Well, we have a list of characters we love. How about hate? >_> lol I hope we can be mature though and not completely hurt another fan's feelings because they like a certain character that we don't like. lol
Erm...I'll have to think long and hard about this one. I have quite a few at the top of my head, but I'll get to it sooner or later...lol xD
-
1. The Yellowbellies - Use a repetitive and old formula for stupidity
2. Tinysauruses - could have really done without them
3. Ali from the TV Series - she was totally Rhett's b**ch which was out of character for her
4. Kosh
5. To be continued.
-
Well, don't know if I HATE 10 characters, but I'll try.
1. Sharptooth - any and all (except Chomper (yet)), but especially the original one
2. Hyp - the other 'bullies' are okay, but Hyp needs some serious help. He seems to be good somewhere inside, but he needs a real attitude adjustment!
3. Ozzy - Okay, eating eggs is a bad thing, but that's not the main reason why I hate him. He's evil to the core. Hope he dies sometime and we're able to see his 'tragic' end.
4. Ret - He's an a$$. There's not much more to say about him. He and Hyp should go to counseling together.
5. Mr. Clubtail - He's a mean angry old jerk. I don't see how anyone could like him. (BTW, he was TOTALLY out of character in the TV series).
6. Yellow Bellies - They were pretty stupid. If they had been in LBT as main characters when I was a kid, I wouldn't have liked LBT.
Other than this, there's not much else I can say that I actually *hate.* And sharptooth includes ANY and ALL meat-eaters (except Chomper (though supposedly he doesn't eat meat right now)).

Lol...well here we go...may the tomato throwing and spitting begin... <_< :rolleyes

Not the tomato! Think of the poor tomato!
10. Mr. Thicknose: This character annoyed me, due to his pretentious nature, and his relatively obvious "realization" he gains in his only movie, along with the fact that he became a semi-recurring character in the TV Series. However, I understand that he fills a role in the franchise that no other character really does, that of a smart (if not wise) elder figure who can supply factual information, so I don't let him bother me that much.
9. Milo, Lydia, and Plower: This trio appeared in only a single television episode, but their gimmick (that they thought Spike was a god) annoyed me and distracted from the more interesting plot of the rest of the Gang attempting to rescue Spike. However, their limited appearance makes them easy to tolerate.
8. Petrie's Siblings: Oh boy. Whiny, demanding, not understanding, and yet they shared in the glory of the 12th movie that only Petrie had to really work for. The fact that they made life hard for Petrie didn't bother me as much as it might have, and you'll see why if you keep reading.
7. Tippy: This one isn't really Tippy's fault, but she was remarkably obtuse by not noticing Ducky's stress over becoming separated from her brother. I mean, at the moment of truth, Spike is trying to decide, Ducky is standing right there, and Tippy thinks nothing of begging Spike to turn his back on his sister and leave. She was also an idiot in her only television episode, however, I can chalk both character faults up to her being very young, and I understand why she would want another younger spiketail to live with. It was also a well-thought out dilemma for Spike, a usually ignored character, to deal with.
6. the young sharptooth Chomper meets in television episode "The Lonely Journey." Basically, Chomper tries to make friends with it, but it tries to bite him and then summons it's mother to chase Chomper off. This is in no way it's fault; it's got no reason to trust Chomper, and every action it makes is justified. Doesn't make me like him any more.
Note: For these last five, I've given reasons why it makes sense to have the characters this way. It's at this point that the characters stop receiving my grudging acquiescence and only my dislike.
5. Old One: As her character represented unyielding authority and a foreign leader, this character was bound to provoke my ire. Her warnings of the Death Valley's destruction were tiresome (she must not be aware this is a kid's show), and her disinterest in attempting to rescue Grandpa did not engender feelings of good will.
4. Rhette: An obvious one. I don't think I need to give rationale, as he's almost universally disliked by fans.
2. Loofah & Doofah: :bang What is there to say? Obnoxious, too dumb to live, and immune to karma, they also represent the film that crippled the franchise. They were the first thing to come to mind when I saw this topic thread. The only yellow belly that didn't get on my nerves was Foobie, both because he seemed mildly intelligent and because he didn't talk.
3. Petrie's imaginary friend: Hoo boy. The song sucked, the look reminded me of the big-lipped alligator from All Dogs Go To Heaven, and it served absolutely no point to the overall plot. It's also primarily associated with...
1. Petrie: Petrie has always been my least favorite main character. He was clearly designed to be comic relief in the first film, a role which in my opinion he failed miserably at, and his Disney Death at the end was sadly predictable and failed to suspend my disbelief. His all-time low had to be "The Bright Circle Celebration", when he openly worships the sun as if it were some sort of god, and the episode decides to teach Cera (the "nonbeliever") a lesson in listening to her friends. Plus I have to see him a lot more than every other character on this list.
-
This is in no particular order, but these are the 10 characters that I dislike the most in the franchise:
1. Ruby - I know a lot of people really like her, but I just find her annoying. I honestly don't understand why there was a need to add her in the TV series. I mean sure it makes sense that she has to watch over Chomper, but there could have been so many other ways that Chomper could live in the Great Valley without somebody watching over him in my opinion. I just don't like Ruby at all.
2. Mr. Threehorn - He is such an a**whole to everybody, both adults and children, especially to Chomper. I don't like how he has to argue with just about everything the others suggest and I hate how he is always the one out of the adults to cause trouble. Even with Tria to keep him in line, I still really do not like him at all. It's because I hate him as a character that I enjoy depicting him as an a**whole in my fanfic.
3. The Yellow Bellies - All of them. I just can't stand any of them at all. They are so annoying!
4. Rhett - Rhett is like Ruby. He was an unnecessary character that was used for one episode and nothing else. His character was really boring too.
5. Tippy - Tippy came off as annoying for me too. I understand why the character was used, but I still didn't really enjoy Tippy.
6. Sharpteeth (LBT VI and on) - LBT 5 was the end of the smarter and more threatening sharpteeth. The sharpteeth from LBT VI and on are just really stupid and not as threatening as the earlier.
7. Mr. Thicknose - He seemed very stuck up in LBT VIII, but then again he was probably supposed to seem so. He also came off as annoying to me.
8. Hyp, Mutt, Nod - Couldn't choose one specifically, so all three of them. Again, they were really too annoying for me to enjoy. And god was their song in LBT III terrible! They really weren't that threatening of bullies.
9. Ali (TV Series) - I'm kind of cheating on this one. I love Ali in LBT IV. However, I hated her in the TV series. In the movie she was such a unique and interesting character, but in the TV series she lost everything that was good about her in the movie.
10. Tickles - Again, didn't see any need for him to be in the franchise at all. He was a minor addition in LBT IV, and then we never hear of him again. What's the point of doing something like that?
-
There is a reason why I had Rhett, Tippy, Tricia, Dinah and Dana all dead in TWV...
1.) Rhett - enormous ego and is a flaming liar.
2.) Dinah and Dana - they played no significant role in the plot and I found them annoying not cute.
3.) Yellowbellies - ARGH! That is all I will say.
4.) Tippy - annoying. To me he seems like a Teletubby in dinosaur form.
5.) Mr. Threehorn - reminds me of my father from when I was younger (even my MOTHER commented on the similarity). Yes, I did not really like my father when I was younger. Now his flaming specieism makes me not like him.
6.) Petrie's imaginary friend - terrible song and completely random and it looks like the animators were tripping balls when they did that section.
7.) Tricia - unneeded
8.) Later sharpteeth - not threatening enough
I will add more when I think of them.
-
As with LBTFan13, my list is in no specific order.
1. Tippy- I think he's not only the most aggravating character in LBT, but also one of the most aggravating characters I've seen in any piece of fiction. He has no real personality and it was pretty disturbing watching the scenes with him and Spike. I can understand seeing Spike as a big brother but...well let's just say if you've seen Jitterydragon's latest video on Youtube, then you know where I'm coming from.
2. Ruby- Her way of talking is just so irritating! For the supposedly "wise" member of the gang, the way she talks makes it look like she's not all that smart to begin with. She's really nothing more than a plot device to provide reason for why Chomper is in the Great Valley. Get rid of Ruby and the Tv series won't be affected in the least.
3. Redclaw- I don't exactly hate him, but he is very underdeveloped. Like Ruby, he's really no more than a plot device for why Chomper is in the Valley. However, unlike Ruby, he had the potential to be an intresting character. Instead what we see of him makes him look pathetic. Take the Cave of Many Voices episode for instance. Being scared off by echos? Guess he got his "meanest Sharptooth of all" title off a cereal box.
4. The Yellow Bellies- Only saw about two minutes of them and already I could tell I would hate them. Reading what others have had to say about them makes me glad I didn't watch the entirety of Land Before Time 13.
5. Hyp, Nod and Mutt AKA West Side Dinos(My name for them)- These guys are the most pathetic bullies I've ever seen(if that's even possible). Not only for being teens who pick on small children but also for hardly even being threatening! Seriously, these guys need a life.
6. Littlefoot in the TV series- Now I love Littlefoot. He's my favorite character. But I just don't like him in the TV series. His voice is scratchy and annoying and he's just too bossy. I could go on but I'll just say that he's way too out of character in the TV series. Not the Littlefoot I remember looking up to as a kid.
7. Ali in the TV series- It's sad when such a strong, likeable female protagonist is regressed to a weak, gullible nobody like Ali was.
8. Chomper in the TV series- Chomper is my favorite character after Littlefoot. Now intrestingly enough, he's the only character in the show whose character isn't entirely changed. However I still have problems with TV series Chomper. First off, what's with the fake roars? He could roar just fine in LBT 2 & 5 so why does he, well more like his voice actor, need to fake it? Also why does Chomper have dino boobs? Seriously?
That's all I can think of right now. By the way, who's Kosh *reffering to Caustizer's post*?

