Welcome to the Gang of Five! Feel free to join in with discussions and such!

Welcome back!  

What are your hobbies?

Well, I love eating, sleeping, drawing, writing stories, eating, hanging out with friends, surfing the internet, eating, rock climbing (as much torture as it is), and of course, watching LBT and pointing out it's many animation/colour mistakes! 8D

Judging by Bron's limited interaction with Littlefoot's grandparents, we can assume he isn't their son. That and he looks nothing like them, whereas Littlefoot's mother has the same eye colour and some similarities to Grandpa's markings, and she's a little closer in colour, though that may depend on which movie we look at. I think another thing that goes against them being Bron's parents is that he doesn't invite them to join his herd with Littlefoot, and because he calls Grandpa "Papa Longneck" as you said, Loyfe.

I always wondered what their real names are :huh:

Same here, but I suppose that's just something we'll never know officially. I think there are only a few adults with their real names revealed (Topps, Tria and Bron to name a few), but I imagine that like most other dinosaurs in the LBT series, if their real names were ever revealed, it would probably be something that derived from their species name.

True, I guess. I suppose I was a little harsh with the sharpteeth here; one did get pushed off a cliff by Grandma, after all, and it still got up. I think I was just comparing them too much to the first one.  

I get where you're coming from. I just don't see how Cera ramming into the sharptooth in this one made it trip over so easily, but again, I'm thinking about the Allosaurus from 6, which wasn't affected at all by Cera running into it. But, wasn't that one stuck in a tree anyway? XD

Overall, I did enjoy the sharptooth battle, but I thought the sharpteeth here were just portrayed badly. The Sarcosuchus was much better, as I've already said. Since ten, I feel it has gotten worse with sharpteeth, so much that there hasn't been much need for the adults to make them back off, which I don't really like, since I enjoy grown-ups vs. sharpteeth battles.  

I suppose so.

Haha, same here. I probably don't really remember much from 10 years ago!  

Hmm... I did say that this was one of my favourite sequels, but now I'm not so sure. I look into this one a bit more than the others, possibly since it involves a little more of Littlefoot's direct family...
I agree, Dosu, I hated the song "Me and my dad". It seemed unnaturally high pitched for Littlefoot's voice.

I also felt like some parts of the plot seemed a bit rushed. I felt like Bron should've had at least a little bit more interaction with Littlefoots's grandparents. The only times he speaks to Grandpa is when they first see each other and when they agree to let Littlefoot go with him, and he doesn't talk to Grandma at all (trust me to say this. XD). It makes it feel like he just saw them again, and then the next minute he's taking Littlefoot away from them. That was one of the things I didn't like about the film.
Another thing is that I don't think Littlefoot got time to fully explain the situation to his friends when they arrived, as they came rushing in during a sharptooth attack and then there was a solar eclipse and then Littlefoot somehow managed to say that he didn't know whether to leave with his dad or stay with his grandparents, but they didn't show the others meeting Bron or Littlefoot explaining anything that had happened, and it all just seemed to go a bit quickly. The way they reacted to it just seemed like a little bit less then what I expected, too. They seemed to just be able to let him go, even though he had barely explained onscreen what was going on exactly. I expect many people don't want their friends to leave, and especially not young kids. I would've at least expected a few tears to be shed and some reluctance, even for a kid's film.

I also agree with there being no Doc or Ali. It was a little disapointing, but I think the producers wanted it to be centred around Littlefoot and Bron, and having those two around would distract that.

One more issue I have with this film is the Sharptooth battle scene. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed some parts of it, but the Sharpteeth here were just ridiculous! Compared to the first movie, this was just pretty awful. Being tripped over by a young threehorn and longneck, then falling all the way down a hill. Come on... The Sarcosuchus, on the other hand, was much better, I think. That guy actually seemed to be threatening.

The final thing that irked me was Littlefoot's voice. It was okay for the most part, but it always annoyed me when he did that yawn!

I don't want to completely bash it, although I think I've already done that, since there are some good points about the film. I loved Sue, and I was glad to see that she wasn't completely forgotten after the first meeting and got a boyfriend.
Pat was also an interesting character, and I did like him, protecting the other kids and helping them get to Littlefoot.

I might have bashed him already, but in all honestly I thought Bron was pretty good as a character, despite the holes in his story, and I also loved Shorty! I loved how he went from being a bully to Littlefoot, to feeling somewhat rejected by Bron and feeling jealousy towards Littlefoot, and then him and Littlefoot making up and becoming brothers.

The other two songs are pretty good too. I found "Adventuring" pretty catchy, and now I have to sing it at least in my head before I go somewhere on an adventure. "Bestest Friends" was a bit of a tear-jerker moment for me, since it reminds me of my own friends and that in a few years we will all be parting ways.

All in all, it's not a terrible movie, though there are a few things that bother me. There were a fair few mistakes with the colouring and animation, but they don't bother me too much. It has it's bad points and good points, and I probably would've enjoyed it more if it had explained things a bit more, which probably would've made the movie a fair bit longer, but eh. I know that LBT movies are fairly short, and I feel like the whole thing was just crammed in. I really enjoyed this movie as a kid, but now that I've watched it a few times over again, I can clearly see the cons of the film. As I said, it's not terrible, and it certainly isn't the worst of the sequels. All in all, I have mixed feelings about this one.

Pfft sorry about this being so long, but it's just all of my thoughts about it. And I can't believe it's already been 10 years. Time flies, doesn't it?  

Hello, Ben! Welcome to the Gang of Five!
I hope you feel welcome to join in and start threads of your own. As Dosu said, it's nice to see another fellow UK member!

For example, the very instant you put up your work, the flaws you knew we're always there go from seemingly minor to glaring. It makes you hold yourself to a higher standard, which also opens yourself up to more disappointment if you show your progress and realise that you weren't as capable as you thought you were.

I know the feeling. I sometimes hate posting things such as drawings because sometimes I think I've forgotten something. Then most of the time I realise what it is after I upload it.  

Yeah, I'm not all that into writing, and me being ill for the past few days hasn't done much to motivate me either. I guess I'll either be happier or more frustrated when it comes to drawing the whole thing out. Why did I want to do this again? XD

Anyway, as Dosu said, keep it up! I'll be interested to see more of your work!

Welcome to the Gang of Five, Loyfe! You can call me Molly if you want. I'm fairly new myself, and I'm sure you'll really enjoy your time here!  
Chomper's a really cute and interesting character, and I love that he came back in the TV series. It's not everyday a sharptooth is welcomed into the Great Valley to live with the leaf-eaters after all!
