Pterano

Am I the only one who liked Pterano, Sierra, Rinkus, and the Rainbowfaces even more then the main characters (meaning the group of five)? Pterano's story is well-explained (to the point where I felt sorry for him, and that is a very hard thing to do because normally movies don't inspire any emotional stir within me at all), and he has excellent dialogue and actions. His song - I think it's called "A Very Fantastic Me" - is a great insight into his character...and Rinkus's and Sierra's, for what little lines they had. I could write a character analysis on Pterano if I felt like it - Sierra and Rinkus to a lesser extent, but the Rainbowfaces were my absolute favorite characters in the entire movie mainly because of the fact that we didn't know anything about them at all. Any thoughts?

Pterano was my favorite character in the movie. I probably wouldn't like the movie that much if he wasn't in it. I also felt sorry for him (after hearing his story). I like his voice too, its perfect for the character.

Agreed. His French voice was pretty good as well - especially during his song. I actually can't chose between the three pterosaurs - I like all of them. Maybe Rinkus a little more because he had a totally convincing mask on for about half of the movie, and I liked Sierra because he was badass and stuff.

Oh. My. Gosh.

Yeah, the Rainbow Faces fascinated me when I was a kid (they still do!). It was that whole air of mystery about them, not knowing if they're on your side or not...

And Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra are all pretty cool too. And, for some reason, I thought for the longest time that Rinkus was a girl...

Agreed! At first I thought Rinkus was a female, too, until I heard his voice. I guess the pink threw me off (I can't think of one thing besides Rinkus in the movies that's pink and isn't a girl), and then there's the whole there-must-be-a-girl-in-the-group thing...

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Pterano was a really well-made character, and my favorite in that universe. The Rainbowfaces also is really interesting, with clever dialogue and an...mystic...song.

Pterano is my favorite character o\in fact because of him it was my favorite movie, I loved his singing face, the sidekicks were enterating too.
As for Rainbow faces, I adore aliens, so I enjoyed them, and their ending, that first song of theres was awesome.

Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra have always been my favorite LBT characters, too. IMO they were the most interesting and fun to watch. Not quite sure what it is about those three, I can't put my finger on it, but none of the other characters ever held my interest as much as they did/do. :D I always wished that Pterano would have made another appearance, but he never did... -__-