Mr. Clubtail
-
I really don't have much, but the character I hate is Mr. Clubtail. I think he's just a jerk too. Rhett at first I didn't like Rhett because of the way he made up stories about himself and boasted about it. If Rhett ever does return in a movie or episode I think he be a lot nicer than her was before. Yellowbellies are annoying and in most cases on the dumb side, but they are cute.
-
Okay, it's about time I got around to posting here.
10. The Yellowbellies- Eye swahr mah eye cuuuue moost hav dropd afftir eye ceen deez iydeeatz :blink:! Dat seyz iyt awl. Tank guudnis, hookt awn fonix dun reelie guud fir mee :wow!
9. Mr. Threehorn- Yeah, I like him, but I also dislike him. Kinda like one of those love/hate relationships. He really can be a jerk, and he never seems to learn from his lessons in humility. Not even after he almost lost Cera, his only family he had left at the time. He still is way too hard on her. I think she's got perfectionist written allover her, and I believe I know the cause of it <_<. I don't like racism either. however, after the addition of Tria and then Tricia, I've seen him have many more soft moments, and I think he's kinda grown on me, so I don't entirely despise him.
8. Ozzie- This dude is mean to his poor brother, and has no problem hurting little kiddies <_<! I can't blame him for nature making him an eggeater, but hurting kids (or trying to anyway) is inexcusable!
7. Mr. Clubtail- Obnoxious, gluttonous, grumpy ol' *censored*. 'Nough said.
6. Mama Spiketail from LBT VIII- She was trouble in my opinion. Why would anyone in their right mind have any part in separating a family? Sure, Spike could've found being around other spiketails to be educational, but the bottom line is that his place is with the only family he has ever known and loved. This character seemed like she was racist in her initial reaction to discovering Spike was adopted by a swimmer family. It was like she was trying to be polite but was really feeling prejudice on the inside. She knew darn well from the start where Spike's place was but could not see past her own narrowmindedness.
5. TV series Ali- Universal, take this poor excuse of a clone back and give us back the Ali we know and adore from LBT IV :idea! Seriously, they destroyed her character and made her into a really dumb female stereotype :x.
4. TV series Littlefoot- Again, we have yet another clone on our hands. Littlefoot, who is notorious among fans for his friendliness, compassionate nature, and the voice of guidance among his pals was made into an arrogant, apathetic, domineering and reckless longneck in the TV series. Please, Universal, give us back the Littlefoot we love!
3. Ichy- For causing harm to poor little Ducky, I can't let him off the hook. He's one I'd love to chase with a blowtorch :p.
2. Sierra- Dude, this guy's homicidal and has issues. Somebody who is homicidal enough to think about killing kids scares the crap out of me :neutral.
1. Ms. Maia- This one's probably obvious to some (like Serris ;)). This character is not only one truly mean psycho *censored*, she's also a kid beater as seen in her actions when she threw Ducky in LBT VI. I'm sorry, but Ducky's anything BUT a threat. Anybody can see that in how insanely sweet her nature is. If Ducky was my kid, I'd be so pissed I'd launch that Ms. Maia just as she launched Ducky!
-
Annnnnd here we go:
#10: Petrie - I have a love/hate relationship with the little bugger. On one hand, he's a kooky, fun character with a sense of adventure somewhat realistically overshadowed by his fears and flaws. Unfortunately, that fearful nature is twisted and played upon... so rather than a character who learns to be brave (like in the 1st movie)... we're left with the scared nervous wreck that won't even fly near a volcano. Nice one, Petrie.
#9: Mr. Threehorn - Worst father figure, ever. He's always angry and subjective, and won't let anything get in his way. Just compare him to Grampa Longneck, who is a kind old longneck who always listens to Littlefoot and gives him advice... and then look at Topsy, who gets angry when ever someone does... well... anything wrong!
No wonder Cera is so obnoxious... which brings me to...
#8: Cera - Like Petrie, I kinda like her and hate her at the same time... except I hate her more. She's just always so stuck up, no matter what... but at the same time... she has a sensible sense of sarcasm and understanding of what lay ahead of them in an adventure. What really annoys me is how she always learns her lesson... but in the next movie/episode she's back to her old self. In fact, I swear she gets worse.
#7 and #6: Rhett and Shorty - Because they're kind of the same. The complete opposite of Littlefoot, stuck up and in real need of a few lessons in manners. Shorty is worse since he befriends Littlefoot near the end of LBT 10, but returns in the TV series as bad as he was before.
5: Yellow Bellies - No explanation required. They brought the worst kind of humor to a series of movies that up until then... hadn't, and they're just plain annoying. Plus, I have no idea what the heck they're supposed to even be!
#4: all the villains who aren't sharpteeth - Not everyone back then would be sensible and caring and all that mushy stuff... but good lord, the villains are always just so stupid. Pterano is the closest to a decent villian as he actually had motives and flaws, but his sidekicks we're just as annoying as all the other bad guys.
#3: Mo - Thanks for making 9 unwatchable. I want to eat Mo on a plate, with some chips on the side.
#2: Dina and Dana - Thank goodness we never heard from them again. they were just an excuse for a plot to happen, and they were super ultra annoying.
#1: Tippy - AARRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
-
Take one!
A lot of this is love/hate...
10. Doc
Even when I was eight years old (and a blossoming Pterano fanatic XD), I was never incredibly interested in him. Now, I kinda find him to be a little bit on the boring side. Not to mention, the fact that he's older than Littlefoots' grandfather's grandfather. That's pretty darn old. It's pretty darn hard for me to REALLY like him, since he has a "western" background...and I tend to have a MAJOR dislike for Western-based stories. They give folks the wrong idea about what those areas are really like.
He needed more "background" other than the stories he is famed for. And a lot more personality.
9. Littlefoot
Love/hate
While he is a lovable character with a friendly personality, I think he's a little too "good-two-shoes" and sides into Gary-Stu zones sometimes. Not EVERY time. And sometimes, I think he takes the spotlight WAY too much in most of the movies. I think that each character should have had a spotlight for each of the different movies...at least when possible. But, let's save that for a different thread!
8. Ozzy.
I agree with Cancerian Tiger. In my Great Valley Rebellion fanfic, I have Strut run away from him after being "abused" so much and ends up becoming part of Ptyra's group. He was a rather uninteresting villain at that too.
7. Icky and Dil.
MORE uninteresting villains. Once again, their motives are driven toward eating the kids...all of whom are barely enough for Dil and way too much for Icky. They need lessons in being stupid predators from the Stupid, Stupid Rat Creatures from the "Bone" comics, because they do stupid predator RIGHT (squee X3 !). "Those Rat Creatures must be pretty stupid to follow me onto this tiny little branch"
6. Ruby
Love/hate
She's gotta grow on me a little bit more for me to like her, but I'm with other people about her. WHY IS SHE AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE GANG!? I like that she's "between" Cera and Ducky in personality, but her speech repetition is a "little" odd and I question why she didn't bring her family to the Great Valley with her in Return to Hanging Rock
5. Skip
...Wtf? Random character is random.
4. Chomper
Just...just Chomper. While it is kinda nice that they have a sharptooth for a friend, I only have a SLIGHT bit of liking for him as a baby. His voice was too nasaly for my taste in the fifth movie and he seemed like another character that was randomly thrown into the TV series.
And you'd THINK his parents would have told him about losing his teeth.
MAH TOOTH! MAH TOOTH! MAH TOOTH!
3. Rinkus and Sierra
Love/hate
First of all, Rinkus needs to get rid of his Flamingo Syndrome (cookie to whoever gets the joke), it'll do him A LOT of good :lol . And Sierra was a flat out b@stard in every way I can think. But I like how deviously they plan to betray Pterano behind his back...namely Rinkus. Like Rat-Lady said in her favorite character video, Rinkus PRETENDS to be the scared, stupid one. But boy does he play dumb! It's something to admire. Maybe the pinkness is part of his "deviousness" to make him look less of a threat :lol . Sierra was a pretty interesting villain too. He KNOWS that Pterano has no idea what he's doing and he takes advantage of it. But like Cancerian Tiger said, he's a darn creepy guy.
2. Tippy
I'm gonna have to agree with some other people on this one, namely LB&T and Animeboye.
1. Red Claw
Motive? Anybody got a motive? Moootiiiiive. Why is this guy wreaking havoc in the Mysterious Beyond? Where'd he come from? How'd he get that scar? Is he trying to get to the Great Valley? MOTIVE! HELLO!!! And I though most other villains were bad, but this one just seems to be THERE!
Take two coming soon.
-
You know, I'm finding out that I don't really "hate" any characters in LBT. I either love them or just don't care for them because I don't know a lot about them. Sure some characters do annoy me, but I don't "hate" them with a fiery passion. :/

