Here are Bump the Onehorn (Monoclonius) and Kenta the Spikeback (Kentrasaurus), characters from my LBT fanfic Follow the Leader (you can see chapter 1 listed here on this thread, but I think it's been bumped to the previous page)

Just a sketch for now, I'll get to ink and color later. It was a lot of fun doing the LBT style, but WEIRD. Like their huge back legs and tiny skiny front legs.  :blink:  And their toes are annoying... I really like how their faces came out, though.    I'm proud of Bump's expression, like nothing ever really bothers him.  B)

LOL!! The evil 'Man'!  B)

Thank you so much, Action! *big hugs!*

Yes, I think JojotheIncredible only wanted them on YouTube because the earlier episodes that action uploaded are gone from Yousendit by now.

I never thought Ali meeting Chomper would be a big plot device. But yeah, I had thought the episode where she came back would focus more on her.

You know, Universal could be doing what other TV related companies have done.  Which is show a certian number of episodes first, then show the multi-part origin later in the series.

There are shows that have done this.  One example is the 1989 cartoon, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.  This show went through over 50 episodes before showing how the Rescue Rangers got together and what their first case was.

Another one was Freakazoid!, where they didn't show how the hero got his powers until the 6th episode.

Even multiple versions of Batman, Superman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have done something like this.

For all we know, Universal could be doing the same with LBT.

Anyways, further research has proven this episode to actually be the first to air on TV.

It seems that the first two eps consisted of the following plots: Ep. 1: Finding Chomper a new cave to live in.  Ep. 2: A tooth related plot. (Maybe toothache?)

This info came from a TV Guide website.  I'll get back to you later with the link.

Interesting! I have a question. For the series you use as examples, such as Chip n' Dale and Freakazoi, were these explanary episodes done as like a flashback? Some character asks how it all began and then the gang remembers? Or is it just randomly an episode that seems out of order, with no explanation as to why we're suddenly taken back so far in the show's timeline? I would be interested in seeing how they fit a 'backstory' episode in.

(Sharptooth would follow them right into the Great Valley; a point which was more directly expressed in the original cut of LBT).

This caught my attention! Is there indeed more than one cut of the original movie? What are the differences, and when were they made? Going from theater to original VHS, or from the original VHS (which I still have, from the 80's, so I want to check!) to the 20th Anniversary DVD which was released recently?

You're looking at this way to seriously, the producers don't care about scientific accuracy, and even if they did, Ali's herd has always welcomed new comers, so there probably isn't much inbred.

LOL. I agree, you're putting WAY too much thought into this. The show creators wouldn't care about any of that, they're just making a kid's show and we all know about the inaccuracies of LBT.

I think you're reading too much into the French thing too. Just because Rhette is a French spelling doesn't mean they're trying to make some slander to French people because of his character! Is Shorty a slander to short people?  :blink:

Chiiiilllllllll out.  B)

On closer listening, one realizes that "Red" is actually named Rhet, which, in the abscene of closed captionaing, could also be spelled Ret, or, the name newly used on wikipedia,
Rhette.

Oooo, he's french!  B)

What about a dumb (here meaning unable to talk) dinosaur? That would be quite interesting.

And... who is Spike again?  


This was an awesome episode! I don't think it was too anticlimatic for an Ali reappearance. Yes now that you mention it, she didn't get too much screentime, but hopefully she will appear in a couple more episodes to flesh out her character a bit.

I really LOVE Red (I guess if we're going by his Wikipedia name...? I don't know why you would call him Red, though, he's not red at all. I thought they were saying Ret). I loved Shorty too. The know-it-all little boy characters always amust me. Hee hee. Like that bully deer in Bambi II, he's so cute!!  

The scenes with Chomper running from the longnecks was quite exhilerating!! When he said "Please don't hurt me" I was all "Awwwwwww!!"

And we get to learn where Chomper and Ruby live! In the 'secret caves'! This implies that they DO hide from the adults of the Great Valley. (Why else would they call it a secret?) Man, when Chomper said it was a 'long story' I soooo wished I had seen eps 1 and 2!!

But...I MUST address one thing that has been getting to me since episode three. Does anyone else notice...that Chomper has...erm....boobs?  :blink:
