Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Mumbling on July 30, 2015, 04:04:49 PM
Since the official trailer (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_land_before_time_xiv_journey_of_the_heart/trailers/11228745) for this movie has finally been revealed, this will be the official topic for discussing the movie... Mostly because the other topic (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=5912.460) the discussion was held on had a really bad topic name, haha. I've reuploaded the trailer on Youtube for those of you who said they were unable to watch it on the official website, here's the version on Youtube (until they take it down, that is...) http://youtu.be/roL4G-R0ows (http://youtu.be/roL4G-R0ows)

Lets hope for more information soon!

TBH, Universal would be foolish to take down the trailer.  At this point, all it does is give it more publicity which means more sales when it comes out.  Mine for the other LBT movies have been up for months.  If anything, Universal will probably just set it up to make money off of it. (Like they've done to a few of mine.)

Only if they knew it really sucked would they remove the trailer.

From these few scenes it looks like they're playing it quite safe with this movie. Nothing radical here, for better or for worse.

From what I can recall (hours after seeing the video) Felix Avita somewhat reminds me of a mix between... Thomas Dekker and Brandon LaCroix...? Idk been quite a few hours lol

Anyone else think this might be the debut of Monolophosaurus within the Sharptooth lineup?

Oh God. Nostalgia. Overload. Can't. Take.

CHILDHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!

Phew. Sorry about that. I just can't believe the gang's really back. Anyway, the trailer looks pretty awesome. I like that the animation isn't CGed like some of us were fearing. The voices are still pretty good (the new kid they got to voice Littlefoot sounds perfect for the role). The only voice I don't think fits is Reba McEntire as the Pteranodon. Her voice just doesn't sound like it fits the character to me. Of course, I could end up being wrong but right now, it just sounds kind of odd.

I'm also interested to see Chomper and Ruby in the movie. Perhaps this will be a prequel to the TV series and show us how the two of them ended up in the Great Valley?

"Playing it safe" and "Reba McEntire" should not be used in the same sentence.  We'll be having some good ol' country twang in this film with her.  Odd casting choice for sure.


Very very surprised for the 2-D look...I expected to see some really bad CGI-mix in there, and there wasn't any, at least in the trailer.  I don't care for Bron much, so I will probably pass on the film, just for that reason.  If Mo was in it, maybe I'd give him a chance since he's a bubble of fun.

Wait, you'd pass (edit: may pass) on a new LBT movie after 8 years because you don't care for Bron much... am I misunderstanding something here or...

I find this very very odd  :huh:

You understood correctly.  Everything really fell off a cliff after watching #8 with Robert Guillame for me.  The only LBT movie I really do own is the first one.  I have none of the sequels on dvd.

Shocking huh?  :!


I hold the original dear to my heart and would buy the blu-ray even with no extras just because I like it that much and it deserves better than part of the 3 pack DVD I own with An American Tail and Balto. ;)  I still need to get Tail on blu-ray now that I bring that up......

Post by: Ducky123 on July 30, 2015, 10:46:36 PM
I'll skip the part where I freak out about the trailer and get straight to the analytical part (I've purposely waited a few hours so I can think straight  :lol )


Well, where to begin? Maybe the title...

First of all either title sounds exciting (the new version maybe even sounding a bit more like the typical adventurous LBT movie) and would fit the synoptical plot really well. Journey of the Heart would imply that there's some really deep stuff in the movie while Journey of the Brave rather sounds like an action-loaded movie. Either way, Littlefoot has to master a challenge - to rescue his dad, and that requires both heart (err love and stuff like that) and bravery...

The point of this little paragraph is that I'm not sure if Journey of the Brave is the real title. Yeah, I know, why'd they release a trailer with a wrong title? But the site hosting the trailer still has Journey of the Heart as the title :p Ehh, we'll see...

It seems like we have a new LBT day to add to our glossary: Treasure Day! What could it be about (or based off human special days)? Sounds to me like a sort of day where you get gifts...

I'm really happy that the characters stil look the same! No Tv-series-style, whew!

As I can see, the producers are using tried and tested dangers the Gang have to overcome: Sharpteeth and volcanoes. So... nothing new but hey, there's no LBT movie without some predatory creature or natural hazard threatening our beloved Gang, right? :p

Speaking of Sharpteeth... they look different than usual and I think that's good (and scientifically more correct... I guess (same goes for Chomper, he's back to two-claws yay!)). I was kinda expecing Redclaw to pop up at some point but apparently we got some random guys again.

Speaking of Chomper... he may be my least favourite of the Gang but i'm still really happy to see the producers not ignoring the TV-series and introducing Ruby to a sequel along with Chomper.

So far I have gotten the impression that these two won't be around the Gang for the whole movie as they only have like a few milliseconds of screentime in the trailer :p Maybe they'll make a cameo appearance or there could be a sort of flashback? Or maybe (I'd love that option) this is, like Malte put it, a prequel to the TV-seris showing how Ruby met the Gang? Only time will tell ;)

Now for that new character (who would have thought...a flyer!)... It was kinda obvious we'd be getting a new character since we always got a new character in a new sequel (sometimes more or less important though...) She seems like adult flyer with the role to guide the Gang (kind of like Archie in LBT 4). Not like a major character but like a character I may keep in mind positively... :)

The trailer hasn't shown Bron nor Shorty but I'm pretty convinced we'll see both of them (alive) :yes

Oh, and... BABY SWIMMERS!!! I'm dying from cuteness overload! :lol

The voice actors... I'm glad to see so many voice actors pick up their old characters again. Since Felix sounds so much like Littlefoot that I honestly don't notice much of a difference at all, the Gang will still sound the way I'm used to (from the later sequels anyway :p). Some character's VA still have to be verified or announced though.

Those songs that got featured in the trailer sound alright. Not blowing my mind but not making me run away screaming either :p I'll have to listen at the whole song to decide whether they're good or bad.

The animation style... A lot of the elements, backgrounds and, particularly, the way rocks are animated remind me a lot of LBT 13 although everything looks better than in that movie. I don't think it can reach the level of quality LBT 12 had (in my opinion the best animated late sequel)

Hmm yeah, I think I've covered the most important aspects. If not, it's past 4:30 am already I should be safely tucked into my nest for a long time already :angel

Overall I must say that the trailer confirms my high hopes for LBT 14. I'm sure it's going to be one of the better sequels! Yep, yep, yep!  :exactly

Okay, analysis done, now I can flip out! A TRAILER YAY!!! :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate

Post by: Littlefoot fan 1990 on July 31, 2015, 12:20:37 AM
I won't be passing on this movie at all; even though they have to get new voice actors for Grandpa Longneck and Topsy. I'm sure their new voice actors will be just as good as their previous ones; although, it won't be the same without them. When characters have had the same voice actors for many years; it's hard to think of them voiced by different voice actors.

(I'll be looking forward to it when this movie is released on DVD. It sounds like a very interesting movie.)

You damn, dirty pirate, you! :p :lol

Yeah, Since Chomper and Ruby are in this, apparently, I'm hoping it's gonna be how the gang originally meets Ruby, and the two come to live in the valley. I'd love to see how the Gang originally get's the Valley to accept Chomper. Maybe Bron helps him get in, after Chomper helps to save him?

Maybe I'm just losing it but that scene with Chomper and Ruby..... It just feels as if Ruby doesn't know who Chomper is yet as if she was thinking "This is one weird sharptooth". Am I the only one who gets that feeling? Am I just overanalyzing?

Anyways I can't wait for more news. The movie looks very promising thus far!!!!!  :)

Also I had shared the trailer that Mumbling posted on youtube and shared it to FB. This is the first time that Aria Curzon saw the trailer btw. I know this because she commented on my post regarding the shared trailer (believe it or not we're friends on fb so.....) Anyways the film is looking good thus far  :)

Post by: LBTDiclonius on July 31, 2015, 07:18:51 PM
I have no idea how many times I've watched this trailer. But, yeah it looks like this might be a prequel to the series where they find Ruby and Chomper, and that would be pretty exciting, since the TV series left a LOT of unanswered questions. Also, the giggle definitely SOUNDS like Meghan Strange, so I have a good feeling that she will be reprising her role as Ruby. But I have no idea who'll do Chomper. Time will tell, I suppose, but I'm really pumped for the movie so far.

I also can't wait to hear all the scREAMING.

I'm super excited for this! Nothing feels out of place and the animation in the settings looks really well done (was that Bryce Canyon I saw?).

I'm especially excited to see my favorite character out of the gang returning-- Chomper-- and it's interesting to see how he and Ruby are going to fit into the overall story. Either way, I'm gonna buy this the day it comes out, for sure.

Post by: Akiko on July 31, 2015, 11:06:27 PM
Hm, hmm, hmmm.... Seems like it could be interesting but...Reba McEntire? Alrighty then. I won't judge it until I see it for myself but like Petrie I'm much more of a fan of the original movie. I enjoyed some of the sequels but I sure do wish we'd get one with the same feel of the first movie.... I know that won't ever happen, but I can dream right?  :p It would be nice if this is a prequel to the TV series though and we get to find out how Chomper and Ruby came to the Great Valley.

Post by: Coyote_A on August 01, 2015, 04:59:41 AM
Hooray! The trailer looks promising enough, but I really doubt it'll be a prequel to the TV series. And here's why: the only scene with Chomper and Ruby that was shown depicts them playing in the snow and in the first few seconds of the trailer (which are most likely to have been taken from one of the first scenes of the movie) we can see that this snowy place is indeed the Great Valley, meaning that the two will probably be there from the start. :)
As for them following the rest of the gang on their adventures... Although for some reason Chomper and Ruby are suspiciously absent from any action scenes, we can clearly hear the pink oviraptor say "We'll never make it through" at 0:24 (https://youtu.be/roL4G-R0ows?t=24s) which suggests that she and the friendly sharptooth will play at least some role in this journey. :)

Yes, I had that impression too the first time I watched the trailer. Even made me think that they've chosen Ruby voice actress to read Cera's lines at first, but then I realised that the fan favourite triceratops was speaking in the video before that and she sounded like her normal self... No doubt about it - the line in question was uttered by Ruby. :)

Reba McEntire... Oh jeeze, a quick google search says she was in Tremors as Burt's wife! That is fantastic! This is her right here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcsLaSBWG9k) Awesome! So I guess that means you can play six degrees of Kevin Bacon really easily now with the Land Before Time series XD

Post by: chomperrules1993 on August 01, 2015, 02:15:51 PM
I'm actually kind of surprised the trailer was released so quickly. I have a feeling that we'll see a 2015 release date not to mention it said @2015 at the end of the trailer implying a 2015 release date.

Although I'm shocked there was no mention of set release date.. Will there be another trailer soon with the release date? Will it be on the new website if and when it's set up?

Also maybe I'm wrong but I have a feeling Chomper and Ruby might have a bigger role than what is implied in the trailer, maybe they're involved in a secondary plot? Only time will tell. Anyways I will share any official news I find out about

Post by: somerandomfangirl on August 01, 2015, 05:30:22 PM
I do have a feeling that the trailer has been released too early and not officially by Universal. I would have thought the guys making the film would tell the actors when they were releasing a trailer (Felix Avitia would have almost definitely posted it to his Facebook page if he knew, and Aria Curzon didn't know about it, either), and that they would release it with another film. The only films I know of that are coming out for LBT's target audience are the new Thomas and Barbie films coming out in September. Plus, if Universal was going to officially release the trailer, why not just put it on YouTube rather than Rotten Tomatoes of all places? The timing and the way this trailer was uploaded seems rather strange to me...

Now, about the "We'll never make it through!" line. I always thought that it was Cera speaking, and honestly, I never even thought about Ruby. Now that I've gone and looked at an episode where Ruby does quite a lot of speaking, and I've listened to that line a couple of times again, I'm honestly not sure who it is right now... What throws me off is that a split second after the line is said, it shows Cera with an open mouth. I guess we'll find out when the film is released. :blink:

Looks like they're in it in some way, though we don't know how much of the movie they'll be in. (eg, are they gonna go along with the rest of the gang on the journey?)

Like Coyote-A said, you can hear Ruby say "We'll never make it through" in the trailer, so hopefully they'll play a big part.

Post by: LBTDiclonius on August 03, 2015, 03:37:22 AM
You know, I REALLY think it's Cera saying the "We'll never make it through!" line. It sounds almost exactly like her, and she and Ruby don't have very similar voices. Cera's got a bit more of a lower pitch and that matches with whoever said this line. If it's Ruby, then she might have a bigger role to play, but I'm almost definitely sure that it's Cera. If i'm wrong, I'll be the first one in the duncecap, but I'm pretty darn sure it's Cera.

Post by: Campion1 on August 03, 2015, 07:25:12 AM
The animation looks fairly choppy IMO. As far as Chomper and Ruby and concerned, they'll probably be guest appearances to keep focus on this new yellow bird thing. Still, I'm optimistic about this one and I'm happy we're getting something that already looks substantially better than lbt13. It's bizarre that it didn't say release for Blu Ray.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: chomperrules1993 on August 03, 2015, 09:53:53 AM
I honestly don't who said "we'll never make it through" anymore to be honest  :lol

As for how long Chomper and Ruby will be in LBT 14.... I think the new character (the one Reba's voicing) will sort of be like Archice from LBT 4 or like the mama longneck from LBT 9.

Chomper and Ruby will probably have as much screen time as Chomper did in LBT 5.

Edit: Just watched the trailer again. I am now convinced it was Cera who said the line in question. We'll just have to wait and see  :exactly

Post by: AllegroGiocoso on August 03, 2015, 09:56:44 PM
Yeah, that's probably a release date -- it would be an awfully long wait for another trailer! If this holds, Journey of the Brave would be just shy of two years in production: quite a bit longer than the sixteen months it took for LBT 12 to be produced (while the TV show was being produced simultaneously). Certainly looks like they're working hard on it and from what we've seen so far, it looks like it's paying off!  :D

For comparison, in the two and a half months between Curious George's trailer release and its film release, there was a song trailer and at least one normal trailer, as well as ten movie clips released about two weeks before the release date.

Also, so far it looks like there's at least two Barbie trailers out (one posted in February, the other posted in June) and one Thomas trailer (though that was posted in April by another user before Universal posted it in June); both of them will be released on September 8. So it seems like they've been having fairly long promo campaigns too.

Universal seems to put the trailers on its channel closer to the release date however, apart from one movie released on Blu-Ray on January 6, the latest movie they have a trailer on their channel for will be released on October 6. So perhaps they'll start uploading November-December or so? Guess we'll find out soon enough.  :)

There's probably no proof for this, but Wikipedia says that Chomper's new voice actor will be Wyatt Dean Hall. Apparently, he's most known for playing Roo in the 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie, as clicking his name redirects to that movie's page.

Couldn't find a good clip with Roo speaking... So I don't know
 if Wyatt sounds like Chomper

I wouldn't trust the info on wikipeda anyways espically when there's no references

You Know, I'm starting to think they're is going to be another lbt 14 trailer included in the blu ray lbt movie...... The 10th anniversary edition of the original (that was released in 2003 I think) had a trailer for lbt 10 (which was released in 2003) So maybe lbt blu ray will have lbt 14 trailer included......

I'm just speculating of course

I've been following this forum on and off for a while now, but I decided to join after seeing the trailer for this movie.

I've gotta say: I'm SO PUMPED for this new movie. I'm even more excited by it knowing that Chomper and Ruby are in it somehow. I don't care if it's a cameo or a subplot; it's still a big plus for me. As for it being a prequel to the TV series or not, I'm not willing to spin my brain out of my head figuring it out; I will wait until I watch it for confirmation.

Or I can follow the discussion thread about it and find out. :p

Either way, I can't wait to watch it! So, it'll be out on February or March? Sounds too long of a wait. :(

Yeah I know early 2016 does seem like a long wait. But that also means that Universal may be trying their best on this movie..... From what I've seen from the trailer it seems like it'll be amazing.... The wait will be worth it  :exactly

I know. I'm trying my best to patiently wait for it.

On a related note, what kind of Sharpteeth are those supposed to be, the ones in the trailer? Some are saying Monolophosaurus, others are saying Yutyrannus. I for one cannot verify if either is correct; it's got a pronounced crest, yet it's feathered.

From what I know about dinosaurs, it looks more looks more like a Monolophosaurus, let's hope they are not just random carnivores, but thats likely. Anyways I LOVED the trailer, can't wait for the movie!!!!!!!!!! :D

One thing I noticed is that these sharpteeth had a different number of claws than both Monolophosaurus and Yutyrannus. These sharpteeth had four claws on each arm while both Monophosaurus and Yutyrannus have only three. If I can recall correctly, four fingers was a trait of early carnivores. Of course, they gave Chomper three fingers in some of his incarnations, but they fixed that with this one, so...

Maybe these sharpteeth don't perfectly line up with a real kind of dinosaur, maybe they're a stylized form of meat-eating dinosaur combining different traits from different real-life ones, but between Monolophosaurus and Yutyrannus, I'd say they're closer to Monolophosaurus because Monolophosaurus's crest is more exclusive to its species than feathers are for Yutyrannus, plus Monolophosaurus is more closely related to the four-clawed carnivores as well and comes from a time much closer to the time when the four-fingered carnivores were around.

Wow, thanks for the response! :D Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Monolophosaurus with personal liberties done to the designs. That honestly wouldn't be the first time they did something like that. The Spinosaurus from LBT 12 comes to mind; it had two stubby, T. rex-like fingers instead of three claws.

So, I've spread this around and there are those who think this was created because of the Jurassic World craze.  However, we on this forum KNOW that it's not the case.

I mean, 16 months is how long it was in production before the trailer came out.  We have another 8 months before it comes out.  Maybe they got the idea to make a new one while working on Jurassic World, but even then, you really can't say it's because of Jurassic World being popular.

In truth, I have seen how well the sequels still sell.  Parents who grew up with the series are the ones buying them for their kids.  THAT is who it is being aimed towards.  The new generation whom have come to enjoy the series thanks to the older generation.  I mean, I have two nephews who enjoy this series as well.  They absolutely LOVE dinosaurs.  It's a perfect fit for them.

So yeah.  Just wanted to say that.

If this turns out to be the love letter I'm hoping for, it'll be amazing. :)

Actually, "Jurassic World" began pre-production as way back as 2013, so I think the LBT staff saw it was happening and expected it to be popular. I mean, the sequels first came out after "Jurassic Park" was released and became popular; I think this is the same case here.

I'm not so sure about that. The first Jurassic Park movie came out in June 1993 while the second Land Before Time movie came out in December 1994. I am pretty sure that it would take longer than a year and a few months to storyboard, animate/film, and release a movie, even if it was direct to video. You could argue that since they are by the same company, they got the idea during production (well before the release of JP) to make another LBT film. But this is just speculation.

I'm very excited to see the new movie!  I can't help but wonder what it's going to be like after all these years.  Hopefully they learned their lesson with LBT 13 and won't give us a steaming pile of turd again.  They need an actual plot with actual plot development.  Hopefully they'll give it more effort this time.

I'm also excited to see that the animation has gotten a lot better.  I'm also excited that they are offering an HD version of it.  Though I'm not a fan of the cloud enabled stuff, I should be able to find a way to rip it from the cloud to the computer so I can use it in projects and watch it whenever I want to.

I wonder if this is how things are going to go now.  Instead of buying a physical disk in the store, you buy a product key card in the store like they do with software so you can watch it online or download it to the computer.  That would be pretty darned awesome.  So long as it's DRM free.  I don't expect it to be, but you never know.  I guess I can always remove the DRM if necessary.  

Remember people, BUY IT when it comes out so they'll want to make the next one.  I know I'll be buying it - and I never buy ANYTHING when it comes to movies and TV.  It's mainly to show support.  I'll be pirating it before I buy it just because it's easier and I want to see it ASAP.

