Yep, I agree with you in most points Dosu
ehm.. If I'm not mistaken you forgot this old longneck( I don't remember the name of him
) who travels with Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike. Sarcosuchus is the crocodil that Sue tread on I guess?
I'm too very disappointed that especially Ali doesn't appears in the movie
I would be very happy, if someone writes a ff about that( ideas,which I have about that: The story may be told from Shorty's view( so we may know more about his past, what you've already mentioned
) or from the view of Littlefoot, Ali, AND Shorty and they finally meet at this place and ALI will be there too! The 3 lockneck and the gang travel back to the Great Valley together. Shorty and Littlefoot may both fell in love in Ali( in a childish way
) and so they have a lot of arguments and fights, but Ali likes both the same. The other members of the gang may find new friends, too .... just a few ideas
)
You made me very interested into this topic, Dosu
Thanks
