#tabaluga 2018

[the-indie-owl]

I've recently been started to join in on some new fandoms but I just wanna point out a few similarities that I have been blatantly noticing a few similarities between these Two Movies.

"The Sea Prince and The Fire Child" (also known as "The Legend of Sirius") and "Tabaluga" (also known as "Ice Princess Lilly").

Why am I thinking that they are quite similar if you may ask despite many of their own differences to each of their own story? Well, here are some similarities that I wanted to point between these Two Movies.

Basically, Two Stories that share the Same "Star-Crossed" Lovers dynamic between Fire and H2O.

Which are based off of Actual Old Stories.

Male Protagonist is associated with a Certain Element who has a Loyal, Brave, and Fun Personality who has a Small Sidekick for a Friend.

Love Interest is also associated with Another Element (Has a Kind, Sweet, yet Gentle Personality).

Who's also got a Friend on the Same Elemental Race as Her.

Story also has some Backstory Lore that the Two Races were once One but for some reason that their love turned to hate against each other due to an Evil Being of Jealously.

Both Movies tend to develop a Romantic Story between Two Different Races of Elements between Fire and Hydrogen (Water/Ice).

Then at the End of their Story, both Lovers end up joining together beneath their own Lands where the Two Lands with their own Said Element become One again in Peace.

Now obviously, these Two Movies may strike a similar detail when it comes to Two Elements falling in love, but they're still not alike because the context of their own Storyline is completely different.

One that the ending in "The Sea Prince and The Fire Child" ends with Sirius and Malta dying together as they become the Stars while Tabaluga and Lilli in "Tabaluga" have their own Happy Ending where their Two Lands are in Terms together again (thus, no commits between suicide).

I'm not really too sure if "The Sea Prince and The Fire Child" was an inspiration to one of Peter Maffay's works in his "Tabaluga" series.

But I just couldn't help but notice some brief similarities between these Two Love stories that take up Two Different Elements between the Heat and the Cold into a Romeo and Juliet inspired story.

And also...

Both Movies also have a Wise Turtle Character.

Bet you didn't see Another Coincidence.

just watched the 2018 tabaluga movie and saw james...

[marine-indie-gal]

Been awhile since I haven't drawn any Tabaluga lately, not since that I've finally got a chance to watch the Kristin Fairlie version online since I first found the Mackenzie Ziegler version from it's Alternate Stupid Title, "Ice Princess Lilly" only to fool a lot of people into thinking it was a Frozen knock-off from a Regular Old Dollar Store. Though it's still not a big surprise from Me for the US to give out some CGI Movie Adaptations of Kids Shows from an Old Decade under their own Cheap Titles like "Here Comes The Grump" to "A Wizard's Tale" and even "The Magic Roundabout" to "Doogal" (seriously, the last one sucked ass. Even though I haven't had a chance to watch the British version, I heard a lot of good things about the OG version of that Other Adaptation much better than how Weinstein butchered it with their own Pop Culture references).

So I had a small talk with my Friend, @djinarocks of how we loved Tabaluga and how that Arktos is one of our Favorite Villains of Musical Theatres (compare to Von Rothbart from "Swan Lake" and even The Mouse King from "The Nutcracker") after I introduced her to this German Franchise.

While that both Me and My Friend love Obscure Media a whole lot, we both ship Tabaluga/Lilli together as a Romeo and Juliet like pairing (since these Two Elemental Kids did reminded Me a lot of that Other Elemental Romeo and Juliet Movie made by Sanrio (not to be confused with the Pixar one that is)). During in one of our conversations, we talked about on how we wondered if Lilli didn't leave Iceland and started her own New Life up in Space if Arktos did raised her and treated her as his own Actual Heir (something as if his own Mother would've liked to have Grandchildren if the Son were to pass the Whole "Dictator" thing to his own Children like a Family Thing).