That's true, Rat_Lady. It's hard to find fictional characters that you hate; they're out there, but most of the time they just don't appeal to you. That's why, when I made my list, I spent some time making sure the characters I included openly annoyed me. Not just, "Meh, Mo could have been a little more developed -_-," but, "Somebody please shoot the yellow-bellies! Before I turn the set off! :bang Several commonly disliked characters, such as Mrs. Maia, Ruby, Topsy, or Mr. Clubtail, didn't make the list simply because they really don't bother me.
-
Hate is such a strong word, and I don't believe in hatred. I should've included in my post that these are characters I really don't like or they annoy me, but I don't hate anybody, fictional or nonfictional.
-
I too think that hate is a rather strong term but in the context of this thread the term is certainly not meant to refer to the kind of hatred that will turn humans into amok running warmongering butchers. ;)
Talking about disliking... well alright, to keep the wording constant, make that "hating" characters there are two different kinds of hating a character. The one is to "hate" a character for his or her actions in the story (e.g. Cera's dad for his actions in some movies or Ozzy). In that case the "hatred" felt for him may even be a mark for a well made up character if a character is supposed to be a villain to be hated by the audience.
The other kind of "hatred" would the what you feel for a character who just ruins the atmosphere or the story for not fitting in at all, providing plotholes, or just acting stupid. Examples for this could be excessively stupid and vulnerable sharpteeth or (in my opinion) characters of the likes of Tippy.
The characters listed below in no particular ranking are all examples for the second kind of "hatred" I named:
1. Utterly harmless Sharpteeth. The most infamous example are the LBT 10 Sharpteeth who tripped over tiny dinosaurs who crawled under their feet and did not draw a drop of blood even when they did manage to bite someone. In LBT 11 and 12 the sharpteeth would be "tickled into defeat" (in LBT 12 even after the prey was in the mouth of a sharptooth!), and those of LBT 8 and 13 too were harmless kid entertainment rather than a real menace.
It is quite possible for a villain to be goofy and still being scary (e.g. the LBT 6 sharpteeth), but it is even possible to do slapstick with the most scary sharpteeth of the original movie and the one from LBT 9 without striping them entirely of their scary nature. There is no reason to make sharpteeth to be depicted as so harmless toys but it does violate the excitement of a movie so I guess they would qualify for the "hate" list.
2. Bron. I have laid out in great detail already why I think he just didn't fit in. They failed to come up with a plausible background story and many of his actions within the short timeframe of LBT 10 didn't make much sense either. He is a character who I reckon would qualify for both of the kinds of "hatred" I listed above.
3. Tippy. Not much to add to what has already been said. Just how little fleshed out this character is becomes clear from the confusion about the gender. Watching LBT 8 I thought she was a he when the "forbidden friendship" episode reveals him as a her. The language and attitude of Tippy reminded me of a teletuby. She was also the first character in a long row of rose colored dinosaurs to come (Sue, Tria, Tricia, Ruby, one of the yellowbellies...). Of course this is merely about looks, but I still think there could be a bit more alteration and I admit that rose would not be my first choice of color to use on dinosaurs no matter their kind.
4. Yellowbellies. Not much to add to what has already been said.
-
1. The harmless, clumsy, and dumb sharpteeth in all sequels.
2. Yellowbellies - bad idea from the new director to make 3 year old kids amused.
3. Bron, bad background story mainly... and felt a bit strange in general.
4. Ruby, I don't think he fits there at all.
5. Tinysauruses, unrealistic little creatures.
6. Chomper in later sequels. In my opinion, he shouldn't have come back after II.
7. Dina and Dana, just annoying..
8. Guido, same reason as above.
9. Petrie in sequels, he developed nicely in the first movie, but in sequels (especially the ones with grosvenor) he's worse than in the beginning.
10. Littlefoot in TLBT 13, just went out of character. Maybe because of voice acting... sounds like a super bored kid reading paragraphs from paper.
-
I too think that hate is a rather strong term but in the context of this thread the term is certainly not meant to refer to the kind of hatred that will turn humans into amok running warmongering butchers. ;)
Yeah, I realize that, but you know some people just do go to that extreme of hating a cartoon character. I know I hate Bugs Bunny. In my opinion he's one of the most annoying cartoon characters ever. :p He gets away so SOOO many things in the cartoons and walks out without a scratch. I actually was happy when I saw that Family Guy episode of Elmer Fud killing Bugs Bunny.
And...it's just I find it more common in most forums or when people make lists, they say. "These are things that I love and these are things I hate" (Or dislike) But some people say dislike and hate is a synonym. So it can be interchangable in some English speaking countries. :p
Okay...I'll be quiet now and let that be in some other topic. :p
-
I do not really have any characters that I hate.
There are some that I do not care for and do not notice. Then there are some characters that whilst I do not hate them, I dislike them. To me, dislike and hatred have quite a line down them.
However, I do find Tippy, occasionally Petrie and Cera's little nieces to be very annoying.
-
Ignore post...again
-
My List:
10. Tickles from LBT4, as he contributed absolutely nothing.
9. Shorty. What was his point?
8. The Tinyasaurs. Annoying to the Infinite Degree.
7. How Littlefoot was portrayed in 'Tinyasaurs'. Character Derailment like no one else's business.
6. Bron. Unneeded.
5. Tippy. An even more retarded Spike who's...pink?
4. Harmless Sharpteeth. Agreed with Malte all the way.
3. Skip. Eh? That's all I have to say.
2. Ruby. What's the point?
1. Daddy Tops. A Grade douchebag from start to finish of most of the films, and he's in just about every one of them.
-
I wasn't expected to find Ruby in "dislike characters".I still can't understand people who's dislike her,cause she's my favorite charater.
Anyway i don't have unlike character,i mean i like them all but most of all Ruby
-
To tell you the truth, I despise the yellowbellys(from LBT13),if there's ever a film where they die, I'll grab some popcorn,sit back, relax and watch them get what they deserved.
-
^ While I really do not like the yellowbellies either I would certainly not consider it entertaining to have such characters be given a special show just for them to die. Having a bad or unpopular character die as a central element of a movie does not suffice in my opinion to make a good movie. The land before time in general is not the kind of world where hatred of the audience would be a good basis for a story.
-

I completely agree. The Land Before Time series needed a new, fresh character, and Ruby satisfies that job. I also like her personality and mysterious past. :)
-
Well. Now that I'm alll caught up with the series except for three.
10. Chomper - His "roar" in his debut is ear splitting, his roar in the TV series is even worse, he really should not have known he was being scolded as a baby (less than thirty minutes old at that!), and I really think he should have a lot more conflict with being a Sharptooth with leaf-eating friends, and especially getting to thinking about what he'd do when he's a grown-up. It's just that he's a very "loose" character to me. Yet I feel a need to like him a little bit, so I have a love/hate relationship with him.
9. Doc - What a boring character. I've given lots of reasons why I find him boring. But he's also very one-dimensional, and even after Dara comes along, he still doesn't have much of a "personality".
8. Yellow Bellies - I don't hate them as much as other people do...in fact they were worth a laugh now and then. They didn't fall off that tree, they JUMPED off :lol . Credibility for their stupidity. But they were incredibly lame and...not dinosaurs...they look like Where the Wild Things Are rejects to me.
7. Dinah and Dana - I'm in a love/hate with them. They did have a few moments where I managed a small giggle, but they were still annoying some of the time...and randomly appeared like Ruby and Chomper in the TV series
6. Petrie's imaginary friend - A BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!!! He even LOOKS like the Big Lipped Alligator! But since he's only there for a short time, I'm not gonna put him in the top 5...despite beginning the destruction of Petrie's personality.
5. Tippy's mother - I don't QUITE see how bad Tippy is, except for almost forcing Spike to make a choice, but his mother was even worse than he was about that. It was interesting to see non-Threehorn speciesism, I honestly think her's is WORSE that Threehorn's...and that is saying A LOT
4. Littlefoot in 11, 13 and the TV series - I don't completely hate Littlefoot. I think he has WAAAAY too much focus in the series as a WHOLE. How interesting would it have been if Ducky and Petrie had seen the Stone of Cold Fire...or Cera, as Matle said? But he's WAY off in what I listed. "I think pretending to be in danger is against the wisdoms!" Says the one who plays "Lone Dinosaur" and "Sharptooth Attack".
3. Petrie in parts of 9, 12, and all of the TV series - I adore Petrie when his grammar doesn't get in the way. I applaud his "proper" grammar in the scene when Pterano was banished ("I will miss you, Uncle"). He was incredible (minus his grammar) up until one particular moment. "Me talk to imaginary friend all the time"... *Robotnic* NO! Petrie's personality box didn't break, it got trampled by a herd of elephants, burned by Vesuvius AND St. Helens, and rolled on by a pack of hyenas :anger ! Being afraid of flying through clouds adds a dead squirrel to the remains of the "personality box". And as for the TV series...everything that made Petrie great until the eighth movie is GONE! ALL GONE! Gullibility off the wall, believing in bad luck, STILL believing Pterano's stories when he realized what rubbish they were, and *profanities*. PECK A SHARPTOOTH IN THE EYE, BOY, YOU YANKED ONE'S EYELID IN THE FIRST MOVIE! What the heck happened to the Petrie I know and love, you little impostor?! Look...the personality box is reduced to a scrap of metal and a few wires :cry
2. Post-Original Sharptooth Sharpteeth- Maybe not Chomper's Parents and that one in 5 (he did get rid of the Gang's hiding place), but everyone else are just...sad. And while I'm at it, let's count how many times Sharpteeth fall off a cliff! That seems to be the only way to defeat them! Shoving them off a cliff!
1. Red Claw - I said it once, I'll say it again. DOES-HE-HAVE-A-MOTIVE! And like someone else said, for someone who's the "biggest, meanest, sharptooth ever", he certainly is scared by echoes.
-
10. Tippy.
9. Post-Original sharptooth villians.
8. Petrie in the tv series.
7. Ali in the tv series.
6. Dinah and Dana.
5. Tippy's mom.
3. Rhett.
2. Red Claw.
1. The yellowbellies proving that Darwin was wrong.
-
10- Tippy and his/her entire herd. They're pointless, all of them.
9. The bullies- What, you guys have nothing better to do than pick on helpless kids? I just really hate people like this.
8. Mr. Threehorn- What can I say? He's a racist lout.
7. Red Claw and all other lame sharpteeth. Their balls have fallen off and they have turned into more of a comedy act than threatening villains. The original sharptooth would eat them alive.
6. Tinysaurs- pointless and annoying. Hopefully they will never be seen again.
5. Dinah and Dana. Pointless, annoying, and they had no character. I hope they got eaten.
4. The Old One- I just hate this character. This character is just a stuck up, boring old fart. Not much else to say.
3. Rhett- Who doesn't hate him? I mean, how could you actually like this character? I wanted to shoot him! I'm serious! I wanted this character to DIE! When I heard that Ali was going to be in an episode of the series I got so excited but this arrogant, lying, poser, coupled with Ali having the personality of a cheese sandwich, completely effed it up. :anger
2. Fake Ali- Where do I begin? We waited more than ten years to see Ali again and this is what we got? A stuck up little b**** who hangs out with that douchebag Rhett? She believes whatever that douche tells her and won't hang out with her REAL friends because her pimp doesn't approve. Here is my reaction to all this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRAibyGpiYA&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRAibyGpiYA&feature=related)
1. The Yellowbellies- I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! I hate them! They're basically the LBT version of jar Jar Binks! I will quote LettuceBacont&Tomato on this one.
Obnoxious, too dumb to live, and immune to karma
It's like Jar Jar Binks got together with the Teletubbies and had kids! They're annoying, idiotic, pointless, and they all need to die. The sooner these suckers become extinct the better! :x
-
The top ten charcters from The Land Before Time I hate the most are:
1. Sharptooth, the sharptooth from the first movie, because he killed Littlefoot's mother.
2. Dil, the bellydragger from the fourth movie, she was just plain mean, even to her "friend" Ichy.
3. Red-Claw, the sharptooth from the tv series, beacause he is the main antagonist.
4. Screech, the fastbiter from the tv series, beacause he is one of the supporting antagonists.
5. Rhett, the longneck from the tv series, because he was a liar, and was trying to ruin the friendship of Littlefoot, Cera and Ali.
6. Spino, the sharptooth from the twelvth movie, beacause he almost ate Petrie and Gudio.
7. Scar-Eye and his herd, the sharpteeth from the thirteenth movie, beacause he was always trying to kill the yellow bellies, and prehistoric pals.
8. Topsy, Cera's father, because he is always mean to Tria, Cera and everyone else in the valley, except Tricia and he is always saying that Chomper is bad sharptooth, which he isn't.
9. Sierra, the flyer from the sixth movie, because he was always trying to kill Pterano and Ducky.
10. Rinkus, the flyer from the seventh movie, because he was always listen to Sierra, and trying to kill Pterano and Ducky.
-
Rinkus and Sierra were in the seventh movie ;) . I should definitely know :p
-
Rinkus and Sierra were in the seventh movie ;) . I should definitely know :p
Sorry I thought I put seventh, not sixth.
-
Well, you haven't fixed Sierra yet ;) . And I honestly have to say that your reasons for many of those characters don't seem very "good". You can't "hate" a character because they're the antagonist. The reason I don't like Red Claw is NOT because he's the antagonist, but because he's a BAD antagonist. What's his purpose and what's his goal?
-
Alright, here's my list of characters I hope never to see again in another LBT film.
7. Tippy. I can't tell if this character is a male or female. I don't really are either. This character is annoying and needs to die out so that the rest of the spiketail population isn't contaminated by his/her stupidity.
6. Tippy's herd. They're a bunch of a-holes. Not much more to say.
5. The Tinysaurs. They were completely pointless.
4. Rhett- Everyone hates him. He's a liar and a poser and needs a good butt kicking.
3. Ali from the TV series. That was not the real Ali. I believe that this was just some sort of twisted and evil clone sent from an alternate universe. She was too stupid to be the real Ali and she had the personality of a brick.
2. Cera's retarded cousins (or whatever they were) from LBT 6. They were pointless and irritating and I hope they are never seen again. They were not real characters. They were just plot devices.
1. The yellowbellies. They are stupid, annoying, ugly, and they need to die.
-
1. The yellowbellies. They are stupid, annoying, ugly, and need they to die.
I totally agree with you. They, without a doubt, need they to die.
Other characters that need to get died are the tinysaurs. Cera's little sisters didn't annoy me half as much at those little things. I can't believe Littlefoot was afraid of them at first. Come on.
-
1. The yellowbellies. They are stupid, annoying, ugly, and need they to die.
I totally agree with you. They, without a doubt, need they to die.
Other characters that need to get died are the tinysauruses.
I disagree with both of you, just because the yellow bellies aren't smart, dosen't mean they should die, really only characters that should die are antagonists.
I don't see anything wrong with the tinysauruses either, the scene where they scared Littlefoot had me laughing.
-
I disagree with both of you, just because the yellow bellies aren't smart, dosen't mean they should die, really only characters that should die are antagonists.
What characters do you think killed off lbt13 for most people? It's antagonists or the yellowbellies?
-

