Why Batty Makes a Good Role Model
Batty Koda makes a good role model for many reasons. First, and perhaps most obviously, he does the best he can with what he has. Second, he is a very courageous bat. He saves his friends at least twice in the movie, and four times in the book, each time valiantly risking his life. Also, he would have to be brave to escape from humans. (Brave and smart.) This brings us to the third reason he makes a good role model: although he may not look like it, he is intelligent. He can see what humans would do to the rainforest. He has a knack for being in the right (and wrong) place at the right time. He can do some pretty good flying, after the first few tries. He cares about what happens to those around him. If you prove that his opinion about you is wrong, he's willing to offer a wing in friendship. He steadfastly trusts his own intuition. Besides all this, he will let you know if you're doing something dangerous and try to prevent you from carrying out your foolhardy plan (if you're his friend, anyway) but if you're bound and determined to do it, he will support and protect you in every way possible. He is loyal to his friends and does everything he can to keep them and his home safe. And besides all that, he has a great supply of funny remarks!

Favorite quotes:

"Whew, sonic interference, what a nightmare! I thought I saw a human...(sees Zach) AAAAAAAH! HUMAAAAN!!!!!"

Crysta:Will you both just quit it?
Zach and Batty(simultaneously): He tried to kill you! I did not! You did!

Iguana: Um, what's a human?
Batty Koda: Delicious and nutritious, tastes just like chicken!

Crysta's Father: Now Crysta, aren't you a little old to believe in human tales?
Batty: Human tails? Humans don't have tails, they walk around with big butts in little shorts like "Hi Helen!"

Crysta:Hmm,maybe you should stay here.
Batty:This is a fabulous idea, only why don't you stay here with me?
Crysta:Don't worry, I'll be right back.
Batty:Why do I not believe you?

Batty(after rescuing Crysta and Zach):Don't go I said, bad idea I said. But does anyone listen to Batty? Oh no...wait, fairies don't wear shoes... a human!!!
Crysta:A tree!! (Batty crashes)

"Oh, you're a strange little bug"~Batty on first seeing Crysta

Batty(rapping):They used and abused me!
Battered and bruised me!
Red wires, green wires,
Stuck 'em right through me!
So hear my batty word, and exercise a little prudence
When dealing with...humans.
Crysta:Humans?
Batty: WHERE?!