I think I just said this in some Skype chats, but It'd be real interesting in Chomper's parents are in this. If Bron and Chomper's parents are in the same area, that would make a lot of suspense, and conflict around the whole gang. It could put Littlefoot and Chomper's friendship to the test, give Cera a new reason to turn on Chomper. Even if Mama and Papa sharptooth didn't ever attack Bron, just that possibility would add a lot of urgency to Littlefoot's journey to help his dad.

I'm just speaking out of my tailhole here. There's no indication of Chomper's parents even being mentioned yet. Just wishful thinking on my part. :)

I somehow doubt his parents are in this one.  From waht we've seen, Chomper and Ruby appear to be in the Great Valley and not going on this one.

(Perhaps Chomper is ticked at a certain comment of Bron's.  Cough *All Sharpteeth are cowards!* Cough and doesn't wanna help or felt that he wouldn't be welcome (Who knows, perhaps this is when Bron met Chomper only a few times and hence still wasn't that keen on him and Chomper doesn't seem to like being around those who don't like him..  Perhaps Bron actually called him a coward to his face and Chomper is still sore over it.  This coulda happened before Brave Longneck Test for all we know.)  And since Chomper isn't going, Ruby, who had promised to personally look after him, is unable to go either.

On the flip side, if Chomper DOES somehow end up coming along (perhaps tailing the Gang secretly with Ruby) and his parents DO somehow end up near where Bron is, I can honestly see Chomper fighitng his own parents to help Bron.

Chomper has already tripped his own mother before to help Littlefoot and the Leaf Eaters.  Later, he hid them in the fifth movie from his parents and lied to help hide them when they were in that bush.

Also, Chomper coming could be an asset.  He could always use his Sharptooth speaking ability to misdirect those pesky Yututyranuses.  

Besides, Chomper is a sweet  :angel  and wouldn't help his parents against the Gang.

Also, Chomper might not be allowed to go due the mere fact that he is a Sharptooth and some in the Great Valley might question what he'd do unsupervised in the Mysterious Beyond.

Of course, we have three more reasons for Chomper and Ruby NOT to go: Red Claw, Screech, and Thud.  As those three are after him and Ruby, bringing more Sharpteeth along to an already dangerous journey is a very bad idea.  Plus, though Chomper and Ruby do sometimes go into the Mysterious Beyond, they rarely are seen going out of sight of the Great Valley into it.

Indeed, Ruby may indeed forbid Chomper to go, saying that if she lost him, his parents would be ticked.  

On the other hand, perhaps Littlefoot & Co sneak off, without permission, to go get Bron (they've done that sort of thing countless times) and Chomper and Ruby stay behind as they have some reason to, perhaps to keep the grownups from trying to stop them, so they are like distractors to keep the grownups busy.

Or, perhaps they talk to Grandpa and Grandma Longneck and, after discussing why Littlefoot is so desperate to rescue Bron, Chomper FINALLY learns what happened to Littlefoot's mother.  Indeed, perhaps at that point, Chomper, feeling guilt for what he is, secretly sneaks off to go help Littlefoot (hence why he wasn't shown with the Gang for a lot of the trailer) and arrives just in time (he'd probably be better at getting up the Fire Mountain than the Gang with that balance of his.) to help Bron.

Or, perhaps they talk to Grandpa and Grandma Longneck and, after discussing why Littlefoot is so desperate to rescue Bron, Chomper FINALLY learns what happened to Littlefoot's mother.  Indeed, perhaps at that point, Chomper, feeling guilt for what he is, secretly sneaks off to go help Littlefoot (hence why he wasn't shown with the Gang for a lot of the trailer) and arrives just in time (he'd probably be better at getting up the Fire Mountain than the Gang with that balance of his.) to help Bron.
Pretty good points made there. Can't wait to see what the movie will confirm from this.

That would be very interesting, but just  a little possible problem I see with that, is I don't think Chomper would wanna stick around the valley if the gang goes missing. At least some of the grownups are likely to suspect him as the reason they're gone.

Although, Grandpa and Grandma might still believe him, so it might make that point mute.

Would be another little interesting thing I'd like to see, though.

^Seems like she's dying to talk about it! :D

I have a feeling the wait for official news may not be long now with Reba's Facebook post getting circulated everywhere, her LBT post is so far her second most-liked post in August and there are a few articles online now reporting on it, I think it's the first time anything Journey of the Brave related appeared on Google News.

Also, while this may not be official, but this Land Before Time Facebook page  (https://www.facebook.com/LandBeforeTimeMovies) has just shared the Reba photo, and the reason I suspect it might be official is that it's the first time this website said anything related to Journey of the Brave at all; most of the previous posts were quotes from the first movie. What do you guys think?

Also, I just looked at the Wikipedia article and I've seen some interesting stuff (which I'm pretty sure isn't legit at the moment). Apparently, Corey Burton and Jim Cummings are replacing John Ingle and Kenneth Mars, respectively, while Kiefer Sutherland and Miriam Flynn are returning to voice Bron and Grandma, respectively.

One interesting tidbit here. On the landbeforetime.com website, it appears that the Barbie and Thomas movies that were supposed to be released on September 8th have already been digitally released, so they've been digitally released two weeks or so before they'll get their DVD releases. So maybe we'll get a digital release for LBT 14 slightly before the actual DVD release date?

Plus Felix Avitia said it would be released around February/March next year on Twitter.

I'm also hoping for more official news now that Reba has officially announced that she's in it! However, Universal themselves have kept pretty quiet so far; the information we've had has come from voice actors and the resumes of other people who have worked on it, such as Michael Tavera, Jean Gillmore and the directors/producers. I'm still not convinced that the trailer was officially released by Universal, either, considering it's so far away from the planned release date. Now that we know when LBT 14 is coming out, I'm not expecting much to come from Universal until after the first LBT has been released on Blu-Ray. Then again, they might surprise us. :p

I'm pretty sure someone here mentioned that Ruby's chuckle sounded like Megan Strange but we now know that Ruby will not be voiced by Megan Strange so the new voice actress proably sounds like Megan Strange  :yes
Do you think someone will definatly voice Ruby and Chomper in this movie? Because I don't want it to be a cameo appearence.

Haha! And I can't imagine what Topsy would think if his horns suddenly planted roots into him, grown really tall and have branches growing out of them! :lol (he's called Mr. Treehorn on there) I know it's just a typo, but it's a really funny image! :D

I think the older listings on IMDB (Kiefer Sutherland as Bron, Jim Cummings as Grandpa Longneck, and Corey Burton as Topsy) all seem like real possibilities. But these new ones just don't make sense. Only way I could see the two Brons working out is if one (presumably Kiefer Sutherland) is the speaking voice and the other's the singing voice.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)

Another way is if they do a flashback to when Bron was Littlefoot's age.  But I think that if 1 is the singing voice and the other the regular voice acting, that makes more sense.

Hey folks, I FINALLY managed to rip and upload the 1080p version of the trailer from Rotten Tomatoes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOczuuALufE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOczuuALufE)

Wasn't easy, I used the Video DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox, then through trial and error it managed to pick up 7 links to pieces of the trailer, then it was able to grab them merge them all together so I didn't have to try and fail to do that myself... which I did try.

So I finally got it just right, I don't know if you can grab the video without the split second of no sound at the beginning at the Universal logo.

Enjoy! :)

Edit: I decided to grab another version of the trailer which did have the proper audio and just spliced the two together and replaced the link above, much better now.

Edit 2: Reuploaded the original one, it feels like the audio quality is higher, not sure which to keep, up to you which you prefer. :p

Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: somerandomfangirl on September 21, 2015, 03:02:05 PM
Cathey Lizzio works for CESD, a talent agency. It's likely that she found out about auditions for LBT 14 and called in Scott to give it a try.

While I am a teeny bit disappointed that Kiefer Sutherland doesn't appear to be coming back to reprise the role, I've listened to Scott's demo reel and he seems pretty talented, so I've got my hopes up for him. Plus, considering that Cam Clarke took over for the TV series, I was half-expecting this to be the case anyway. It appears that more voice actors are announcing their roles now. I hope more news comes along fairly soon.  :yes

Cool picture! I just checked Scott Whyte's filmography and Jim Cummngs' on IMDB and they don't have any other projects listed in common in the last two years. Of course IMDB has lots of  mistakes, but it appears that LBT 14 could very well be the only thing they worked together on.

Speaking of IMDB, they now claim the release date will be in October ...

Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: AllegroGiocoso on September 21, 2015, 10:53:57 PM
Yeah, although they claimed it was going to be released even before the original (October 13) on October 6!!! Obviously not going to happen. I guess it's IMDB just being IMDB, along with their cast list still listing Meghan Strange as Ruby and Kiefer Sutherland as Bron (Scott Whyte's not on there yet).

Also (this is confirmed), apart from re-releasing the original, they're now re-releasing the sequels on three-packs the same day as LBT 1's release, so it seems like they're trying hard to renew interest in the whole franchise again. They already re-released the whole series in four-packs within Journey of the Brave's production, but they're doing it again now, so they're probably really interested in warming up the franchise just in time for JOTB  :D .

One of the users asked if she had permission to show it.

She said "Believe me we asked first and they said Yes! That's all I really needed."

Hmmmmmm....... I guess that means that Universal themselves will officially announce this movie soon  :yes

I always thought Cera's voice actress was different in the TV series and later movies. She just doesn't sound like what she used to in V, VI and VII.

Cool photo, I have a feeling that the movie will be out sooner then we think. Looking at the screenshot time I don't know of the movie is going to be 2hrs but if it is then it sounds very promising and did anyone notice Petrie wearing what looked like a leaf as a hat? I'm very excited about these recent developments.

I always thought Cera's voice actress was different in the TV series and later movies. She just doesn't sound like what she used to in V, VI and VII.
It's Due to her getting older over time. I know I've said this before and it can be a bit of a touchy subject.... But for any newcomer and as it's 100% confirmed now.. I can't say I'm too happy that their rehiring Cera and Ducky's current VAs... And I personally think Anndi was too old to voice Cera in the first place. She was in her late teens when she first got the role..
So I'm not too happy that I will have to watch the new movie with Ducky and Cera still having there obviously done by adult ( well to me anyway) kid voices.
As I say got nothing against Aria or Anndi (they did a lot of voice acting in a lot of my other childhood media) But if it were me I'd have let them go and recast Cera and Ducky a long time ago, or for this new upcoming film anyway... And have them voiced by kid actors like Littlefoot. (and like they were in the 1st movie and early sequels.)
Sorry to bring this up again, just wanted to get it off my chest...
It's not just in LBT, I'm not really keen on kids been voiced by adults in media in general. (Apart from anime's in there Japanese audio that is)

Anyway something else accrued to me.. I wonder when the movie is shipped and dubbed in other country's. I wonder if some of the character's foreign VAs will reprise their roles? E.G. Petrie's German and Japanese VA's voiced him in all 13 current movies. So you they reprise the role as Petrie perhaps?

Oh, and I don't think it will be almost 2 hours but if it is that's awesome!

As a filmmaker myself I seriously doubt they'll do it over 90 minutes long. There are a few "rules" (of course in cinema you're always granted a lot of leeway due to the creative aspectects of the art form), that due to a child's span of attention, and TLBT's target audicien cartoon/child movies are usually never longer than 90 minutes, 60 to 70 minutes long is usually what you're looking for.

However, there are exceptions, in comedy you should never exceed 90 minutes either because it's very hard to keep the audience interested in ordinary comedy for longer, however there are a lot of movies that were successful in passing this mark, let's see what LBT XIV has to offer.

I don't mind having kids in cartoon movies with adult voice actors, we often use women to voice young boys, as they do in anime (Son Goku is voiced by a woman), as long as they're professional they can really do a great job. Look at the Simpsons, over 25 years and the voices are pretty much the same.

If the movie is 2hrs long, that very likely means Bron isn't going to be the only center of the film. I think that's where Chomper and Ruby come into the picture and maybe, just maybe RedClaw, Screech, and Thud.

Definitely (confirmed by actors)

Felix Avitia as Littlefoot
Anndi McAfee as Cera
Aria Noelle Curzon as Ducky
Jeff Bennett as Petrie
Reba McEntire as Etta
Scott Whyte as Bron

And probably...
 
Rob Paulsen as Spike (vocal recognition)

Nah..... Anddi and Aria have voiced Cera and Ducky for so long I just can't imagine them having new voice actors. Aria herself said she would love to voice Ducky as long as she still has the voice she has (which is naturally young)

Here's proof of Aria saying she would love to keep voicing Ducky

I'm also used to having Aria and Anndi voice them. I can understand where people are coming from saying that they sound too old, but they gradually sounded older as more films were made. If they suddenly switch to younger voice actors, and then you watch the LBT series in succession, the sudden change after so long would sound a bit odd, at least I think so anyway.

I'm just kind of amazed that Aria started playing Ducky when she was 9 and is still playing her even at 27! Puberty has nothing on her!

By the way, I wonder why Candace Hutson stopped playing Cera after IV.

I'm glad Anndi is still voicing Cera. Her singing voice is great and Cera's character sounds much better with an older voice. I didn't like the first voice actor much at all, they made her sound way too bratty.

It's because they always want him being voiced by a boy, and boys have to constantly be recast because of puberty. At least they all sound quite similar.

Not yet...but who knows, maybe we'll see one in the LBT Bluray, which is due to come out in under two weeks now... And besides, we've still got a few more months until release, so maybe they'll release another one somewhere along the way.

Cool finds! You're really amazing at finding all these people! :) So now we know that the movie has just entered its third month of post-production. According to a couple of websites, it seems as though post-production takes about six months or so (though it does vary widely) ; that seems to confirm everything suggesting a release early next year. The only source I know of that could question that estimate is this comment (https://twitter.com/TheScottWhyte/status/644216566020620288) from Scott Whyte saying he's not sure if the movie will come out at the end of this year or the beginning of next, otherwise, the timing estimates look consistent.

Also, it seems that the LandBeforeTimeMovies (https://www.facebook.com/LandBeforeTimeMovies) Facebook page appears to be official, since at the bottom of this (http://www.uphe.com/movies/the-land-before-time) Universal page there is a link that leads directly to that site. They've been very quiet recently, they posted quite a bit this summer but haven't posted anything in a month now. Maybe things will change when the Blu-Ray comes out!

I doubt Universal would bother with a second trailer for a direct-to-video kids film. One trailer should more than suffice for its advertising needs. Besides, the announcement trailer already gives us a fairly comprehensive overview of the movie.

I'm still going by my previous assumption. If they do release a second trailer, it won't be till much closer to the movies release. It seems to me like they wouldn't really wanna push the movie till it's close to releasing.

From the trailer, and the trailer alone, I had the feeling this new sequel is sort of a return to form to TLBT franchise.

Before XIII, XII was a very good movie and one of the best sequels we've had after II, III and IV. I believe that XIV is in the same group as good later sequels like V, VII, IX, X and XII.

Let's give it the benefit of the doubt and only judge it after we've watched it.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Malte279 on October 29, 2015, 11:57:57 AM
I agree that giving it the benefit of the doubt may be the best thing to do, even though I share some of the skepticism (guess my position on Bron is well known and his inclusion makes it very unlikely that the new movie will be particularly respectful about the original or the setting of the early sequels). Nevertheless, nobody had seen any new installment coming at all and I am going to see it before deciding whether to like it or not like it. In case I end up disliking it, I do hope that as many others as possible do like it. My own sentiments for LBT are by now somewhat detached from further movies so I reckon a poor movie wouldn't hurt me as much as it would have ten years ago. On the other hand I am quite confident about my ability to still cheerish and rejoice over a new movie in case it is a good one.

Why? Lots of children's entertainment has a serious dark edge to it these days. Since going the more lighthearted route with LBT inevitably failed them, why not start going dark again?

that would be huge surprise if they do that

It might be good for the series if they did, though. Gravity Falls is basically the best cartoon on the air right now.

Being darker may not benefit the series much, and I doubt anyone in LBT 14's staff has the gonads to bring the tone back to the franchise's roots. From an outsider perspective, the LBT sequels (the latest ones especially) seem to be geared more towards elementary school children, probably under age 10. (I mean, that's when the LBT craze was highest for me.) The children's entertainment of today you mention seem more geared towards the middle-schoolers from what I see.

The original is still the best and none of the sequels are its equal, so I can only see going darker as a benefit.

There may be people who don't like the first movie as much as some of the sequels. I'm not one of them but I'm also not one of those who rant about the sequels and one of the few people here who actually wouldn't wanna burn the Yellowbellies alive.
There may be people who like certain sequels better because of their favourite character appearing in it for example or people who just didn't grow up with the first movie but with the newer sequels and the Tv-series.
It's not okay to claim it is the best movie without allowing any different opinions...

Everyone is allowed an opinion, WR, and opinions about artistic quality are, by their very nature, subjective.  It isn't like someone can perform a repeatable scientific experiment that will confirm that some film is better.  Although the original is my favorite, and it is the film of the series to have won the most critical success and popular praise, the issue of if it is the best or not is something that cannot be proven objectively.

I never knew it was illegal to say the sequels can be as good or better than the original. :p

FYI, my opinion is that some sequels (II, IV, VI, VII, X, and XII, to be specific) are just as good as the original, and that I do hope XIV reaches that level of quality. Of course, I understand why the original is the most appealing installment to people (and why the formula taken by sequels is not as effective) here and I do share those opinions as well. And I do not doubt that XIV should go back to the original's roots of storytelling; it's just that, realistically, it will likely not happen given the target audience and the treatment of many of the previous sequels.

The original was a labor of love by its filmmakers and said filmmakers were masters of the medium who worked under Walt Disney himself years earlier. The sequels are cash-ins made by second rate Saturday morning cartoon crews. In terms of artistic integrity and quality, there is not much to argue.

A bit of both.

@WR: THAT is your opinion. Some can perceive artistic quality in something from which others cannot. Even a box office bomb or one of the worst movies ever made can have some fans. That is the magic of subjectivity.

The LBT Facebook page just updated today with their first sequel-related post (apart from re-posting Reba's post). Previously starting in May, they made several posts relating exclusively to the first movie probably to promote its Blu-Ray. It's just one post, but maybe we'll be beginning to hear more sometime fairly soon....

I just...why?...WHY!? The past sequels of this have been awful, to me anyways and the last Land Before Time sequel was back in 2007. Why did they wait 8 years to make another as if they had to because I personally think they should have stopped at 3 like most animated movies have.  Reba McEntire? Really? I couldn't stand her in, "The Fox and the Hound 2" and now she will be voice-acting in this? I really don't mind her music, but please have her stay away from actually doing anything like this. That is my personal opinion for the new upcoming sequel that will most likely fail miserably.

Post by: AllegroGiocoso on November 06, 2015, 06:45:41 PM
Well, this is really good news! This has alleviated another serious worry of mine that Chomper and Ruby would not end up with speaking roles! So far, everything I've worried about the new sequel hasn't happened: no CGI animation, having great familiar and great new voice actors in place, having Chomper and Ruby back, and now having them confirmed to speak! Really great to have Miriam Flynn back here too, and pleasantly surprised  to see Meghan Strange come back too. All I can say is that so far I have seen very little discouraging news (only that we haven't seen Shorty yet) and I'm very happy to say my expectations just keep getting raised with all of this good news coming out  :D .

Also of note, Easter is relatively  early this year, at March 27.  Since Universal releases its movies mostly on Tuesdays, this would suggest a release date of March 22 if we're looking at a release right before Easter. Also keep in mind however, that some of the Universal family D2V movies were released two weeks or so online before the DVD release date, so who knows, we may be looking at even earlier than that.

Perhaps Meghan Strange wasn't supposed to say anything about the new movie and so made something up or was simply confused cause it said Journey Of The Heart instead of Journey Of The Brave

Post by: somerandomfangirl on November 06, 2015, 08:12:01 PM
Wow, that's some great stuff right there! I have a few things to ramble about regarding this...

