Travel / "Adventuring" / Off to Egypt!
« on: April 23, 2022, 04:34:41 PM »
Hey all! Tomorrow I'm off to Egypt for my first holiday in nearly four years. Unfortunately I'm staying too far away from the pyramids but I am staying close to some neat coral reefs and plan on doing a fair bit of snorkelling. Whether I do any other excursions, I don't know yet, but either way I'll try and take lots of pictures! The hotel does have internet but I've heard it's a bit hit-and-miss so whether or not I actually get online is another story. If I don't, see you next Monday!  :rainbowwave

LBT Fanart / Re: SRFG's fanart

Thanks again all. As if it's been two months since I touched this thread. :lol Arting is happening in the background, but I'm just not finishing anything.  :p

So for this month's prompt of "How it should have happened" I have this... slightly unfinished piece. I mean it's fine, I was going to add more details, but I'm going on holiday tomorrow and won't have time to do anything else with it so here ya go. I attempted something a bit different anyhoo.


So this is LBT 14 but Shorty actually exists. I'm thinking maybe he could have filled in Etta's role. He stayed behind to try and help Bron but failed so he tried to get to the Great Valley to find Littlefoot and got lost in the caves. Littlefoot finds him after getting separated from his friends in the sandstorm and Shorty tells him about what happened at the Fire Mountain. Then everything with the rest of the gang plays out and Shorty leads them to Bron.

Let me remain bitter about the lack of adopted brother. :lol

What is with the quality of that video. It's supposed to be in 1080p but it looks like it's in 360p.

They used a YouTube video downloader to get these clips from other channels.  :taunttroll

But yeah I didn't notice that at first since it was on my phone and I was tired haha. How bizarre. I guess we'll see if this follows with the next clips...

Though this makes the contrast between the grisly original movie and the cheery sequels all the more evident :bestsharptooth Ah well.

Yeah, going from the 14th film clips to first film clips really does go to show just how much the series has changed over 28 years...  :PLoofah

Finally they do it!  But even if they did, the channel still would need to stop with the clickbait titles.

That's just asking too much of them.  :p

Character Showcase / Re: The Land Before Time 2 Showcase - April 2022
« on: April 20, 2022, 04:22:56 PM »
I don't recall being a massive fan of the second film back in the day, but I have to admit it's grown on me. Bringing in a friendly T-Rex was a good move considering how much of an impact he's had in the fandom. The only thing I kinda wish they had put in when Chomper hatched was Littlefoot having some doubt because of a certain other sharptooth that had a big impact on his life... but oh well. XD

Quote
1) This was the first of the sequels and as such it presented the new style which would be universal among the sequel films: musicals with a bit less angst than the original film.  What are your thoughts on this shift in tone?

While I would much rather LBT stuck to the original's tone, I think the second film struck a decent balance. Universal was marketing this towards the younger audience and knew full well of the pre-cut complaints about the original film being too scary for kids, so I can understand why they toned it down a bit. The songs are really hit & miss for me, whether I enjoy them or not really depends on the mood I'm in. Whilst the Great Valley was the ultimate goal in the first film, I like that they didn't stray from the place having dangers such as earthquakes, egg-stealers and the like. There were consequences for the kids screwing up. If the later sequels had kept this, that would have been ideal for me, but it ended up straying too far from what the original was going for.

Quote
2) Which scenes really stood out to you when you first watched the second film?  Upon later viewings did any other scenes rise in prominence?

"I wanna know about babies." I'm sorry but the grandparents' reaction cracks me up every time. Also the fight scene between the adults and the sharpteeth. Y'know, back when they actually posed a threat.  :p

Quote
3) Based upon what we eventually saw in LBT V and in the television series, do you think the gang imprinted on Chomper upon his hatching?

Littlefoot, definitely. Not so sure about the rest of the gang. Littlefoot was there for Chomper's first moments, fed him, etc. He never doubted Chomper's allegiance to him and his friends, and their brotherly relationship is great to see.

Quote
4) The infamous chomping of Cera’s tail from Chomper... do you think that he has been tempted to do that again in the intervening time since the events of the second film?  :taunttroll

Haven't we all?  :cerasus I mean, Cera is Cera lol, I don't think any amount of tail nibbling is going to change her. That and Chomper was a baby at the time and didn't know better, now he'd probably have to answer to Mr Threehorn.

The Chomper on that box-art is so out of place, LOL  :ChomperBurned

LMAO I can't get over how tiny he is here compared to Littlefoot. And the fact the art style is different compared to the other characters is so jarring yikes

Interesting that they're releasing a new DVD now of all times. Makes one wonder...  :thinking

Honestly? Not much (yes I am an uncultured swine).  :rhett_ohsnap I don't think 6teen aired where I live and Total Drama was on a channel I didn't watch so I kinda missed out on both of them. I might check them out someday.