What characters do you think killed off lbt13 for most people? It's antagonists or the yellowbellies?
Well, everyone's said the yellow bellies, but I don't see why. Cause I noticed, it says "comedy" on IMDB, when the other 12 and the tv series don't, so its probaly cause of the yellow bellies that its classified as a comedy.
If a 14th was announced, I'd want them to be in it for sure.
Oh, and I don't care what critics say about movies either, I just watch what I like.
-
Well the Yellowbellies are the whole reason why I refuse to watch LBT 13. And I don't see how LBT 13 is a "comedy" because of...them. Ozzy & Strut, Dil & Itchy, Petrie, Guido, and even Pterano and his minions to an extent, are all much funnier than the Yellowbellies so why aren't their movies listed as comedies (don't answer; it's a rhetorical question)? The only thing the Yellowbellies did, aside from completely ruin a great series of childrens films, was further destroy Cuba Gooding Jr.'s already tarnished career. To think he had the potential to become an A list actor :(
I don't see anything wrong with the tinysauruses either, the scene where they scared Littlefoot had me laughing.
I can't even believe the Great Valley residents were terrified of them. A newborn baby wouldn't find the tinysauruses terrifying.
-
I have a few characters that I have a bit of a distaste for:
Dinah & Dana: I honestly thought they were cute, but they were very annoying. They got themselves into trouble very often and had to be saved each time. Ugh...
Mr. Threehorn aka Topsy: I really hated how he acted towards the other adults as well as the kids and how he treated them, especially his own daughter. Does he seriously believe he's better than everyone else? (He really needs to get a reality check, or better yet, some therapy. Geez.... ;)
Sharptooth Swimmer (from Journey to Big Water): How dare you try to harm poor, sweet, innocent Mo?! He didn't even do ANYTHING to you, yet you chase him down and try to make a meal out of him. I ought to Falcon Punch you straight into outer space for that! Grrrr.... .-.
Petrie's imaginary friend: Big-lipped alligator. Need I say more? He wasn't really needed.
Redclaw: What the bloody hell was his motive?! I mean, seriously. Being afraid of echoes definitely didn't help either.
-
Topsy has to be my favorite adult char besides grandma/grandpa. Heeeeees sooooo awesome :D
-
^Funny enough Topsy Threehorn is on my fave charie list too. At times he can get nerve wracking, but to be honest, I really like his character at times. :)
So before anyone reads this, I just want to warn you that if you like these following characters and really, really, really love them I wouldn't recommend reading my list. I have controversial reasons why I hate these characters so I probably will be argued by others quickly because many of these characters are well loved that I listed.
Anyhow, I've given some thought on the characters and which ones I don't like and well, I think I have finally complied a list of them:
10. Little Foot's mom
Now before you say boo, just hear me out for a second. While I admire her strength and motherly personality towards Little Foot and I think she kicked arse when fighting the main sharptooth. :D I find her to be pretty closed minded as a character. She's a sacrificial mom, and that's all I know about her. If she had some back up to her character then I probably would have her higher on the list, but all we know about her is that her parents are Little Foot's grandparents, she's Little Foot's mom, she looked after him and died to save him. That's all we really know about her.
And her sequences with Little Foot saying, "Well, we're different, it's always been that way." That line always irked me. <_<
Now why would Topsy Three Horn be over this character? Simple. WE KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM. If I didn't know anything about Topsy, he would probably be at the VERY bottom of my list because
all we would know was that he was a racist jerk. :p So Little Foot's Mom is ten my list because I really don't know a lot about her and I wish we had a more in-depth story to her.
9. Bron
Okay, so this guy I realize he either is hated or he's REALLY liked. I have read the arguments between Malte and pokeplayer about this character and the movie he was in, (though not the whole thing) and I have to agree that Bron really was not a great character as far as development goes. He leaves his mate behind to look for a better place when he probably could have taken her with him, he comes back to which of COURSE they would have been gone by then if their land
was just -THAT- bad. Then he finds another herd and doesn't find his son til I guess YEARS later and pretty much neglects Shorty. :p
I just find his character a bit dull, and I don't mean in intelligence, heck Bron probably is a smart character and we don't know, but as far as character development goes, I really think he wasn't that great.
8. Tippi's mom
CT pretty much took the words out of my mouth when it comes to this character, though I do wonder if this lady was intirely racist.
While I do believe it was pretty out there for her to say out to Ducky's mom that Spike might want to permanently stay with the Spiketail herd, I wonder if she was just being sympathetic towards Spike, because DID partly want to be with dinosaurs his own species, even though he loved his swimmer family. I mean everone sometimes just feel the need to be with people like them, but so they will be better understood and share the same experiences with them. But anyway, that's a different topic.
7. Saro
This guy just flat out annoyed me. I understand that he might have been disappointed that his old friend, Grandpa Longneck would not want to travel around and tell stories like they used to, but I just found it strange having a hissy fit over it because Grandpa HAS a family AND a home. I also get that a lot of times in children's films and tv series, adults act like kids, but I thought he was a bit overboard.
6. Little Foot
I'm really surprised at this point no one is throwing tomatoes at me. :lol
But in all honesty, Little Foot is an example of a character that is too focused in a certain series. He was the central character in the first film, and that's fine, we get it, we was an important character. But give a ridiculous amount of sequels based on him? That's just too much. >_> Even Aang from the Avatar series had more breaks from his story then this character. :p
Funny thing is, I used to love this character, he was my favorite growing up, with Chomper as second and everyone else I just tolerated. That all changed in the year of 2000 when Pterano was introduced. Then immediately I stopped liking Little Foot.
Now my top flipping five:
5. Shorty
:slap Where do I begin with this character?
Okay so I do feel sorry for him, the fact that he was adopted and his stepfather paid more attention to his blood related son
He is a very obnoxious character, basically like Rhett, but with at least SOME redeemable qualities.
4. Tippi
What exactly is the purpose of this character? Seriously what? Other then Spike having a friend his own species, I just don't find anything new, refreshing about him. And why...why does the series keep changing his gender? :p
3. Ali
Again, we have another character that people usually either love or hate. I do think Ali's character was pretty bland in the tv series, but then again most of the characters were pretty watered down in the series weren't they?
The thing with Ali is that she seems to just be an attempt of making a sublimely a love interest for Little Foot. I don't think they would be all romantic about it yet or anything, but her character did feel pretty generic.
2. Rhett
May I say recycled, dinosaur version of Ronno? <_< While I don't like Ronno in the first film or prequel, he at least had some charm to his jerkiness, but Rhett, he seemed to simply be a wannabe of that. <_< And again if he had a back story as to why he acted like this, like Hyp did I'm the third sequel, I would like him a bit better. Still at least he's just in one episode.
1. Cera
Gods and goddesses know I tried liking this character. <_< I NEVER, EVER liked her. I just couldn't find anything appeasing to her. I knew she was one of those people that would easily boss others around. She NEVER, EVER learns her lesson, it's only to be repeated in the other sequels.
She does have her funny moments I will admit, but part of the reason why I hate her is because of how she treats her friends and repeats herself in EVERY SINGLE FRIGGEN SEQUEL AND EPI as that stuck up snob who scares her friends into obeying her and what not.
Of course I feel bad that her dad treats her the way he does, but combine her dad's gruffness, a high pitched voice, and being in EVERY.SINGLE.INSTALLMENT of this show and movie series and you get my ultimate hated LBT character ever.
Well, that's my list. I hope I didn't offend anyone.
-
Looks like the boss never put up a list. I'll keep it short.
10. The real Big-Lipped Alligator Moment in LBT - everyone here is right...its a flashback to a completely random and kooky character that has no purpose in a film
9. Mr. Thicknose - the teacher I would not want to be! :x Very dull and cannot sing in tune to save his life.
8. Littlefoot - too much goody-two-shoes in him to be realistic, and being the center of attention, we see him a lot.
7. Ruby - seen some episodes of the tv series (not all but a few) and she's just there to be there it seems...no real strong purpose for her inclusion
6. Sequel Petrie - forgot how to speak even with decent broken English if there is such a thing ("I falled!" sounds less childish than "Me Falled!" every time.). Plus, the guy learned in the first film...has he really learned anything since then?
5.) Ali in the TV series - If it weren't for JitteryDragon and his YP video, I don't know if I would've watched the entire thing. Talk about complete indifference to the past.
4.) Lousy villains - and there are many: Ichty, Dill, Sierra, Rinkus, the bully trio, near-sighted T-rexes in the sequels. Don Bluth gave us the only t-rex that really looks and presumably acts like a T-rex would seeking out food. He actually tried. I don't know what the rest of these villains were attempting.
3.) Cera's Father - arrogrant through and through, never changes. Like father like daughter.
2.) Rhett - the snotty, know-it-all with an ego complex. Grow up. Sadly, there are many many kids out there just like him.
1.) Tippy - just there, and like a Pokemon, doesn't say much. That's a surefire way to get no attachment to the character, no matter what your age.
You might be looking over my list and saying, "Whaaa? No Yellowbellies?" Seems like everyone has these guys on their lists. Why not me? I stopped watching LBT after #11 (find my scalding review if you can) and have not looked back. So unlike a lot of you, I have no Yellowbellies to corrupt my mind any further of what has already become of the series. I'd like to keep it that way. ;)
-
The only characters I can't stand are the rainbow faces and Mo, their voices really annoy me
-
My top ten is here. Much easier than my top ten favorite. Lets get started shall we?
10.Sharpteeth. (with the exception of THE sharptooth and Chomper's parents.) These ones were just underdeveloped and made me laugh at their stupidness.
9.Mr. Threehorn aka Topsy. Very annoying and mean to Chomper. And I will never forgive him for that.:anger Sorry Cera.
8.Tippy's mom. I can't belive her. She would take Spike away from his friends and FAMILY for crying out loud because her...Tippy...likes him! Not a good reason lady! You racist punk...If your wondering why I'm calling her racist is because remember in number 8 when Ducky's mom is telling Tippy's mom about how she adopted him and why then she says that there were no other Spiketails in the vally, Tippy's mom interupts her and says, "until now." Is it just me or is that fairly racist?
7 Dil. Could've gone without her. She was so mean.
6. Ichy. Can you spell. A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G?
5.Thud. I didn't like this trio...they made me laugh at their sheir stupidness and lack of the ferociocity factor. Thud was probably my favorite. But I still don't like him.
4. Screech. I think that she had really good potential to become a good villian, but no...she was just annoying and stupid.
3. Redclaw. Meanest sharptooth around huh? I think not.
2. Sierra and Rinkus. I'm sorry but these two just ticked me off. And they kidnapped Ducky! They have no heart!!!! (sorry to all you rinkus and sierra fans out there, I just didn't like them. And I have my own opinion.)
1.Rhett. GAWED I hate this character. He's so annoying and stupid and he lied to Ali to make himself look better! Why did they have to add you? WHY???? And he almost got Chomper killed! I'll never forgive you for that Rhett.
Well, that's it. As I said before , MUCH easier than my favorites. Catch ya later.
-
1. The yellowbellies: I think I'm gonna be sick. And then be sick again. And then go to a hypnotist and tell him to erase whatever these sick creatures are from my memory.
2. All imaginary friends: What the hell? Where the heck did Universal think it was okay to include these nightmares of some long lost age 0-3 nick junior cartoon in LBT?? Sure the series had been going downhill since 5 but...this was beyond breaking the rules!!