Firstly, Miriam Flynn is back, which means Grandma Longneck gets a speaking role at least! YEESS!! :DD

Second, Isaac Brown and Meghan Strange are voicing Chomper and Ruby. I'm glad Meghan Strange is back, and I guess when she said she had taken no part in this film it was a blatant lie. :lol It's good to see a fresh take on Chomper, and I like that, like Littlefoot, they're keeping his voice actor as a child.  :yes

Release date is around Easter next year? Well, I'm pretty glad it's being released then, to be honest. It means they're spending more time on the film (nearly two years in fact!  :! ). With that in mind, I think we should be hopeful that this film will have much to improve on Wisdom of Friends. We can't really assume that, just because it is a Land Before Time sequel, it will be terrible. I'm going to keep my hopes up about it. :p


Anyways, I had a look at Anndi McAfee's Instagram, and then looked up the hashtag that they've set up, #LandB4Time . I found Issac Brown's Instagram (https://instagram.com/issacryanbrown/) and invite you to take a look at his most recent uploads.

Firstly, I'd look at the second video on there (EDIT: scratch this, he's uploaded more stuff since I made this post I've linked to it in my next post ). It shows a short clip of Grandma Longneck talking to Grandpa which then fades to a different location (where I assume the gang is at). The thing is, at the very start of the video (or on the thumbnail for it), you can see two pairs of feet. It's pretty blurry and the colours are too bright, but you can see that they're both bipedal dinosaurs. You can definitely make out the shape of Ruby's feet, and it certainly looks like Chomper's feet next to those. On the right you can see a very large, grey foot which probably belongs to one of the grandparents. It then cuts to the grandparents talking to each other. There is also a picture of Chomper with part of Ruby's face in it as well as another large foot which is likely to belong to one of the grandparents. Oh and he has three fingers again...

This could possibly explain why Chomper and Ruby are not with the main gang during the main adventure. It's quite possible that they help the grown-ups look for them. :yes

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out. I had started to lose interest since we hadn't had any news for a while, but after seeing this I'm well excited again! I'm looking forward to Easter!

All we need now is have confirmation of Shorty's presence and I'll be very much satisfied!  :yes

That is a good question that the TV series left unresolved.  I would imagine that any debate about keeping a potential egg-stealer and a sharptooth in the valley would be a very contentious one.

Maybe the directors found a way, but it seems like it's be almost impossible for Chomper and Ruby to convince the valley to stay without at least the gang there to back them up at the time.

Looks like Universal may be beginning to re-release the sequels to help promote Journey of the Brave -- they've just announced a re-release for The Great Valley Adventure for February 2.

Perfect! That means I will have the opportunity to do a LBT marathon once in my life as this is  just when my semester ends so I'll have mots of free time. Also, if anybody is going to stream LBT 14, I won't have to worry if it's getting late here in europe :p

However... I really need to order it as soon as I can or else I couldn't visit the forum for as long as I haven't seen the movie myself (I hate spoilers, mind you ;))

I'm already in the middle of that marathon, just watched LBT VIII last night. Since I work, I can't do more than one movie per night. But yeah, I hope it leaks online in some streaming site or as a torrent so I can watch it before any spoilers come out. I'll buy the DVD/Blu-ray regardless of its quality, so it's okay.

I'm not sure you'd be able to see it anywhere else since it's not that much of a video, it just zooms in on the picture.

Apparently you don't actually need a Blu-Ray player. It looks like there's a code on the back of the sticker and you enter it at vudu.com to get the sneak peek.  Here's a review video for Were Back that provides instructions

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D-47Mx-RK-4 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D-47Mx-RK-4)

Unfortunately it looks like this code is already used. I don't have a Walmart near me so I don't think I can get it but it looks like as long as you have the code you can get access to the stuff through vudu.com. It'll be awesome if someone here can post the content!  ;)

- The movie will be 82 minutes long
- There will be a new character named Wild Arms voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.
- Rob Paulsen will (very likely) return as Spike (he's in the voice cast list)
- There will be four songs; the three new ones are "Today's The Day", "Hot and Stinky", and "Better Off Alone".

I can't wait for this film to come out. It'll be the first thing I purchase once it's released. At first, I thought it might have been due to release by Easter; now, I'm glad it'll be released in early February.

Too bad the fourteenth movie couldn't be made years ago so they wouldn't have to get new voice actors for Topsy and Grandpa Longneck.

I wonder if Topsy and Grandpa Longneck will have nonspeaking roles in this film; I guess I'll find out when the movie is released.

Well from what we've heard Jim Cummings is the new voice for Grandpa long neck. And an Actor called George Ball is the new voice for Topsy.

Mind you I wouldn't mind a non speaking cameo from Topsy. The less of him the better.

Well good to finally see the DVD cover art. But I have to say it dose give me the bad feeling that this is going to be a very silly over the top film. I mean the gang zooming down a river...:blink:
I was not expecting that....

I knew that 2 hour running time rumour was bull..

I'm pretty sure Rob Paulsen is voicing Spike, it sounded like him in the trailer.

I really hope this Wild arms isn't one of those super annoying side characters like the yellow bellies and the stupid twins from LBT 6..
And is a likable side character like Ali and Guido.

Not sure if I like that they will be 4 songs in the film...
And I have a gut feeling I'm not gonna like the "Hot and Stinky" song. I mean just the name of sounds stupid. And I really hope it's not sung by Littlefoot and co, and instead one of the side characters for something..

The cover art isn't bad, it's not great, but at least it has a few resemblances with the first VHS and DVD covers.

It's great to finally have an official release date, February 2nd is already marked on my callendar :D

"Hot and Stinky" reminds me of "Creepy Crawlies", I don't believe it's a villain song, but most likely another forgettable one.

I've been looking forward for this sequel ever since I found out it was actually going to be released, however I now find myself a little wary. I hope it's not another LBT XI or LBT XIII look-a-like. Until it's released, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, but for now, I'll tone down my enthusiasm, so I don't get too disappointed if the end result doesn't work out.

Although one positive thing I can say about the DVD cover is that it has the whole main 5 of the gang on it. Apart from the TV show DVDs. There hasn't been a movie DVD cover with all 5 main characters since LBT 10. 11 just had Littlefoot and the tinysaurs, 12 just had Littlefoot Cera, Petrie and Guido. And 13 just had Littlefoot and the stupid yellow belly's.

Awesome!  :DD

Gonna assume Wild Arms is that feathered Sharptooth.

So we're gonna have 4 songs? Well, one of them we already know (it's in Ludicris' music project and sounds alright). As for the other three I won't judge em' before I've heard 'em. I must say I actually like the cover and... oh gosh it's only 2 months until it comes out!!! :DD

Too bad I'll be extremely busy with exam preparation around that time :( Should have been 2 weeks later or so :p

Anyway, I'll preorder this. Won't show my face around here before I've seen the movie  :lol I hate spoilers...

82 minutes, huh?  That puts it at the second longest of the sequels, with only LBT 10 beating it at 85 minutes.

Also, one should note that it says "Ships on February 2nd".  This is not the day it comes out.  When you pre-order, stores make sure it arrives on your doorstep at least 1 to 2 days apart from when it comes out.  Considering mail these days, it's official release date is closer to Valentine's Day.  With that said, I believe the official release date is February 9th.

Anyways, I have made my pre-order.  It'll arrive by February 6th according to the order.  Considering that's a Saturday, I'll have to wait a bit before giving all of you my thoughts.

In the meantime, I want to make an article of sorts.  I'll post what it will be about on another topic.

That cover art is better than some of the other cover art that's been put out.  This time I'm not find myself wondering what the illustrator was on :p  :spit.

I'm not expecting the songs to win Grammy nominations.  They will probably be childish like previous sequels, or maybe a couple of them will be quite good.  Who knows?  "Hot and Stinky" does sound pretty funny if I may say so.  I get the idea the song is about hiking/walking in hot places that make you sweat and stink :lol.

Post by: AllegroGiocoso on December 12, 2015, 09:06:45 AM
My guess is the song is describing Fire Mountain. It would fit in with other songs describing obstacles ("Big Water" in particular comes to mind) and since it's probably the third song in the movie, it would make sense for the gang to reach Fire Mountain at this point.

Here's the other information I could find off of this page: ;)

- The movie will be 82 minutes long
- There will be a new character named Wild Arms voiced by Damon Wayans Jr.
- Rob Paulsen will (very likely) return as Spike (he's in the voice cast list)
- There will be four songs; the three new ones are "Today's The Day", "Hot and Stinky", and "Better Off Alone".
Well good to finally see the DVD cover art. But I have to say it dose give me the bad feeling that this is going to be a very silly over the top film. I mean the gang zooming down a river...:blink:
I was not expecting that....

I knew that 2 hour running time rumour was bull..

I'm pretty sure Rob Paulsen is voicing Spike, it sounded like him in the trailer.

I really hope this Wild arms isn't one of those super annoying side characters like the yellow bellies and the stupid twins from LBT 6..
And is a likable side character like Ali and Guido.

Not sure if I like that they will be 4 songs in the film...
And I have a gut feeling I'm not gonna like the "Hot and Stinky" song. I mean just the name of sounds stupid. And I really hope it's not sung by Littlefoot and co, and instead one of the side characters for something..
Oh god, "Hot and Stinky?!" Somebody please tell me that's a joke.

What happened to Look For The Light?

Basically the bar I have is 13. If it's better than that, I'll be happy.

Now, I do kinda hope it's good enough that it turns a profit again, and thus they'll want to make more sequels again, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that.

That is the same stance I am taking on this. I'm pretty sure that Universal will have learnt their lesson after the one movie I can say was a huge flop.  

All I'm going to say about 'Hot and stinky' is that I'm not going to judge it until I actually hear it. My initial thoughts were that it was about fire mountain since it's a volcano and, well, volcanoes are hot and they smell. I think that this and 'Today's the day' will be the more fun songs, while 'Look for the light' and 'Better off alone' will be a bit more serious. I really don't see the need to make such a big deal out of it when all the info we have are the titles of the songs.

Also, the cover arts for the films have never really been anything spectacular, although this one does look like it has had more effort put into it than some of the other later sequels. I don't see why it matters so much. We've seen the animation from the trailer, and it looks just as good as the other films, so I have no complaint about what the actual film looks like. I really can't judge a book - or rather in this case, a film - based on its cover.

Of course, with a new director, new producers, etc., etc., I don't really know what to expect from this film. I'm still looking forward to it, but I'm going to wait until Universal releases more information before I make any judgements on it. Speaking of which, they're still being really quiet considering that it's releasing so soon. The only thing I've seen recently is the Land Before Time Facebook page posting a GIF of the gang looking at the fire mountain (this was seen in the trailer).

That's right; never judge a song by its title. Who knows? It might be a good song; I never judge a song before listening to it. If I don't like it even if I gave it a chance, then, so be it.

Just click on quote on the top right corner of the post, then when you're writing your own post there will be a small dialogue box bellow your posting box, there you can edit the other person's quote, if you just want to quote part of the post, or just let it be and the whole post will be quoted.

We've had some pretty childish songs throughout the years, it's as much part of TLBT as any of the songs we do like, we need to remember this is targeted for young children.

The name doesn't appeal to me, but I'm not going to judge a song by its title, or even the whole movie by one song. In New Order's latest album Music Complete, one of my favourite songs is called Tutti Fruti. It's probably the stupidest name they've ever given to a song, but the song itself is actually pretty great.

Post by: DarkWolf91 on December 14, 2015, 08:44:20 PM
I agree that 'Hot and Stinky' strikes me more as being a song about Fire Mountain than about anything bodily-function-related. Though I like CancerianTiger's idea, too :lol I've enjoyed LBT's sillier songs in the past, so I'm not too worried about this one. Also I'm interested to see who sings 'Better Off Alone,' as I have a feeling it might be WildArms' song.
And all I can think of when I hear WildArms is the old playstation game, has anyone else played it?  :rolleyes:

I agree that at the end of the day this is a franchise made for children.  As such, I expect sillier songs.  I know the new generation is a bit spoiled thanks to several different certain TV series, but I don't expect everything to be of that quality.  It's probably setting the bar a bit too high anyways.

I am surprised they are trying to fit in 4 songs.  One could argue that the last time they did that was LBT 11, but then again, some don't count those that play during the credits.  If we go by that logic, than the last one to do it was LBT 9. (Then again, some count the "Big Water reprise" as only half a song if at all.) It won't be easy fitting them all properly into an 82 minute movie, but let's how they do with it.

We'll know in two months.

Great find!

Hmm... well, I think quite a few of us guessed that Jim Cummings was going to be in it. Barry Bostwick, on the other hand... I have no idea what he's going to do, unless he's the new voice of Topsy.

I've tried clicking on the links on that page... but it looks like only certain people can access them. The first leads to a page where you have to sign in to view the content. The second is the Land Before Time Facebook page, and the third leads to a private YouTube video. The one useful thing to note is that the LBT Facebook page has now uploaded the trailer (the same one that was released 5 months ago), so my guess is that Universal will (hopefully) start talking about it soon.

Post by: AllegroGiocoso on December 17, 2015, 05:06:40 PM
Wow, cool! Awesome find!

Yeah, assuming Jim Cummings will be Grandpa Longneck, that probably means Barry Bostwick is Topsy. Plus he's about John Ingle's age when he first started in the sequels, and they said there would only be two new characters. But then again, there were IMDB rumors back in September that Bostwick was a character called "Longneck".... so maybe Cummings is Topsy?  Either way, it looks like Topsy and Grandpa got replacements  ;)

In conjunction with this release, comes The Land Before Time compilation album. The album features some of the best-loved songs from all of the previous Land Before Time films and will be available digitally January 29, 2016, on Back Lot Music.

Here's hoping that the album includes Best of Friends.

Gonna assume Wild Arms is that feathered Sharptooth.

So we're gonna have 4 songs? Well, one of them we already know (it's in Ludicris' music project and sounds alright). As for the other three I won't judge em' before I've heard 'em. I must say I actually like the cover and... oh gosh it's only 2 months until it comes out!!! :DD

Too bad I'll be extremely busy with exam preparation around that time :( Should have been 2 weeks later or so :p

Anyway, I'll preorder this. Won't show my face around here before I've seen the movie  :lol I hate spoilers...
I checked out his page on the wiki, and they say he'll be the comic relief for this one, much like Guido and the Yellow Bellies.

It's not really a Wal-Mart exclusive, is it? It has a sticker on the box that say it, apparently.

I might have been a bit happy about this, considering I work for Wal-MArt, but this really wouldn't be a good idea for the movie, I think. Shrinking your potential customer base to just one retailer, when the last movie in the series didn't turn a profit, and almost killed the franchise because of it, is kinda stupid. I would try to release this movie on as many retailers and services as I could, to try to get more eyes on it, and hopefully more sales.

Post by: NewOrder on December 21, 2015, 11:42:18 AM
It would be a bad move, but I'm sure they'll release the DVD on other retailers. Perhaps Wallmart has the exclusive for the release date/week, or it will have a special version of the DVD on sale.

Is there any website where we can check the DVD sales for the sequeles, or any other movie by that matter?
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 22, 2015, 02:02:06 AM
I think it's exclusive for pre-order at Walmart only.  Hopefully, they can get other retailers on the action when the movie comes out.  It would only hurt them more if it only went to one store chain.

Hmm... looks like a lot of things have been cut from the first trailer, but I guess that's because the full version has already been uploaded to YouTube. Also, it's been a day since they uploaded the trailer and it already has nearly 10,000 views. Not bad. :wow

Anyway, in regards to the Walmart release... I think it's going to be released exclusively to DVD at Walmart earlier than the other retail stores, and then everyone else will get it before Easter. To be honest, I'm just wondering if it'll release around the same time here in the UK. :p

Anyway, I have no idea what's going to happen with the European release, but I'm hoping it'll be around the same time as the American release. All I know is that the BBFC (which does ratings for all British film TV show releases) has recently rated two sing-a-long extras (of 'Today's the Day' and 'Look for the Light') for the film as U. I don't know how reliable it is since it also had the trailer on there and listed Corey Burton and Kiefer Sutherland as actors, even though neither are appearing in JOTB. So... we'll have to wait and see.

She's a country singer whose been in the industry longer than many of us have been alive.  I grew up to her music and think she has one of the best female country singer voices around.  She also played a total badass character in "Tremors".

Anyway, the new trailer looks like a lot of fun :D!  It's so cool to see the Gang back in action.  I swear, the scenery near the end looks just like Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah :wow.  Also, the baby swimmers are so adorable!  Those little sweethearts made me melt :DD.

I just fear that our pink fastrunner and purple little biter simply won't get a lot of screen time. In each clip showing the gang on their journey, Ruby and Chomper are absent. I might be terribly wrong here, which I somehow hope, but I assume we will either see them stay in the valley at the beginning while the others leave, have them show their own little backstory maybe, or witness them arrive at the end as some sort of prologue scene to the TV-Series.

Just some food for thought. As I said, might be incorrect, but I have a feeling this will be the case.

:DD

But yeah.
Or creators didn't show us frames with them intentionally, or there's just not enough frames.

But I hope both of them will get enough screen time.

Is it so hard after dozens years to extend our gang to seven regular members?
C'mon!  :D

Nice find!  Really interesting to see that George Ball is listed on this list while he's not on the December press release, while Jim Cummings was on that one and not this and Barry Bostwick was on both.  Based off that info, I'm guessing George Ball's voicing Topps, Barry Bostwick's voicing Grandpa, and Jim Cummings is voicing background characters.

LBT Squad on Youtube has had a interview with Ducky's VA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPgOV_fsSys (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPgOV_fsSys)

In this she tells us some spoiler free info on LBT 14.
She says her favourite song in the new movie believe it or not is the Hot and stinky song! I personally am dreading that song, as I think it just sounds stupid.
And I hope it doesn't involve another fart joke like in LBT 13...

Aria also said that at one point in the film, one of the gang members leaves for a while, but then comes back later.
I have a gut feeling it might be Cera. As in one scene in the trailer she's no where to be seen with Littlefoot and the others.
If it is Cera that leaves for a while, kinda deja vu. I mean she did that in the first film. Way to be original Universal, if it is Cera that is....

They say never meet your idols. She seems nice but that's not how I pictured Ducky's VA to look like.

If indeed it is Cera, it kind of makes sense. Hollywood these days, especially with sequels and reboots, invest a lot in mirroring the original ones. It's easy to see the similiarities between The Force Awakens and A New Hope.

The big studios are just not taking risks anymore.

Yes I noticed star wars episode 7 copyed a lot from the past too.
Yeah and it won't be the first time the sequels have been  unoriginal and copyed stuff from other films.

E.G. the 13th movie had a scene were they thought they fond berry valley but it wasn't. Just like how in the first movie they thought they found the great valley only for it to turn out not to be.

Yes, there are many examples, I've pointed most of them out in the thread about what makes the sequels great.

It's mostly fan service, but it's part of the wonder of The Land Before Time.

Post by: Dalekdino on January 13, 2016, 02:00:07 PM
Yes and come to think of it the 4th film my favourite sequel no less. Kind of copies a few things from the first movie. E.G That one has Cera not come with them at first then later shows up and helps them, also during Grandma's lullaby, we see some baby pteranodons that look an awful lot like the ones from the first movie that fought over that cherry, and the 4th movie ends with a flash back montage like the first movie.

Not sure, but since it does have slightly more pre-orders than The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar at Walmart, which caught me by surprise, as well as having more sales so far than several new Barbie, Thomas, Lego, and Scooby Doo TV shows/movies on preorder, so it looks like at least it's holding its own in relation to other longtime franchises, and being on the second page out of thirteen seems pretty good. :)littlefoot

Of course, it is a Walmart exclusive now while most of the others aren't, but also keep in mind that a lot of parents who'll ultimately buy this for their kids probably have no idea that this movie is coming out, and maybe many parents might buy it as an impulse buy when going out to Walmart. Based off what worked with Great Day of the Flyers, I imagine that Walmart will have the exclusive rights to the movie for a few months (which probably gave Universal some profit right there) before the other retailers can start selling it. It still is not even on the Amazon's coming soon section, nor on Target, Best Buy, etc. website, which my guess is it's probably part of the deal they made with Walmart.

