in lbt, there is friendship, how about love?
the characters that would make good couples:
littlefoot = ali
grandpa longneck = grandma longneck
tria = mr. threehorn
dok = dara
lets see wat u think.
yours truly,
chomperhugger. :DD

Please look for the topic before making a new one. We have already discussed couples many times. We don't need yet another one of the same topics. -_-

your on the wrong page, this must be in:
general land before time

Yes. All of the topics this member has posted have so far been in the wrong category. Please take care when it comes to making new topics including making sure that they're unique, specific, and in the right category.

I guess an admin will either move it, merge the 2 threads or do something else appropriate.
Those are some nice couples mentioned above. There are not many seen. We've also, in lbt 10, briefly saw the couple of Bron & Littlefoot's mother, though they got her color wrong, unless Bron either could not remember her color. I'd guess the animators & director were to lazy to put in the dvd of the first movie to see what color Littlefoot's mother is.

that is much easier for such lazy guys,

That may be "justified" by the fact Bron may not have been able to remember everything about her.
Dil and Icthy are the perfect example of a bad couple.

Littlefoot and Ali would make an excellent pairing when they grow up for a number of reasons. First, the two of them seem to fit well, as they compliment each other. Littlefoot seems to be a natural leader, strong (he passed a test of that sort) and confident, while Ali is kind and sensitive. Second, Littlefoot may very well be leader of a herd one day (when Bron dies), and his marriage to Ali could be useful in uniting the two herds, thus making Littlefoot the leader of a very big sauropod herd, possibly the largest ever... One can see Littlefoot being a very protective husband and father due to the fact that he has seen firsthand what happens when a female with a child is left to fight predators by herself; she is too weak to defend herself against them and she dies. Littlefoot would NEVER intentionally leave Ali to be exposed to predator attack, I am sure.
EDIT: As for Bron, well... it is believed that he has NOT found a new wife since Littlefoot's mother died... if he did, it would be like Tria and Tops all over again, and mixing that same plot line again would do little for the series... another thought is the possibility that Bron, as alpha male of his herd, would conceivably find an alpha female and produce an heir... since Littlefoot is not actually part of Bron's herd, there is a chance that Bron might name an heir from one of the herd's members, or else have to produce one if Littlefoot does not one day become leader of the herd...
A second, unlikely, unusual possibility (but quite possibly accurate in nature) is that Bron, as leader and alpha male of his herd might be the only one allowed to mate with the females of his herd, or at least have the "first pick." Of course, this is highly unlikely to be shown in a children's show...
-
There is one problem about Littlefoot becoming a leader of a herd. He doesn't want to leave the Great Valley (and who can blame him?). Would he (who has been settled for most of his live be a great leader to a herd of nomads? And if those nomads would agree to settle down in the Great Valley because their new leader doesn't want to lead them anywhere else, would they still need a leader in the traditional sense of the term? Does Littlefoot (in spite of meeting the requirements) want to be a leader? And are those who don't want to be leaders the best leaders you can get?
I'm afraid these questions would send the thread too far off topic, but they are questions which might make for an interesting thread elsewhere.
-
Yes, that seems to make sense... it would be the best, safest, healthiest thing for Littlefoot and Ali to live, mate, and raise their children in the relative safety of the great valley. I can see littlefoot as a civic leader in a fixed, multi-species valley population rather than a herd leader of a single-species population.
-
Littlefoot may travel with Bron's herd when he's older, but when it comes to choosing a mate and raising kids he'd return to the Great Vallley and likely become one of the leader types like his Grandfather is. That is if he did leave the Great Valley. Likely if he did it may be just for a once or twice thing so he can be with his dad for a while, get to know him better, but he's return to the Great Valley and likely remain there after just leaving once or maybe a few times. Ali may become his mate, or maybe a female longneck in Bron's herd may, who is to say.
-
Dude, you forgot Petrie+Ducky, the one relationship I'd actually like to see come to fruition. That'd actually be a relationship which'd break some cinema standards.
-
Yes, though I would guess if that they would remain very close friends and perhaps find mates of their own species, though would remain closer friends then they are with Littlefoot or Cera, as Littlefoot & Cera are a bit closer with each other then they are with Petrie or Ducky.
-
Makes you wish there was an episode when they all grew up like the rugrats. It would be nice to have another fanfiction based on how they would look and act like adults. Littlefoot might have been leader of a herd but what about chomper?He would too big and dangerous to remain in the valley. He could protect it and the flatteeth in the valley? Or, become a great terror of the mysterious beyond.Maybe they could make deals with each other never to forget each other.
-
One idea I had about Chomper for a possible gang as adult rp that no one was interested in when I posted it long ago and abandoned was either he patrols outside the Great Valley to keep the mean sharpteeth farther away from the main entrances, or maybe he'd join Bron's herd with Littlefoot, since he could help protect that herd and moving around like they do (I assume they are far walkers) he could more easily find food, or fish if he lived near a large enough body of water.

