Well, Guido DID save the life of his youngest daughter, and we see him being grateful to Guido in the 12th movie.

Maybe Mr. threehorn didn't trust Ruby watching tricia, seeing as she isn't technically a leaf-leafer.



I wouldn't trust Ruby with Tricia even If I wasn't Mr. Threehorn. Ruby is too much of a flamboyant character. I would trust every member of the real gang with her, but not Ruby.

From what they've shown it seems the only ones Threehorn trust with his daughter, other then himself and her mother, are Cera, that we've seen, and Guido, which was only mentioned.

I thought that was mean that Topps makes fun of and told poor Chomper that story.Littlefoot should have known that. He is still a baby after all. :cry

He can be pretty mean at times. Though we've seen Cera pull similar things on folks so that is likely where she learned it from.

You know what's odd? Tria knew about the mud pool, which she describes as "her secret mud pool" in spite of her only being in the valley since after the "cold time" (movie # 8; this is referenced in movie # 11.) Either she was very lucky to find it, or no other dinosaurs paid the mud pool any heed...

I wonder what it would be like after she was done relaxing in it... she would probably sound all "drugged" like Cera and Ruby, and smell like... mud... a funny scene to imagine...

Tops: Well, Tria, how was your time relaxing at the mud pool?

Tria: ("drugged") It was... really good...

Tops: (notices that she is talking funny)... ok... um... Are you sure you're alright?

Tria: (still "drugged") Better than alright... haha...

Tops: (Slightly freaked out by the "drugged" tone) I'm going... this way (walks towards a leafy tree)

At least Tops didn't go to that mud pool; imagine how HE must sound when "drugged"...

Likely a lot like Cera, and like Cera it wouldn't last long. Which makes me wonder if it is just relaxing that does that, or maybe some sort of fumes that effect you, but only if you are there for a while.

Maybe it is the source of the heat which makes them "drugged"; the great valley does have a volcano in it... perhaps that has the effect of heating the mud at the same time it releases unhealthy fumes...

Perhaps it is the equivalent to remaining in a jacuzzi too long :p.

Perhaps... there IS such a thing as enjoying something TOO much...

I'm a historian. I MUST be like that!

I think you are drawing too thin a line between being totally relaxed and enjoying oneself and being drugged. Perhaps many people nowadays (and please don't get me wrong; this is really, really not meant to be a snide whatsoever) have so hard a time to relax that they can't do it without drugs anymore. I think too much is interpreted into that scene by some, same as in case of some other scenes, but this is just my opinion.
Unlike in case of drug-abuse neither Ruby nor anyone else suffered from her enjoying that pool. So let's not begrudge her too much for her joy :lol

You know, I only said it was like a drug, and has more to do with the way the voice actors (technically actresses) read their lines than anything else. Perhaps they were exaggerating for effect...

It does say something about the character of the group of seven, though. Littlefoot, Chomper, and Petrie had no interest in relaxing in the mud, while Spike and Ruby did. Cera was initially reluctant, but ended up enjoying it a lot, and Ducky said that it would be nice but ultimately didn't want to disappoint her friends. Petrie did not like the mud because of what it would do to his wings, Littlefoot seems to active and virtuous to lie around for long, and Chomper is probably too energetic to sit around in mud for a while.

It is worth noting that Ruby, Cera, and Spike went back to the mud pools in a later episode (the one with Hip, Nod, and Mutt), but this was simply a plot device to prevent there from being a nearly unmanageable 10 protagonist characters in an episode.

I never thought they were drugged, just very relaxed. I did like the brief view we got of a different Cera and hope we do again in the future. Used very seldom it can be very funny.

I loved how Cera was sooo relaxed towards the end, and then when they found Chomper she broke out in this uncontrollable anger towards him. That part was funny. :lol

That revealed a lack of good character on Cera's part; she clearly cared for her own pleasure more than the well-being of one of her friends...

That or she was very relaxed and didn't think it would be a serious problem. But got angry quick at what she thought was a trivial thing.

She shouldn't get angry so quickly; she could just go back into the mud in a minute, and return on later days (she does, once; it is mentioned in a later episode...)

Does anyone know what Tops meant when he said to Cera "If you don't go, I'll never hear the end of it when Cera initially refused to go to the mudpools?

Maybe Tria would make him feel bad with her having a fun day sit aside for her and Cere and her friends and Cera not wanting to go. She may have been moping due to a planned day being ruined, or something like that. I've never dated nor been married so can only do a guess based on my knowledge of human behavior.

Maybe Tria would have complained about Cera not even wanting to try it...