Plus, again, there are still quite a few people who have no idea this movie is even coming out, and many are just finding out, as seen from some fairly recent comments on the Facebook and YouTube page:

"Omg is this still going on! what have I missed!!"
"There's going to be a new movie?"
"I didn't think they would make another Land Before Time movie. I can't wait to see it!"
"YES! OH MY GOODNESS YES! MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK!"



And for one really encouraging sign, look how much traffic the LBT 14 trailer on Reba's Facebook page has, along with lots of Reba fans eager to share it with their children/grandchildren in the comments. So there might be a bunch of new buyers there. :D . If each like on Reba's video buys LBT 14, that's probably almost $200,000 right there.  ^^spike

It might get some good sales. How is the bluray version of the first movie?

With Jurassic World, dinosaurs are cool again, and that might increase the sales. It's all a good marketing strategy. I believe that even if LBT XIV flops, they might try again when JW 2 comes out, maybe with a TV series or with a reboot.

But let's hope it won't come to that, and that LBT XIV will be successful (:

There will always be haters. I do agree that if I was only geting to know TLBT today and learned that there is a total of 13 sequels and a TV series I would slowly walk away. There aren't that many franchises that can survive after a couple of sequels, and that's mostly because the quality of the plot tends to go down considerably.

Still, us true fans will always watch them no matter how much they suck :p

Post by: DarkWolf91 on January 21, 2016, 11:05:19 PM
Awesome! I'm seeing elements of LBT 4 (the cave-in, littlefoot separated from the gang with a wise, comedic older character), and LBT 5 (the stinkweed).

Topsy and Grandpa Longneck's voices, and all of the adults for that matter... yeesh. I guess they're alright, but the old voices were just such a huge part of their characters. That one hurts, it's going to take some getting used to.

The animation is... weird. The sequels have never had top-notch animation, and the majority of them were outsourced to studios in asia, but this is something different. It's kind of jumpy almost. I'll be interested to see what studio is credited for it.

The last thing that stood out to me is the background choice in the clip with all of the adults talking. The colors definitely aren't typical of a night time palette, and while I'm all for color experimentation, it's exceedingly bright, almost to the point of visual confusion. The only thing that I think could account for this is that it might be dusk, and the sun hasn't completely set yet. Will have to watch the full scene I guess.

Also, there's a little bit of snow showing there! I wonder if that's part of the plot, or if it's just a subtle way of reminding us that seasons do exist in the Great Valley :D
It's neat to see Ruby and Chomper included in some way, too :yes

All in all the clips have been good enough to keep me interested- it looks like it might just bring back that old LBT charm if they pull it off right :smile

A few things.

While the new voices for Grandpa Longeck and Topsy sound nothing like Kenneth Mars and John Ingle it really isn't that bad. Also Chomper's new voice Issac Brown sounds a lot like Max Burkholder so at least Chomper sounds like Chomper. One last thing. I'm speculating that Tress Macniele is still voicing Ducky's Mother and Petrie's Mother

Oh yeah and Hot and Stinky really isn't that bad. It's actually quite catchy  :)

Post by: The Lone Dragon on January 22, 2016, 01:50:58 AM
These clips are brilliant! :)littlefoot I did not expect the Song Hot and Stinky to be as catchy as it was, love Cera's reaction though.

I did notice one thing though. One of the clips, featuring the adults showed Chomper and Ruby but design was like that of the TV series with three claws and body boobs. I don't know weather they changed or weather it was an error but I suppose we will soon see.

All in all I look forward to seeing the new movie come out, I thankfully think that there is no doubt that it is not as goofy as movie 13 but I would speculate to what I've seen is up there with the good sequels.

Wow, was not expecting them to be putting out so many clips like this before the movie comes out! I just thought we'd get a second trailer or something. I didn't realize how close we are to release either. It's only about a week and a half away, guys!

SPOILER ALERT

So, looks like the movie won't go into how Chomper and Ruby got accepted into the Valley? All of the residents seems to know them already (Or at least they're not stomping them into bloody red spots on the ground! :lol) Wonder if this movie is gonna go into any of that backstory or not.

END SPOILER ALERT

Hmm, not sure. Seeing the kinds of animation mistakes they've made in the sequels before, I guess it could be an animation mistake. I don't know, maybe two separate artists drew those two scenes, and one of them wasn't given/told the right character designs to use?

Post by: somerandomfangirl on January 22, 2016, 03:01:03 AM
EDIT: I have blacked out pretty much everything related to the plot (even minor things) since the film isn't out yet and some people don't want to hear anything plot-related just yet. ;)

I guess this is the one good thing about waking up so early in the mornings. :lol

I'm going to put my thoughts on each of the clips, since I have time to spare. So here goes!

The Cave-In (https://www.facebook.com/LandBeforeTimeMovies/videos/791839614275918/?theater)
Well, I woke up at some stupid time this morning and thought I'd check Facebook on my phone... and this wasn't the thing I was expecting to see! If I had to see any clip to give me a good first impression, it would be this one.  I had a feeling that it would beLittlefoot who got separated from the gang for my own reasons (which I won't get into right now). Etta seems like a great new character for the franchise and I really like her so far.

Find The Way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrC8oPq3tLU&index=2&list=PL5kPGgBxjJw7bWYkW2EtoS6e8xSXN2Brw)
Can I just say, I really love the art direction here? I'm really digging the background art in this clip. So, by the looks of it, Wild Arms isn't with the gang for the trip, but he's given them directions on where to go and how to get to the Fire Mountain.

To Guide Us (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEbJlqnBP5M&index=3&list=PL5kPGgBxjJw7bWYkW2EtoS6e8xSXN2Brw)
Honestly, I still don't know what to think here. It's the first time we hear both Topsy's and Grandpa Longneck's new voices, and... wow. I really don't know what to think of them. Topsy sounds okay, and I think I'll adjust to his voice more quickly. Grandpa, on the other hand, just sounds way too different. His voice is deeper and it sounds kinda strange. XD To be honest, I knew anyway that Grandpa's voice change would be the one I would take the hardest, since he's one of my favourite characters and hearing the voice change after so long would be difficult.

Anyway, I agree with what DarkWolf said about the brightness in this clip. It's really weird that they're claiming it's night-time but it's clearly too bright for that... I'm really hoping that this brightness is because it's dusk and not night-time, because I really don't see that why, after the typical night colours for the other films and TV series worked, this one would be any different.

Onto what actually happens in this one, it looks like both Wild Arms AND Chomper and Ruby will be along with the adults for the trip... or at least Grandpa and Topsy. Another thing to point out is that Chomper and Ruby are already in the valley, which again begs the question of whether this takes place before the TV series or after. Either way, there needs to be an explanation as to why Chomper and Ruby are there.

Out of the five clips, I'd say this is the most interesting, if only because of the new voices.

Stinkweed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN6ddvhExdE&list=PL5kPGgBxjJw7bWYkW2EtoS6e8xSXN2Brw&index=4)
So, we get to hear a second song from the film! I have to admit, I was wondering why the gang were wearing leaves in the trailer, and I have to say, I really like the idea behind it. The song itself is pretty fun (like Aria said in her interview, it's one of those fun character-y songs) and catchy, and I kinda like it. At least it's not about certain bodily functions as some of us were fearing. :lol Cera's really not getting into this at all, though. :p

One Piece (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5Y24DBQpT4&list=PL5kPGgBxjJw7bWYkW2EtoS6e8xSXN2Brw&index=5)
Looks like the gang just got out of being in a danger of some sorts, and have just found the Fire Mountain. :celebrate  Not much else happens besides Littlefoot and Cera having an epic glaring contest, but I guess they can't give too much away.

Overall, it looks pretty good. The animation does look a little bit jerky in places, but I really wasn't expecting perfect animation anyway. What I can say is that it looks better than certain parts of LBT 11 and LBT 13. Whether we like 'em or not, Topsy's and Grandpa's new voices are here to stay now, so I guess we'll just have to get used to it. I wonder if there'll be any more new clips before the film is released, but either way, I'm happy with what I've seen so far.  :yes

ooohhh

So close... Can't wait.

Post by: Dalekdino on January 22, 2016, 05:53:28 AM
Ok I have watched those clips and fair warning I may go into a bit of a rant...
And this will be VERY opinionated and honest.  


First I agree with DarkWolf91 the scene with Littlefoot trapped behind rocks is very similar to LBT 4. (A much better sequel and my favourite one)
I have to be honest I'm not sure about Etta's dopey Texas accent. I have a feeling I'm gonna find it quite annoying.

Topsy and Grandpa long necks new VAs... Now Topsy's new voices sound fairly similar to John Engle, but is a bit too deep here and there.
But Grandpa long neck's new voice  sound NOTHING like Kenneth Mars at all, and sound too young to me. More middle age then elderly..
I kinda figured from the start that they'd sound nothing like their old voices, just like 90% of characters that were recast in the TV show..

I also noticed this is just a minor nit pick, but Cera's eye lids are the wrong colour. There normally light yellow like the rings around her eyes. But in those clips there orange.

Then hearing the Hot and Stinky song...
Ok... As soon as I heard the title of that song I knew I was gonna hate it and I guessed 100% right. To be fear it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It thankfully had no toilet humour or fart jokes. But still the title sounds like a song you'd hear in Sesame Street or the Rugrats. Hell it sounded like a Sesame street song. Hot and stinky. More like hot and shitty ! Sorry for the bad language bit I'm annoyed here.
I'm Very tempted to do a Bambo scene of that were he says after the song.. " You know what stinks worse then this weed?....THAT SONG!"
So yeah I think I will skip that song when I watch the movie.

Finally. Ok I know I've said this before loads of times and it kinda a taboo here and I'm out voted. But after seeing the clips I have to get it out of my system.
I'm not happy that they still hired Ducky and Cera's VAs. As I've said I'm not too keen on how they voiced Ducky and Cera, and after seeing the clips they sound just as forced to sound child like and unconvincing, there for spoiling my enjoyment of the film..
I really wished they recast them and have kid actors voice like in the old days.
I don't get why they hire kid actors for Littlefoot and Chomper, but not Cera and Ducky... As I say got nothing against Aria and Anndi, their great actresses and good looking women. But I say their too old now,(If I had been in charge I'd have recast them years ago.) and we need fresh meat.
I mean we've already had 2 recasts for main characters for the movie .

 Ok sorry for been soo negative and I know some of you won't like what I said.. But I had to get it out, makes me feel better. I'm still hoping the film will be decent and will give it a watch.. I am hoping it will be available on Google play.

I've considered not watching the clips, but I ended up watching them anyway :p

They don't give much of the plot, at least not more than what we already know. I do like the references to LBT IV (the best sequel by far, and my favourite one).

There are still a lot of unanswered questions that only the movie will be able to answer them. And that's what you want from a trailer/clip. Just enough to get you excited, but not too much of the plot.

As for Hot and Stinky, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's childish, but it's a fun song, sometimes we forget this is a franchise meant for small children. Not all songs can be as deep as Always There or as meaningful as It Takes all Sorts.

The animation looks well done, I do love the backgrounds. That nighttime scene was way too bright, but it is beautiful in a stylistic sense.

What I would like to see in the movie:

An explanation for why Chomper and Ruby got accepted into the great valley

A well balanced villain with a good backstory that just isn't some random sharptooth

I hope that Tress MacNeille is still the voice for Petrie and Ducky's mothers. Won't know that for sure until I start watching the movie after I purchase it.

I listened to a portion of Hot and Stinky; I think it's a pretty good song.

I was so used to Kenneth Mars as Grandpa Longneck and John Ingle as Topsy. I grew up with the franchise; and it's going to be an adjustment hearing my two favorite adult characters with different voices.

I like that Chomper is making his third movie appearance and Ruby is in her first movie appearance. I think Chomper's new voice actor sounds kinda like his voice actor from the TV series; I barely noticed a difference with Chomper's voice.

Everything plot-related has now been blacked out. Sorry it took so long, but I can't really edit long posts on my smartphone easily. Next time I'll be more careful (and won't post things at 6am :lol ) when it comes to spoilers, both major and minor.

I think those who don't want any spoilers should probably keep away from this topic for now... I have a feeling that there might be more clips uploaded before JoTB comes out. Then when the film comes out we should make a spoiler-free topic for those who want to share their thoughts on the film but don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. ;)

Post by: NewOrder on January 22, 2016, 12:20:48 PM
We should set a rule that anyone who wants to talk about spoilers should post at the start of their comments "SPOILER ALERT" or something like that.

As for the voice actors, they really don't sound that different to me. Topsy's the one that I've noticed the most changes, the others are alright. I grew up with TLBT in my native tongue, so it's natural that I'm not as attached to the original VA as most people here, still, the show must go on, and I'm sure the ones will do a good job.

Etta's accent is a bit annoying though. And I see they're still using those "...at least I don't think so" jokes.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on January 22, 2016, 01:30:43 PM
OK...um, wow.

So in the first clip, I gotta say, I find Etta annoying. First of all, all I hear is Reba, I don't hear a character. Secondly, why is she all one color? It almost makes her looked naked or something. I don't like it.

The Hot and Stinky song is as horrid as I thought it would be. I know I'm going to be skipping over it when I watch the film. It almost gave me second thoughts about buying it.

The clip of Spike finding a way down is pretty boring. So is the one of them crossing the chasm, although I do want to see more of this Wild Arms character.

The great valley clip...my god, what did they do to Grandpa Longneck's voice? I'm sorry, it's just sad to hear anyone other than Kenneth Mars voicing him, even if it can't be helped. As for Topsy...yeah, also pretty unfortunate. The one good thing about him was John Ingle's performance, which was always great. Also, is it just me or does Grandma Longneck sound different? At least the ending was nice. Welcome to the films, Ruby, and welcome back to them, Chomper!  :smile

Post by: Cancerian Tiger on January 22, 2016, 04:27:36 PM
Everybody's free to their opinion, but I'm seeing an increasing amount of negativity and the film has not even been released yet😕.  This is a LBT sequel, not an Oscar winner we're talking about here.  My expectations aren't high.  I'm just glad to see a continuation to a series I adore and will certainly show my future kids😉.

I shouldn't be surprised to see negative remarks being made about the Southern dialect, but on a forum that embraces diversity where the main focus is about a series that embraces diversity, I'm quite shocked.  I'm Southern and I love the way my demographic talks.  I don't hate any dialect out there or find people annoying for it, but each to their own I guess😛.  The entertainment industry has been known to discriminate against certain dialects, but it seems they're finally accepting language and dialect diversity.

Post by: DarkWolf91 on January 22, 2016, 04:43:47 PM
I agree with Cancerian Tiger, we've really only seen a small portion of the film. And we have to remember that the main demographic is younger children- the series of sequels is and always has been in a completely different genre than the original. There are certain silly things that are to be expected in these kinds of films. Of course, the writing has been better in the past, but I'm still just holding out for 'better than 13' :lol
I didn't mind Hot and Stinky at all, it's pretty cute, and it's really just a bonus song anyways.
It is kind of weird that Littlefoot seems to think scent masking is an original idea, especially after it was used so extensively in LBT 5, but again, they are not targeting this series to a nitpicky older audience :smile

I like Reba's performance so far, and her character seems more expressive than what we've seen of the other adults. I'm still excited for this film, I'll definitely be watching it with my son when the preorder gets here :yes

Yup, still doing the same thing as you, Wolf. 13 is the bar for me. If it's any better than that, I'll be happy with it. Let's not get our expectations up so high, people. About the only thing we should be expecting is it to be much like the other later sequels, and that's just the feeling I'm getting from these few clips.

And I guess the "Wah, the southern talking flyer is racists!" is just like years ago, when they were saying "Guido is such a Jewish stereotype!" "Doc is just a giant walking western cliche!" and other stuff. That stuff doesn't really bother me. It might make me cringe sometimes, but I usually end up getting some entertainment out of it, at least. :DD

Also, were all forgetting the great gift that's being bestowed upon us. A gift we'd never thought we'd get again.

CAPTION FODDER!!!!

We finally will have new pictures to write captions for! Just think of the awkward animation! The animation mistakes! All the random expressions that only show for a single frame that would get just the perfect captions! Think of all the characters looking embarrassed or constipated, or disgusted that will be perfect for all those toilet humor captions a certain couple of you love to write so much of? How about those kinda suggestive frames that a certain other member loves to put up, just to see how far he can go? :lol Plus, for me, we're getting new Chomper material for captions! It's gonna be fun!



...yeah.

Just trying to find something positive that no one else has mentioned. I guess we could start using them for captions now? I don't know if some people would count that as spoilers, and detest it, but It'd probably be fun, at least.  :)littlefoot

Yeah, although this isn't the first time continuity has been an issue.

Oh, and Campion1, what I was saying was simply that Etta's coloring choice (all one color instead of having a belly-color like the rest) just makes her stick out from other dinosaurs like a sore thumb, and makes her appearence feel like it's lacking something. I hope that explains it better.  

Also, an interesting thought came to mind after reading the paralells to LBT 5. The effects of the stinkweed in that movie seemed to make Chomper's father less eager to eat the gang, but the plated sharptooth obviously didn't mind. Which made me wonder---was he hunting them for food, or was he a cold-blooded murderer? It actually wouldn't surprise me---I mean, this was the guy who was willing to take on two sharpteeth his own size. (But did they have to make him cry when Chomper bit his tale?  :rolleyes )

Commenting on the half a million things that have been said thus far...

I was tempted not to watch the clips last night myself...but what the heck, I did anyway. Needless to say, I see that everything looks promising. Not first movie promising, but then none of the sequels will ever match the quality of the first movie, as we all know.

As far as the voice actors go for the most part, the new Littlefoot does a remarkable job, and is matched perfectly with the rest of the gang's VAs being reunited, all of whom sound better than ever, with the possible exception of Ducky...I'm not sure I really dig Aria anymore...  :( Both Chomper and Ruby sound promising as well. As far as the adults go...meh. I'm glad Miriam Flynn is back, and I'm assuming Tress MacNeille is still doing Ducky's and Petrie's moms; I'm not quite sure if it's her there. The replacement actors...well, the guy doing Topsy isn't too bad, if not a bit too deep in places. Grandpa, on the other hand, is too deep and much less elderly sounding for my liking, thus going to prove how much we'll all miss Kenneth Mars and John Ingle...

Seems like this Wild Arms character appears to not be as comical as I thought he would be, though I could be wrong. He seems to be interesting from the clips I watched.  :yes  Etta seems to be a cool character as well, though I'm not sure why negativity is suddenly being drawn to the voice. I mean, like everyone has already said, everyone is entitled to their personal opinions and beliefs, but why draw attention to the southern dialect? I'm used to said dialects, but maybe it's because I grew up on country music and I've heard many of Reba's hit songs, so perhaps it's just me.  ;)

Anyways, as far as "Hot and Stinky" goes...again, why the horridness? It's actually very catchy. Probably taking my vote as my favorite song in the movie, though we've yet to hear two other songs, so I've yet to make it official. Through its' catchiness, however, comes the obvious fact that new songwriters, in my opinion, are needed, particularly in the musicality of it. I'd like to see new styles (Broadway, 80's rock, Carpenters, etc.), new tempos, maybe more ballads, whatever the case may be, I'd love to see that happen. But then again, you can't have everything in a franchise targeted to 3-7 year olds rather than those in the 18-34 audience.  ;)

Finally, to comment on vonboy: I certainly can't wait for fresh new captions! Perhaps me and certain other members can do about a thousand more wee-wee jokes.  :lol

I'm liking what I see! I did notice some weird pauses inbetween dialogue in the clip where Spike finds the staircase. In fact, the background music in general seems oddly quiet in some places, so much so that it almost sounds like it's not there at all.