I just had an odd thought... I don't know why, but I had a bit of an odd dream in which Tria was lying on her back... Later, I thought that her lying on her back could be used to tell Tops that she was pregnant with Tricia's egg. My idea was that when she realized that she was pregnant with the egg, she would be very happy, find Tops, tell him that she was happy and that something wonderful had happened, and when he asked what, she said she would show him. Tria would then proceed to lie down and stretch out on the sunny grass and ask Tops to look at her soft, white underbelly. When Tops said that she had a beautiful belly (not realizing the truth quite yet), she would ask him to look a bit lower... and he would see a bulge where the egg was.
Alternatively, if this were to be a slightly funny scene, Tops would be told to look at Tria's belly, and Tops, not knowing what Tria wanted him to find, would comment on her belly and how nice it looked and go on for some time, leading Tria to use one of her hind feet to grab one of his horns (using her toes) and direct his head down towards where the egg would be.
Something like this:
Tria: (Looks very happy) Topsy...
Tops: (Eating some leaves) Tria? (walks over to her)
Tria: (Standing on soft grass in the bright sun)... Hello, Topsy. Something wonderful has happened!
Tops: (Does not suspect that she is pregnant) Really? What is it?
Tria: Let me show you (laughs, then walks over to a part of the grass, lies down on her back, stretches out, and shows Tops her soft, white underbelly), come, look here.
Tops: Look at what, your belly? It's a very beautiful belly. It's so white, and soft and-
Tria: Look a bit lower.
Tops: Lower? (still sees her stomach) Oh yes, that part of your belly is just as beautiful as the upper part and-
Tria: (grabs one of his horns with her toes and pulls his head a bit lower)
Tops: Hey! What was that f- oh... your feet! You want me to look at your feet, and what wonderful feet they are, why, you have the best feet in the entire valley with three beautiful toes and you-
Tria: Look down.
Tops: Oh, your- (notices the bulge created by an egg) ... you have... an egg... in you
Tria (we can see her from above, lying on her stomach, we can see her white belly and the white soles of her feet, her toes having let go of Tops' horn) Uh, huh...
Tops: This is, this is...
Tria: We going to have a hatchling!
Tops: (No words, just a rare smile from this character.)
-
ghahaha! i have to remind this! :lol:
-
"Remind this" What does that mean? "Remember this?"
Anyway, another funny scene would be if Tria wanted to eat unusual foods during her "eggnancy" ...
Tops: You just rest there, Tria. I'll get you whatever food it is that you want...
Tria: Well, okay. I'd like some grass from beyond the sinking sand, some greens from beneath the water, and a treestar from the very highest tree in the valley...
Tops: Why does it matter that the treestar come from the tallest tree?
Tria: I don't know... It makes no difference to me... I think the egg wants it?
Tops: How does the egg know about treestars?
Tria: Beats me...
OR if the situation were changed from the first time...
Tria: (she sounds like she is in pain) Topsy...
Tops: (thinking it's about the egg) What is it?
Tria: (Lies down and stretches out) (moans)
Tops: Oh, the egg. (Concerned) Is it alright?
Tria: This isn't about the -
Tops: Are you okay?!
Tria: Not exactly. Let me tell you what-
Tops: Something's wrong. Oh no, the worst has happened!
Tria: Topsy...
Tops: I should have been there to protect you! How could this have happened! I didn't-
Tria: Topsy!
Tops: ... What?
Tria: Let me explain... I was walking back from the mud pools...
Tops: (nervous), Yes...
Tria: When I came across some thorns and...
Tops (more nervous), Yes, yes...
Tria: And I...
Tops: (Looks like he is on the verge of panic, as he is expecting to hear of the loss of the egg)
Tria: (Shows her foot to Tops, we see a thorn is stuck just beneath her left toe) Stepped on one of the thorns. It really hurts. Could you pull it out for me?
Tops: ("faints" with relief)
Tria: Topsy?
(later, he gets up, pulls the thorn out of her foot, and lets her rest, leading to the first scene.)

