They are one of the reasons the seventh movie is my favorite of the sequels.

It’s certainly weird to have sudden aliens out of nowhere, but I don’t personally mind it, it’s unique and memorable which is all I can really ask for.

I think the randomness of putting aliens in LBT was honestly one of the best things about the Rainbow Faces. As a kid, I was fascinated by stories of supposed alien sightings and wanted to have an encounter myself—spoiler alert, it didn’t happen, haha, but I thought it was the next best thing to see aliens pop up in LBT, a cartoon I was obsessed with that certainly wasn’t known for that kind of twist! My four-year-old self was MIND-BLOWN when the Rainbow Faces left!

It wasn’t egregiously overplayed, really just one scene at the very end, and considering how repetitive some of the movies are, it’s a refreshing change of pace.

Yeah, they got the perfect amount of screen time if you ask me. I think what always made the Rainbow Faces stand out from other alien characters I knew of were the things you didn’t get to know about them. They just randomly showed up, said and did some mysterious things, left the dinosaurs with a lesson, and only revealed themselves when they took off. They really did follow the same template as a lot of the “real-life” alien stories, shrouded in all that mystery…That was what kept the Rainbow Faces interesting!

I always felt like some of the best LBT movies were the ones that weren’t afraid to be kind of gimmicky. It really did help them stick out among the rest.

Probably for the best these guys didn’t reappear in a TV episode though

I’ll confess that when I was little, I had really high hopes that this would happen and was upset when it didn’t. I still kind of wish the Rainbow Faces would’ve been in there, actually. Yeah, it’s definitely possible the show might’ve made a stupid storyline with them, but if that had been the case, I would’ve ultimately disregarded it like I do with all the other TV episodes I don’t like. :p Although one of the things that would’ve annoyed me the most, which also is something I can easily imagine the TV show doing with these characters, would be not bringing back their original voices despite the actors still being alive at the time. I hated when that show did that, even though I knew why it often happened (budget).

Getting the story caught up since there’s been some new activity in the thread… :bestsharptooth

Because if Clubtail found sweet bubbles he’d burst, which caused havoc around the pond. Clubtail decided everyone should have dinner with Chomper. Threehorn, however, was angry as smoking hot mountains. Chomper screamed horrifically in pure bewilderment. Threehorn looked unstable after dinner with Chomper and Ruby when Chomper decided his teeth looked like knives sharper than a sword.

Gordon was reading a file on an ongoing investigation when her robotic assistant chimed in  Commissioner, you have an incoming call from Mr Powers of Wayne-Powers.” Patch him through.” The commmisioner said.” Good afternoon Commissioner. Do forgive me for contacting you from your public line, but I understand that your officers arrested my son this morning. On what grounds, precisely, do you order his arrest?” Stolen property Mr Powers. We have recovered 73 items from his residence that were reported stolen from the museum last night. Those items belong to the wizard Stripetail who loaned them to the museum as an act of philanthropy. He is keen on their return.” “ My son is not a thief Commissioner.” Then why were those items in his house Mr Powers? In my experience in Gotham, Mr Powers, there is no such thing as  happenstance or coincidence. “ I will fight against the charges Commissioner. And  fighting my lawyers will be.. expensive.” You won’t be fighting a small business or the police department, but the wizard . He’s richer than you are, Mr Powers. 50 million, 100 million, whatever the cost, it won’t  phase him.”

Stripetail finished reading the letter., then contacted Tarrax” Tarrax, find Captain Carson and bring her to my classroom. We have some important issues to discuss.” The insurgents, Master?” Tarrax replied.” Yes, they made some of our group an offer. We are in a bind old friend. Chong is out there planning havoc- or worse- and Fudge is more interested in suppressing magicfolk who want to be open about their abilities with nonmagics. And he would not hesitate to go after us if we openly side against him.” I will fetch the captain.  She should  be up there in around 20 minutes or so.” Thank you Tarrax. “ stripetail said and the communicator went dark. It was encrypted so that their conversations couldn’t be snopped on, and the castle was enchanted to prevent outside monitoring
