General Land Before Time / Top 10 favorite favorite songs
« on: February 21, 2010, 04:39:43 PM »
Heh. Kinda like Rat-Lady's Top 10's in the character section. But songs instead of characters. Favorites...NOW!

For mine, my boyfriend and I have only watched 1, 4, 6-twenty minutes of 12. We'll finish the last two, then get 2, 3, 5 when we find them. So my list is incomplete for now.

10. Very Important Creature- Simply because I LOVE the self-esteem boost. That and it's Michael York's second song in about...31 years XD. (The first one being "The Guru". It made since in that one because he was a pop star. Lol, in his autobiography he called it a "strange little ditty")
9. Beyond the Mysterious Beyond- Intro to aliens, but it is quite a pretty song. My mom actually thinks of this song when it comes to The Land Before Time. Probably because I watched 7 a bazillion times when I was little XD . But you know...you'd think that the female rainbow face-alien would know better than to say "rariest"
8. Remembering- It's short and sweet. Better than other series songs.
7. Grandma's Lullaby- I sang along with this one when I watched 4 with my boyfriend.
6.Always There
5. Best Friends-I have a feeling that my boyfriend and I will have to part ways again in two years. So, I plan on doing a video composition of our times together and sing this song as the music. It's pretty sad for me to think about since we're pretty tight together. I think of it as "our song". We got teary during the actual part of the movie.
4. If We Hold On Together Diana Ross version)- Well...what LBT fan in their right mind wouldn't like this song?!
3. If We Hold On Together (Cast version)- Ha. This was at the end of the original Sing Along Songs video. I love that version.
2. No One Has to Be Alone (Donny Osmond version)- It's great ear candy, but there's something about the movie version that I like better.
1. No One Has to Be Alone (Cast version)- This one has so much more spirit than the other one in my opinion...and the music is much nicer.

Boy, I gotta watch the three I'm missing before I can go and revise my character lists.

General Land Before Time / If the sequels were better
« on: January 20, 2010, 11:56:14 PM »
So, we have a ton of laments about some of the sequels.

Songs, for one thing. I honestly think they could have filled in A LOT more plot if the songs had not been included. And use of characters. I think that Littlefoot is almost ALWAYS experiencing/seeing the plot device in the first seven movies most of the time. The only time I think he really wasn't so huge of a character was in 12. Sure he's the main character, but he really steals the stage a lot. Here I go with using my favorite movie as an example XD !

If I were to re-write seven, I would make Petrie the central character. The whole Stone of Cold Fire phenomenon would bring his relationship with his uncle MUCH more to the test than the original story does.

The intro is pretty much the same. Instead of Littlefoot seeing the Stone of Cold Fire, it's Petrie and Ducky. Um...I guess Ducky and Petrie are staying with Spike while he has his midnight snacking? The story gets out. "You're crazy" happens. Enter the Rainbow Faces (who could seem slightly more alien). Instead of "Beyond the Mysterious Beyond", we would have the Rainbow Faces kinda poke at Mr. Threehorn's skeptical mind. Please include "Why not the Boring Beyond? Or the 'Ooo, There's-Nothing-Out-There-Of-Any-Interest-Of-Us-Beyond'?" They would have a little TALK that takes up less time than the song, and go straight into the Stone of Cold Fire.

Here comes Pterano. He might be a little bit creepier if he tries to get the Stone's location from his nephew and his nephew's friend XD . At the same time, when Rinkus and Sierra come around, he might be much more defensive of the children than originally.  

Cera has her suspicions about Pterano and she gets a little mean to Petrie about it...without really meaning to be extremely mean, she still upsets Petrie a little too much. Petrie has already gone crying to Pterano. He tells him the whole story-from the Stone's location to the terrible things Cera said about him. That night, Ducky overhears Pterano's plan as she tries  to find Petrie, pretty much like in the series. Not everything she hears is about Pterano becoming the leader, but "reversing what he did wrong". Sierra finds her and...takes her away. He then pretty much pressures Pterano into kidnapping her...that's not right DX . It's basically a "You really think we should leave the brat behind and spoil your plan?" thing. Petrie arrives just in time to see the trio taking Ducky away. He chases them and Rinkus gets a bit rougher than smacking Petrie away. Angry Pterano is angry.  