yep probably thats one of the things i noticed the firt time i watched the 10th one
i remember telling my mom that littlefoots mother was the wrong colour
-
Oh yes...love!
Here are the pairings i like:
Littlefoot and the Ali of movie 4. Such a sweet pairing.
Cera and Shorty: Why not? They're both both start off kinda mean, are very strong willed, and seem to like each other. I think this would work well. :)
Ducky and Petrie: Oh yeah!
Grandma and Grampa: They still make a great team even after all these years!
Tops and Tria: = pure awesomeness pairing. Great job on eventually accepting it, Cera. I sure do! :) (P.S. this storyline was the only thing that stopped 11 from REALLY going under)
TV series Ali and Rhett: What? U gonna be Rhett's bitch, girl, instead of the Ali we love? Well then you deserve to be Rhett's bitch!! :x
TV series + later films Littlefoot and Ruby: For some reason later on it seemed Littlefoot would go good with Ruby.
Doc and Sue: If they didn't already have a girlfriend and boyfriend, I think that's work good.

That may be "justified" by the fact Bron may not have been able to remember everything about her.
Well, then Bron makes a shitty husband if he can't so much as remember the color of his wife. But I'm sure the color change had nothing to do with Bron's memory. I think it had to do with the fact that it was a blue sky, and also maybe laziness of the directors. As such, Littlefoot's mother suffered almost worst then she did in 1, cause the fact that she was drawn the wrong color in my opinion is disrespecting a dead character.
Who was as pissed as I was about her being BLUE in 10?! Who seriously thinks she should be mentioned more if the series picks up again? (She got THREE mentions in the entire sequel series!!) Who thinks she should get another flashback appearence, this time with the RIGHT color?
And for the record, I'm sure Littlefoot could have remembered her correct color! (F**k you, Bron :anger )
-
I like all pairings that work okay, even if the characters don't show much affection for each other. I don't mind interspecies pairings either. My favorite pairing is LF & Ali, and my favorite interspecies pairing is between my two favorite characters, Ducky & Petrie, although I like Chomper &Ruby as well. Oh, and I like Topps and Tria, is so... HowdoIexplainit!

I have a feeling Littlefoot become the leader of the interacial herd residing in the Great Valley, like his grandpa, who, unlike his so-called "dad", is the ideal parental figure whose role sounds perfect to take on.
-
Here is a list of my favorite couples:
1. Littlefoot and Cera: Not overdone; they may fight; but, that doesn't mean they don't care about each other.
2. Petrie and Ducky: They seem to be really close friends; so, it could develop into love as they get older.
That's about it so far. The pairings I like is in my opinion; we all have different opinions. I don't ship the Littlefoot/Ali pairing personally; but, I have read great stories of them falling in love and having kids.
-
Littlefoot and Ali sure fit together :)
Ducky and Petrie too. I know it couldn't happen naturally because they're very different in species but they'er just so cute together :p

Oh man, I remember when I made that post...yeah, I'm sure the whole color screw up was because of the animators' memories, not because of the characters'.

