After These Messages: Lands Before Time with Kenny Gray

Kenny Gray of Mess + Finesse is back to talk all things tangentially related to The Land Before Time.

First we watched Vin Diesel showing off some of Kenny’s childhood fave toys: Street Sharks.

This one led us to talk about Kidz Bop and specifically their version of “Float On” by Modest Mouse.

Next up we watched the trailer for The Land Before Time 14.

This one led Kenny off on a Star Wars tangent. Why? Because these dinos never revisit the wasteland. It makes more sense when he says it. We also talk about deadbeat dino dads, and possibly unlock the secret of why three horns don’t play with long necks???

Finally we watched a series of previews shown before The Land Before Time on a VHS tape in 1996.

Timmy the Tooth is truly horrifying. Somehow Kenny watched every single one of them as a kid, but is still alive? Geoffrey talks about how the director of Mad Max Fury Road also did Babe: Pig in the City, Kenny sings some of the dark and gritty broadway musical he envisions for Land Before Time, and Julia tells the complicated backstory of Lady Clarissa Blacktail and Miss Letitia Geraldine Fluffington, Baker by Appointment to the Crown. We also talk CGI and Kenny recommends this video about how David Fincher uses it.
