General Land Before Time / does ghosts exist in the land before time?
« on: January 15, 2008, 12:02:20 AM »
I'm with lbt/cty lover,

In fanfics the existence of the supernatural varies depending on the writers and their ideas.

In the canon... this is debatable but I'd say there are some supernatural occurances (Cloud formation in 1st movie, Rainbow Faces in LBT 7).

1988 Theatrical Release / You Just Burst My (Happy) Bubble Don! :-(
« on: January 12, 2008, 06:16:52 PM »
Darn, those missing scenes REALLY tantalized me.

It is VERY likely the scenes are permanently lost.

As landbeforetimelover said, if they are on a computer it would take an obscene amount of money to restore them:

Calculation for cost to recover deleted scenes:

Note: numbers are from landbeforetimelover's post

19 scenes x $60-$100 per hour, wages for computer technician x 500 hours =
$570,000 - $950,000

Admittedly, this is just a guess but with costs over half a million dollars Universal will NEVER restore the deleted scenes.

But at that time (1988) it is more likely the movie was hand drawn and computers were not used or sparingly used. Unless the scenes are are found somewhere in the Universal archives it is very likely that no one will ever see the scenes again.

There is much more that can be shown:

1. Explain how Chomper got off of the island and met Ruby, as well as explain the whole Redclaw story.
 
2. Resolve exactly how Chomper (and Ruby?) will find a way to live together with the plant-eaters, or else show that doing so is impossible.

3. If they are going to end the series, advance time and show the characters in a more adult form, and end the series on the note it began; with the children of the original characters hatching.

4. Remember the "Great Longneck Test"? Littlefoot proved that he could be a good leader in that thing... Perhaps he ought to be made leader of a herd. Maybe he'll merge his herd with Ali's... and have to fight Rhett (Ret?) to get at her.

5. If enough time passes, Pterano can return.
Exactly.

But I have a bizzare feeling that the LBT sequels will propel it back into the limelight or drag it to a terrible end.

I REFUSE an LBT ending akin to the ending of the Sopranos!! :x

LBT and Kingdom Hearts

 
I have actually seen this.

Now for some bad crossovers:

Halo x LBT:
Master Chief travels back in time due to a malfunctioning portal and he meets the LBT gang and he discovers that the Covenant are already here and they recruited the sharpteeth on their side. Will the Great Valley Dinosaurs and Master Chief be able to defeat the Covenant and the sharpteeth?

Red Alert 2 x LBT:
I don't even KNOW how this will work out. Might have something to do with the Time Machine in RA2: Yuri's Revenge

Tiberian Sun x LBT:
I don't even KNOW how this will work out.


OT: I once saw a Halo-Odyssey crossover. THAT is bizzare.

General Land Before Time / Favorite Sharptooth in the series?
« on: January 12, 2008, 02:20:59 PM »
I can't vote because I like Chomper just as a character.

I absolutely loved The Sharptooth (original LBT) because he was the most hardcore of the sharpteeth and the fact that he was almost invincible.

General Land Before Time / Guest Character Reappearances
« on: January 12, 2008, 02:10:33 PM »
I would REALLY want Chomper to reappear. He seems so integral to the series

Ozzie and Strut. I do want them to reappear. They were hilarious (especially Strut.)

I wouldn't mind if Ithcy and Dil were to reappear (As long as they don't sing "Who Needs You" again. That song was REALLY an "ouch" moment for me. :x)

Sierra/Rinkus. Hmm. This is tough. As much as I think Sierra is a sadistic jerk, he and Rinkus do have great potential to be the next villians.

The Sharptooth from the 1st LBT. I do want him to reappear, but he's dead (or is he?). This idea is explored in a fanfic that I'm currently in the planning stage of.

I can't think of any characters that do not deserve to reappear.

General Land Before Time / Should the songs be removed?

Who Needs You was the most cringe worthy moment I've had in LBT thus so far.
Yeah. That was an "ouch" moment for me.

To be honest, I'm actually somewhat in the middle, they are an integral part of the LBT series and I do like some of them, but they are occasionally painful and I would enjoy the movies more if there were someway to bypass the songs.

Some of the songs I liked:

"If We Hold On Together" (LBT) is stunningly beautiful, with a distinct sad edge to it.

The song "Always There" (LBT 5) has a distinctly haunting but at the same time beautiful feel to it.

"Friends for Dinner" (LBT 5) plain cracked me up. The part about Chomper not eating Cera "because she's too tough" made me laugh when I 1st saw it and still makes me laugh 7 years later

General Land Before Time / Should the songs be removed?
« on: January 11, 2008, 11:38:36 PM »
Should the songs be removed or should they be kept as a integral part of the LBT sequels?