I would be really surprised if Bron forgot what his own wife looked llike, like wtf??? :blink:

Here are my favorite pairings and my thoughts on them:
Littlefoot x Cera: This is my favorite shipping because I love the complex and dynamic relationship between them. First of all, I love that Littlefoot helped bring out the good side of Cera despite her father's racist influence, and most importantly taught her friendship and kindness that she hadn't really experienced before. Conversely, I think Cera does a great job in getting Littlefoot to think about things with her never-ending ability to question his beliefs and get him to really think about them, often making his beliefs even stronger in the process.
Plus, I like the fact that they naturally complement each other. I think Littlefoot's patient and understanding nature would be a great compliment with Cera's stubborn and prideful one, plus that the two of them have shown really strong loyalty to each other despite their numerous disagreements. I think it would be really interesting to explore their relationship through a mated perspective, and I think their relationship would be very deep and fulfilling for both of them.
The future characterization and development is another reason why I really like this pairing. Littlefoot seems like he'd naturally break down the species divide in terms of marriage, just as he had in friendship. It's in his nature to consider the possibility that no one else has even thought of, and I think this shipping would really display his openness and idealism very well.
Conversely, I think this shipping would be a great step forward in Cera's character development. If Cera was in love with Littlefoot, she'd have a lot of tumultuous inner conflict. She'd have to grapple her emotions with her pride, skeptical attitude, and stubbornness, not to mention that her father was once an avowed specieist and would likely try to fight their marriage. If she ends up being with Littlefoot, I think this would give Cera an opportunity to really advance in her character development journey. Overall, I imagine a Littlefoot x Cera relationship to be filled with twists and turns and inevitable conflict, but their pure hearts and deep loyalty to each other would keep them true lovers till the end.
Ducky x Petrie: This is a pairing to me that just clicks naturally and just feels right. The two of them always seem really close to each other and have plenty of scenes featuring just the two of them. Also, they have a lot of traits in common that really make them mesh well in my opinion: distinctive speech patterns, small stature, naivete, caring, slightly fearful but usually cheerful, not domineering, etc. They seem to relate really well to each other in my opinion, and sometimes I get the feeling they have a mild crush on each other already.
In contrast to Littlefoot and Cera, I would imagine them to have a relationship with less character growth and development, but a more harmonious and amicable relationship with minimal conflict. I imagine that both of them would be really supportive with each other, especially in regards to Ducky's eternal optimism would likely help assuage Petrie's neuroticism. Plus, Petrie some of Petrie's bravest moments have been when Ducky is in trouble, which really show how much he cares for her. This is a pairing that I find really sweet, with lots of chemistry and emotional fulfillment, and I think will surely lead to a happy ending for both of them.
Chomper x Ruby: This is the hardest pair for me to explain why I like, but for some reason I find this one really appealing. I guess it's because Ruby and Chomper are often close together in the series and Ruby acts as Chomper's older-sister figure, and I like the idea of Ruby's older-sister feelings gradually turning into romantic ones as Chomper grows older (in my head-canon, he would unconditionally not hurt any of his friends as he grows up). They're just very cute together for me and I think would be a pair that gets along well.
Ali x Shorty: Here's a pairing that hasn't actually met, but I find them to be an intriguing pair nonetheless. They're both characters who've had to deal with pretty difficult circumstances, and they both seem somewhat jaded (though in very different ways) until they meet Littlefoot. In addition, they both tend to be insecure (again, shown in different ways), and often tried to hide their feelings before coming around with Littlefoot's help.
These two are characters that I couldn't really see getting together at the beginning of their movies, but after their learning curves, I think would work quite nicely. Shorty would become friendlier and Ali would learn to open up, and I could see them getting along well afterwards. They'd have a lot to relate to with their migrating journeys, difficult lives, personal insecurities, and learning important lessons through Littlefoot. Besides, this is a pair that I think is just cute together, and I'd really like to see them interact on any basis in any movie.
Part of the reason why I like all of these pairings as that each pairing is distinctly different from the other ones. Each pairing has certain qualities that I think would put them on very distinctive plot potentials from each other, and I personally think this arrangement of characters would lead to the most interesting romantic storyline without adding any new characters. I explore my take on these, primarily Littlefoot x Cera and Ducky x Petrie, as one of the prominent plots within my fan-fiction (shameless self promoting, haha :lol) and I might consider writing a Chomper x Ruby or particularly an Ali x Shorty relationship fanfic sometime.