3. The flyer judges in LBT 12. You call those professionals? They were ugly, awful singers, never said a word, and were annoying to boot!
4. Dinah/Dana: What the heck? Where did these annoying rugrats come from? Worse still, they became members of the gang in this film. As a result, 6 suffered...badly.
5. Tippy: Terribly drawn, only purpose was to lure Spike into the Spiketail herd, which anyone could have done, was an annoying little rugrat I hate.
6. The chipmunks in the series: I've only seen a few frames of "escape from mysterious beyond" and already hate em!
7. Tippy's mom: Annoying, stupid looking, probably trying to steal Spike away from his true family, the b***h!
8. Rinkus: Weird, Pink, and annoying. Thought he was some creepy old lady when I first saw 7.
9. The tinysaureses. Seriously universal? Little longnecks? egh. I was almost with Mr. Threehorn on that one! If they weren't nice I'd have them further down.
10. (Yes, I'm doing 11.) LBT 5 Chomper. He was OK in 2---like Tricia, he didn't stand out very much other then being cute. LBT 5, though...can you spell "Shut the f**k up?!" Seriously, the first two times or so he talked it was alright but then he just had to keep talking in that annoying kiddy voice---I never had that problem with the main cast! He sounded like he had a cold or something. And if it wasn't bad enough, then after about 10 minutes he started singing, "Friends. for din ner. I'm gonna have Friends. for din ner"
"What the hell?! Why RU singing?" I feel like saying every time i hear it. And then when he cries later...seriously, I felt like punching him in the face, trying to be a sixth member of our beloved gang. I felt this way since I was little, seriously. As a kid I didn't like 5 as much once Chomper came into the picture. I almost wanted Littlefoot to let him drown.
He was okay in the TV series, I think. He seemed closer to the age of the rest of the gang, but he was cheaply drawn and...purple? What is he, Barney?!
11 (yes, I'm putting in an 11). Mr. Thicknose: Can you spell, "annoying ugly old mushroom"?
-
I don't really hate any character. I guess I just never saw the logic of hating a fictional character who can't hurt me. Yes I can hate what they do, but I cannot bring myself to hate the character as if they somehow exist.
Plus there are people who take their hate of a character too far and bash said character and wish harm to come to them, even something as extreme as death. And I don't want to be like those people.
-
My list,
10: Littlefoot, I just, I just find his character annoying, being a little two good, and going on adventures that risk his friends lives, 13 times, its a wonder their still alive. Last but not least, how stubborn and dictatorial he was in the first film, he just forced them to go on, when they were obviously tired as heck, and would probably die if they pushed on without rest, and attacking Cera for trying to leave, aswell as overreacting to Cera's insult, she felt cornered, so she tried to get out of it.
9: Cera (1st film, 5th film), she is just mean.
8: Rhett, need I say more?Ruby, she just annoyed me when she talked
7: Ozzie, threatening to kill kids because they saved an egg.
6: Ali(TV series) she simply had a minute of screentime, and also was just a *****, believing that a**hole Rhett over her friends, and just playing with Chomper after being told he was nice, which took Cera a while to.
5: Rhett, need I say more?
4: Guido, same as above.
3: Tippy, a kid who is kind of annyoing, and selfish
2: Topsy (1st movie to 7th movie), a racist/ speciest/ bigot/ A**hole who simply existed to berate others.
1: Yellow Bellies, I hated them, they were just two stupid to survive, anything with that kind of stupidity (they could make PATRICK STAR look smart) would never survive, they don't even know what a predatory animal was, you try to shoot them with a machine gun, say "what's that? It looks tasty."
Now, some people might not like my list, but this is it. I edited because I offended some people, sorry about that :(
-
Topsy improved as the series went on. If you noticed, he did grow softer, and by the time the TV series rolled around, while he still believed threehorns were the best, he wasn't nearly as demeaning towards others as he was before, if memory serves me right. He even let Littlefoot and Spike assist him to save Cera, while in the previous movie series, he may have been hesitant because he may have been "too proud to let a non-threehorn help", or something like that.
Cera has also matured. She isn't as hostile in the TV series from what I recall, and has grown a little softer. I think the reason for her and Topsy's change is the introduction of Tria, which makes sense I think.
And honestly I don't really think Tippy was retarded. He had his own special way of talking just like Petrie. Just because he talks funny doesn't mean he's stupid in anyway. I personally liked Tippy; he was pretty cute.
I know Rhett isn't very well liked, but I don't think I could really dislike him. He was a young kid after all. You can't expect kids that young to always act so mature. Not everyone is an angel as a kid (or at other points of their lives). I'm sure Rhett will mature as he gets older.
Edit:
To be honest, I don't see why "Littlefoot is never killed in any fanfiction" as a basis to hate him. Fanfiction is not canon and should never be used as a tool to judge a character negatively or positively; they have no connection whatsoever to the actual movies or show.
In the fifth movie, if I remember correctly, Cera pushed Littlefoot first, not Littlefoot. And Littlefoot did have every right to be upset about how Cera's father was talking to his grandfather. It's generally normal for kids to be upset when someone else talks down to their folks.
And what do you mean Littlefoot never believed in anything? What about his mother's words in the first movie? He believed in them. What of Chomper. He believed in him as well and continued to trust him even as he got older.
-
like a goody-two shoes version of Hitler in the first movie
Do we really need to go there? I strongly recommend reading a bit about the Holocaust to understand what you put on the same level as a little cartoon dinosaur who (whatever his mistakes) did overcome racial prejudice in the original movie.
Littlefoot was a little too much the sole focus in many of the movies and I see where you are comming from when you say that he was "too good"; but aren't you contradicting yourself if you say this and in the same breath list his atacking of others? We did see Littlefoot make plenty of mistakes throughout the movies.
-
Post removed. I decided to move this up to my last post. I apologize for the inconvenience.
-
Why is it suddenly cool to hate Littlefoot?
-
I don't think it's cool to hate anyone. And so far I haven't seen too many people who don't like Littlefoot. I can only count 2 and I'm not one of them. I can't bring myself to hate a cartoon character.
-
So far I've counted about five and the harsh criticism of Littlefoot's character just keeps popping up in more recent times.
-
I wouldn't say it's 'hate', persay, but rather harsh recognition that he's not a goody-two-shoes Leave it to Beaver kid like advertisements want us to think.
He has his negative moments and times that he does seem a little...jerkish.
But that doesn't make him a jerk...it makes him a regular kid :) .
What did you expect Littlefoot to be, Charlie Buckett in Tim Burton's version of *sigh* "- andThe Chocolate Factory"? Who was practically perfect in so many ways it was appealing. Littlefoot was a kid who had flaws and now that we are older, we are realizing them.
-
Topsy improved as the series went on. If you noticed, he did grow softer, and by the time the TV series rolled around, while he still believed threehorns were the best, he wasn't nearly as demeaning towards others as he was before, if memory serves me right. He even let Littlefoot and Spike assist him to save Cera, while in the previous movie series, he may have been hesitant because he may have been "too proud to let a non-threehorn help", or something like that.
Cera has also matured. She isn't as hostile in the TV series from what I recall, and has grown a little softer. I think the reason for her and Topsy's change is the introduction of Tria, which makes sense I think.
And honestly I don't really think Tippy was retarded. He had his own special way of talking just like Petrie. Just because he talks funny doesn't mean he's stupid in anyway. I personally liked Tippy; he was pretty cute.
I know Rhett isn't very well liked, but I don't think I could really dislike him. He was a young kid after all. You can't expect kids that young to always act so mature. Not everyone is an angel as a kid (or at other points of their lives). I'm sure Rhett will mature as he gets older.
Edit:
To be honest, I don't see why "Littlefoot is never killed in any fanfiction" as a basis to hate him. Fanfiction is not canon and should never be used as a tool to judge a character negatively or positively; they have no connection whatsoever to the actual movies or show.
In the fifth movie, if I remember correctly, Cera pushed Littlefoot first, not Littlefoot. And Littlefoot did have every right to be upset about how Cera's father was talking to his grandfather. It's generally normal for kids to be upset when someone else talks down to their folks.
And what do you mean Littlefoot never believed in anything? What about his mother's words in the first movie? He believed in them. What of Chomper. He believed in him as well and continued to trust him even as he got older.
Oh, sorry, I haven't seen the films in a while, so I don't remember as much, and your right about fanfiction, that was just a rant I was thinking, but other then that, I just don't like how goody-two shoes he is, it's annoying.
-
like a goody-two shoes version of Hitler in the first movie
Do we really need to go there? I strongly recommend reading a bit about the Holocaust to understand what you put on the same level as a little cartoon dinosaur who (whatever his mistakes) did overcome racial prejudice in the original movie.
Littlefoot was a little too much the sole focus in many of the movies and I see where you are comming from when you say that he was "too good"; but aren't you contradicting yourself if you say this and in the same breath list his atacking of others? We did see Littlefoot make plenty of mistakes throughout the movies.
I said that only because he was forcing them to go on, when they were obviously tired, he was just determined following the way, at the expense of his friends, and I have read about the holocaust, I know alot about that, I was just referencing how he was being a slight dictator forcing them to go, and attacking Cera when she insulted his mother and refused to follow him, like what happened to the White Rose Group in 1943, I wasn't talking about speciesm, just his dictatorial determination.
-
His determination to keep the others alive rather than letting them become another group of skeletons such as the ones they passed by on the journey. Sorry to be so direct, but the comparison of that with the torturing and murdering of millions of people or even the murdering of the members of the White Rose is just ridiculous. I'm afraid it has become fashionable on the internet to compare anything one doesn't like to Hitler and the nazis. I'm afraid that in the long run this is harming our understanding of the dimension of the crime. The murdering of even a single human is an act of barbarous cruelty and the crimes of the holocaust probably go beyond what a human mind can really perceive in all its perverted perfidiousness.
Littlefoot could have left the others behind to die and go on by himself. It would have made things "easier" for him on several ocassions. No need to share what little food Littlefoot may have found. No need to function as a bridge for others or to carry somebody else the whole time. But he did not.
Comparing him to Hitler for that really doesn't make any sense at all. For the sake of those who actually did suffer in the Holocaust and WW2 I think we really should cut out any comparisions to minor every day inconveniences or anything we disagree with. I'm not saying that there isn't a good number of things that can be criticized about Littlefoot, but putting him on a Hitler-level is just over the top and inconsiderate towards those who actually experienced the misery caused by Hitler and his many willfull henchmen.
-
I agree with Malte. Yes Littlefoot has done not so nice things. But he was only trying to keep the others alive in the first movie. What did you, Chomper98, expect him to do? Just not do anything and let them succumb to the threats of the unknown world? Because he could have very easily done so. When he separated from the group after the fight with Cera, he could have decided never to return and here's the end result of that: Spike and Ducky fry to death, Petrie drowns in tar, and Cera gets beaten up, perhaps killed, by the pachys. Is that any better than Littlefoot urging them to never give up? He could have let them rest, I stated that myself, but his "dictatorship" as you call it was out of care for the others, not because he simply wanted to boss them around.

