General Land Before Time / Why are pterosaurs allied with herbivores in LBT?
« on: July 31, 2007, 10:20:32 PM »
Pterosaurs ("flyers") were for the most part carnivorous, so one would think that they would form their loyalties with the sharpteeth instead of the leaf-eaters. Why would flyers make friends with leaf-eaters instead?

History Section / Art of Adolf Hitler

Looking at all these makes me feel very sad for some reason...there's a very tragic quality to them.

















(^ That's supposed to be Mary with Jesus---they look too European in my opinion, but otherwise very beautiful)

I heard that Hitler didn't have much confidence in his abilities---I wonder if that traumatized him and made him into the character we know him as today...

General Land Before Time / References to Jurassic Park in LBT
« on: June 03, 2007, 02:58:28 AM »
Universal Studios, the company responsible for LBT, is also famous for another dinosaur franchise, Jurassic Park. Not surprisingly, there are consequently a few winks to JP in LBT. These are the examples I can name:

1) Raptors in LBT3
2) Spinosaurus in the Flyers sequel
3) Someone in one episode of the series shouts something like "Redclaw can't see you if you don't move!"
4) Use of JP sound effects in the series

Can anyone else name more examples?

The movies used are Jurassic Park, The Lost World, and The Land Before Time. The song is "Tourniquet" by Evanescence. Enjoy!

Land Before Time TV Series (2007) / So the show's now out
« on: February 01, 2007, 06:10:24 AM »
Boy, was I stunned to see the show come out so freaking soon! And Chomper's a regular (how did they explain him getting off the island)!

I have one question: will Chomper's parents appear in this series? They were probably my favorite characters of all the movies. I'd hate to see Chomper isolated from his loving family.

BTW, I like the theme song. What is it, some kind of African-American chorus?

General Land Before Time / Sharptooth language
« on: June 21, 2006, 12:07:55 PM »
Throughout the LBT series, sharpteeth do not speak the humanoid language spoken by most of the other dinosaurs; instead, they roar, growl, and snarl just like wild animals. At first, this may look like an indication of low intelligence. However, in LBT 5, they actually provide subtitles for the sharpteeth, suggesting that their roaring represents a sophisticated language in its own right. At least just as curiously, Chomper also demonstrates an ability to talk in leaf-eater/pterosaur language, and fluently too.

Why don't the sharpteeth speak in the same language as the other dinosaurs as often? They obviously have the mental capacity to communicate in such language. Furthermore, where did Chomper pick up leaf-eater talk, anyway? He was still a newborn in LBT 2, so he couldn't have understood the gang's talking and pick it up.

General Land Before Time / Is the Great Valley Doomed?
« on: February 12, 2006, 09:10:06 AM »
Presumably, the Great Valley is an Edenic paradise with plenty of vegetation and no carnivores, which is why the herbivores in the LBT franchise have migrated towards it. I don't think the Valley will last, though.

Predators are an essential part of an ecosystem. By killing herbivores for food, they keep herbivore populations in check, so that the plant-eaters don't devour all of the vegetation. Remove the carnivores, and then the vegetarians cleanse their habitat of foliage, and then starvation ensues. Since the Great Valley has no predator population to eat the plant-eating dinosaurs, I think it's reasonable to assume that the Great Valley has a barren, deforested destination not too far in the future.

Actually, this possible scenario would make an interesting LBT sequel. Perhaps the dinosaurs, after eating up everything, will need to migrate out of the Valley and find another place to live, having to brave the dangers of the wilderness along the way. This idea has a lot of potential in my opinion.

The Welcome Center / Hi, I'm trexmaster
« on: April 19, 2005, 09:37:55 AM »
I come to these forums as a fan of dinosaurs and animals, not as an obsessive LBT fan (though the first movie was neat IMHO). I also like Jurassic Park, the Lion King (especially Ed, arguably the greatest Disney secondary character in history), and Star Wars.