Nice post :) How about a love triangle between Littlefoot, Ali and Shorty? :lol

There is one problem about Littlefoot becoming a leader of a herd. He doesn't want to leave the Great Valley (and who can blame him?). Would he (who has been settled for most of his live be a great leader to a herd of nomads? And if those nomads would agree to settle down in the Great Valley because their new leader doesn't want to lead them anywhere else, would they still need a leader in the traditional sense of the term? Does Littlefoot (in spite of meeting the requirements) want to be a leader? And are those who don't want to be leaders the best leaders you can get?
I'm afraid these questions would send the thread too far off topic, but they are questions which might make for an interesting thread elsewhere.
I've always thought he'd be more inclined to leave the Great Valley if his grandparents died, since he has no other family in the Great Valley. Yes, yes, I know he's got his friends too, but I think after his mother's death, he'd think family is worth more than friends, no matter how much he loves them. Again, that's just my personal opinions and I just wanted my input in it.
Anyway, favorite pairings of mine:
-Littlefoot/Ali: It just clicked to me when I watched LBT 4.
-Ali/Shorty: Pretty interesting pairing, actually; I saw it in an LBT fanfiction I enjoyed and it intrigued me.
-Grandpa Longneck/Grandma Longneck: After all those years, they still make a pretty good team.
-Bron/Littlefoot's Mother: Well, without them, we wouldn't have Littlefoot, now would we?
-Petrie/Ducky: AllegroGiocoso describes it perfectly for me.
-Topsy/Tria: I was surprised by this pairing at first in LBT 11 and didn't know what to think of it at the time, but I warmed up to it once we got to LBT 12.
-
I ship Littlefoot with my OC Perla, so sorry to say, but Littlefoot/Ali isn't for me. :PAli
But anywho...beyond the canon couples:
Cera/Shorty: Imagine if Jonesy and Nikki from 6teen were dinosaurs. That's basically what I picture here. Comedic gold in the making :lol And when they're not acting like tsunderes, they can have genuinely sweet moments. :^^spike
Ducky/Petrie: Yeah I'm suckered into this one too :petrieLOL Was a big childhood favorite ship of mine
Chomper/Ruby: My first LBT ship. I always saw them as a couple when I saw the TV series as a kid. I think they match well :ChomperImAwesome
Rhett/Ali: Yes, not a popular one, at least unironically, but honestly, Ali appeared to have some kind of crush on the not-so-heroic Longneck kid and she seemed pretty accepting of Rhett even when his lies were revealed. Provided they aren't related, I think this one has potential. :RhettAli
Spike/Tippy: "Tippy loooooove Spike!" *insert Live Slug Reaction here* When I first saw Big Freeze, I pretty much immediately decided these two would be a cute couple. Discovering Tippy was a boy didn't stop me. Charles Grosvenor said gay rights :spikeblush 🏳🌈
-
I actually ship Littlefoot with Cera. I think it would be a great way to be the final nail in Mr. Threehorn’s bad advice“Threehorns don’t play with Longnecks.” That love forms between the them.
I’ve always thought Ducky and Petrie are meant to be together. That mainly comes from the first film’s climax, when Ducky thinks Petrie has perished. But their pairing is intriguing, one a swimmer and the other a flyer; like fish falling in love with a bird. :)
I think a unique pairing would be Chomper and Ali, in that Ali was with Rhett the Sharptooth Slayer! However, I think Chomper and Ruby is a more natural pairing, Ruby would understand Chomper’s meat needs, she being a omnivore.

I really love talking about romance! So glad I saw this. (though I heard from the first few replys that this thread isn't supposed to be here? :rainbowThinking )
there are a couple of pairings I enjoy, either if they are canon or not...
Ducky&Petrie- They are just so small and they look so cute when they sit together! I've also seen many situations where they are just conversating together and it's just perfect!
Littlefoot&Ruby- Some of you might know already that I have a place in my heart for this pair. I could talk about them ALL day! They have similar personalities, they both think logically, they both take charge (mostly Littlefoot though) And they just look so beatiful together!
Mrs flyer&Pterano- wow wow wow, hold on here. So this isn't a romantic kind of relationship, alright? I just admire them as siblings. Need to watch the movie with Pterano in it...