Yeah, your right.
-
I know that he was determined to keep them alive, but forcing them to continue on was killing them, if he just kept forcing them on, they would have died, if he didn't let them rest, so his determination to keep them alive would have killed them if they continued on without rest, and it seemd he was determined to just follow his mother's way, and he considered a rest or even going around the mountain as the wrong way, and not accepting Cera was frustrated and wanted an easy way to go, and I know it was uncalled for comparing him to Hitler, thats why I edited it, because I realize it was insulting, but still, he did act like a very, very low form of a dictator, not giving Cera a choice, and his bossiness, that was the only part I found bad about him, he was okay in everything else, but in that scene, forcing someone to stay with you even if they want to leave is what killers do to their hostages, so he did have a blackmark in that one scene, because his determination was killing them. So I know it was wrong to compare him to Hitler, but I only compared his disregard and refusal to accept other's views as the only, very, very, VERY vague similarity, he has a good heart every other time, but at that time, he was being a jerk who seemed like a benign dictator in that single moment.
-
10,Littlefoot:becose it's cool to hate him :p
Now seriously I don't hate any of the characters realy,but there were some who I disliked,or had problems with(without order):
Mo:his voice was annoying,and I found odd how he made joke about serious things.
Tippy:So.....is it a boy or a girl?
Ducky in that sky color stones episode:She totally acted like Gollum in that episode,when she hold her stones i thought she was about to say "my precious"
Chomper in the lone journey episode:Yeah,im going to teach other sharpteeth to be nice!I will tell them to eat mud instead of meat.DUMB :bang
Ruby and Tricia:nothing serious problems with them,only that their collor is HURTING MY EYE!!
Imaginary friends::wow RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!that look.....they want your soul!I would rather face with a t-rex.
-
I would have laughed if Ducky said "my precious". :lol
-
I know that he was determined to keep them alive, but forcing them to continue on was killing them,
Proof?
if he just kept forcing them on, they would have died, if he didn't let them rest,
Proof?
so his determination to keep them alive would have killed them if they continued on without rest, and it seemd he was determined to just follow his mother's way, and he considered a rest or even going around the mountain as the wrong way, and not accepting Cera was frustrated and wanted an easy way to go, and I know it was uncalled for comparing him to Hitler, thats why I edited it, because I realize it was insulting, but still, he did act like a very, very low form of a dictator, not giving Cera a choice, and his bossiness, that was the only part I found bad about him, he was okay in everything else, but in that scene, forcing someone to stay with you even if they want to leave is what killers do to their hostages, so he did have a blackmark in that one scene, because his determination was killing them.