If you're one of the Fans who both love the Musical and the Show other than the Movie, you'd probably would know that Arktos created Her, only to lure Tabaluga in for exchange of his Fire (in which the 2018 Adaptation did by its own self, but without the Whole "Give Your Own Fire to Me" thing and replace it into having "One Last Hero to be Killed" scenario that made Arktos into a much more Sinister Creepy Dragon Genocidal Monster as an Akin Contrast to the OG Arktos). But since Me and My Friend had this "Thought" if Lilli didn't leave Iceland, what if Arktos had a different way with her? Something like raising a Heir and make them a Future Dictator for your own Country. If anything, that could've had make Lilli give her so much more character other than just a "Love Interest" (akin to the Movie's Lilli as well).

Basically, Arktos creates Lilli through Sculpture (but it goes different than the last one than in the show through a twist), instead of creating a Trap for Dragon Bait, he actually creates Lilli as a single heir of his own so that way she'd beat Tabaluga to rule all over the lands one day. After trying to wind her up with a Wind-Up Key, Arktos thought of a better solution by breathing her into Life to make her Real. He names his own Daughter, "Lilli" because after researching through a Book about Humans, he mispronounced the name "Lilith" (The First Wife of Adam) into "Lilli" and mistaken Her as Eve (Adam's True Wife) (because that's clearly how he created her according to some of the Musical's lore from what I can remember). Although while Tabaluga was deeply in love with Arktos' Humanoid Daughter, Arktos forbid their own love and didn't want to be a Father-In-Law to his own Arch-Nemesis (whose the Son of his First Enemy).

Teaching his own Child everything about Iceland Life, Lilli was somehow fascinated by the World of Greenland and wanted to explore around Other Countries instead invading to in which, She and Her Father have a Huge Conflict about. Unlike the Movie's Lilli, this AU Lilli has more personality than the one in the show of her single appearance; She is more Meek and Shy with a Quiet Personality but is still Curious about the Entire World that she demands to ask a Whole Lot of Questions (even if her Father dares to answer one of them). Despite their own disagreements, Arktos loved his own Daughter deeply similar to how his own Mother passed on her Son's Spoiled Love to Another (even James would still have to be Lilli's own Manny whenever his Penguin Butler would have to keep an eye on her whenever the Father's not around).

When Tabaluga got over his own crush for her after their first meeting, he basically decided on how to teach Lilli to be more "Independent" whenever she'd come and visit Greenland (either with or without her own Father), even with the help of her own Friends. Although that while most of the Greenlanders didn't like Lilli at first, the Ice Princess then expand more of her Kindness to her Surroundings as throughout her own Arc between Seasons 2-3, She and Tabaluga develop more of their Romance (instead of having a Rushed One). After the Frozen Defeat of Arktos, Lilli then decides for her own life that it is best to join her own Boyfriend and become the Rulers of both their own Lands after a Long Journey ahead of having Each of The Four Seasons be released every year as they start their own New Life together, thus, ending their own Families' hate feud.

I've probably should've had put this in my version of Tabaluga but oh well, at least this is probably from a Simple AU where if Lilli did had more Character than just being the Main Character's Love Interest. 🤷‍♀️

BTW, when I finally got a chance to watch the First English Dub Movie online, I was so Happy that I got a chance to seeing the Scene where Tabaluga and Lilli sing their own Love for Each Other from one of the Musicals and let me tell you it was sooooooo Adorable to see Tabaluga and Lilli's love for each other, which makes my Love for the Both of Them even more 🥰

And while that I still haven't checked out the Rest of the Musicals and their Songs (since I still can't understand German as Someone who wishes to learn more about Any Foreign Language for the Same Person who watches Foreign Cartoons all the time), I did try out the Original versions for "Devil In White" and "I'm Feeling You" as I still need to practice more of my own Tabaluga homework. XP

I was also afraid on how I would deal with my own first time drawing with Canon Arktos after doing my own version of Him (since his Left Arm was a bit hard for Me), but I think I nailed it after trying to draw out their own Canon Designs from the Franchise.

