The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

So Zootopia was good.

Since this got many replies, I'll reply too.
After seeing the trailers and previews about Zootopia, I went to see it at the
Edwards Grand Palace theater here in Houston. Snacking on some nachos while the film rolled, I liked how it touched upon prejudice and discrimination, in a way that both kids and adults can understand, and in a creative way using anthropomorphic animals. As other users have said here, we needed a lesson like this to remind us in these times.

The scenes where the predator animals were going "savage" chilled me, since I kept wondering what caused it, and to me it represented how mental illness can be misunderstood, adding to the message of prejudice and stereotyping. I was happy for both Nick and Judy when everything turned out well for them at the end; two different species working things out and earning their happy ending :).

It's been awhile since I've seen the movie but I thought Nick's backstory was the best part. The whole movie talks about prey being mistreated then they slap you with the fact that predators can also experience mistreatment and prejudice by the same group you sympathize with up to that point.

Yep. I also loved how it basically says" prejudice goes both ways." A message I'm in particular glad to see in the film given the prevalence of that "Its not possible to be racist against whites" nonsense that's been floating around. Yes, it is.

I've never seen it. I haven't seen any new Disney movies since Frozen. I have no idea what they've done.
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, such as the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and #1 by far - the original Sharptooth.

From 2017-2019, I was an administrator for the LBT wiki.