I love Etta so far-- she's a bit like Swooper. Actually, she's a lot like Swooper. I like how they seem to be touching on the idea of Littlefoot finally leading his friends into a situation that's too big for them to handle and feeling guilty about it-- it shows the sense of responsibility he feels as a leader and simply as their friend.

Glad to see Ruby and Chomper-- Ruby looks and sounds exactly the same, so a perfect transition from the TV series. Chomper's voice actor does a good job, but the design is a little funny in the shot we see him in. Looks like his head got a lot wider, I don't know. I know the new voices for Grandpa Longneck and Topsy are a bit jarring but it's better to take them as they are instead of trying hear if they match the old ones. I also agree on the brightness thing, and was it me, or did the Great Valley seem really empty in that shot? I know this is probably a family issue, but I'd've expected a rock circle meeting for this kind of thing.

Hot and Stinky, I gotta admit, I don't really like. For now, anyway-- it's too soon to tell. I don't think it's the lyrics so much as the music-- it sounds too simple, and combined with the cheery animation it just didn't seem catchy to me. I don't quite find it funny either since it's so one-note. But, hey, it's just one song, and Look For the Light will probably more than make up for it. I also don't like the fact that they're adding those little slide whistle sounds whenever someone falls-- was that ever there before?

But anyway, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Can't wait till it comes out!

Yes one of the positive things I can say about the film is that me and you will have a wide choice of scenes to cap and making more toilet humour, mild rude humour, pop culture references etc .

Plus it will give me ideas for new Bambo scenes too. I already thought of one for the hot and stinky scene.

Ooh, ooh, new clips! I love these new clips!

I also don't understand the negativity towards Reba's Southern accent. As if there weren't stereotypes before, like someone else said. At least she's no Yellowbelly from what we've seen, you gotta give her credit for that. In fact, she personally reminds me a bit of Archie (and not just because of the cave-in backdrop). As for the discussion about her color scheme, I find it okay, and I don't see what's missing in there.

I think "Hot and Stinky" isn't as bad as some people are saying, but I actually wouldn't give it an easy thumbs-up either. Maybe when I get the DVD and hear out the song again on my own time, I probably might come to like it. But for now, it's all "okay" for me.

Grandpa Longneck and Topsy. ... ... ... Their voices are okay, but it's obviously gonna take some time to get used to them.

Still no address to the issue of whether this film takes place before or after the TV series, since Chomper and Ruby are there without the adults reacting in any way. Something tells me it might be set after the series, since Ruby tells Chomper that they should follow the adults without letting them know, implying that the adults already have a level of concern towards their well-being. That obviously doesn't prove much of anything, but it's an unshakable feeling.

I find this new art to be a bit awkward for me, but I guess I'll get used to it.

Despite any gripes I have with what I'm seeing, I'm still excited for this and can't wait till it comes out. :D

I don't mind the Gang's voices.  Cera even sounds higher pitched, like how she sounded in movies one through four.  Mr. Threehorn and Grandpa Longneck will take some getting used to, and I don't think Tresse MacNeille is in this film.  That's too bad 'cuz she has really done a good job as Mama Swimmer.

I don't mind the Gang's voices.  Cera even sounds higher pitched, like how she sounded in movies one through four.  Mr. Threehorn and Grandpa Longneck will take some getting used to, and I don't think Tresse MacNeille is in this film.  That's too bad 'cuz she has really done a good job as Mama Swimmer.
I'm only going to complain if they make Petrie's voice higher than it already is.  :lol

Post by: pokeplayer984 on January 24, 2016, 05:22:39 PM
Okay, I have seen the clips.  Time for my thoughts.

First off, I am very happy to have Aria and Andii back for the voices of Ducky and Cera respectfully.  As I have stated earlier, I just cannot see anyone else doing the voices these days.  I want to also add that if you give any negative feedback to me about their voice, it will be ignored.  I am that strong about it and will defend it that hard.

Next, did we get any confirmation as to whether or not Rob Paulsen is returning?  Because the voice of Spike is done quite well and I would recognize those grunts as Spike in a heartbeat.  Same goes with Chomper.  Sure, it was only one line, but it definitely sounds like the Chomper we know and love.

Petrie still works and he still has that grammar problem of his.  I wouldn't have it any other way. :D

Ruby... one line that works.  Both in her voice and the way she talks.

As for Littlefoot.  If this takes off and brings back the series, can we PLEASE not end up having yet another voice actor of this character leave due to puberty?  Look, it's the biggest problem I've had with Littlefoot.  This one works and it would be a shame to have it happen again.  I'm sick of it and I'm sure Universal is too.

Long time fans will definitely be able to tell that there's a difference in the voices of Topsy, Petrie's Mother and Grandpa Longneck.  I'm not sure if they work either.  I'm sorry, but I'm just not hearing those voices out of them.  I'm just not. :(

As for the song "Hot and Stinky".  Definitely different from what I was expecting.  It's catchy, but I don't think it'll catch on for me.

Also, the sharptooth they mentioned in the song.  I think I know who it is. ;)

Looking forward to what's to come to this movie.  Hope it goes well.

See ya later! :wave

Well, looks like Marzgirl is gonna do a review of this movie when it comes out. :)littlefoot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOVuca8dTaY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOVuca8dTaY)

She just started re-uploading all her previous reviews of the series, and when someone asked her why she took this long to put them back up, she said "Just saving it for when The Land Before Time XIV comes out, which is in another week or two." Looks like she's putting up a vid a day, till she gets to 14?

Um, what do you people think of this? I think it'll at least be a fun video to watch, even if she's obviously gonna just rip the movie a new one. Hopefully she'll at least kinda compare to the earlier sequels, and say if it's better/worse.

Not really sure about confirmation, but I am 110% confident that it's Rob Paulsen in the clips. If it is indeed not him, then I want this new voice actor to stick around if he's going to be a permanent replacement for whatever reason.

Never really watched Marzgurl's reviews-- I always worry that watching them will take away the enjoyment I get out of the movies. I know she literally says that she's trying not to do that in the comments of that link, but try and affect are two different things. I'm curious about seeing a review of 14, but ultimately I probably won't watch that either. I feel like I'm not missing much, anyway-- I like the Cinema Snob's view point that worrying too much about whether the movie you already enjoy is considered 'good' by other people is stupid.

After re watching it Hot and Stinky's much easier to swallow for me. I think it's just the new animation style that threw me off way more than the song. If anyone else here is having a hard time with it, I recommend listening to it without watching it-- that's what worked for me.

I didn't like Marzgirl's review of reviews of the films that much.. (Apart from her LBT 6 and 13 one) They were too bitchy and negative and unfunny. I mean sure I'd rant and rave a bit here and there if I reviewed the LBT movies. But I'd make some jokes and point out positive things too.

Who is this Marzgurl? She only has six thousand subscribers and hardly any significant views. Don't tell me she's the only person who really reviews TLBT on Youtube?!

This means there's a good niche to explore.

She used to be part of That Guy with the Glasses a few years ago, before it became Channel Awesome. She would usually review anime, but then decided to review everything Land Before Time related, and after that, a few of the other ealry Don Bluth films, and some stuff from another animator,too (Forgot who.)

But she left the site to work on her own, and I think shes lost some of her popularity. I haven't looked her recent work yet, but it looks like it's gone back to anime, and some video game stuff, too? Lol, she's all over the place. :p

Do you know Jeff Bennet actually did the voice of Spike in movie IV, sorry, VI, since Spike, sorry, Rob Paulsen, was working on Wakko's Wish? I wouldn't have guessed. Bennet can do Spike flawlessly.

And let's not forget they're both imitating Frank Welker, who voiced Spike in the original.  :smile

WARNING: Although they have been blacked out, THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS AND LINKS LEADING TO SPOILERS.

So... Universal's uploaded the first 10 minutes (http://www.uphe.com/movies/the-land-before-time-xiv-journey-of-the-brave) of the film to JOTB's page.

Uhh... I was so torn on whether to watch it or not but in the end I only watched the first bit (the opening narration), and WOW!

They actually tell the audience that Littlefoot's mother is dead! Within the first 2 minutes this film already has a strong reference to the original film. I am impressed! They also explain where Bron came from, and basically tell us what happened at the end of LBT 10.  I won't go into much else now since I don't really have time, plus if you want you can just watch it yourselves. :p But yeah, so far, it looks promising!

Post by: LoyfeCycleProtector on January 27, 2016, 02:14:41 AM
Whoa... that opening, those feels  :cry
Uh, also spoilers, I guess.







They pulled that off really really well, actually. They gave a good, short summary of The Great Migration, introduced Bron to anyone who didn't know him, and explained how much Littlefoot wants to see his father.  And really, it's only once every year Bron comes around? Damn-- poor Littlefoot. Really makes you feel for him and how much these visits mean to him!

Oh, and I think this is the 4th time Littlefoot's mother is ever mentioned? Today's the Day works because the emotions behind it are well earned through the narration. And Littlefoot's voice actor does a damn good job at making Littlefoot sound really, really excited that his dad is coming home.

This exceeded my expectations by a wide margin! Only thing I'm a bit iffy on is Wild Arms. Maybe he'll grow on me, but right now I'm getting a bit too much 'yellowbelly' vibe off of him. Also looks like this does take place after the show, so we're not gonna get to see how Chomps and Ruby came to the valley. That's fine-- if this does well, maybe they'll show it in a future film!

That's really odd. The videos were there a few hours ago because I watched the whole thing in the end, but now they've disappeared on my end, too. The clip with the sharpteeth is one of two different clips that have been uploaded to the Facebook page. There was a section in between the synopsis and 'Find out more' section which held all of the clips that had been uploaded to YouTube as well as the 10 minute preview. I don't know what's happened since then but I've checked on my phone, and different browsers on my laptop. They just simply aren't there any more... for me, anyway. :p Maybe the website's having issues.

If anyone desperately wants to know what happens in the first 10 minutes send me a PM and I'll try my best to get back to you before the weekend.  :yes

Post by: Dalekdino on January 28, 2016, 07:01:41 AM
I've just seen the clip of Littlefoot and co hiding from the 2 sharpteeth. And one thing in that clip (and that other clip were Petrie fainted) that really bugged me was the use of cartoony sound effects....
If their trying to make up for the bull sh** from LBT 13 and the TV then this is defiantly the wrong move. It's bad enough they used silly sound effects here and there in earlier films, but from what I've seen this film has more silly sound effects then any other.
And in my opinion silly sound effects don't go with LBT. They can be ok if there used subtly in actually comical scene. But in that clip they were hiding from meat eaters, it should have been scary and suspenseful.  I mean imagine if say the first movie had silly sound effects when Littlefoot's mum is fighting off Sharptooth? It would ruin the scene!
There's more to kids media then silly sounds!

If I were the big chesses of the film I'd fire the sound editor for that.

Sorry to be soo negative. But I have a gut feeling I'm gonna be very disappointed with this new movie judging from what I've seen and heard so far... Just like I was with other personal media related disappointments, like Red Dwarf back to earth, Jurassic Park 3, The phantom menaces or the dr who episode Asylum of the daleks...
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: somerandomfangirl on January 28, 2016, 09:29:29 AM
Uh, spoilers I guess? :p

Sorry to disappoint you, but if the first 10 minutes are any indication, then cartoony sound effects are going to be used a lot in this film. It does sound out of place, but I thought it was quite funny that they decided to use them. Plus, compared to the rest of the film, the sound effects are really a small thing. They're there, but it's really not something to be upset about. The film itself looks like a huge step up from the last film, the animation is pretty good for a direct-to-DVD movie, and for me there were more 'feels' in the opening narration alone than from most other LBT movies - which is certainly a big plus. Wild Arms is one thing I'm still unsure about, as he does seem almost as crazy as the yellowbellies, but I don't really mind since it looks like he's not going with the gang and so won't be an in-your-face-all-the-time character like the yellowbellies were.

With this being the first LBT film in 8 years, and with a completely different set of people working on it, we have to expect a few changes. Some we'll like and some we won't, but we just gotta roll with it. I'm just happy that we're getting something else to end the series on that isn't Wisdom of Friends, and I can safely say that JOTB is already a big improvement on that. Also, those that have started posting reviews of JOTB have said some good things so far, so I'm keeping my hopes up.

Anyways, I have some good-ish news. My phone still had a tab up of the webpage from yesterday that hosted the clips, and I managed to get the 10 minute preview to work again! I have managed to record it... unfortunately since it was on my phone I had to use my camcorder, so the quality isn't the best and there's a lot of camera-shake because the camcorder kept slipping and I was holding my phone up (I'm not the professional recording type :lol ).

Awesome, thanks! For what is is, it's actually pretty good quality :D

Hmmm, it's interesting so far. Now we've heard, or at least heard teasers of, three out of four of the listed songs. This one kind of sound like something out of My Little Pony  :p

Not really a big fan of the 'narrator recap,' there are a lot of more effective ways to get information across. Ah well, I guess I can put up with it :smile

As for Wild Arms... Yeah he pretty much strikes me as what would happen if Guido and one of the Yellow Bellies had a kid :lol

Hey guys, remember when we were debating whether the 'We'll never make it through!" line was said by Ruby or Cera? Well... I found the answer. (http://www.toonzone.net/2016/01/clip-the-land-before-time-journey-of-the-brave-coming-exclusively-to-walmart-on-february-2-2016/) I've noticed lately that people are linking to clips and reviews a lot on Twitter, so I've been keeping an eye on it.

Also, one more day to go!  :)littlefoot

Same here. There's no Walmart near where I live -- my home town's city council actually voted against the construction of one a few years ago. I'll still buy the DVD. Heck, I would have already if Walmart's website didn't keep giving me an error message whenever I try to use my Paypal account to place an order.

Looking at the trailer again, I do hope Ruby and Chomper are given more screen-time than glorified cameos. I'm also bracing myself for the new voices for Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn. Kenneth Mars and John Ingle were the voices of my childhood...

It will be an adjustment hearing the new voices for Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn. Kenneth Mars and John Ingle were two of my favorite voice actors from my childhood; they've been voicing those two characters for so long that I feel like their voices are what made the characters come to life.

I just watched it. I was NOT expecting it to be that good. Really caught me off guard. Animation was spotty in some areas but they really made this one feel like a comeback for the series. I'd have to say this is probably the best LBT sequel since LBT5. The songs were also good, some of the action scenes actually carried some suspense to them, and whoever did the backgrounds deserves a raise. For a direct to video cartoon sequel, its as good as you're gonna get these days imho.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 02, 2016, 02:04:08 PM
Highlight for spoilers.

I am not going to lie here.  This was not a great movie.  Yet, none of us were expecting that.  In fact, we set the bar pretty low, especially after what happened with the last movie. *shudders*

However, it feels more like Universal was looking to make a SOLID movie over a great one.  Everyone just went in, made sure the lines worked, did their job right, got paid and went home.  After that, they hoped for the best.

With this one, we get what we expect out of the sequels.  A plot that drives the gang to go out of the valley, the journey to get there, a few comedy relief characters and some songs along the way.  Yet, it feels like they decided to do a different approach with all those elements.

The extra characters usually have a good chunk of screen time and end up being a large focus to interact with the gang.  However here, the extra characters aren't the main focus.  The gang we know and love is and the movie gets that.  The extra characters are only in there if they need to be for the plot to move along and that's it!

For example, Wild Arms tells them what happened when Littlefoot's Dad doesn't show up with the herd he leads.  Turns out, on their way, they were passing by Fire Mountain and it just happened to choose that time to blow.  Bron stayed behind to ensure everyone got out safe.  However, the earth separated and Bron was left behind, trapped by the erupting volcano.  Next, when Littlefoot asks Wild Arms to find Bron, Wild Arms tends to quickly explain the direction they would take to get there and refuses.  After that, he pretty much remains off-screen in the valley for a good chunk of the movie.  It's only after the gang has left to find Bron that Wild Arms returns.  He's forced to lead the adults to find the gang because the adults forced him to.  It's not long until he faints from freight (from seeing Chomper) and is forced to be carried by Topsy.  After that, Chomper leads them with his nose.

Etta is mainly given a role in the last leg of the journey to give Littlefoot some encouragement and because she knows how to get there.  In fact, she was there when Fire Mountain blew it's top and saw what happened to Bron.  Turns out, Bron had to go back for Wild Arms.  Turns out the little guy is a coward.  It's Wild Arms' fault that Bron ended up trapped by the Fire Mountain, albeit unintentionally.

The majority of the movie is spent with the gang and the journey they take to get there.  Frankly speaking, we wouldn't have it any other way.  It's what the movie should be about and this movie gets that.  It's a solid entry that knew what it was meant to do and does it.  It's not looking to be great, it's looking to be solid and this movie accomplishes that.

There's a few sound effects that feel off to have in the LBT Universe and at times the personality of the characters feels off, but there's really not much else that is bad with this movie.

Don't go in expecting greatness out of this one.  It's nothing more than a solid movie that's entertaining.  I will say that it's at least better than 13 was and that's what we hoped for.  If we end here, I'd be satisfied.

Oh, and we have a few new entries for the glossary now.

Sand Cloud = The clouds you see when a sandstorm is approaching.
Stinkweed = Leafy plants that smell.

Well, there ya all go!

I'll see ya later! :wave

I loved it! Only two things really bugged me-- one was that the animation seems to have taken a bit of a turn for the worse. The second is that we never got word of Shorty.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but the Carnataur sounds were LITTERALLY the same ones as the T. Rex boss from The Lost World Jurassic Park arcade shooter.

I've had a look around too, and I can't find anywhere to buy JOTB here in the UK, either DVD or digitally. I was only able to watch it by finding a way to get into the US version of Netflix and watch it that way, but it looks like international fans of the series are going to be left out in the dark until... well, I don't know when. Hopefully Universal will let us know when the DVD comes out elsewhere, and the film will get an international release with that. Still, it's a real pain. :(

As I wrote in the spoiler-free thread, I enjoyed the new movie quite a bit. It actually surprised me with how good it turned out - especially the art direction. Those were some genuinely stunning backgrounds - the texture of them added a charming richness to the art. On the other end of the quality spectrum, the CGI effects were questionable at best, but the animators thankfully didn't use them much. Maybe my standards have become more forgiving from having to endure how mediocre Dragon Ball Super looks a lot of the time, but the animation pleased me for the most part.


MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD


Even though Ruby and (especially) Chomper are two of my favorite characters, I liked that the original gang of five were the central focus of the film. It felt more nostalgic that way. At the same time, I'm glad the writers gave the newer gang members a noteworthy role in the story. Chomper was as adorable and charming as ever - and it seems he's grown a bit since we last saw him. He at least looked bigger next to Ruby than he did during the TV series, though that might have been just an artistic license the character designers took, rather than a deliberate way to make him look older.

The new characters made good impressions. Wild Arm's frantic, self-centered antics were amusing and I liked Etta's sense of humor. For a moment those lizards Petrie ran into stole the show for me too. I always love tiny creatures with tons of energy. The science geek in me also appreciated the feathered dinosaurs. Their modern designs don't fit perfectly alongside the older characters, but I'll take what little scientific accuracy I can get when it comes to a cartoon. I appreciate that the staff put in that extra effort when they could have easily side-stepped the feathers entirely like Jurassic World recently did.

In the grand tradition of the Land Before Time series, the movie introduced a new natural disaster for Littlefoot and his friends to survive. The Sand Cloud was a nice touch. On a side note, I still find it hilarious how disaster-prone the Great Valley and surrounding areas are. Littlefoot's mother conveniently left that detail out when she was advertising the place. :lol:

I'm just adding this post in, without reading any of the recent posts in this thread, as I've heard there's spoilers in here now, and I haven't gotten to watch the movie myself yet.