I want to add that Tabaluga and Lilli are 15 in the Tabaluga 2018 film. And in the albums Tabaluga is 7 but in the cartoon is not mentioned his age though he acts more like a 10 year old. In Tabaluga and Leo Special, Leo is 9 or 10 and has some things in common with Tabaluga and they became close friends.

i don't feel like tblga's underdog role was well executed in the film , particularly with his dynamic in greenland & eisworld prior to finding his fire . i get that they wanted the audience to root for him & he's definitely a sweetie , but tbgla isn't inherently meek . & if anyone thinks to bully him , he'll settle it the old fashioned way , fire or no fire .

however , i can see greenlanders not taking him seriously , him being a baby dragon with no fire & all-- but it's more akin to how king from the owl house is viewed in the early seasons . now , tblga's not hammy & power-hungry as the little titan , but he is sick of not being taken seriously nor empathized for feeling incomplete without his wings or fire . & being around middle-school age certainly doesn't help .

this would be in contrast with how the eisworlders are straight up AFRAID of him . there's certainly more respect , maybe even something that arktos would comment on , ( showing the dichotomy of each character's views on respect & power ) but not something tblga would want . he doesn't WANT to be seen & revered as a monster , & that would also ties with how he finds his fire in the end : not from the power of fear , but the power of love .

The Adventures of Blinky Bill was made by Yoram Gross Studios

Yoram Gross also made Tabaluga

Tabaluga recieved a CGI movie (not made by YG) in 2018

The English dub cast featured Canadian VA Benedict Campbell as the voice of Arktos

Campbell voiced King K Rool in the infamous Donkey Kong Country animated series

King K Rool is a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Kazuya Mishima from Tekken is also a playable fighter in SSBU (via its DLC)

So, there ya go, I can now officially connect Blinky Bill to… I dunno, Tekken, via the degrees of separation.

Duckvember Day 10: Free Space

Ok so uh.. I kinda obsessed about my childhood show "Tabaluga" lately. I just really want to used Free Space to draw something with him! This art doesn't make any sense but at least I have a lot of fun ^^

Tabaluga the movie - German Trailer 

I though that Arktos on the screenshots was ugly but JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NOW!

(Tabaluga is really cute tho.)

[animationandmup]

Tabaluga,the popular German little dragon, is getting an animated feature, produced by Tempest Film Produktion and animated by Awesometown, Studio Rakete, Sophie Animation and Trixter.

Sony Pictures will release Tabaluga in Germany on Dec. 6, 2018.

Tabaluga content? on my dash?

I’ve mostly been lurking because I’ve been massively busy this past month, but I made these icons for Arktos in September after getting into Tabaluga - a German franchise about a little dragon that started popping up around tumblr. Haven’t rightly decided on the muse yet.

Though the song ‘Schlüssel zur Macht ‘ really hooked me.

The problem is that I’ve not been able to find any English transcripts for the musical or the books - and those I have found have been pretty out of context. So, I’ve mostly watched the 90s show and the 2018 movie, which I had a blast with. The idea of an ancient, elemental, eldritch abomination taking the form of a disarming snowman is a great concept to me. 

[rookie-valkyrie16]

I don’t know what to draw today since it’s Easter Day, but I thought I might draw Arktos meeting his 2018 movie redesign of him from Tabaluga Movie, aka Ice Princess Lily movie. Plus I wonder what the new Arktos will look like when I draw him in Gijinka version? I mean, he looks ok, but Original Arktos doesn’t approve since New Arktos doesn’t match his design perfectly.

(I don’t own Arktos or anything else except my art. Do NOT Steal It!)

[fireheart223]

Looking at the only cast of list of the Portuguese dub of the Tabaluga movie I can find, it seems that the name of Arktos' penguin butler in the movie, Mirmel, was translated to Mirbel. I find this really funny for some reason
