For one thing, II lost some of my satisfaction with the unresolved issue of the tension between those brothers. (I was so displeased that I wrote a fan fiction about a resolution that takes place afterwards.) So two characters, Ozzie and Strut, are brought in who have family issues. Strut tries to change for his brother (not a good thing, as if someone can’t accept you for who you are, it’s an issue of acceptance from the other, not your own problem) and we never get to see if they reach some sort of mutual feeling towards each other. Basically, I felt that II didn’t “end.” So I would change it into something like, Strut being responsible for how they survive Chomperës parents, and so Ozzie’s disposition softens somewhat, though he tries to hide it, then they go off together, find another nest, and Ozzie offers him the first bite while acting like he doesn’t want to at all.
About IV, considering all the romantic fan fictions between Littlefoot and Ali, I think a slight love interest hint would have been nice to substantiate them, as some people object to their love relationship, and an in-movie foreshadowing would make such stories more accepted.
In VI, I think explaining Doc, such as if he’s related to the first or something, would have been appreciated.
In regards to movie VII, not exactly a change, but I wish a
later movie or episode that explained the rainbowfaces would have really been appreciated, as so many people really want to know about them, but I think the mysterious ending of that movie was brilliant.
In general, explaining what happened to missing family members would eliminate a great deal of speculation.
In X, I just wish they had made that dramatic scene believable. The longnecks stretch up their heads during the eclipse, the eclipse ends, and they believe they saved the world. I don’t get it. Why did they think tensing their muscles had anything to do with the sun coming back into view :huh:? Either change what they did or explain why they felt how they did would have really made that movie more believable.
The eleventh movie had a lot of complaints from parents about the dad song, feeling it was derogatory. Secondly, I think noble Littlefoot was not the best choice to be the liar, and furthermore, if it was Cera, I think the reaction at the end would have been greater, being as she’s the daughter of the one who is trying to fix everything. That might have even put him in his place, knowing that he was working to solve a problem his own daughter caused. This would cause several changes, I know, but I still think it was kind of rough attributing such a negative quality to someone so admired. Sure, stronger connections to characters when they fall has a bigger impact, but people did lose some respect for him after that.
Movie number twelve- two issues: Don’t give two mysteries you never explain! One, I can understand, but two? First, Ducky says it’s bad to wake someone sleepwalking, but she nor anyone else ever says why, so I’ve always wondered what would be so horrible about it. Secondly, where was Guido before coming to the Great Valley, and why on earth had he no memory? Does this mean he had amnesia or something? Ah, come on, movie, tell me! Heh heh heh, oh well. I just feel some explanations would have helped this movie.
As for the Wisdom of Friends, I feel that the logical and illogical aspects of the yellowbellies were too unbalanced. They were like two points logical and eight points illogical, too extreme for an entire herd, if you ask me.
For the sake of length, I’ll stop here.