I was interested in seeing how the movie was selling at the wal-mart I work at, so last night I looked up about the movie on one of the stores work computers in the backroom, and I was kinda disappointed at what I saw. :(

We've only sold 1 copy at our store in the about 2 days that's it's been out now. I'm gonna look at it again next week. Hopefully it actually sells some over the weekend or something. This is just speculation, but I'm guessing the people who actively wanted it on release, just pre-ordered it online, so that might be why we've only sold one in the store.

Anyway, it also said we had about 60ish in stock (Don't remember the exact number) and 20 more is on order at the moment.

I'm really interested in seeing how this movie is selling, so I'll let you guys know what I find the next time I try looking it up. I know this'll be very anecdotal, only having sales from 1 store, but it might be fun to see anyway.  :yes

I definitely think this was the worst movie so far.  It was freaking BORING as heck.  The lines were beyond cheesy.  "Oh, let's walk over here."  ***Pause for no dramatic effect whatsoever***  Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk, Walk, Stop.  The script was like a bad fanfiction and all the characters were out of character.  It was like a 20 minute TV episode stretched into almost an hour and a half.  In other words, painful.  It was painfully obvious that the writers didn't care about making a good story, and it felt like they were forcing stuff from the old movies into places where they didn't belong.  Like Ducky and Ruby's way of speaking.  They used to speak like that only occasionally and for a purpose.  Now it's just thrown in there for no reason whatsoever.  Ruby used to sound witty and funny.  Now she sounds almost retarded.  I had to try not to hold it against her because it was the writer's fault.  

And Grandpa Longneck and Threehorn's voice actors were absolutely terrible.  They would have been better off picking a woman or some random dude off the street for the voices.  You can barely understand them.  It sounds like they've got something stuck in their throat.

I know this review sounds harsh and I am still a big Land Before Time fan.  But this movie had so many issues I can't even count them all.  I'm sad to say that this movie was BELOW expectations, and my expectations had already been set very, VERY low by The Wisdom of Friends.  But I'd rather watch the 13th movie again than this trash.  

HOWEVER, I will watch this movie again in the next few days to review it again and see if my opinion of it changes the second time around.  However, I'm not hopeful.

I have no idea what happened to them, but I noticed in this film that:

1. Mama Swimmer was not around the hatchlings.
2.  Ducky spoke and ran around as soon as she hatched, but not these guys.  What gives?

On a funny note, I thought the one who chomped down on Petrie's beak was histerical😂.

So what was everyone's favorite scenes? Of course I thought the scene where Ruby and Chomper come out from behind the rock was adorable-- especially with that music-- but I also really liked Wild Arms. Way more than I ever thought I would, in fact. I mean I saw the 10 minute preview and I got a sinking feeling in my stomach when he showed up, but he turned out to be really funny and nowhere near the annoyance that I thought he'd be!

I had the exact same problem; I wanted to buy the movie on DVD on its release date. I had to buy the movie on iTunes and watch it through my computer. It would have been nice to get the DVD at Walmart since buying stuff online can be a major pain in the butt if the internet is slow.

I honestly completely agree with you on this, Hardback. It's especially weird given how they took their time and gave a really fleshed out opening. The ending felt like they had plans to do more but ran out of money to do it.

Eh, I was fine with the ending. It felt like a fitting place to wrap up the movie. What else could they have shown, anyway? Saving Bron was the story's climax, and there weren't any loose ends left to explore afterwards. Not any that I remember, at least. Besides that, all the characters who actually mattered in the movie were already gathered in one place at the end, making the need to see them return to the Great Valley even less important.

Oddly enough, the fleshed-out opening was probably my least favorite part of the movie - at least the scenes with the narration. It went on and on, and all I could do was shout in my head, "Show don't tell! Show don't tell! Show don't tell!" It was too much, even when taking the intended audience's age into account.

Well, they were probably just trying to inform people who hadn't seen ALL the previous movies-- which probably make up a sizeable proportion of the audience. If someone hadn't seen film ten before they'd be confused as to why Littlefoot suddenly has a father in this film when he didn't in any of the others they might have seen. Plus there were probably a bunch of young kids for whom this will be their first Land Before Time movie, and that information did need to be shared.

I had gotten my copy in the mail at last.  I will point out one thing I am disappointed with.  The DVD has only one option for audio and subtitles.  This being English.  It is a crying shame they are neglecting the Spanish speaking customers of the US.  Some to this day have difficulty adjusting to English and give up.  They are neglecting quite the fanbase for this.  It is quite sad in the end.

Anyways, I will soon have a solution for those who can't see the movie yet.  Please be patient.

Actually Weirdraptor, the US does not have an official language, nor an official religion. " this " speak English!' requirement flies against our country's founding upon respect for people whatever their personal religious beliefs or native language. Martin Van Buren, our 8th president, was not a native English speaker, he spoke Dutch and was of Dutch heritage. john F Kennedy had to deal with lots of anti-Catholic sentiment before his election, and remains the only Catholic to be elected president. We have people in this country from just about every nation on Earth, and hundreds of different languages. and we should not force people, as was done with the native peoples, to learn English in place of their native tongue. Being bilingual is great.

Well that came out of nowhere... Off-topic much? :DD Plus I have to add that some people use movies and cartoons to practice their listening skills in a language they're learning and to expand their vocabulary. It's not just about immigrants and such. Personally I never buy DVDs that don't at least have Russian, English and Spanish dubs included.

I completely agree.  Expecting everyone else in the country to adapt to whatever language a foreigner speaks is disrespectful and a waste of resources.  When American's travel abroad, a lot of them expect foreigners to speak English, and that's disrespectful too.  If you want to visit a country and CERTAINLY if you expect to live in a country, you need to adapt to the local customs and at least try to speak as much of the native language as you can.  English may not be the native language, but the VAST majority of the country speaks it, and that's the language you'll find on advertisements and signs throughout the country.  Besides, every other immigrant including the French, German, Italian, etc. have learned English.  It's not unreasonable to expect current and future immigrants to do so as well.

Well, that's very rude and uncalled for. Sure, you have to learn English if you're immigrating to the U.S., but what if people are just more comfortable with speaking Spanish than English? Hence the necessity for the option of Spanish audio and/or subtitles.

I'm sorry to say that if Universal hasn't decided to release it in your country, your only option is to pirate it.  It's absolutely ridiculous that movie studios release a movie to some countries and not to others because they want to charge different prices to everyone.  It's like we're still stuck in the 1990's.  The world has moved on and if they don't move with it, they're going to lose a LOT of money.  I haven't pirated the movie (I watched it on Netflix then I bought it), but I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere.

EDIT:  I just looked around for it on torrent sites, but it's not available anywhere.  I'm sorry but I won't upload this movie.  I pirate a LOT of stuff, but I don't want it to hurt Universal.  You're just going to have to wait until either they release it in your country or someone else uploads a torrent.  I don't know if Netflix will allow you to get it in your country (my guess is no), but it's available on Netflix here in the U.S.

There are people re-selling the film on Ebay, if you want to give that a try.  You would just need to have a region-free DVD player.

Just took a look at George Ball (Topsy)  and Barry Bostwick's (Grandpa Longneck) wiki and IMDB pages.

And WOW, apparently George Ball was in General Hospital, just like John Ingle was. O_o

Barry was Thunderbolt in 101 Dalmatians 2, and he was also Grandpa Clyde Flynn in Phineas & Ferb, but I never really watched that show. :p

First up, spoilers in this post.

Well, finally got to see the movie myself. Got the movie in the mail a day late, but at least I got it.

My bar going in was movie 13, and I'm glad to say it's a lot better than that... thing.

The animation was pretty good, I think. Haven't seen any of the other sequals in quite a while, so can't really compare unless I see them side by side. THe backgrounds were really nice, like others have said, and while I hated the CG, they at least didn't use a lot of it.

Yeah, the voices for Grandpa and Topsy are really weird, but I don't see what they could have done about it. Especially Grandpa's original voice was very unique, and hard to impersonate. It was either trying to find new Voices for them, or not having them speak at all, and both options suck really. :sducky

I was kinda pleasantly surprised that they got right to the chase, and got the gang on their journey pretty quickly. I know about the first 10 or so minutes were slow, especially the first 5 with all the narration, but like a previous member said, it was kinda necessary to explain a few things that people not seeing some of the sequels needed to know, especially since it's been 8 years since the last movie.

And yeah, Shorty not being mentioned at all was weird. Oh well, Chomper probably had some longneck steaks when nobody was looking. :lol

Speaking of him, I would have loved for Chomper and Ruby to have more screen time, but I understand they wanted to focus on the Gang for most of it. It's great to see they fixed Chomper's design, what with the 2 fingers instead of three, and his voice was pretty good.  Really loved Wild arms meeting Chomper. Always love it when characters meet the friendly sharptooth, as it's usually very awkward and funny. :D

I hope we keep seeing Ruby and Chomper in any possible future movies. I mean, they now live in the valley, and it's evident with them being in this movie that Universal's not just gonna forget that.

Wow, didn't even talk about the new characters yet. I guess I found them both not horrible or anything. They were both funny, and it was nice that they weren't overused. I would have HATED Wildarms if he was used as much as, say the yellowbellies were, but he was only in it enough to not piss me off. And I liked Etta's attitude and personality. Loved her mentioning a friend that stuck his head in a sharptooth's mouth to save somebody, but isn't around anymore, since he, well, put his head in a sharptooth's mouth! :lol

So, I did kinda like this movie, and I hope it sells enough to warrant more movies after this. :DD

Let me start with this
(https://40.media.tumblr.com/c5111333006e7a3567eec287c857b1b4/tumblr_o27dw2Mg2a1rfuylgo1_500.png)
I don't know how I managed to be both charmed and horrendously annoyed by Wild Arms, but it happened. He might share some colors with Pterano in terms of self-preservation, but even he'd call him out on leaving children in danger for it.
The moment he showed up, I immediately thought "Oh noooooo."

What even is he anyway?

Etta was a little different than I expected, but I'll still shriek, "All aboard" for shipping her with Pterano. Ship name Pteretta?
"I had a sister who would do anything for her friends. Once she stuck her head in a Sharptooth's mouth for one. Of course, she's not around anymore..."
Now THAT was morbid for a very, very late LBT sequel  :lol .
She was sweet as I hoped, though in a different way than I expected. I was expecting a southern country mom type character (she IS voiced by Reba after all), but I didn't expect the family stories and forgetfulness.

She could have easily been replaced with Pterano in this setting though, since part of the story was about reuniting with family. Maybe played by Maurice LaMarche considering Michael York's health these days. If they wanted a flier in the Mysterious Beyond, why not use him?

Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Dalekdino on February 08, 2016, 07:57:50 AM
Ok I've seen the film and here are my thought.
Warning this will be very opinionated and I may go on a bit..

Well I will say LBT 14 was no Jurassic world or Star War the force awakens.
I was quite disappointed I was hoping they'd lean from past sins but they went and made new one. Though to be fair it wasn't nearly as bad as LBT 13 or 6 my personal least favourite in the franchise.

First off my main problem with the film was the use of silly cartoon sound effects. There were FAR too many and make the film look like a feature length generic Saturday morning cartoon. Every time I heard a silly sound I'd ever roll my eyes or say "Oh for God sake!"  If I made a drinking game of every cartoon sound in the film I'd be dead after the first 20 min!
I think the worst was the pin ball machine sound effect that played when Petrie bounced off some adult flyers.
In my opinion silly sound effects just don't work with LBT. I mean imagine if the other films had silly sounds in  say when Littlefoot's mum fight's Sharptooth, or when Chomper's parents chase the gang, Or when the Great valley residents escape the fire, or when Cera fell in the river and Ali saves her from Dil, or the fight with Chomper's parent's and the plated Sharptooth. Hell that scene had flesh tearing sound effects!
Universal if you want to do better then NO CARTOON SOUND EFFECTS!!
It's the land before time not the Flintstones!

Also there was no sign of Shorty not that I'm complaining I don't like him but still, continuity thrown out the window again. And if the infamous LittlefootAndAliTogether were still here he'd be having a major tantrum about him not been in the film, I know he likes Shorty too well cause he did a long arse whiney rant at me when I said I didn't like him..
I personally was unhappy that Tria and Tricia were nowhere to be seen, if they do make more films I hope they appear in them. As I'll be very pissed and sad if they've forgotten that Cera now has a step mum and half sister..
Another continuity error is that Bron's herd in LBT 10 was long necked dinosaurs only. But now it has hadrosaur's , styracosaurus and Wild arms in it..    

Next up Wild arm. Ok one word. ANNOYING!with a capital A.  I found him annoying the moment I saw him, one of the most annoying characters in the franchise in my books. Not to mention the fact the most of the silly sound effects came from him.
Thank GOD! He didn't go with Littlefoot and the others.

Etta was ok but I fond her stereotypical Texas accent pretty annoying.

The animation was ok far better then the TV show. But the CGI in some part were awful! And just a small nit-pick but I noticed and bugged me was Cera's eyelids were the wrong colour, Throughout the whole movie. Normally in the past films there light yellow like the rings around her eyes, but in this film her lids were orange making her look like she's wearing monocles. Been eagle eyed with mistakes and been on my favourite character I found it very distracting.

I also got a real  Deja vu feel from the scene were Littlefoot fell out with the others and they split up.. Yeah like that's never happened before. Way to be original universal.
Also that stupid scene were those annoying tiny digger dinosaurs  think Petrie is a leader and prise him. That's only one of the most done to death clichÈs in kids media. I mean it happened to Spike in the TV show too.  

Then there's the voice cast.. Grandpa long neck's new voice was very poor and sounded NOTHING like Kenneth Mars at all and sounded too young more like a middle aged man then a old man.
At least Topsy's new VA was trying to imitate John Engle.
And another problem I had was them still hiring Ducky and Cera's current VA's. I know I've said this loads of time, and that I'm out voted on the topic and that others say they can't see anyone else voicing them.
 but I still stand by it to this day, and always will not matter what other people tell me..
Cera and Ducky need recasting with kid actresses.
In this movie they both sounded just as forced to sound child like as ever to me.
And I also know from the video I saw Aria and Anndi would understand if they were to be recast as that's life for actors.
But by the looks of thing's their suck with the rolls until the day they die.

Now for the song, I actually didn't mind then except for one, and that was Hot and stinky. Or hot and sh***y as I like to call it.
Seriously this to me was the worst and most embarrassing song since oops eeps..
It sounded like a song you'd hear in sesame street or Dora the explore.
Was that scene even worthy of a song, it was just the gang covering their smell with pond weed.  
And they just had to re-play the song in the credits... -_-

And this was just wishful thinking.
But I was kinda hoping they'd reuse some of the 1st movie music by the late James Horner.
But no.. I wish the films still used it.
It would be a nice tribute if they reused the music in any future LBT movies as James Horner is no longer with us.
Still the film did reuse some of my favourite sequel music.

I also don't get why Chomper and Ruby were soo underplayed. Their members of the gang now so why not have them come along with them!?



And I find the ending was kinda rushed. I was hoping there'd be a final show down with the carnotaurus after they recused Bron.

And Bron was hardly in the film too.

We didn't even see if they got back to the great valley ok.

I was even hoping the film would maybe have Bron come back to stay as a main character and live with Littlefoot and he and his herd steal down in the great valley..


On the whole I don't think the film was all that good and won't be re-watching it any time soon.

The writers and producers etc clearly didn't but much effort into it or to make things better.
No to me they made thing worse E.G. with said silly sound effects.

So sorry to be negative but I was pretty disappointed with the film.

I wasn't expecting something like the first movie , but at least something like the Roy Allen Smith era.

Universal (I know they'd never really do this) should  really let us fans come up with ideas for new LBT movies and work on the production.
Hell I'd do it for free as long as I get coffee and a doughnut..


Well with all that said, at some point soon I'm gonna recover from this disappointment, by re-watching an old childhood friend.

That ben LBT 4, my top favourite sequel.

I wouldn't consider this a continuity error.  Let's not forget that this takes place AFTER LBT 10.  Maybe the non-longnecks are ones that joined him AFTER those events.  Just speculating.

Yes.. I was meant to say something like that, but forgot to put it in.
Yeah maybe over time Bron now exspets other types of Dino's in his herd.

wow, you're fast. I was gonna put it up myself. :p

I went on her Patreon to see it about a day early to see it, and I was waiting for it to be put out for everyone before linking it.

Anyway, I was very surprised by her review, honestly. Now, yes, she did still have tons of bad things to say about the movie, just like in her reviews of the other movies years ago, but she actually makes some concietes here.

She actually calls this movie one of the best sequals, saying it seemed like somebody in the company actually cared about the movie, and fought for it to not be completely dumbed down, and for elements of original movie to be put in (Such as Littlefoot and Cera's falling out, some similarities with the sharptooth chase scenes, ect.)

She still called the movie bad overall, and she wants this to be the end of the franchise, but not for the same reason as she had before. She sees this as about the best Universal can pull off with a direct to DVD movie, and unless they wanna do a theatrical release, she wants the series to at least end on a kinda high note, instead of the lowest note possible with Wisdom of Friends.

So, yeah. Wondering what Pokeplayer thinks of this :p

I knew she would put it out eventually.  In truth, I am surprised by her reaction to it.  I mean, I did expect her to not like the movie, but I did not expect her to also give it some praise.  Then again, maybe it's the fact that it's been five years since she last involved herself with the franchise and has had time to reflect on her thoughts of the other sequels.

Yeah, now that she points it out, I do notice the elements of the first movie in it.  They would have probably skipped by me completely, but there they are.  Sure, it's never going to tug on your heartstrings like the original.  I don't expect any of the sequels to.  However, it is there.  It just goes to show that someone in there cared.  It's also why I need to say something.

Since I saw it, I was trying to figure out what kept me from hating it.  I am not blind to the flaws.  I see them all.  I see the obvious CG, but the animation is SO smooth that it hardly matters.  I see the personality flaws, but they make the plot work so well.  I hear the cartoon-like sound effects, but I can't seem to care about that.  None of the songs are great, but they're good enough to not be terrible.  All of it, along with the cameo parts of the first film, tells me one thing and I'm glad Marzgurl helped me figure it out.

It's because I can respect it.  It's why I'll NEVER hate this one.  I respect it because SOMEONE CARED!

Whoever this person was, I know what they are going through.  The company is looking to do anything to ruin it, but you are the only one who cares it seems enough to do what you can.  You can't save it.  You know that, but you are willing to do what you can to salvage it.  You know it won't be great, but who cares?  You care enough to make sure it doesn't come out as not a complete pile of crap.  In the end, you do everything you can to make that happen.

Much of whom worked on this may not have cared, but someone did.  I respect them for caring enough to salvage what could have been a terrible film.  Whoever you are, thank you for making this a solid movie.

And thank you, Marzgurl for helping me see that.

You know for ones... I actually agree with MarzGurl.. She disliked all the same things as I did in the film. Mainly the hot and stinky song, and the goofy cartoony sound effects.

Weird. I don't remember these cartoon sound effects people are talking about at all. I knew about them before watching the movie, but I flat-out didn't notice any that stood out. Guess I'll have to listen for them when I watch the movie again tonight.

I also don't get why Chomper and Ruby were soo underplayed. Their members of the gang now so why not have them come along with them!?

I imagine the filmmakers wanted to give the original gang of five most of the focus, to make the movie feel more reminiscent of the other ones.

That, and having fewer characters on screen likely helped them save money on animation.  :DD

I'm curious what you mean by this, pokeplayer. The only personality flaws I noticed in the film were the ones that the characters have always had to a certain extent. Stuff like Littlefoot always wanting to be the leader and Cera complaining about various things. These flaws make them who they are. Without them, they'd be rather boring to watch.

Minor spoilers!

Even though I haven’t been active for a long time, I’d like to share my thoughts on the movie.
First of all, I really liked it, well mostly. JOTB was the best sequel since 7 and perhaps the second best sequel overall.

