What are you using to view the pictures with and how did you move the pictures?

I'm thinking that maybe you did not move the pictures but only the thumbnail previews of them.

just using iPhoto. i had backed up my pics on to an external drive then dragged them back into iPhoto '08, its quite annoying...

You can backup your whole iPhoto folder using Finder. This will keep all the files exactly as you have them on your Macbook. Then just drag the iPhoto folder to the MBP to copy it over.

All the database files should be kept intact. This is how I have done it many times in between computers and for OS reinstalls.

Yeah you probably only got the thumbnails.
