Talk:Tabaluga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The factual accuracy dispute on this article has been resolved. Yoram Gross Films in Australia, and emTV in Germany, have both verified that Humsin the Sand Spirit, appeared in the Tabaluga cartoons, but only in the 3rd series, which has not been seen in the UK yet. This explains to you why I disputed information on the article. This article is now rectified and it is fine. Thor Malmjursson 21:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Human years and dragon years

I don't understand if a dragon call 700 human years "a year", or if a dragon lives a year so intense that is like living 700 years for a human. I suppose it is the first meaning, but I think it should be better explained. --150.214.20.100 16:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC) Arturo Reina

I agree. He is around 100 years old (and every year for a dragon is 700 for a human!). Taken at face value, this implies that dragons typically live for about 5 or 6 weeks (a tenth of a year), and that this one is unbelievably long-lived – like a human being 70,000 years old. Possibly, the writer means the reverse: That what a dragon perceives as a year in length is actually 100 years, and this one is actually 70,000 years old. In either case, it's an obscure way to put it. Just because 'a cat year is equivalent to 6 human years', I don't tell people my cat is 88 years old. She rides the earth in one revolution around the sun in the same time that I do, so she's a bit over 14 and half years old. Could we please have some clarity here?

Of course. I am happy to clarify this issue for you. The timespan of 1 dragon year is 700 human years. Meaning, that if the dragon is 1 year old, for that dragon to be one year old would take 700 human years. Tabaluga has been alive for approximately 100 years, meaning that he has been alive for 70,000 human years, but has only aged 100 in his own terms. If this is not clear, I have no idea how the heck else to explain it!!! Thor Malmjursson 19:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
