On the VHS cover of the Land Before Time 4: Journey Through the Mists, Ikky and Dil can be seen in the background, and Ikky was holding a little pair of binoculars! Was this a deliberate toungue-in-cheek joke, or did the producers really miss something like that?

I'd paste a picture, but I don't know how to do that. Here's a link: Amazon.com-Land Before Time 4 Click on "See larger Image." It's still kinda small, but the binocs are visible.

I think I understand now. So does that mean that there aren't any Moderators or Ultimate Land Before Time fans right now?

Yeah, I've always wondered why.

I was (and still am) 20.

Serris, when you said LBT9 I got my numbers mixed up and thought you meant The Great Longneck Migration, and at that point I totally agreed with you.

Then Malte pointed out your mistake, and now I have to abstain, since I haven't seen that movie yet. The Youtube version of Noone Has To Be Alone is pretty good.

I can't say I've ever heard any voice actors whose singing I considered "Bad." Some songs I didn't like, but it wasn't because of the singing, it was just the topic or the execution of the song (Like "The Mad Song" or every song from LBT13).

My favorite part of any song is  in "Bad Luck" (LBT7) when Cera sings "When a Sharptooth finds you All alone" and audibly quavers the 'all.' I can't imagine how the voice actress was able to imply shock like that.

I've never seen a moderator before. Can someone name a moderator so I can see what the symbol looks like?

Actually, to be honest I don't think I've seen an Ultimate LBT Fan either.

I wonder, if like  Bron, Littlefoot may choose a different name at some point.

Probably not during the time period the movies and tv series are set in. IF for no reason other than that fans wouldn't like it if the main character changes his name to "Bronty" or something.  

From what I've heard so far, the story is about a baby apatosaurus who gets his home destroyed. He then assumedly heads out to find a new one.

There doesn't seem to be any characters except him and his short-lived father. Why are there 4 other characters on the front cover?

Ducky has always been called gullible. It's been one of the usual words to describe her since I can remember, and I've always agreed with it. Yet, just now I've been thinking about that, and I cant think of many times when she's been portryed as guillible.

Several times, the whole gang has been tricked or assumed something incorrectly (Cera, not Littlefoot would lead thm to the Great valley, Chomper's egg was Ducky's sister, Doc was the Lone Dinosaur) but I can't find an example of when Ducky alone was tricked into beleving something.

Actually, when Littlefoot mentions seeing a Stone of Cold Fire, and asks his friend if they believe him, Ducky is the first to remind him that stones can be cold or on fire, but not both.

There are examples of apparent guillibility added for humor's sake (For example, "It doesn't look like a tree." "It doesn't smell like a tree." "It doesn't feel like a tree." [[T-rex starts starts standing up and roars]] Ducky:"and it does not sound like a tree, no no no") but the other characters say things like this occasionally, and guillibility usually implies that one is trustworthy, not merely unobservant.

Petrie, on the other hand, openly admits his guillibility ("but me believe anything," LBT7.) He also proves it when he believes everything Pterano says (Ducky, and the other three, didn't seem to believe him at all.)

So, what's everyone's opinion on this? And can anyone find any counter-examples?

Don't forget that all 5 of them were hungry, and had been hiking for days. Since we are all sitting, well-fed and watered (and hopefully not in any immediate danger) in front of our computers, we have the luxury of unlimited foresight and a clear head. When one is in a dangerous situation, one tends to lose the ability to think absolutely clearly. I believe the desicion was much more on-the-spot than we imagine.

When I try to put myself in Littlefoot's case, I think of when I was 15, and got lost in a forest outside my old house. I had dozed off in a large tree, and woke up to find it about twilight. Remembering that dad said never to panic, I calmly slid out of the tree and thought about where to go. I thought: "Due to the Coriolis Effect, my body is tuned to walk counter-clockwise, since I live in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun is setting to my left, and in the morning I can see it from my bedroom window, which faces east. Therefore, east (and home) is to my right, and I should follow any paths that lead clockwise from my current position, since I want to retrace my path."

While it sounds like I had thought this through really well, in reality, I was cold, hungry and wanted to get home. I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, and the logic was proably reall flawed, but I thought, "Screw it, I gotta do something." Also, I didn't have the luxury of double-checking my logic, and making sure I knew I was right: daylight was almost gone, and I needed to use it while I had it.

Also, to follow my unblazed clockwise direction, I strayed off the path and did some risky things I certainly wouldn't have tried during the day, in a safer stuation. However, once I had made my original desicion, I didn't think enough to even consider changing course. Evey move I made was calculated to shave as much time off of my journey as possible, regardless of the consquences if I misstep.

I wound up exiting the forest and finding myself downtown, which was petty far away from my house.

Anyway, the point is, Littlefoot and co. couldn't afford to think clearly, and weigh the possible solutions anymore than I could've 5 years ago. They needed to make a desicion and stick with it. Littlefoot conjured in his head a possibillity of a way to eliminate Sharptooth, and once it was fully formed, he implemented it. If the others had had any better ideas, they would've said them, but they obviously didn't. And then they fell into place behind him.

Also, if anyone says that Littlefoot didn't look tired or exhausted, trust me he probably was. One of the marks of a good leader is the ability to hide one's own exhaustion, and put on a brave face for the others in your party. since Littlefoot had shown in the past that he was going and willing to be their leader, he knew he'd have to act the part completely, to keep the others going.
