Crying in LBT

[jansenov]

There's a lot of work put into that list. Either that, or you have excellent memory. Frankly, when it comes to crying in LBT, Bruton, right now you are the most knowledgeable person in the world. Nobody researched the topic in such detail. It's hard for anyone to check the accuracy of your list without going through all the movies again. Be patient.

Thanks. I do actually have a decent memory; most times sort of stuck with me, although I don't think it was all by memory. I mean, I watch the movies a lot so I guess that's sorta cheating.  

Frankly, when it comes to crying in LBT, Bruton, right now you are the most knowledgeable person in the world.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that...most likely I'm the most knowledgabe person on here, though.

Nobody researched the topic in such detail.

I know, I'm interested in odd things.  

It's hard for anyone to check the accuracy of your list without going through all the movies again. Be patient.

Alright, I will. Patience is the

key in so many cases.

So how did I do?

[Petrie85]

I only cried during the first movie that is all.

[jansenov]

Bravo, Bruton! Bravo!

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

Thank you!  

All I need now is for someone to clarify if those crying scenes I  wasn't sure of were crying scenes or not.

[jansenov]

You made just one mistake. Littlefoot didn't cry when Mr.Threehorn yelled at Mr.Thicknose.

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

I just thought as the scene ended and he looked sad that he might be crying, but I guess I was just seeing snow.

But the rest of the ones I wasn't sure of that I put in bold, I'm  right, they were crying?

[jansenov]

Well, yes.

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

For sure? (I know, I'm obsessed)  

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

I would like to see someone else try though. I feel stupid to have done it all on my own.  

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

Well, yes.

"Well, yes"?  :unsure:

Doesn't sound totally positive, so I guess the ones I had in bold are all still "maybes"

But yes, I would like to see someone else try. I don't mean now, but at some point I'd like to see someone else try.

[jansenov]

It's yes! Yes!

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

For sure? Or are you just saying that? Did you look at the ones I had in bold?

[jansenov]

I checked all the bold ones, Bruton.

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

Alright, thanks.    Sorry I overeacted.

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

Bravo, Bruton! Bravo!

Again, thanks, but...for what? Doing something I wanted other people to try?  

Should I feel real stupid about doing it now? :unsure:

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

Because I kinda do.  

[jansenov]

I tried. While I was recently re-watching the films I could not not notice the crying, because it has been mentioned so many times here. Your list is correct. What else do you want? If you think that compiling a list of all crying in LBT is stupid, well, put it this way: You have excellent memory of all events in LBT, which enables you to compile many such lists or recognise any scene. If you want to use that knowledge in a really productive way, write a fanfiction. I'm sure you could write a good "pure" LBT fanfic a la Malte.

[Bruton the Iguanodon]

What else do you want?

I want someone else to write down a list.

You have excellent memory of all events in LBT, which enables you to compile many such lists or recognise any scene

Thanks!

Interesting. Which films were you re-watching?

And hey, I might just take your advice.