First of all, he was in the same shape they were. It's not his fault they lacked his drive. Second, he trying to force them to stay with him because they'd have died if they strayed from the path. Disregard for them? HE WAS TRYING TO SAVE THEM. They were in a tough situation, so he had to be tough as well to keep the group going.

Disregard to other's views! He never let anyone disagree with him! That's why he was being dictatorial. Look at them when they're climbing, they're obviously exhausted and needed rest, but Littlefoot thought they were quitting. Come on, exhaustion can cause death, and they looked near to it! If I were in Littlefoot's position, I would let them rest, instead of trying to force them to go on.
-
What other views? They didn't have any better ideas. He was literally the only one who had an inkling of which direction to go in. Cera just wanted to wander off and hope for the best. I'd disregard that stupidity, too.
Littlefoot was just as tired as they were, and they were on the side of the mountain. He and the viewer both knew they couldn't stop before reaching stable ground. If they had stopped to rest, the ledges they were sitting on could have given out. It's a bloody good thing he was there to force them on.

^ Gaah, you hatin' on the eggstealers? Prepare to face my wrath!
:lol
I'm just kidding, seriously no wrath-inflicting, I promise.
Why is it you hate them, though?
Ehh okay, Top Ten I Hate.... ish?
1. Topsy at times. I don't hate the character, just his attitude... "Tough", anyone?
2. Flyer Judges - seriously, it would have been so cool if Pterano had resurfaced in XII, as a judge!! but nooo, we got whack jobs! :(
3. The Sharpteeth as the series goes on... just don't act bloodthirsty and nasty like in the first one. THAT sharptooth was the badass boss, y'all! We want-ses VIOLENCE!
4. Petrie's siblings! They were so MEAN! :anger
5. Cera at times, too. Her unrealistically stubborn attitude gets at me, even if she is one of my fave characters :(
6. The velocis or whatever they were from III - kinda dim, wot?
7. Hyp - really didn't need to act that way. I like the character, but there was no call to act nasty. I know, I know, the controlling dad and all, but... heck, TOPSY even got it!
8. Mutt - he makes me laugh, but he's also a little minion
9. Nod - same thing, except he's a little more nasty :p
10. Ozzy - even though I really liek him (not as much as Strut ;P) he's still a nasty, cranky-pants, who is devious and calculating...
-- Tippy and Rhett are not on the list because I actually like those guys, same with the Tinysauruses. I really thought they were interesting charries.
Ali is awesome, even if she wasn't in the series :( and so were Dil and Ichy. Rinkus and Sierra were also bomb! XDD
-
I don't really hate any LBT characters since they're all needed for the plot(mostly)
Best example: Cera, I hated her before I thought like I think now, because she is always mean, but it's needed to make LBT what it is now
-
10. The Original Sharptooth: I hated this guy so much as a kid, but for reasons that basically amount to why he's such a memorable villain.
9. I didn't like Petrie too much as a kid either. I started liking him as I got older, though.
8. Ali in the TV series. I dunno, she seemed really out of character for me. I wouldn't have pictured her as someone who resigns herself obediantly to others, like she does to Rhett. Speaking of which...
7. Rhett. I get that I was supposed to hate him, just like scuttle and the original sharptooth, but I still found him REALLY obnoxious.
6. Shorty: At first. When I first saw the tenth movie, I hated the idea of this punk being Littlefoot's brother. Now I realize he's actually among the best characters introduced in the later sequels. But still, I hated him at first.
5. Squeakers: I thought he was annoying.
4. Mr. Threehorn. I think everyone hates him at some point.
3. The Narrator: In the later sequels I'm like: so we really need you here anymore?
2. Scuttle: Methinks the crustacean doth resemble, in temperament, a particular orifice betwince the peaks of yond rosey mounds... and Mr. Krabs. In fact, I'n virtually certain much of his character was inspired by him. Also, if I recall, didn't Cera nearly die trying to get food to him?
1. The Yellow Bellies: The only characters I actively hate.
-
I don't hate any of the characters except for the Yellow Bellies.
-
Hmm, let's see...
10. Spike, I know there's more to him than this but his character is very simplistic when compared to the rest of the Gang, I don't find his "contributions" to the songs and the Stranger from the Mysterious Above and Through the Eyes of a Spiketail were close to being the worst episodes IMO.
9.Wild Arms, a pure comic relief and not a very successful one. Stole Shorty's rightful place in the film.
8. Dana and Diana, very little entertainment value and I didn't find them needed in any way.
7. Hyp, Mutt and Nod: I find When You're Big a horrible song and their inclusion in the 3rd film was its biggest problem.
6. Mr. Threehorn, Sorry, the herd disputes and bossy adults aren't the reason I love LBT.
5. Mr. Clubtail/ Kosh, Usually pointless, gross and annoying character.
4. Tippy, just looking at him and listening to his voice makes me want to skip his scenes.
3. Tria, I just hate her character and the "dynamics" she brought into the franchise.
2. Big Daddy: terrible personality, terrible design, terrible voice, terrible name. :x
1. The Yellow Bellies, very original I know.
-
wow, thanks for bumping this thread.
Well, here is TWO lists of characters. First on is least favorite characters. Second one is who is HATED by me.
Here we go:
---------------------------------
Least favorite characters: (OK, it seems I placed more important and major characters more closer to "prize" places, because they kept make huge influence on general universe and still, their bad sides of character for very long time, so I more and more disliked them.)
11-12) Shorty+Rhett.
Hehe, almost always I consider them as two sides of one character. XD
I dislike Shorty just because of his bully, irresponsible toward others, and great lying temper character in LBT10 and TV episode. (Perfect match for Cera, I would say! XD)
I dislike Rhett for what he did, of course. Maybe he would Rehabilitate in future, but creators were stupid and din't make another episode with Ali an him.
10) Yellowbellies.
I see guys, they're the most hateful characters for you, guys.
I understand why...
But for me, they are not!
But reason you dislike and even hate them is the same reason I dislike them.
9) Hyp's gang.
Mostly because I just dislike bullies. Even hate them. So more reasons why they're here is in my HATE LIST. But even if I close my eyes on it, they acted stupid and disattractive. And they're even elder than our gang!
8) Ichy and Dil.
Sigh... They could be SERIOUS THREAT. (as in my imagination of alternate version of the movie.. *rollseye*) BOTH of them almost doomed Littlefoot, Petrie and Ducky. But they ended as SERIOUS FAIL. Thanksfully to moments when they are like wife and husband who tired of each other in some B class show!
7) Pterano.
Oh, Pterano, Pterano... His bad character and actions... Hope he will be better. :D
6-5) Rinkus and Sierra + Ozzie and Strut.
I hate all of them for what they did and intended to do (see HATE LIST). but despite that, they could be GOOD BAD GUYS, it means - they could be very good sinister villains and I would actually LIKE their evil character appearance... But their comic relief spoiled everything, and they acts very stupid sometimes.
4) Red Claw. (with or without his fast biters)
Well, if he was yet another guest sequel-stupid-Sharptooth character, I wouldn't say a word.
But what the hell, he is main antagonist of the TV show arc, who is reason our two friends are living in valley, and Chomper with Ruby dared to call him "the most mean and dangerous Sharptooth"!!!!
No, I can't stand still when such things happen. I dislike him a lot. You're epitome of sharpteeth's general fail.
And your character wasn't described a lot... Nah. You're awful.
3) CERA.
Oh, Cera. You're one of five main characters, but you're so... sigh.
I will place first part of why I dislike her in my HATE LIST.
Second part is: I just dislike her temper character nature. And her actions that were led to dangerous troubles.
I absolutely not like such dinosaurs. I'm sorry, Cera. But that's my nature. I know about your father's and threehorns's herd influence, but still... I think you forgive me for that as I forgave you for what you did in first movie. You should be happy I DID START to like your character and find something good in you in many last years. ;)
2) SPIKE. SPIKE. SPIKE. SPIKE... Oh, Spike...
Surprise? Wanna know how one of main characters and partly the most harmless and cute member of the Gang and LBT universe ended here? Even one place below Cera herself?!! Do you want?
If yes, then I will write (at last) small article in his character discussion thread.
and OF COURSE, first place is:
1) Topps.
I *almost* don't care his character went to *good* a bit with last movies. For what he did during all this time, he's still my least favorite character.
----------------------------------
Characters I HATE for some reasons:
10) Spike. AGAIN...
You're one of my least favorite character, ok. I don't hate you generally, and you didn't do worst things like others characters... But dammit, sometimes, even you with your general appearance and actions make me mad!!!
9) Yellowbellies. The whole herd. One stupid herd.
And again, I see guys, they're not only the least liked characters for you, guys, but as well as the most hateful. But for me, they weren't. I facepalmed about their eternal stupidity, I disliked them. But.. I didn't HATED them for that so much. They're stupid from nature itself. It is not great reason to reeeealy hate them for their actions in context of movie.
8) Hyp's gang.
Here, in my life, I really was some kind of good child boy, lol. And I knew a lot of bullies of different level of "evil". And when I watched their characters in movie, I was hating them by default.
Heh, with years, some bullies in my life became absolutely normal people. So now I don't hate their characters so much. Almost only past experience of first watching left.
7) RedClaw and his fast biters.
This time, it is said that they "hound" other sharpteeth for not natural reasons. And I believe they are hunting for Chomper and Ruby for more not natural reason.
And I don't talk about my personal hate about his stupid appearance as main antagonist and "threat"!!! :P
6) CERA.
Oh, my girl... No excuse what you did in original movie. For only this, I hated you FOR ALL 13 MOVIES during my very first LBT marathon.
And your awful temper and character in next movies only feed my inner fire. >:[
After some time, I *forgave* her. But aftermatch... It makes me place her here. Even after I did really start to like her in last years.
5) Topps.
His actions is awful. But he can be happy I didn't posted him in "prize" plces, since even him didn't do the most horrible things.
4) Pterano.
Man who had endless selfish-ness, almost sinister character. Doomed many dinosaurs AND didn't repent in face of others at first time. Plus, he almost repeated situation in his last movie, and he obviously had, at least, HUUUUGE sprouts of becoming pure villain.
3) Rinkus and Sierra.
Example of not-carnivores and pure VILLAINS of LBT universe. (NOT LIKE SHARPTOOTH FROM FIRST MOVIE!!!) They would not have a doubt in killing someone for some not-nature reason, for fun. Even killing harmless CHILD.
2) Ozzy and Strut.
Another example, like previous ones.
At first, I wanted to close my eyes on stealing eating eggs, since it's nature laws. BUT. Since Strut wasn't mind to eat green food, I assume that they're some kind of omnivores: they WON'T die if they doesn't eat eggs (at least for days). But Ozzy wanted to eat something more tasteful. So, no excuse.
And for trying to kill childred just for fun... (and killing my favorite character!) I wish Chomper's parents killed you. No supise MYSELF killed one of you in my LBT fanuniverse. D:<
And I do NOT make excuses for Strut... He's idiotic, but still, he offered to do that thing to Littlefoot. :/
and of course...
1) Guess what characted gave me nightmares and endless tears?
Funny: This character is my third-fourth FAVORITE character in LBT universe, but, at the same time, I have hated (and still hate) him for all this time. For what he did. I DON'T CARE IT WAS NATURE!!! I KNOW!!! BUT I DON'T CARE!!!
Guess who?
-
I'll probably be editing this post a good bit, FYI. There really are no characters that I hate, and there are some where I'm sure I'm going to get A LOT of scorn for not hating them. However, there are some that I don't particularly like, and some that I do full-on dislike (but not necessarily hate):
-Rhett
Does anyone like him? I know I don't. Do I really need to explain why? I'm trying to decide whether to make him change or feed him to a sharptooth when I start writing LBT fan fiction.
-Yellow bellies
I probably like them more than most of the the LBT fandom does, but that's NOT to say that I love them. I just don't really like them OR dislike them. They were kinda cute and good for a few laughs plus a decent song (yes, I like the Yellow Belly Bounce song *grabs popcorn*), but they were SO DUMB!!!!!!! I may not dislike them as much as you probably do, but I do get why they're among the more hated LBT characters. :bang
-Topsy
I REALLY hated him as a child, especially because of how mean he was in the third movie. He has kinda grown on me now that I'm older, but in the end, he's still a racist d*****bag, so while I no longer hate him, he stays on my list of characters I don't particularly like. Sorry, Cera! x(cera
-Ali in the TV series
I love Ali from Journey Through The Mists, but come on, what the heck did Universal do to her?!?! I'm happy that she finally reappeared in the LBT canon after they promised she would at the end of the fourth movie, but I'm not happy with how she did. When I start writing LBT fan fiction, I'll definitely be reviving the Ali that we all know and love.
-Petrie's imaginary friend
I'm going to echo everyone else and say BIG-LIPPED ALLIGATOR!!!! The song was okay, albeit nowhere near as good as the likes of Always There or certain songs from the credits sung by certain people named Donny Osmond and Diana Ross, but the character was just plain cringe-worthy! I'm glad he had such a small presence.
-Rinkus and Sierra
Pterano got barely knocked off this list because of how his conscience caught up to him. As for Rinkus and Sierra, I don't like them because they were just pure evil, whereas Pterano wasn't.
-Dana and Dinah
Like the yellow bellies, I probably don't dislike them as much as many other other LBT fans do, but they really added nothing to the movie but a little bit of token cuteness/comic relief, and they were a bit annoying at times. I don't particularly dislike them, but I don't particularly like them either.
-Hyp, Nod and Mutt
I don't like bullies. That's all I have to say. I especially don't like Hyp. He's by far the meanest of the three AND he's ugly as heck!
-Shorty
He was so mean to Littlefoot!
-Ozzy
See Rinkus and Sierra. There's also how mean he was to Strut. The comic relief was petty good though, which is why I like him more than Rinkus and Sierra.
-Mr Clubtail
I know many LBT fans hate him, but I really haven't ever had any strong opinions on him either way.
And then there are some that I do like, but I also can see why people might not:
-Cera
I love her, and I never disliked her overall, but when I was a kid, I didn't like how mean and bossy she was. I liked her all in all, but she kinda rubbed me the wrong way sometimes.
-Mo
I just find him cute and funny. I understand how people can think he's annoying, but I personally don't.
-Spike
I've always loved him, but he can often be quite a fifth-wheel
-Dil and Ichy
They did some reprehensible things, but I think the friction between them is hilarious. They're actually my favorite of all the LBT villains.
Now for some where I don't really understand all the hate on them:
-Ruby
I know she basically appeared in the Great Valley out of nowhere, but I think she's a nice addition to the gang. When I first started revisiting LBT, I was pretty happy when I heard about Ruby. In fact, if you go over to the welcome center, notice that my introduction thread's title is her catchphrase.
-Littlefoot
I know he's not nearly as hated as Rhett or the yellow bellies, but I'm flabbergasted by how many people are hating on him! He's always been my favorite character and he always will be. I'm not going to lie and say that there have never been any 'wth?' moments with him, but I just could never find it in my heart to not love him anyway. I always thought he was a beloved character in the fandom, but I guess he's one of those 'polarizing' ones you either love or hate.
-
I'm gonna treat this more like a "Top 10 Least Favorite Characters" list, since I don't really hate many characters, but here goes.
10. Nod. Hyp and Mutt had their own personalities, I'll give them that, but Nod is a purely mindless follower who does almost nothing but parrot what Hyp says all the time. I have a hard time finding any redeeming qualities for him...or any qualities at all, for that matter.
9. Mr. Thicknose. A smug know-it-all for way too much of the movie. His attitude towards Littlefoot early on is really hard to stomach, combined with that egotistical attitude of his.
8. Hyp's dad. As a mean father who doesn't know how to do anything but yell, he's another Mr. Threehorn 2.0...I get that he had a point in the moral of the story, but that doesn't mean I have to like him.
7. Petrie's siblings. :opetrie Mean to Petrie. Mean to Guido. Probably mean to everybody. Not really anything else to say here.
6. Saro. Not only did he want Grandpa Longneck to uproot his family life to go tell longneck stories again, he was really immature when Grandpa's answer was (surprise) "no." The rockslide that trapped Littlefoot and Chomper in the Mysterious Beyond was caused by him stomping his foot in anger, and he never even apologized or showed any shame over it--instead, he scolded the kids for coming after him. Too bad, because his character had more potential than others in the TV show.
5. Old One. Nothing but doom and gloom with this one. "Who knows how long that will last," she says when Grandma Longneck reports how nice the Great Valley's climate is. She's barely even sympathetic when Grandpa Longneck gets sick.
4. Mr. Clubtail, aka Kosh. I don't know what happened to him since LBT V, when he was just a friendly guy who enjoyed tree stars in the morning, but boy, did he go downhill. No character who bonks Guido right in the face for no reason whatsoever is a friend of mine. Plus, he was really immature and obnoxious in that TV episode where he was hogging sweet bubbles, burping right in Cera's face when the Gang was trying to get some.
3. Shorty. I know some fans like him, so I hope I don't offend anybody, but his turnaround was way too last-minute for me to really believe in it. One smile at Littlefoot (by the time the movie is just about over) isn't enough for me to forgive him for flinging a rock in Littlefoot's face as hard as he could. He spent too much time in that movie being an angsty punk for me to like him.
2. Tippy's mom. I can't stand how she constantly tries to drag Spike away from his real family. :sducky Obviously, she was someone who was raised under the "threehorns don't play with longnecks" mentality. Unlike the originator of that quote, however, she's got such a nauseatingly sugary demeanor (which can only be phony-baloney as far as I'm concerned) that not only is she cemented onto this list but in one of the lowest spots, even. "Really? How nice!" Gag, you can practically smell the phoniness!
1. Milo, Lydia, and Plower. You don't remember them, huh? Well, that's because they're some of those random TV series characters who were just "there" and not much else: the underground mammals who basically mistook Spike for some sort of god. No offense to anyone who enjoyed that episode, but it was my least favorite of the whole series. It just wasn't funny to me--it's actually one of the very few LBT moments that ever irritated me. :anger The TV series had some really good Spike moments in certain episodes, but this sure wasn't one of them IMO. Spike seems uncharacteristically dumb, and I'm sure it's because they figured the dumber he was, the funnier it'd be when these weird little animals think he's their savior. Milo and Lydia seem like they must be incredibly dumb in order to think that Spike as he's characterized in this episode is some legendary, powerful being. As for Plower, the lone mammal who isn't ready to join the Spike-worshipping cult right off the bat...he irritates me even MORE than the others, with his constant snide remarks and chipmunk-ish voice! He's gotta be my least favorite LBT character of all time. I actually was going to rank these characters as individuals at first, but then I realized I couldn't, due to one of the most annoying things about them being that the episode insisted on shoving them all in your face at once throughout their screentime. I maybe could've handled one of these things, but three? Nooooooo! And don't even get me started on that embarrassing "Beyond the Mysterious Beyond" cover they sang...that was awful. :rolleyes
Funny, I can't believe Ichy and Dil didn't make it on this list, considering I thought they were my least favorites when I first joined the GoF. My recent rewatch of all the LBT movies sure changed my viewpoint on a lot. Can't believe no one from LBT XI made it on here, either, since that movie is my least favorite...I guess those characters were just too purely generic for me to even take note of here.

