Robert Guillaume, the voice of Mr. Thicknose in LBT VIII has passed away today. He also voiced the popular character Rafiki in The Lion King as well as Isaac Jaffe on Sports Night. He was a very good actor so this is sad news indeed. Thoughts go out to fans, friends and family of him, this was very shocking, I learned of this just now :(
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, especially the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and especially the original Sharptooth.

I am a former administrator of the LBT wiki, having been active from 2017 to 2019.

And I hear he actually died of natural causes. About frikkin' time that somebody famous actually die naturally. In these last few years, its all been accidents, suicides, and cancer.