And then we have the same story/flashback as before. Now WE know what Pterano did wrong. Perhaps Cera's mother and siblings could have been in the same group that was attacked, so we could have more extent on why Tops hates him so much. Petrie's mother asks about the Stone's location because he knows too.

As the group decides to go after Pterano, we cut back to the fliers. They take a break to rest and Pterano tries to sneak Ducky back to the Great Valley the safest way for her to get back on her own. It ultimately fails when Sierra thinks she is running away. Somewhat the same as before, but we don't have Pterano trying to bribe her out. "We won't hurt you", indeed :lol .

The gang is reunited, and Petrie has his little breakdown.
Instead of "Good Inside", we cut it down right to:
Ducky: Oh no, he was very sad when the others dropped me, he was, he was.
Petrie: Really?
Ducky: Yes, yes. He said he was responsible for me.
Cera: *Responsible*!?
Ducky: Cera, not everyone is all bad.

And we cut to Pterano being a little mopey about what happened to Ducky. Sierra picks on him a little bit and he gets swatted. The kids are shown trying to climb down the mountain and Sierra snags Ducky. In the end, it is Pterano retaliates against Sierra to let Ducky go. Eventually, Sierra drops Ducky from a high place.
Sierra: Fine. I'll let her go *drop*
RESCUE FEST! *Benny Hill theme*
Petrie tries to save Ducky, but when he saves Ducky, Rinkus swats them both. Pterano gets p*ssed and swats Rinkus and saves Ducky and Petrie. Pterano and Sierra have a little fight and Pterano loses Ducky and Petrie. Petrie nearly drowns and DUCKY saves him *1812 Overture*. Then the rest of the kids do the saving. Rinkus and Sierra chase the kids. Pterano stops Rinkus and Sierra from chasing the kids and does the whole "I am the leader, I give the orders, you follow them."

Instead of "Very Important Creature", we REALLY see into Pterano's non-selfish side as he rats at Sierra for threatening the children.
Pterano: Those "over-grown eggs" just happen to be my nephew and his friends!
He broods on that a little bit, and Rinkus and Sierra plan their betrayal behind his back.

Most everything is the same from here on out. But the Rainbow Face's departure could be a bit more epic and Pterano and Petrie's good-bye could be less...rudely ended.

Another thing that would COMPLETELY change the story is that Petrie chases Pterano and his group after they kidnap Ducky. The rest of the group follow Petrie.  

Some basic ideas of what could have improved vol. 7 . We can expand on this and the other movies.

Boy, will 11 and 13 be fun to imagine an improvement on  :lol

The cousin topic of this

There are lots of cool ideas for episodes out there, so why don't we actually show off our ideas? I'm still working on mine at the moment, but if anyone else wants to show us their episode, feel free.

Don't tell me there's another topic like this XD

LBT Fanfiction / Character themes?
« on: December 06, 2009, 04:25:19 PM »
Well, I'm not sure if this is the place to put this, but pretty much, what would the themes of the LBT characters be...your OCs if you desire

I guess for Ptyra (most predominately), it would be Defying Gravity. I guess the second singer would be one of her suitors, Ron, who ends up becoming her favorite 'second'.

At some point, Ptyra catches up with Pterano's reputation, but becomes a bit more of an "Elphaba" around some edges.

The Fridge / I'm having some Word trouble
« on: September 26, 2009, 02:19:08 AM »
So, for months and months and MONTHS on end, I've been working on a fanfiction for The Animals of Farthing Wood. I'm getting to the 'closing point' where I can start posting it. HOWEVER...

Ever since yesterday and today, this is the message I have been getting (I did manage to get it up SOMETIMES yesterday, but not at all today)

It hasn't done this until recently. Other than that, it came up just fine.

I'm getting very close to finishing this story. I would HATE having to re-start it (even though I sent it to someone for revision), so would someone PLEASE offer me some tokens of help?

* (Best...Disney...sequal...EVER) The Rescuers Down under
* Ever After (The BEST Cinderella Re-make I've EVER seen. It was AWESOME!)
