AS a kid I didn't think too many parts of LBT were scary. Sure, when I saw movie 1 after seeing a bunch of sequels, it was a little startling, but not too scary, and movie 5's leaf gobblers were dfinitely creepy, and I think i was a little scared of the song "Whoo needs you" in 4. But the part that really unnerved me was in 6.
43:51-44:38 is so sad...maybe it's because the same music that played when Littlefoot's mom died is playing, and Ducky's long speech about bad luck just makes it even sadder, or something!
And then 44:39-44:54 BOOM!
It's like you just finished listening to a CD, and the last track was something really beuatiful and tranquil, and then suddenly there's a hidden track that just blasts out loud music (Weird Al's "Bite me" comes to mind.) The sheer brightness of it all is enough to creep you out, and the suddeness of it is startling, and Thomas Dekker's scream is more frightening then any scream Littlefoot ever made in movie 1. Or 2. Or any film before now. It's sudden, abrupt things that scare me, and espicially after extensive sad, tranquil, sweet moments that really relax you, like the one I just showed here.
The scene before is even sadder on watching it again with the knowledge that this is the last time we're ever going to see
- Code: on
Ducky and Spike
before
- Code: on
they get stung again and again by big nasty wasps
. I feel so sorry for them, and espicially that it had to happen in this film...the one with "Dinah" and "Dana". (Barf)
Why couldn't they injure those awful little babies? I don't care about them!
Anyways, it's moments that are sudden like this after really beautiful ones that scare me. Here's a song I think would work well with the scene before the screaming nightmare(in case you didn't know I sometimes mute the movies and put in random pop songs that sort of fit the mood):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru1bf6au3MA&feature=relatedIt sort of has a sad, end of the day, walking away feel to it. Ironically, it's the last track on the album and has a weird, creepy old song afterwards.
Thankfully, we're shortly after treated to the real fun "Bad Luck"---a tremendous relief after the rather bad "Lone Dinosaur" and the rotten "Friends for dinner" of the last film. It's probably the funnest song LBT has ever given us. I doubt we'll get a song as fun as this again ("Adventuring" and"Flip Flap and Fly" are weak by comparision. And weak on their own.)
