A lot of things seemed different than the short film version of this series, which is nice it isn't an exact repeat. The characters interact a little differently.
I noticed book Janner is more selfish and more rough than his short film doppelganger. Suppose part of this is due to being able to read Janner's mind in the book lol. Anyway, I loved how Podo addresses Janner's concerns and reveals more on his father. Bro, why didn't you guys tell them their own father's name? Niaaaa! At least give him minimal details that don't matter if you want to keep secrety secrets. Tell Janner is favorite color, his favorite food, his favorite hat or something for crying outloud. But no name is really something. Anyways, I'm glad Janner gets to go to the dragon festival and feel responsible. He seemed more excited after this talk for it though the short film just makes him look slightly inconvenienced.
The little elf creature in the bookstore would be me if the fruit obsession were changed to chocolate. Aw yeah, I'll fight some chocolate makers. Look out oompa loompas.
Peet is crazy but I bet he's a genius. A mad genius. Peet uses his hands for feet, yells at objects, challenges said objects to duel and somehow loses (yes I added that last part). I like him. He's crazy.
The fangs of dang are dangerous and dang I hate them. Smack them with many sticks. What racist lizard people.
Moving on, the Bard guy. I like him. Cheeky booger. He's blues clues Steve with his handy dandy whistleharp and his interrupting handyball ways. This dude comes out and just straight "fangs ugly" and the whole hoard is like "oh no he didn't we gotta kill him" then the bard just plays "whistleharp noise" and the lizards have a passive aggressive exchange- oh yeah Leeli somehow goes missing. Wait... LEELI
Leeli just up and POOFS and Tink is like "ya it's cool" then Janner is like taking Tink by the collar and freaking out going "NO SHE COULD DIEEEE" and then Tink becomes tense and freaks out. Enter lizard thug one and two BEING MEANIES and brief fight and cue stranger on roof doing a David and Goliath reenaction. And Nugget is alive.
Thoughts on that kerfuffle:
Well, the most shocking thing wasn't that Leeli went missing or the Bard calling fangs ugly. It was the fact HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL YOUR SON HIS FATHER'S REAL NAME. Forget Peet the crazy man and the elf creature with a fruit obsession, HOW COULD- Anyway, I know there's an obvious secret that's big and I got my theories and I see some foreshadowing. But come on, the NAME is the least you can do.
You’ve just begun to unveil this…
Nia really does need to explain stuff to her kids.
Janner’s so grumpy in the short🤣
Peet is awesome.
Zouzab is obsessed.
Armulyn the Bard is awesome.
And FANGS ARE UGLY!!!
Wow, what did it look like when there were only a very few posts 😦
Right!!! They should have given some facts about him, and his name would have been nice! But I guess it makes sense and adds suspense to the story and moves it along!
