Yeah I let the movie silently play in the background on Netflix yesterday just to boost their numbers. Every bit helps.YES I noticed that right away. They made a whole song out of it!QuoteInteresting - I didn't notice any glaring out-of-character moments. What examples stood out to you?
Not out-of-character, but it annoyed me that Chomper was able to track their scent when we wasted so much screentime on stickweed and how it made their scents unsmellable.
CGI has to some extend already been used in LBT. I think the first time was in the opening of LBT 7 where I got to say it looked really terrible and artificial. Same goes for moments in LBT 10 (the scene in which Littlefoot runs along the branch before spotting the crater valley) where the CGI in my opinion looked like the graphics of a poor computer game. On the other hand I think there was some good use of what I assume to have been CGI in LBT 9 where I believe it was used to create some water effects which, I think fitted in nicely. If used correctly CGI needn't constitute a total breach of style, but if used poorly it may become just that.I remember that branch scene, I always knew something was off about it.
I'm just going to say this. To me, Anndi McAfee IS Crea! There's just no one else I can see doing the role these days. You can get the greatest voice actor ever, and I would STILL choose Anndi McAfee over the great voice actor. It's also the same with Aria as Ducky.I agree! I love Cera and she just isn't the same without Anndi Mcafee voicing her.. In movies 1-4, Cera sounded like too much of a brat. Now she sounds more tough, proud, and a bit stuck up, which is more like her character that I love haha
Disagree about that all you want! I'll support the role they have until the end.
I think it may be helping to define what everyone understands as an "anti-hero" since several different views of what an anti-hero is or istn't and does or doesn't seem to be about.I know this is unrelated but I love Animals of Farthing Wood ^^ Weasel is definitely an antihero. I feel like Cera could be in the first movie (she's my favorite character, I don't mean it in a bad way); she does actually get into a physical fight with Littlefoot and she leads the others away from him.
I think an anti-hero usually shows a very distinct lack of the physical or psychological qualities usually associated with a "classical hero". The abilities an anti hero may lack (not necessarily all of them) may include strength, intelligence, courage, adventurousness, loyalty, idealism, devotion, sense of purpose etc. Very often "anti-heros" are thrown into adventures against their will, but sometimes they end up living up to their role as a hero (examples for this may be the hobbits in J.R.R. Tolkien's books).
I can't say I ever considered Cera any kind of anti hero. She does possess many of the "traditional" heroic qualities and her reluctance against company (even against representatives of another species) doesn't make her an anti-hero (if that was enough to turn her into an anti-hero we would have to put that selfsame label on the "lone dinosaur" too).
A character whom I always saw as an interesting case of "anti-hero" was Weasel from the Animals of Farthing Wood (just in the TV-series, not in the books).
The one character who I think could arguably be called an anti hero in the LBT franchise may be Pterano whose self-righteousness, lack of actual courage, greed for power etc. may all be qualities of an anti-hero. Personally I am not really sure though if "anti-hero" really fits for I somewhat don't really see much of the redeeming qualities or actions that usually make up for the "hero" in the word anti hero (he just happens to be considered "good inside" by the kids and saves Ducky from a fall (without risking anything in doing so) she would have never had had he not abducted her for uncertain reasons).
What does everyone else think makes a character an anti-hero?