On the first view time, I had more problems with this, but on the second time they didn’t feel as bad.

The story was pretty solid and worked well. Perhaps not the most complex but should it be?

The animation was interesting: mostly it was great but sometimes really awkward, especially the CGI. I’m very glad that Universal got as great animator as Ruben Aquino as directing animator. Plus the backgrounds were amazing.

I actually liked every song. My favorite one was probably Today’s the day though Look for the Light was very good too. The two others were nice, nothing great, but four solid songs were a positive surprise.

The voice actors mostly did an awesome job. Ball and Bostwick weren’t as good as Ingle and Mars but they were okay. Avitia was one of the best Littlefoots to date.

I really liked Etta: she had a good role and I liked her personality. I was very concerned about Wild Arms but he turned out okay: usually I hate purely comic characters but he wasn’t that bad.  Personally I dislike Tria and Tricia so their absence was a great relief.

I actually had only two major problems with the movie. First were the lizards: they were terrible. Watching the movie, I felt that they were the last thing we needed.  Luckily their brief screen time prevented any major damage.

The other thing was the ending. It was rushed and unbelievable. Bron has been lying on a rock, middle of lava for days, his leg apparently injured and then he just runs away after cooling the lava with water? Ugh. Also, Shorty’s absence was strange but nothing that bothered me too much.

I’m really puzzled by the comments on sound effects. After two viewings, I still remember none.
Overall, a very good film. I’d give it 8/10.

I've finally managed to watch it last night. I must confess my expectations were pretty low, not because I thought it was going to be bad, but only to prevent myself from being disappointed. Luckily, Journey of the Brave was a very pleasant surprise, and it now ranks as my 7th favourite sequel of all time, on par with The Great Day of the Flyers.

The most important thing about this movie is that after almost 9 years we finally got to see a new story with our favourite gang. Most of us didn't believe it could ever happen, but it did. As another user said, someone cared enough about The Land Before Time to make another. And, whatever the result, it's always a great day when we get to revisit our friends and see them go through a new adventure.

Story wise, it's not that complex, it's a simple journey/rescue mission, with some shout outs to the original film, and some of the sequels. It's action is on point, although the sharpteeth in this movie were way too cartoony. I get it that they're trying to make the dinosaurs a bit more scientifically accurate, but giving them feathers when there were none before is just silly. They could've just stuck with good old T-Rexs and Raptors. Nobody watches TLBT to see the new Sharptooth.

The Carnotaurus design was just weird. I don't mind the grey colours, but they could've at least straightened out the horns.

The Hanna Barbera sound effects were a bit much, and very unnecessary, as was the CG, but thank goodness they didn't use much of it.

As for Shorty, I only realized he was missing after reading some of the comments. I don't really care for the character, but truth be told the plot didn't really need him, it would just add another subplot, and an extra character in an already crowded ensemble. Granted, if it was written well, we could've seen Shorty and Littlefoot grow as half-siblings, maybe it would make more sense for the two of them to be fighting, instead of Littlefoot and Cera, but then Cera wouldn't get enough screen time, and it wouldn't justify Littlefoot's friends leaving them.

Petrie and Wild Arms as comic reliefs were also on point. Especially seeing Petrie become King of those tiny dinos. Wild Arms was a bit much, but he didn't get a lot of screen time, which was a good choice on the director's part.

Etta was great. A bit reminisce of Archie from Journey through the Mists, but in a more comedic and helpful role.

The songs took a page out of the TV Series, and, apart from Look for the Light, served as plot devices and replacements for dialogue. It's not something we haven't already seen, so, even though I personally don't care for it, it's in the tone of TLBT sequels.

I really wished they drew Chomper with only two fingers. Is it just me or did he have 2 fingers in some scenes and 3 in others? I know the 3rd finger is drawn in a way that it's smaller and can hide like a thumb, but I think the artists just got it wrong.

Would've loved to see more of Ruby and Chomper, they were only thrown in there for fan service, but still, at least we got to see them again.

All in all, it's a good movie, and I believe it will do well in sales. I hope they start releasing it on DVD outside of the US as soon as possible.

Maybe we'll get to see a few more sequels, maybe not. But at least we got a better ending to the franchise than Wisdom of Friends.

Did any of you got the chills when "The Land Before Time" titled popped up in the opening sequence like I did? :)littlefoot

According to this list there were 22 DVD releases on February 2. LBT 14 was 5th of the new releases on the Nielsen chart, so it seems like it was 5th out of 22nd of the new releases.

Journey of the Brave is currently listed under "Top Picks for Kids" on Netflix. And on my account, it's the first one to show up on the horizontal scroll, before shows like Young Justice, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, Uncle Grandpa, The Garfield Show, Pokemon XY, and the 2015 Inspector Gadget cartoon.

Impressive streaming numbers are probably just as important these days as DVD sales, if not more so. If the movie does well, Netflix will no doubt gladly buy the broadcast rights for future ones, giving Universal a bankable Land Before Time revenue source.

Not out-of-character, but it annoyed me that Chomper was able to track their scent when we wasted so much screentime on stickweed and how it made their scents unsmellable.

Hmm, I thought it was the stinkweed made them just smell unappetizing? Just figured it was like the stinky grass in movie 5, that made Papa Sharptooth say something along the lines of "Anything that smells like that can't taste good, anyway." when he sniffed Spike.

Though I would have liked if they did something with it, anyway. Maybe have Chomper come to the stinkweed pool, and make some comment about it.

Yeah, I was expecting a scene where Chomper declares that he can't follow the gang's trace anymore and maybe later he would notice that the stinkweed couldn't have possible moved by itself and realize how Littlefoot and his friends went through the sharpteeth hunting grounds... But no, Chomper and Ruby were extremely downplayed in this movie. Understandable, although still a little disappointing. x(cera

I think the view on wether it was good or not, really depends on what bothers you about the series and what doesn't. On wether you liked them as kid or teenageer/younge adult or not.

For instance I am enjoys watching/listening to 2 fans viewpoints on LBT both are polar opposite in tone

one is Marzgirl- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9195WkB8BQ...3l8UU4QAMpAkUsU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9195WkB8BQ&list=PLejn4ifzJoEV59BqLD3l8UU4QAMpAkUsU)

The other is Alex Popp from the lbt squad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggns1zomB8E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggns1zomB8E)

and I agree with both, I highly recommend listening to both of them in their LBT reviews <3

****

I didn't like the sound effects.
I didn't like the voice acting for Toppie but I didn't care.
I didn't like the backgrounds- the previous movies were actually quite pretty.

And I found it all terribly predicable. I also hated that stinkysong.

 But they referenced the original movie, they animation of the main characters was on model, I bet they had those character models on file from the previous movies/show. And the voices of the main characters was good.

I also think that Bron should just live in the valley. His entire herd left him for dead, didn't even TRY to help him. Yet his little boy went all the way there to save him..........I would be so ANGRY if I was him and tell them all to get ....(swear word deleted).

If you have small kids they will love it, if you are in the mood for a sweet show you will love it.

But I found it a little bit......insipid....meh....boring...middling. It was a good try and I'm GLAD they made this film, but it won't be one I'll rewatch in a big hurry. And the songs weren't all that catchy either.

If you own the rest BUY IT. For no other reason than to encourage them to make more, it keeps the show alive and introduces a whole new generation to this. 30yr anniversary is coming up, that's AMAZING for a kids show. My only regret is that I was too old at age 13 for the 2nd movie, I wished they hadn't waited so long to do it after the first one.

I loved lbt so much that at age 8 I vowed to myself that when I grew up and got married I would walk down the isle to 'if we hold on together" and many years later I did! - last year infact :) And when/if I have babies I want them to enjoy this too. I had NO IDEA WHAT SO EVER that number 14 was coming out! I saw this movie on netflix BY ACCIDENT!!!! I was beside myself! I rang my husband and squeed down the phone to him. He made me wait until next morning before watching it because he wanted to see my face when I saw it *lol. It seriously made my day, month year and bought me back to the fandom that meant the most to me.

go and watch it, be in a GOOD MOOD when you do and I think you will enjoy it.

YES I noticed that right away. They made a whole song out of it!
The songs in this movie weren't my favorite, and usually the songs make or break the LBT sequel for me. Maybe once they're on YouTube and I can listen to them more they'll grow on me. There weren't any real deep ones this time, though. Maybe that last song about being apart, but I'll have to hear it again to see.

I must admit that my views on this film are decidedly mixed, but overall I would rate it as an average LBT sequel.  On the good side, the animation was well done, the new characters were suitably fleshed-out and not terribly annoying, two of the three songs that I remember were relatively good, Chomper and Ruby make an appearance, and we had some throwbacks to the original film.  On the down side, what the hell happened to Shorty?  Did Chomper eat him or something?  The song about the stinky plants was awful... and the falling out between Cera and Littlefoot (where even after the sandstorm she refused to look for him) almost made it seem like the 13 films of character development never happened.  And, as others have mentioned, the film ended quite abruptly.

So overall I would rate the film as average by LBT standards, though I would consider it a major improvement from the likes of LBT 11-13.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 15, 2016, 10:41:52 PM
Oh, and one thing I can respect this movie for over 13.  The fact the gang keep in mind that Sharpteeth have a strong sense of smell.  I always hated 13 for the way the Yellowbellies would "hide" themselves.  The Sharpteeth can still smell them.  JOTB kept that strong sense of smell aspect intact and had the gang think outside the box to try and avoid Sharpteeth.  Making yourself smell terrible is an excellent way to make yourself unpleasing to predators.

I'll always like Journey of the Brave more just because of what I CAN'T forgive Wisdom of Friends for.  Sorry, but Sharpteeth are meant to be predators with a strong sense of smell.  Disrespect that and it's instant hatred you get from me.

I know these movies usually don't respect science that much, and it's fine, but I'd just like to point out there's no way Bron could have survived being stuck on a rock and surrounded by lava for a couple days.

The lava would have kept the air just around it very hot, at least hundreds of degrees. There's a reason scientists have to wear those heat shielding suits whenever they get close to the stuff. It's like stepping into an oven. So, yeah, Bron would have cooked alive staying there for that long.

Too bad Chomper didn't tag along with the gang. He could have enjoyed some roasted longneck at least! :lol

Although there is still to be a release date for it over here yet, I managed to watch Journey of the Brave thanks to some helpful connections (thanks be to ye :D ) and honestly, for the most part I did really enjoy it. Is it perfect? Not by a long shot, but the minor niggles I had with bits and bobs here and there didn't overly distract me from the film. Anyway, here's my views on the movie.

Heads up for potential SPOILERS!! from here onwards. Thou hast been forewarned! We good? Cool...






The Good:

- Overall - It was par for the course. Animation was bright and slick. CGI effects were shoehorned in there and stood out like a drunken dad dancer at a ballroom competition because that's the industry's expectation now. Granted, background's didn't look as impressive as I've come to recognise but they worked for the most part. VO was great and thought the new voices for Mr Threehorn and Grandpa Longneck were OK. Let's face it, they're never going to be John Ingle and Kenneth Mars respectively but they made a good fit. Felix (grr brr...mumble something something- what's his name...) was pretty good as Littlefoot as was the new voice for Chomper and the songs were your usual mix of thematic "try to tie in to the current situation" Disney sing-a-long trope we've come to expect. Etta's "Look for the Light" ranks the top of the four songs (seeing as the woman is a professional singer...duh right?) and yes. Hot and Stinky was skin-crawling but I didn't find it nearly as unbearable as say "oops eeps".

- Links to previous movies - This might have been said already but I found myself thinking of quite a bit of theming linking back to the original LBT some ways. Some of the links might seem a bit tenuous, but I could help but get a few odd flashbacks to LBT #1. Little things like, Littlefoot hunting for a lost parent, Littlefoot spending a substantial portion of the movie on his own, heading towards a volcano as part of the route, Littlefoot and Cera arguing to the point of separating the group with exactly the same split; Littlefoot flying solo and the rest following Cera who ends up getting them lost, Littlefoot meeting a "life guide" when he seems to be at his lowest point. Even the scene when they fall asleep due to exhaustion, it made me think back to the first LBT movie (that beautiful piece where they sleep in the sharptooth footprint) where Littlefoot sleeps on his own (initially in #1) and the others gather around each other. I just seemed to find a lot of throwbacks to the first movie. Can't say if they were intentional but just something I noticed.

- Story - I actually quite liked the story. Yeah it's basic in plot and there are no major "I see dead people who don't know their dead" plot twists but that doesn't inherently make the movie bad (in my opinion). It's the typical "damsel in distress" tale we've seen and hear so many times, albeit the other way around kinda (take that gender inequality! :p) but the emotional attachment to it did strike a chord with me. Littlefoot's emotional turmoil to find Bron and see his friends safe at the same time resonated with me and even though I could predict the end before the title card flashed up, I still wanted to stick it out and enjoy the ride. The cause and effect and responses between the characters seemed believable and the emotions that ran through it felt genuine I felt.

- Comedy - Now I know this is gonna strike a vibe, either good or bad, with folks, but I genuinely found myself laughing at some of the goofy moments of the story (...shall I leave now?). Yeah the "Hot and Stinky" song was cringe-worthy but I actually found it stuck in my head a hell of a lot more than say "Yellow Belly Beat" from #13. And I think Petrie really stood out as a more of the comic relief this time around in what he did and said. It was weird but I really liked the "Diggers" scene with Petrie accidentally being elected their leader. It reminded me of the Mini sloths scene from Ice Age 2 albeit more cut back but I actually enjoyed it. And the end of that part with the next elected leader being chosen... I proper belly laughed at that dino's "WTF!" face.  :lol Please, rewatch that scene and just imagine those three words running through that dino's mind with that gormless expression. :DD

- New Characters - I genuinely liked Etta and Wild Arms. Both had unique traits and... well... characters... about them and I quickly latched onto them. I felt they seemed to compliment each other. Wild Arms was brilliant in his Wayans, over-the-top, screech like a hyper 5-year old way and Etta was calm and soothing but goofy enough to prevent her from being preachy or dead-pan. Compared to those...erm umm... other characters voiced by people we should know about *cough*, they were much more dynamic and their comedy was a little more natural. A good choice of VOs to give a new flavour to the already over-swelling cast of additional characters to the franchise. I liked 'em :D

The Bad

- Sound Design - Now I know this is a cartoon and cartoons have their own "physics" to their world depending on the series, but I just found the Looney Tunes, cannon, stock-source sound effects to be a bit jarring. Like the dizzy head shaking "ee-ei-ei-ei-ei-eh!" sound a character makes to clear their heads just broke the immersion for me a bit. In moments of extreme expression, e.g. Petrie dashing up into the trees to escape the Diggers, that bullet shot "pee-neeoww!" sound wasn't too bad, it fit the context of what was going on but that light and hollow "bonk" sound Cera makes when headbutting a rock just didn't go. LBT has always used a rich range of impressive and impacting sounds and imagery but the sound wasn't all there I found. Even the crashing footsteps of the giant and elder dinosaur, their steps sounded muted and less imposing than what was used before. It's a nit-pick but I do hear it and notice it every time. (Gawd...writing those onomatopoeias was a challenge :p)

- Chomper and Ruby - People might hate me for this, but Chomper and Ruby did not need to be in this movie... at all! Other than that one moment when Chomper confirmed that the elders were on Littlefoot and Co's trail, they had absolutely no other contributing factor to the film. They could have very easily written around that point seeing as they had Wild Arms to take them there. It's no more far-fetched than the lot of them finding Littlefoot and his friends where Bron was anyway. Chomper and Ruby felt like, and I hate myself for comparing two very likable characters in this way, *gulp* product placement (don't worry... I'll go iron my hands later... :( ). They were there for a throw away, "hi and bye" appearance but outstayed their welcome. There was no real reason for them to be there. Sorry guys, love ya in the TV series...but you didn't rank here for me. And I'm kinda hurt that we didn't get something along the lines of a "how Chomper and Ruby met the gang" origin story. Yeah it's kinda canon but it would of given them a better feature than exploiting one feature of one character.

- Weak 3rd Act - The final act of the movie was weak. Very weak. I wasn't expecting a Michael Bay explosion-fest but the lead up to Bron's rescue (c'mon! That's hardly a spoiler. It's a sodding U rated LBT movie. We all knew what was going to happen! :rolleyes: ) just was not enough of a climax for what the gang went through. I get that the movie is aimed at younger audiences and there are restrictions to work within (timing, kids' attention span, displays of peril and danger) but so much more could have been done with it. Not saying it had to be another sharptooth attack but more action and danger could have been implemented here to make a more fulfilling conclusion. The island breaks apart leaving Littlefoot on it, the mountain erupts again and they have to escape a pyroclastic (sp?) cloud, Wild Arms steps up and saves Bron/Littlefoot and almost gets roasted (returning the favour sorta thing), the canon "lost one to the adventure but OH NO WAIT, he's OK!" trope. Anything to add more to this closing act. It was just a bit limp leaf for me and I was expecting a bit more. For God Sake in #10 we had an all-out brawl of leaf-eaters Vs Sharpteeth! Even Grandma and Grandpa got their Shaq-fu, smash down on! Whilst it was that softly-softly, just about acceptable level of violence for kiddies, it was still more exciting that the end of this one. Shame...

- Pacing and Focus - Not that I don't love seeing the gang getting up to their adventuring hi-jinks as always, the supporting cast really did take a backseat in this one. Considering Mr Threehorn, Wild Arms and Grandpa Longneck were on a rescue mission, we only cut back to them a handful of times and when we do, it broke apart the flow in odd places for me. The pace yo-yo'd quite a but going from bursts of excitement to down right crawls that dragged out for far too long. Whilst the characters held my attention, scene shifts literally made me blink and reminded me of my reality I was to return to once the movie was done (usually that only comes from poorly timed phone calls or needing loo breaks :oops :p ). Dunno... just found the pace choppy and disjointed at times. Again, another minor nit-pick.

On the whole, I really did enjoy this one. I've rewatched it at least 5 times almost in daily succession and it was good to see a new LBT movie reach us after so long. One of my more preferred sequels I'd say. It won't knock Don Bluth's masterpiece from my personal pedestal, but I'll happily be revisiting this one. ;) :D

Well I thought the movie was very good, the new characters were better then I had hoped. I wish Ruby and Chomper had some more screen time and the rescue mission that the adults went on was a bit pointless in the movie though it would not have been for them.

I liked the animation style and found the VA to just as good as ever. Felix really does a good Job at being Littlefoot and it was nice to see Anndi and Aria come to play their respective dinos. In terms of the sound effects I found them easily bearable, I have a high tolerance for silly videos thanks to my sister but I do with they would cut down on it in future, I am glad they did not do any of that in the songs though.

In terms of the songs I thought they were all quite good even the hot and stinky song, which I found surprisingly catchy though my personal fav was Better Off Alone.

The plot was very good, it went a little slow at first before quickly moving into the adventure. In terms of the breakup of the gang it does seem that character development over the films had been thrown away, however rows do happen between people who have known each other and with Cera and Littlefoot, there's no surprise there.

I found the climax to be well done though it did end a little to quickly, I sure it was heart warming to see everyone working together but I wish that rescue mission itself was actually more action packed and tense but we didn't get that so the ending was okay.

There was one scene that I could not stand however and that was the scene with those pygmy dinos making Petrie there leader that was a bit to ridiculous for me but apart from that I find everything went swimmingly.

So overall I would rate this as one of the better LBT sequels.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on February 19, 2016, 01:58:56 AM
So back in 2011-12 I rewatched all of LBT, and watched 10-12 in full for the first time. I basically knew what would happen in 10, since I'd seen some of it before, and watched MArzgurl's reviews of the other two before seeing them. So this is the first really new LBT thing I've really felt I'm seeing in about 13 years!

So here, I'll take notes about things I find interesting about the new movie. Not a big review, since that's too time consuming, but just a place to jot down notes as I watch.  

