Leaving aside the likelihood or unlikeliness of Ozzy's and Strut's escape, what do you think of them just on the basis of their characters. Do you think that they could make a meaningful reappearance in a land before time story?
Hey Malte, have you seen LBT 12 yet? If so, what's your opinion on Guido?
I did watch LBT 12 and posted a long review in the respective thread. On Guido I wrote:
Guido is a character rather different from those we’ve seen so far. He does follow the “tradition” of keeping many new character mysterious (as in case of Doc and the rainbowfaces). We never learn about how he really got to the Great Valley. It is very likely that he was sleepwalking / -flying and ended up in the Great Valley, but why didn’t he remember anything at all? And what about his family? Wouldn’t they look for him? Or did perhaps their fate (assuming that they were killed by predators or the like) cause a shock and Guido’s apparent amnesia? The voice of Guido was a little difficult to get used to as far as I’m concerned. His way of talking was interesting though. Did you realize he told all of Petrie’s siblings in a most uncontroversial manner that they were buttheads?
Guido was certainly more interesting than the other new character which LBT 12 provided, Tricia.
One other point of interest about Guido is, that he is the definite proof that creatures who eat other creatures are not generally "prohibited" in the Great Valley. In one scene we saw Guido eat a worm and while I think there were some disgusted looks nobody "intervened" on behalf of the worm.
I don't have any real objections against a return of Guido, but it would be good to have him return in a movie better than LBT 12 (an LBT movie which wasn't exactly bad, but didn't reach what I would like to call "LBT standarts" either). Do you have any concrete thoughts for a return of Guido? Which role he could play etc.?
As much as I hate Ozzy and dislike Strut, (I don't hate Strut, but I don't like him either. Let's just say he pushed it with his request of what to do to Littlefoot.) I would like them to return.
To be fully honest, I do hate Ozzy, but he's a guy I enjoy hating. There's reasons I hate him enough to want to see him die, yes, but he's quite a good villian.
Strut I feel can be just as evil, maybe even more, when he wants to be, but he has a kinder side. It is one I think could be used nicely in a reappearance of him and his brother.
So, as long as they play the villian, I'd welcome a return.

As for Guido, well, I must admit that I welcomed him more than Tricia. There was something different about Guido that I couldn't put my finger on. Not even at this point can I figure out what my true opinion is on this guy. I do find him quite silly, which did make LBT 12 even more welcome.
The only real thing I want out of Guido at this moment, is to NOT have him and Petrie do a duet together. They were just horrible together, even though I do have alot of respect for them making a mockery out of what is arguibly the worst LBT TV Series song around.

So, I just really don't have a full opinion on Guido, yet. Sorry.
