First of all, I think this topic should belong in the Silver Screen subforum.You're probably right. Hopefully an admim will movie this topic there
Anyway, I'm assuming this topic is about what other roles various LBT actors and actresses have done that we liked seeing. For me, only two really come to mind.
First is Jim Cummings, who had voiced Sierra in LBT7. He also voiced Ackar in the 2009 movie Bionicle: The Legend Reborn. (As a huge Bionicle fan, of course I really liked watching that movie.) I have to say, he did a good job portraying the role of a warrior who felt that his best days were behind him, and using his experience to help train newcomers.
Interestingly, whenever I hear the voice of Jim Cummings, I immediately picture another role he played: Sarge from the Army Men video game series. If you've never heard of it, those games pretty much involves combat between little plastic army men, and Sarge (fighting for the Green Army) happens to be the character you're always playing as.
The other voice actor I can think of is Jeff Glen Bennet, who voices Petrie. He also voiced characters in Bionicle: The Legend Reborn, but the ones he voiced (Strakk and Vastus) were more like minor characters that we didn't get to see much of (though I did like that Russian/Viking accent he used for Strakk).
Another movie I liked that Jeff Glen Bennet played a role in was the 2010 movie LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Powers, where he voiced Bernie von Beam, the team's engineer. Once again, he's great at portraying nervousness and awkwardness (and even lovestruck in some moments), only this time he also does it with a German accent. A lot of my favorite lines from that movie happen to have been spoken by him.
Thanks!Good review but Miriam Flynn didn't voice Grandma until 5. The late Linda Gary voiced her in 2, 3 and 4
Hey again. Here is my summary for movie II, and movie III right after.
In this movie we witness the birth of Chomper, a character everyone loves. Like, come on, who doesn't like Chomper? Anyways, Ozzy and Strut were pretty memorable, and I love Grandpa and Grandma Longneck's voice. Kenneth Mars and Miriam Flynn did a god job for this movie, and all the rest up to 13. The songs were introduced, some hated it, but I didn't care really. I liked "Peaceful Valley" and "Eggs", but "One of us now" (that's what it's called right?) was a bit less memorable imo.
Yeah, the egg stealers want revenge, and Chomper's parents come right into the valley looking for him, and how did they get in...? Oh, well I guess the kids accidentally destroy the Great Wall and the parents just walked right in, playing one of my favorite short themes. The kids get chased, the adults come to help, and the kids told them what happened. They kinda just didn't care that the gang destroyed the wall, and they head off to close it. Chomper is reunited with his parents and Littlefoot gets caught by Ozzy and Strut. And in the end Chomper's parents drive them into the Mysterious Beyond and Chomper has to leave. Now I may have shed a tear here.
The adults close the wall and the movie ends. I liked it, not as much as the first movie, but I still liked it.
Next, The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving.
Now, I agree, the pacing is slow. Littlefoot and his friends are playing, and we get introduced to three adolescent bullies; Hyp, Nod, and Mudd. They boss them around, and then and earthshake happens. It causes flying rocks to land in the Mysterious Beyond. Littlefoot almost dies when a tree lands on him, but somehow he lives. The next day, the Thundering Falls stop. Everybody starts to wonder, stupidly. A flying rock landed in the Mysterious Beyond, go solve your water problem, but no, they're all scaredy eggs.
Throughout this drought, the bullies strike again multiple times, Cera's dad is an a**hole, and nothing much else happens for the next 30 minutes. Then finally, Littlefoot and his friends find some water hidden around them, and then the bullies show up. They chase them, because they don't want Littlefoot and co. to tell them about the water. They lose them, thanks to a bee. The kids find a cliff overlooking the Mysterious Beyond. Littlefoot finds out what what happened to the water; one of the flying rocks landed near a lake, blocking off the water. On the way back, a thunderstorm brews and a fire starts...
...Littlefoot leads the others to safety, but Cera's dad forces Cera to follow him the wrong way; where the fire will spread faster. Grandpa Longneck saves them, and then the Great Valley residents look at the valley. Around half the valley is burnt to a crisp. They all argue about a plan to get the water back, as Littlefoot told them about the situation. The bullies go to do it themselves, and Littlefoot sing "Kids Like Us" while he gets his friends to follow.
They soon save Hyp from drowning, as he jumped into a tar pit he thought was water. After that, Hyp's father, Grandpa, Topps, Mr. Clubtail, and ?Mudd's father? show up. Hyp's dad yells and scolds him, but them Topps tells him that he should not yell, because that's all he will express to others. Ah, moments. No time for the credits yet - it's not over.
4 fast biters show up! The theme that plays during the fight is HIGHLY nostalgic for me. The adults try to stop them from getting to the kids, with Hyp's dad leading them to safety. 1 fast biter is killed early on, but eventually they get past. They prepare to jump down a hill to attack the children, bullies, and Hyp's dad, but are stopped by the rest of the adults, who continue to fight. The hill, however, collapses, and the adults and the 3 fast biters collapse down the hill.
The fast biters recover first, and they prepare to eat the unconscious adults. Hyp's dad comes to help, and then Hyp, of course, drive the fast biters to him. Before Littlefoot and co, and the bullies, push a boulder and rocks down on the fast biters, the adults are back up. The rocks bury the fast biters, buut they get out. Eventually, the water comes free, and the protagonists and the antagonists are separated on two sides of the water.
In the end, the herds wait for the valley to regrow, and it became known as "The Time of the Great Giving". I liked it, but it was the most boring (for the most part). The fast biter pack boosted my liking of it, but it may be my 2nd least favorite movie (only thing worse is The Wisdom of Friends).
I'm going to watch IV now, and I'll review it tomorrow. Cheers