I personally think that the songs should go. I find them somewhat annoying.

1988 Theatrical Release / You will never believe this.
« on: January 11, 2008, 11:17:31 PM »
It's so blatently bad it's hilarious.

I think it might be a joke (a crude one, but a joke none the less).

But seriously, who brings religion into a children's movie?

1988 Theatrical Release / Littlefoot Getting rid of Sharptooth
« on: January 11, 2008, 11:13:40 PM »
I'm fairly sure it was self-defense.

I can't quite see Littlefoot risking Ducky's death for satisfaction.

Why would a Great Valley "purged" of leafeaters be a heaven for Sharpteeth? There would be nothing to eat for them!

 
I should have clarified that the sharpteeth kept the plant eaters only as food not as fellow inhabitants.

Quote
I really don't see dinosaurs thinking in such extremely human terms as payment, vendetta, purge etc

I can see the these particular dinosaurs thinking in such human terms. The scene in LBT II where Ozzie takes Littlefoot and threatens to throw him off a cliff seems to be driven by solely by revenge.

General Land Before Time / Most hated/liked LBT character
« on: January 11, 2008, 08:35:17 PM »
I'm really curious to see what characters in the LBT universe do you all particularly hate/like.

I REALLY like The Sharptooth (Original LBT). He was possibly one of the coolest and most hardcore of the villians in the LBT universe. Add to the fact that he seems to be almost invulnerable and he just gets even cooler.

I don't really like Sierra (LBT 9). He just strikes me as a sadistic creep and he doesn't even serve any comic relief (Ozzy and Strut come to mind).

Styrax??? That's the name of my character from "Old Threehorns". :huh:

As for mercenaries, what would they be paid with anyway? What would dinosaurs want to obtain that they can't pluck themselves?
I did consider the "pay" aspect. If Excidium is the mercenary then I guess that his pay could be the dead Great Valley dinosaurs (food). If Styrax is the mercenary then I guess his pay could the green food of the Great Valley. Basically the mercenaries are paid with food.

The fact that your character and mine are both named Styrax is a coincidence. I have not seem him mentioned on this board and I came up with the name before I joined or even knew of this forum's existance.

LBT Fanfiction / Help with a "LBT War Fanfic"
« on: January 11, 2008, 07:47:08 PM »
Mine is limited to characters and locations from the movies (up to 9 only).

There are 2 villians (Styrax, leader of  a "mercenary" group of ceratopians and Excidium <the T-rex vith a vendetta against Littlefoot and a desire to "purge" the Great Valley of plant eaters and leave it as a haven for carnivores>)

I have considered an alternate plot about a ceratopian "army" invading the great valley due to lack of food in their land and Excidium as the leader of sharptooth "mercenaries" who join Styrax for "pay" (the Great Valley dinosaurs).

There is also a supernatural edge to this story.  

If you do not mind, I want to know more about your story so I do not rip off of it.

Quote from: Malte279,Jan 11 2008 on  08:51 AM
I think there may be some cases where LBT dinosaurs might start a fight very remotely comparable to human warfare, but I expect that only dire shortage of food or the racism displayed in several movies in combination with a crafty demagogue could do the trick.
Thanks for the idea!! Bear in mind this is a VERY rudimentary outline (if even that).

Also, I noticed that crude traps were used in several LBT movies. Mostly of the trip-vine or deadfall type, though.

Also, I have played around with the idea of Excidium as a genocidal/speciest T-rex who wants the the Great Valley for himself and other carnivores and keep the plant-eaters only as a food source. (Hmm, I like this idea.)

LBT Fanfiction / LBT crossing overs, yes or no?
« on: January 11, 2008, 05:43:07 PM »
Also, an LBT fanfic that is too violent is questionable but one that is action loaded and suspensful and akin to a thriller is A-OK (even if it would NEVER make it into an LBT film).

Sexual/character bashing fanfics are a complete no-no for me.

LBT Fanfiction / LBT crossing overs, yes or no?
« on: January 11, 2008, 05:37:51 PM »
This is supposed to be a poll on the opinions of LBT fanfic crossovers.

I'm personally not a fan of crossovers, but I won't condemn anyone that likes them. However, I'm not really an LBT purist, so anything that seems a little off key for an LBT story (The 2 LBT fanfics of A Traitor in Our Midst and War of the Worlds spring to mind) will not bother me.

ETA: Uhh, how do you add a poll?
