spiderbraids3x20: The Pixies' Mission / Little Big Shots
Musa and Tecna say goodbye to their pixies before heading off on a mission. Musa's bit has a one-second cut, but it's quite the nuance they cut out:
Unedited:
Tune hums some music while dusting Musa's room.
While getting her headphones, Musa knocks over a container with dust in it.
Tune: Musa, please, be more careful!
Musa: Don't worry, I'll clean it up later.
Edited:
Tune is dusting Musa's room: So Musa, what mission are we going on today?
Musa gets her 'phones: We're not going, I am.
4Kids cuts out the container being knocked over, yet shows the rest of the shot of Musa getting her 'phones leading up to it.
Tune: That's not fair, how come I can't go too?
Musa: Fairies only. Maybe next time Tune, see ya!
Livy tells the bonded pixies about the planned raid on the pixie village. Digit decides they got themselves a mission, and bring along the pixie pets.
Unedited: Digit: "Little creatures of the forest, let's go ask the headmistress to raise the magical barrier." Problem is, the headmistress is with the other girls, outside the barrier, on their mission... The writers must have realized their error, as the next we see of Digit and friends, Digit reminds Lockette that "You found a passage that got us through Faragonda's barrier, but maybe this is too tough for you. I sounded like a fairy now didn't I? ;-)"
Edited by 4Kids: Digit: "C'mon little creatures of the forest, let's go defend our village!" The aforementioned "save" is edited out of the relevant scene.
Edited by Nick: Digit does address the issue properly: "First things first: we need to find a way to get on the other side of this shield."
No significant cuts happen until after Zing and Glim get captured by Darcy. The next scene, of the pixies getting lost in spite of Lockette, loses quite a bit of footage...
Unedited: So the pixies get lost, and Digit reminds Lockette about finding the passageway as above. Digit decides to have the whole entourage take 5 to "relax (their) circuits a little bit" :-)
Chatta: The right path to where? That's not the right way to Pixie Village.
Digit: First, we have to find Buzzy and Glim because they could be in serious danger!
Amore: Hey, listen up! I was just checking my magic sphere for directions, and I saw the Trix; they captured Buzzy and Glim!
Digit: We've got to rescue them! Come on everybody!
(entourage heads off, with a seahorse pet riding Kiko)
Tune: Hey, where did Livy go? (heads off)
Edited: The parts whereBuzzyZing and Glim's capture is addressed are completely removed.
Digit: Okay, just relax and get your bearings.
Chatta: Just follow your instincts and I know you'll get us there. I know it.
Instead of Digit and Amore's lines, 4K repeats the earlier shot of Lockette: Okay, we'll go toward the hollow tree, yeah.
(entourage heads off, with seahorse pet riding Kiko; Tune's bit gets removed)
Nick avoids the inconsistent name issue by having Amore mention that she's detected that the Trix are nearby.
The pixies find Darcy withZingBuzzy and Glim.
Unedited: After Buzzy flies out of Darcy's hand, there's a whole scene involving Digit telling Amore to use her crystal ball to find where Livy went, the other pixies happening to overhear Darcy, and Livy revealing that she's on a tree, before showing Buzzy summoning her bees to attack Darcy.
Edited: That whole bit is edited out, so it goes straight from Zing flying out of Darcy's hand to her summoning her bees to attack Darcy.
In the epilogue, FG tells the girls about Digit and pals seeing Valtor.
Unedited: After Digit points out that they got help from Kiko and the fairy pets, we see a seahorse banging himself against the barrier and FG has to lift it to let him in.
FG then points out that Digit's efforts produced the only useful intel they got today, that Valtor still has that box. FG says: "Digit, you really were a big help today", leading to the obvious "big" joke icon_biggrin.gif
Edited: 4K edits out the bit with seahorse and the barrier, and instead of talking about Digit finding their only useful intel, FG says she's going to give Digit and friends a medal (plus some of the footage of FG talking about the intel has been edited out as well): "Digit, you came through very big today :-)"
Response from mightymarty2: For the first part I do prefer 4kids as it builds up the bit of tension that helps encourage the pixies to leave latter on.
I think the original is better for the second bit as it expains how they will get out and again this frustration at being left out due to being seen as 'weak'.
Again the original is the better of the two as it allows a bit of personality in with the circuits part.
For the next bit it is 50:50 neither really stands out
I again prefer the original as it is more relevant and giving them a medal is a bit over the top given everything else that happens in the first 3 seasons.
As for the nameing issue it seems fairly standard practice in season 3 given Ophir/Nabu, Baltor/Valtor and not forgeting Layla/Aisha
Me about the naming issue: Ophir/Nabu was an in-story thing, while the others were name changes through dubs. AFAIK, the change from Zing to Buzzy in this ep is arbitrary :-\ (Similar thing happened to when Layla called Glim "Blinky" in early S2)