Oh, God. I don't think I'll make it to 10, because there's not a lot of characters that I hate in LBT. Maybe there are characters that I just go "Eh" at, but never any downright hate. That's how good the characterization is.
1) The Yellowbellies. 'Nuff said.
2) Rhett. How dare he try to steal Ali away from her beloved Littlefoot! *shields OTP protectively* The only value I see in him is his potential as an antagonist in Littlefoot's future as an adult.
3) The Tinysauruses. Don't get me wrong, I like the ones that we got to know individually, but as a whole... In hindsight, I realize the movie they debuted in was the start of the flanderization of LBT. At the time, I never saw kid-friendlier characters than them...that is, until the Yellowbellies. Them being super-tiny Longnecks felt like such an unneeded gimmick.
Told you guys I couldn't make it to 10. Heck, I couldn't even break the 5 mark!

Hate is a strong word to use rather you should just use the term unhappy. If I were to say I was unhappy, it would have to go to Ozzy and Strut. At first, I wanted to close my eyes on stealing eating eggs, since it's nature laws. BUT. Since Strut wasn't mind to eat green food, I assume that they're some kind of omnivores: they WON'T die if they doesn't eat eggs (at least for days). But Ozzy wanted to eat something more tasteful. This made me very unhappy.
And for trying to kill childred just for fun... (and killing my favorite character!) I wish Chomper's parents killed you. No supise MYSELF killed one of you in my LBT fanuniverse. D:<
And I do NOT make excuses for Strut... He's idiotic, but still, he offered to do that thing to Littlefoot. :/

Your intuition is good, I'd say. In real life, struthiomimus was likely eating plants with maybe some omnivory, similar to a lot of modern herbivores. My headcanon is that Ozzy is just a weirdo struthi who's obsessed with eating eggs and drags his brother along too. Not to say Strut is entirely innocent, he sure does make threats of his own towards the end of the movie.
Another thought is that maybe Ozzy and Strut come from a "culture" of struthis who are egg-eaters, while other cultures tend towards plants. Kind of like different modern day killer whales pods having different diet preferences even when they live relatively close to one another. Either way, eating eggs when you clearly could eat plants is kinda messed up, yo. And I'd guess Ozzy and Strut probably are dead, considering we never see them again after they're chased by Chomper's parents.

That's actually a pretty interesting hypothesis there. It doesn't really explain why Strut is so unlike his brother when it comes to diet, though. Maybe his herd came across a plant-friendly one when he was a child? Obviously we're not going to have a canon explanation for that in the near-future, though.

Having recently rewatched some TV series episodes I hadn't seen in ages, I may have to revise my list here one of these days just to add that annoying talking crab to it. You know the one...that character that looks like he came out of SpongeBob. :p

@RainbowFaceProtege It's Scuttles your talking about.

My list is the same. Save for Rhett, he has grown on me.

Okay, I don't want to offend anyone with this list, this is just my opinion.
10. Mr. Clubtail
He's a grouch, but he's also the lowest on my list for the "bopper" scene in XII.
9. Mo
I didn't like how he really didn't take the gang trying to get him home very seriously. I thought the joke about getting stuck wasn't very funny.
8 and 7. Dil and Ichy
I am mentioning these at the same time because I didn't like them for the same reason. I didn't like the constant arguing. Dil's placed higher because she's the only female antagonist. Also, I can't say the song wasn't catchy.
6. Shorty
He was way too harsh on Littlefoot. I know why he was, but the rock he threw at Littlefoot seemed very unnecessary.
5. Nod
He had no personality. But his dance in "When You're Big" was entertaining.
4. Doc
He seemed grumpy, and not in a good way, like Threehorn. Also, I don't like Westerns.
3. Mr. Thicknose
He seemed like he was awfully harsh on Littlefoot, since he's just a kid.
2. Big Daddy
A copy of Mr. Threehorn, but with less character.
1. The Old One
Wow, she was really negative. I mean, the whole, "We can't go back to our land to save your grandfather. Too bad," was just mean.

Nah, you're good. The worst you'll ever get here is probably confusion on some of the choices.

That he confesses, apologizes, and is redeemed as a character. I also think his boasting is hilarious.

Welp.
I can't say I hate any of the characters, but here's my least liked:
10. Red Claw - weak villain. He hardly poses a threat to the kids, let alone any other Great Valley residents. "Biggest and meanest sharptooth of them all"? Yeah I don't think so.
9. Veeery specific here, but that longneck in the Old One's herd who immediately went, "NOT ME!" when Grandma asked if any of her cousins were willing to take her to the land of mists. Like, geez, the guy didn't even hesitate to shut down the lady begging for help to save her dying husband.
8. Wild Arms - I do think he has comedic value when he's with Grandpa and Topps, but as someone else stated, he took Shorty's role. I can't forgive that easily, sorry. :p
7. Dinah and Dana - They're just the younger-and-more-annoying-than-the-main-kids trope, and yeah, they're certainly more annoying.
6. Petrie's siblings - Constantly on Petrie's back and very judgmental overall, and their voices are kinda annoying. :p
5. Ozzy and Strut - An entertaining pair at first, but they have an unhealthy obsession with the kids that directly stopped them getting one egg. And Strut's decision on what to do with Littlefoot at the end... yikes. :rhett_ohsnap
4. Tippy's Mom - She comes across as overbearing when it comes to Spike and seems to have no qualms with separating him from his family. And as RainbowFaceProtege said, she comes across as pretty fake-nice around Ducky's mom which really rubs me the wrong way.
3. Mr Clubtail - He's just there to be grouchy most of the time.
2. Hyp, Nod and Mutt - Every time they appear on screen it's just 'I'm bigger so I'm better than you' and it's the same formula in every scene they're in. They show up, threaten the gang, then get scared off by something.
1. The yellowbellies (yeah, original) - Actually... Foobie's okay, because I like his bond with Spike. :lol I'm not sure how any of the others survived in the outside world.
-
Yes… let the Yellowbelly hate flow. :p
