder, and they're more willing to throw mud in their opponent's face. It's really that simple.
When the Great Dinosaur Extinction finally occurs, do you think the aliens from LBT 7 could save the Great Valley and maybe transplant it onto Alpha Centauri or something?
-
Now see, I don't believe the rainbow faces were aliens, although in the movie it made the audience believe they were. I honestly think they were spiritual beings in some other universe or something like that. But to answer your question, I don't believe they would actually, physically "save" the dinosaurs from extinction, they would be almost like angels of death and take their spirits away from their bodies into their next universe, reincarnate them, or something like that.
If Little Foot's mother didn't die, how do you think the plot of the whole LBT series would be different?
-
The basic events of the movie after her death would still happen, with some changes. The likest largest change would be the final battle with the sharptooth. That would likely be the largest difference. Also, Cera may not have left Littlefoot and his mother and / or, the others may have remained with them with maybe at most Cera going off on her own, or Littlefoot's mother picking up and preventing her from going off on her own.
The sequels would likely be pretty much the same as we saw, except his mother would be present, with maybe grandpa longneck taking more of a background character role like Grandma longneck does.
-
How would the films,season, would have been you spike talked?
In part it¥s a stupid question, but I wonder... -_-
-
I don't think that's a dumb question at all! It makes sense and it's something to wonder about if one chooses to do so. :yes
On topic: Quite a few possible things could happen if Spike did talk. I personally think, even though he has that "stupid" exterior because he's mute and has those facial expressions that look a bit duhhhh, he would probably be the one to give some good advice to those that asked. He seems to be wise beyond his years, (if you have seen the latest episode of the LBT series, you would know what I meant)
I'll edit this when I can give an interesting LBT question. I don't have one at the moment. :p
-
I do not think that Spike needs to talk. His being unable to talk the way the others do can be an interesting story element and he has proven quite capable of working with expressions etc. Also (though this is not what is suggested by the episode "Through the eyes of a Spiketail") Ducky seems to be perfectly able to make even complex sense of Spike's "talk" in several sequels.
-
Though in the episode they made it seem as if he could not understand what others said and by his expressions he has made it is obvious in the various sequels and other episodes that he does understand what the others are talking about.
Ducky does seem to be able to understand him. I think there is a scene in 7 when Ducky wakes up and Spike seems to be talking to her using a series of noises and Ducky responds to him as if she understood perfectly what he said.
-
I guess I would have my answers in I had seen "Through the eyes of a Spiketail" episdode, which I haven¥t yet.
The problem is that I don¥t remember must of the movies,(4 up), and I haven¥t seen 2 movies yet(XI,XII),and some episdes.
So if I make an obvious or stupid question that everyone alredy knows (<_<),I hope you can help me.
And that¥s why its being so hard for me to had lbt caracthers to my fic, I might confuse some of the personalites, or say something that doesn¥t even exist :unsure: , but I guess that is making mistakes that we learn.
Today I¥m gona see the LBT 5 and 6, to see if it can help with ideas to my fic.
Thanks all :^.^:
-
Okay...I'll start with a question. Will Cera and Tricia grow even closer as they grow up?
-
Probably, Cera will mature a bit more, so will Tricia and they will come to except their differences.
I noticed that after all of the sequels and TV series, we still don't know what happened to Spike's real parents and Petrie's dad. Why wouldn't the creators answer what happened to them?
-
Perhaps because making a movie, or episode that shows what happened to them would be too similar to the movie where Littlefoot meets his dad? Also we don't know what happened to Cera's mother and sisters.
Sorry, I don't have a question to ask at the moment.
-
Why doesn't Drake have a question to ask at the moment?
-
The question has to do with LBT, not a GOF member. :p
I'll start with a question; Do you think Judith Barsi would remain doing voice overs for Ducky if she didn't die? Or would she have moved on?
-
I truly believe she would have remained Ducky's portayer. Poor girl. R.I.P. :cry.
Which member of the Gang seems to be the most accident-prone?
-
I think it would be Petrie, considering clumsy he seems to be. He has rammed into trees, snow, he has fallen many times before and I think this would have to do with him being self-consious, so this makes me more clumsy then he probably could be.
Does anyone think there were any symbolic or religious themes in the first movie?
