Why Did They Include Sara in the First Season?

It feels like that was Chris Wall's input from what I've seen from his work in VeggieTales... usually not big on his changes because usually it makes it more for children than a family. I don't know how much of the changes Andrew was for because definitely it feels like they have a different set of fingerprints on it than the books and I'm a new reader!

Sara being the reason they went to Anklejelly makes the story much more interesting in my opinion. It might seem a bit strange if they went there and risked their lives for no reason, and almost died to the horned hounds only because of curiousity. The hope to get Sara back gives Janner motivation, which can make the story better I think.

I think it helps us understand the gravity of being taken by the black carriage. When Tom was taken, we felt sorry for him, but when Sara was taken, it hurt. It was personal.

Also, Sara might have been featured more in book one if Andrew Peterson had thought of it. He only put her in as a filler name. It wan't until book two that he actually realized she was a character!

*me hating all types of confilct*

So shall we talk about Veggietales? Or that Wingfeather is hosting a halloween costume contest? Or maybe the fact that if the director was correct the season 2 trailer should be comming soon?

I have my suspicions, but I'm not sure if I should voice my opinion about it.

I mean, they could have just had it where she was visiting from Torrborro and it might make more sense. But they decided to make her live in Glipwood.

I have no clue... Lol.

I'm honestly kinda dissapointed in the show. The plotting wasn't as good, the pacing was pretty bad, and all the characters seemed to be changed around so they weren't the same.

The plot was far less interesting, and it just kinda jumped around for the first 3 episodes, seemingly having no point. And then the last 3 were a little better, but still not as good as the books.

What's even sadder is that I really used to like Sara as a character, but now I can't stand her. She's really annoying to me... 😭😭😭

CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

1. To get to know her better

2. to make us cry in the next season because we're attached to her now

3. because she helps the story go faster

4. It makes her "friendship" with you know who more believable

5. she's a wonderful charater who needs more time in the spotlight

6. to show that Gnag is literally trying to ruin the jewels lives

7. To show that Gnag is a crule person with no heart

8. to give a new perspective for people who have and haven't read the books

9. To give the jewels a motive to find Ankle jelly instead of just randomly finding it

10. The future.................................................................................................................................

I arrest my case.

I’m not quite sure. Maybe they just wanted to put crushes in it for some reason or maybe they wanted to introduce her so people are wonder who the heck is that when they see her in the fork factory. Although if that is the reason they really overdid it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Them going out of curiosity makes more sense. Them going to look for the freedom fighters doesn't make sense for the plot. It seemed to be a poor excuse.
