Animation Source Forums

Well,it's very informative,and please excuse the fact that I tried to help you with your topic.

Cat you are my hero XD

It's been years since I've seen WoC (I was like, eight and the only things I remembered were Stella and the bush plane) but I've read through the script and looked at every possible screenshot. And there are people who try SO hard and look at every SLIGHTLY possible angle of Kodi/Dusty love and don't find even half as much as you did here.

I didn't know that Ralph was Patrick XD How cool is that?

In my opinion, Dusty and Ralph are gorgeous together. Honestly I think Kodi/Dusty pus would look pretty gross (no offense, there is nothing wrong with Kodi or Dusty but Kodi is red and Dusty is purple-y grey... they don't match!). I don't see why Dusty can't be with Ralph, why people are SO against it.

Mmm bur besides that my internet is going deathly slow and three or four pictures didn't even load TT_TT but even so, it was a great topic.

Notice how we have yet to see anyone argue with this evidence? I'd like to see them try XD

I'd like to see them try too XD lol I can imagen it!

There's nothing wrong with this Topic, Your just complaining that it's a pairing you don't like. I can't say 'sho!' or 'Get out' cuz this is a Public place and thats to noobish for me lol So anyways...

I'm trying ta get a Ralph Plushie in eBay(It's my first time there actually) Well I hope they do have one.....*goes to check* Ralphy is sooo huggable and flufeh 8D I wish I had a Dog thats so fluffy and cute like him XD

Oh yeah and about the Toenail thing, That really HURTS I had that happen to me and it was hell.....It's still growing actually XD

Because it bugs people like you. Now stop causing trouble on my topic. I wasn't trying to cause trouble. I was trying to even out the fandom a little bit. Now if it bugs you, you can leave and then we can all be happy.

Cat is the bestest Posterer ever! ..

but anyway, I think the main reason for the Dusty/Kodi Shipping is to hook-up the secondary lead character with a girl.. and the fact that he's Balto's son and Dusty's the only female canine character in the movie (aside from Dipsy.. How Come nobody's shipping Kodi and Dipsy huh? aside from the age diffrence)....

if anybody's seen the Disney series Gargoyles.. Broadway ( who incidentally is voiced by Bill F.) becomes Angela's (the only younger Female in the Gargoyles' Clan) mate.. but most people think that Brooklyn( who like Kodi is the handsome swashbuckling type and second -in-command next to the main Character Goliath) should be with Angela.. and like with Ralph, they say since Broadway is fat and stupid shouldn't be with Angela...

did we forget films like Shrek and Beauty and the Beast? c'mon.. *sigh*...

almost forgot isn't it also Mr.Simpson's (or whoever owns Kirby) to feed him a good braakfast ? hmm..

But you forget, Shrek and Beast were the "heroes" LOL People are obligated to make sure their lives are perfect.

Very well presented article Cat. I can tell that this was a very well thought out article, something that took you more than 10 minutes. You presented everything very well with evidence straight from the movie (many articles lack this very important aspect on here) which is exactly what you need when you're trying to to prove something.

In response to someone saying why bother making these things, all I can say is it helps the fandom and promotes interest, also it's fun

Jersey --> Thank you! Actually, "deconstruction" a good way to describe it Never thought of it that way. But yeah, Ralph is a very under-rated character. If you think about it, he and Po (if you've seen Kung-Fu Panda) are very much alike, and yet you don't see people hate Po. What's up with that?

You really oughta check out KFP, it's really good considering most kids' movies these days, especially for being 3D xD. It sends a message that Kung Fu Panda/Dusty+Kodi fans don't appear to grasp O_o That the pudge (along with being goofy) is A-Okay! Okay that's not the real message, but it's certainly in the movie xD

At first the character Po is disliked because of his size and that he doesn't take anything seriously. And boy does he make a comeback

So even if that kind of plot isn't really seen in the movie, why can't Ralph be viewed the same, y'know?



Exaaactly. Serious characters are paired with serious characters. Its never the two imperfect people or the single imperfect person who gets any gratification in fandom D8 But its not uncommon to see. I mean in Tail Spin, don't people tend to pair Baloo with Becky? (I don't really know, I'm not in-tune with the fandom. But as a kid watching it mid-series, I always thought the two were already married because the two argued about silly things like MY parents did LOL)

And in Treasure Planet, the most unlikely of couples happened (Dr. Doppler and Captain Amelia)

Rover Dangerfield and Daisy? There was a very "handsome" dog in her life, but no, she went with a dogified version of Rodney Dangerfield

There's alot more. But you also see "perfect" characters /not/ paired with "perfect" characters.

Like Peter Pan and Wendy.

Or for dog fans, Dodger and Rita in Oliver & Co. They never get together and its never implied either.

Or Max and Roxanne in A Goofy Movie. In the second movie they sure as heck weren't together. Max wasn't even paired with the ONLY GIRL (*gasp*) in the movie (I forget her name, but she was cool). Nope. She was paired with PJ. The fat dopey one.

HA!

So yeah. I see no reason why people absolutely HAVE to pair Dusty with Kodi. Like the pairing, sure. Like it enough to have some theories on what happened AFTER Wings of Change, sure. But to absolutely despise the Ralph and Dusty pairing because Kodi's perfect and Ralph is fat and stupid? C'mon

hehe, It's like I said before.. people wan't KodiXDusty because she's canon and the only "compatible" female in the movie ..

I kinda wonder why there's no KirbyXDusty going on LOL..

or heck, those Balto Clones at the way back of the sled could've gone for her:p..

hehe, about Baloo and Becky.. I remember some people who seen a few episodes or maybe just wondering why the heck they aren't married.. they sure act like it ..

maybe it's the same reason why Max doesn't seem or to have a mom or Donald's Nephews don't have parents..:p


well, in Treasure Island the Captain was a guy.. but that's political correctness for ya ..


are you talking about Raffles?.. there's also Max,Duke, and Lem and Clem.. always wanted a Raffles toy back in the day.. hmm

heh, for all we know .. Rita could've gone with Einstein or Francis.. LOL..

hehe, you know why Peter never has any girls? outside of growing up.. Tinkerbell would have their hearts on a silver platter XD
