Talk:Report N° 20Z
?
There seems to be some confusion here. 'Report N° 20Z' is divided into six short stories, but only the last two are actually reports written from a Robo-Pirate perspective; 'Report 020 Z' is only the title of the fifth story. The first four are told from the viewpoint of an omniscient third-person narrator who is chronicling the exploits of Rayman and his friends. I'm not sure why the entire six-part story is referred to as 'Report N° 20Z' on the first screen; I can only assume it was some sort of mistake made by those responsible for the site. The name doesn't really make sense, but I guess it's still official so we might as well keep using it. —Spiraldoor

- I find important to save all the six stories before anyday they get lost in time. If you have ideas of where to put them correctly, feel free to do that. --

Thoughts?
Each of the six short stories in the Report is accompanied by a piece of concept artwork. We've seen all of this artwork before – what's interesting is that the stories explain how the six scenes depicted in the artwork actually fit into the story, making the artwork canonical. Unfortunately four of the six images are missing from the site: the only two images that we can definitively say are connected to the stories are #3 and #4. The original images that accompanied stories #1, #2, #5 and #6 are missing from the archive. Thankfully the subject matter is so specific that we can be almost certain which pieces originally accompanied which stories; it also helps to compare the scale of the files, which match the residual image data that lingers in the archive (you can see how high and wide the original images were, though you can't see the images themselves). For example, the image of Globox performing a Rain Dance is very tall, just like the image outline beside story #2, so it's almost certain that this was the image originally on the site.
If anyone has any criticisms or contributions to make, I'd be glad to hear them; I'm currently trying to figure out which image goes with story #6. Maybe it's the one with the Spyglass Pirate supposedly running across lava, although that one seems a bit too tall? —Spiraldoor

- I could try to search in my pictures collection of Rayman in my computer, and perhaps finding anything that's missing in this article. I can't promisse to be quick, but nice job in associating the pictures with the Report. --