1. The beginning is a lot like LBT 12's with the Universal Logo...except it zooms into...northern Canada??
2. The new narrator is just...not John Ingle.  :cry
3. The transition to Littlefoot was sort of abrupt, but ok.
4. So nice seeing Cera, Ducky, Spike and Petrie reintroduced.
5. Wow, they mentioned Mama Longneck for the first time since LBT 10. Glad to see she hasn't been forgotten.
6. The flashbacks with Bron aren't exactly accurate, but it at least gives the idea.
7. Chomper and Ruby are back...and Chomper can only growl in english, not sharptooth.  Huh.
8. BTW, Littlefoot knows Ruby, so is this after the series? Guess I'll find out.
9. Oh god...Topsy's voice...you'll forever be missed, John Ingle.  :(petrie
10. Oh god...cheesy music starting!  :rolleyes
11. Littlefoot as Bieber?  :lol
12. "You will teach them to stay away from your rear end"
Seriously???  :lol
13. Handclaps in an LBT song?  :lol
14. Cera, did you learn anything from smashing your horn in LBT 10?
15. The noise when she shakes her head after hitting it...can anyone say "Klasky Csupo"? Lololol!!!
16. Aw, the song was pretty sweet.  :smile
17. Lol, the baby swimmer biting Petrie, lol
18. Holy crap, was Petrie almost about to say he was their adopteded...oh wait, no, he was talking about Spike, not Ducky. Why was he so shy to say he was Spike's friend?  :! It would have been funnier if he has said "and me your sister's...uh, um...me just Petrie."
19. Oh god...Grandpa Longneck, who did they get to voice you?  R.I.P., Kenneth Mars. You'll always be Grandpa Longneck, no matter how many replacements he gets.  :cry
20. BTW, Grandma Longneck sounds different, too. I'll have to check the credits.
21. CGI Waterfall.
22. Oh...the herd all makes it there safely, just not Bron. I see.
23. Um...does Grandpa Longneck have longer eyelashes suddenly?  :lol
24. WILD ARMS!!!!  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol
25. Oh man, this guy is too hilarious!  :smile But owch, that pinching looked painful!
26. Feather headed sharptooth? Huh.
27. Their stare at Wild Arms...gonna be a really good caption.  :smile
28. Huh, where are Chomper and Ruby? They sort of disapeared.
29. It's nice that Littlefoot isn't asking his friends to risk their lives to help him. Back in LBT 4, it was sort of implied that he was gonna make them do that if Ali hadn't said they should go alone.
30. Um...is he actually in the Mysterious Beyond? Not much transition.
31. *sigh*...the gang this site is named after, back on another adventure after all these years!  :smile (Although it barely qualifies as the Mysterious Beyond.)
32. OK, now it sort of qualifies.
33. The first clip we've already seen so far. Also, what's the "long valley"?  
34. Horrible CGI tree.
35. Once again, Cera wasn't at the back of the line as they crossed the log.
36. "Everything looks scary to you"  lol
37. They called stinkweed by it's actual name, ironically enough.  :idea
38. Clip #2 that we've seen...the "hot and stinky" song...and boy, does it stink.
39. Those are some uncanny-looking sharpteeth.
40. The sharpteeth actually heard Petrie?
41. Holy crap, a mammal.
42. Oh god, saying the song title...please tell me there isn't going to be a reprise...  :anger
43. Spike's eating really causing a problem for once. And causing Littlefoot to fall in.
44. Geez, the gang is gonna risk getting eaten just for a swim?
45. They're  JUST noticing the stinkweed is washing off?? The writers are really putting the willing suspension of disbelief on me here.
46. I'm pleased to hear the music from the shark scene in movie 5 reused!  
47. Horrible CGI falling rocks.
48. Yikes...that looks tough to climb up. Thankfully Ducky and Petrie didn't have to. (BTW, it looks like the cliff Littlefoot was climbing after the fight with Cera in the original!)
49. Horrible CGI cliff.
50. Tripping Sharpteeth, again.
51. More horrible CGI rocks, but made up for by Cera pushing them onto the Sharptooth!  :smile
52. And he just gives up and walks away. A day in the life of a sequel sharptooth. Oh well.
53. Clip #3. I gotta say, so far, this movie has been pretty good..it's stuck to a good story without wasting much time on stuff. I wonder if Etta will show up soon. Given her significance, I'm sure she will, considering we're over a half-hour in.
54. Lovely shot of the valley. Looks almost mirrored from the original film.
55. Chomper and Ruby still exist in this film, thankfully.
56. Ugh, the grandparents' voices.
57. The Mysterious Beyond is well-drawn here, too.
58. Wait, sickness among the gang? That's new.
59. Aw, the classic Great Valley Theme...nope, gotta save up the waterworks in case something happens that really makes me cry.
60. Clip #4. Great to see Mama Swimmer and Mama Flyer again, but where's Tria? Anyways, nice to see this clip again.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on February 19, 2016, 02:01:55 AM
I'm only double posting because I had to move this and couldn't put everything in just one post.

61. lol, how Grandpa Longneck and Topsy can just walk over it.
62."Of all the stunts these wild young ones have pulled, this is the worst." Would be a nice time to bring in some continuity nods, but oh well.
63. Wow...the scene with them sleeping really reminded me of the original film...
64. Just the look Grandpa Longneck and Topsy give Wild Arms! Too hilarious.
65. Wild Arms trying to hi-five Topsy!! Again, comedy gold.
66. Wild Arms fainting and Mr. Threehorn carrying him!! God, the writers are on fire humor-wise when this guy is involved!
67. Spike's stomach growls...for the first time in the entire series, ironically enough. I actually made a topic noting that not too far back.
68. "But how come we can't find it?" Pretty stupid question.
69. Cera tells Littlefoot she doesn't think he knows where he's going and they should have gone her way...nice nod to the original.
70. Horrible CGI rock-surfing.
71. Holy shit...are Littlefoot and Cera gonna fight? Even scenery-wise, this is SERIOUSLY a homage to the original!!
72. Littlefoot lashes out at the others...um, wow.
73. Oh my god...it's uncanny how much this scene resembles the original, Like...there's no way this couldn't have been intentional.
74. "Better Off Alone" (or "I feel Fine", if that's what it's called) is great. Pure Michelle and Amanda LBT music. The split-screen was kinda cheesy...espicially towards the end when it looks like Littlefoot and Cera share both ends of a body, a la "Catdog" (a Nickelodeon show from a long time ago you might have seen) but it helps this solo duet. I gotta say, this will probably be my favorite song of the film.
75. Sand clouds...that's new!
76. "Don't tell me you're thinking about going back out there!" Reba has arrived!  :smile (It took 45 minutes, but no biggie.)
77. I gotta say...Littlefoot being seperated from the others actually makes this pretty emotionally well-done. He only was for a short time in the original (we never really saw him on his own). I could sort of see from the clips that something like this might happen, although I didn't give a ton of thought to it.
78. ...and now Petrie goes missing.
79. Those eyes...those things! So creepy!! (I typed this after watching a bit further in, but at the moment I was like, "WTF??")
80. OMG...all of them respecting him!! "More! More"  :lol  I wonder if they'll talk like him...
81. Oh, so it's pronounced "Eh-tuh". I thought it was "Ee-tuh".
82. And now an earthquake traps them. I gotta say, this movie is doing a better job putting challenges on it's characters than any other LBT sequel. That shows how much the writing has improved!
83. Those diggers are too hilarious!  :lol
84. Lol, Petrie as the leader!  :lol BTW, notice the sound effects as Cera opens her eyes to see him. What's with all the sound effects?
85. The music that plays anytime the diggers eat the fruit...so funny! Great job, Tavera!
86. Petrie calls the tune for once! Cool.
87. Aw...Petrie saying goodbye to the diggers was so sad. But at least they found a new leader.
88. And here's the last clip we'd already been shown.
89. Wait...did Shorty make it out OK? Littlefoot doesn't mention him to Etta.
90. So that's why the middle of Etta's arms are colored differently.
91. I thoroughly enjoyed "Look For The Light". Great visuals, great melody, great lyrics, great performance. Great job, Michelle, Amanda, and of course, Reba!   :smile
92. SHARPTOOTH WITH FREAKIN' HORNS!!!
93. A lucky coincidence, the others end up near enough for Littlefoot to hear at exactly the right time. This movie does a great job challenging the characters but doesn't make it too hard on them, like the original. That's really good writing.
94. Etta's singed wing prevents her from being able to fly. Interesting.
95. So Etta's a "bigbeak"? Huh.
96. "I'm so happy we're altogether!" Me, too, Littlefoot. Me, too.  :smile
97. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Alright! Gotta make sure I enjoy the last 15 minutes of the movie, in case they're the last of the entire franchise.
98. The ride down the crystal tunnel was just awesome. This is what LBT should be. THIS is what we've been missing!
99. And then they come out into such a pretty place! I love how Ducky's like "I want to do it again!", since I actually immediately rewatched it, it was so good!
100. As the grand 100 commentary note, the freaking epic shot of them looking up at the fire mountain from the trailer!
101. No...they wouldn't kill off Bron...would they...? (BTW, some of the ridges here look a lot like in the original!)
102. Oh...my...god. Bron on the lava. I had to show my dad, who was in the room and he was like, "Is that where they got the idea for Star Wars?" (Refering to Anakin and Obi-Wan's fight in Revenge Of The Sith)
103. I had to take a screenshot of it and when I looked at it more...holy sh**, is Bron missing a leg? Did it get...burned off??!!
104. Oh god...Bron's accepting that he's gonna be burned alive?? Also, is he just weakened or is that a terrible voice actor?
105. Finally, back to the others.
106. Does anyone but me hate how they make the music all funny whenever Wild Arms is onscreen? It's not Tavera-ish at all.
107. I hope those creatures that distracted the sharptooth are ok.
108. Oh god, the blurring around Wild Arms when the others glare at him is creepy.
109. The sound effect as Cera shakes her head...again.
110. Water hardening lava...pure awesomeness. This whole plan to rescue Bron makes for a fantastic climax.
111. Horrible CGI tree.
112. Leaping across lava. Wow.
113. Bron's design is a little different, I'm noticing. The top of his head isn't dark brown.
114. Wild Arms: "Finally! Someone who's sensible!"
115. The Gang of Seven, finally together in film.
116. The ending...just...awesome way to cap it off.
117. "Look For The Light" playing over the credits. Great to hear it again. Even better in this longer version. (BTW, my dad turned out the lights just as the song was finishing!)
118. And then we have to hear "Hot and Stinky" again.  :rolleyes

Final thoughts:

This was a really good movie. Like, better than LBT has had in quite a while. Not only was it a huge comeback after Wisdom of Friends (which I never saw and never plan on seeing, it was that bad) but a huge comeback for the franchise in general. It gives me serious hope that this franchise has a good future ahead. But if that's the last of it, well, it's a pretty darn good way to go out---espicially better than Wisdom of Friends, which for so many years, we were sure was the end of it all.

What else is there to say? There was a lot about this movie I loved. The new characters were fantastic, and it was truly great to see our main five (plus Chomper and Ruby) again. There were plenty of funny moments. The Petrie and the diggers storyline, Wild Arms, Etta, and so forth. I loved how the climax was done. It didn't rely on some fight against a sharptooth as so many other LBT sequels have in the past (I think 7 was the only one that truly didn't.) The new songs were mostly good, and Tavera's score, while not quite as memorable or beautiful as it was in the early sequels, was still good. The writing was good, the pacing was good, the animation, for a DTV and a world that now lives in 95% computer animation, was good.

So what was bad? Well, like I said, I didn't like the replacements for Grandpa Longneck and Topsy. Bron's replacement wasn't great either, and why were Mama Swimmer and Mama Flyer replaced? Was Tress unavailable? I dunno.

"Hot and Stinky" obviously wasn't the best song, but I don't think it was the absolute worst. There were a few filler moments, like Spike and Ducky's siblings hatching (they must have like, 30 by now) and the Sharptooth going after the search party only to be distracted. Chomper and Ruby being there wouldn't make sense if you hadn't seen the TV series, which itself brought them in rather suddenly. Oh, and where was Shorty? He must have made it back with the herd, but did he care at all what happened to Bron? It was quite odd that the writers seemed to have forgotten about him.

Other than that, though, the film was pretty much a hands down great LBT sequel. I really can't give it any less of a praise than that. Even if Marzgurl tried to critique this one, I'm sure she wouldn't find as many flaws as she does with some of them. So is it the best? Well, that's kind of hard to say. There was so much that was good about it, yet that's asking me to put it over 3, 4, 5 and 7, all watermarks of my childhood. Writing wise, however, I'd say it ties with 4 and 7 (and I guess 10) as the best sequel of the series.

Well, that's pretty much everything to cover. I hope this isn't the end of LBT, and if it is, I'm at least happy knowing I made my contribution trying to prevent it being the last by purchasing it on itunes. It's the first Itunes movie I've ever bought, by the way.  :smile

We have some sales numbers now from JOTB's first week! It sold about 50,000 copies and spending on it was about $750,000. I don't really know what this means but here's the link in case anyone's interested.

http://www.the-numbers.com/weekly-dvd-sales-chart (http://www.the-numbers.com/weekly-dvd-sales-chart)

It's DVD sales were less than The Great Day of Flyers' first week was, but of course that was back in 2007 when there were many more DVD sales and I don't think there was Netflix streaming at that point, so ... Also JOTB debuted at rank #7, while Great Day of the Flyers debuted at #11.


Link for Great Day of Flyers info: http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Land-Befo...tab=video-sales (http://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Land-Before-Time-XII-The-The-Great-Day-of-the-Flyers#tab=video-sales)

Also for further comparison, it appears that Wisdom of Friends did not chart at all: this was the chart of Wisdom of Friends' first week.

Yeah they only show the first week unless you contact them/sign up I guess. I'm not sure what the "total spending" is exactly. The amount of money made for the amount of units sold? I mean when I checked LBT was $15 at walmart and 15 x 50,000 is 750,000. But we have no idea about the other weeks and we have no idea what budget Universal had, both in making the movie, making the DVDs, and marketing.

I gotta admit, this is the first sequel I've watched multiple times in a while.  The quality really is better this time around☺.

Aw man, the part where Petrie sees all the eyes peer out at him, then reacts by shooting up like a bat outta hell, about made me wet my pants the first time I saw that.  Pee-yneww!!! like a crack-loaded rocket :p...oh Petrie, you're such a Chicken Little sometimes :lol.

As soon as it's released in other countries and regular retail, the sales will DEFINITELY boost a lot more. Seems nice, if it does well, LBT XV may become reality!  :D

Did Universal ever say what this film's budget was? Would be useful for seeing if/when the movie turns a profit for them, which would give them a good reason to make another movie. :)

Post by: Hypno on March 22, 2016, 06:03:03 PM
Well, the budget of the first film was about $12.5 mil. Would it be higher now with better animation and CGI? Definitely, but how much so? We need a guess. I'll check the budgets for any of the sequels, if they exist.

No. Don Bluth's animation is obviously superior and CG would not be an expensive alternative these days. Let's also remember that LBT was animated traditionally back then which would be a far more expensive and time consuming production. I don't think LBT 1 would be a good comparison for the budget.

Apparently they also re-used some animation from the previous sequels, further cutting down the costs.

Sounds more like they reused designs, and not really animation.

"Maintained digital database of all design assets created for the project as well as a stock database of assets created for previous “Land Before Time” projects, allowing for significant re-use, saving production time and money."

Seems like they would reuse a lot of the designs, as a lot of characters and locations are from previous sequels, so of course it would save time and money not having to design that many new characters or locations.

Either way, that would of course save some money.

Hello, dino fellows!  I kinda forgot about this place & remembered it once after I finally managed to watch this LBT 14 & felt a strong need for opinion to be exhausted.  Now, I won't go in to typing a big quality & professional tl;dr essay/review about the movie, since:
1) barely anyone would read it;
2) I'm not too fluent in English & have issues when it comes to translating a bowl of thoughts on mind in to text;
3) after 31 pages everything has been already said much better than I could say it myself.
So here it goes then...

I AM thankful it's finally a new movie after uncertainty & long waitings.  So I was watching it bluntly & felt being bored after some first 15 mins, though I had to go through it, if only for the sake of it being watched & all thoughts/speculations been answered.  Btw, I really adored those amazing backgrounds throughout the movie, as in previous ones.
But, would one expect some improvement & quality of the first movie after 12 sequels so far?  Lolno!  The film was L A M E .
Everything was so typical & predictive, I could foresee each character's saying/reaction before it was actually happening.  Same overused characters' personal traits & stuff that's long exhausted & no funny at all.  Spike still can't talk (even though his face appears to have more wrinkles now) & same goes for Petrie.  [Well, actually those can be ignored if you take that events of all 14 films happen within a year or less.] Everything looked as if "scripted" or pre-made for the characters, than it looking that it's happening purely by luck or coincidence.
Unbearably preschoolers-friendly film, that as usual features scary looking villains that are always stupid & never hurt the main characters.  Same scenes of kids defeating mighty "sharpteeths".  It's so predictive & repetitive, it's no longer thrilling at all - just mute the sound during the "scary/thrilling" scenes & see for yourself.   Oh & here there were no "thrilling" fights between sharpteeths & adults, so yeah...  it's safe for toddlers to watch it.
Same plot as in all other movies...  The problem comes in to the Great Valley & while stupid adults are busy discussing it, as always brave kiddos alone go on adventure out of the Valley to fix the problem themselves.  They will work together, fight, & as usual each ones plan will go against them soon. Very predictive as in all previous sequels, actually as in all movies anyway.  Then adults realize the kids are gone & so they go after them.  All fix the problem & go back happily. SAME PATTERN STUFF, not sure how it can still excite anyone, unless you're under some 10 years old.
And yup, there are songs in the film, as usual.  Songs that all sound like some well-known songs from the 70s-80s.  In particular, the "Hot & Stinky" (lol), reminded me of the "Summer Nights" by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John.
Typical accents by new characters too.   Ruby & Chomper have no role in the film at all & were there only to validate the TV series as really belonging to the timeline.
The only funny parts in the film that made me smile were scenes with Petrie & those lizard-like characters.  But didn't it remind of similar scenes in many other (animated) movies?

So was it a good movie?  Meh, but better than previous 10-13, slightly.
Was it worth the wait?  Guess so, but really... it's a 13th sequel, so what would you expect?   Unless you imagine that the first film never happened at all, as well as 12 sequels too.

Not long ago I saw a "close" animated movie featuring dinos, called "The Good Dinosaur"...   Now that was somewhat great - no songs, not boring, thrilling for real.   But nvm it.


Gah, wanted to type a few, but guess I got too overexcited in the process as well as looks like there's too much of time on my hands!  


Oh & btw, I don't love Jelly Otter anymore, as I created my own characters fully up to my own taste & liking.  So how can I change my username to something else, cause I don't want the past still echoing...?

Week 2 of sales looks to be pretty good! Only a slight decline of 9% from Week 1 to Week 2, and it charted at 10th (down from 7).

For comparison, Great Day of the Flyers was at 22nd in its second week, and had a 61% drop from Week 1 to Week 2.

Now we have 95,000 sold copies and $1.3 mill after two weeks.

I actually did go and watch this (the new avatar proves I did so) since I saw it was on Netflix and what I wanted to watch wasn't.

Anyway:

1.) Its not too terrible; I really really wasn't sure I wanted to go down this rabbit hole of sequels again, but at least I didn't feel I totally wasted my time with it.

2.) The showtunes are just blah, save for Reba's song, which actually made sense where it was put in the plot.  So I won't complain about Reba's song in the film, and admittedly like it.  The rest were there for sake of the being there are weren't needed, period.

3.) 100% glad Ruby and Chomper basically had cameo roles.  I don't care for those second bananas much.

4.) While I'm sure CGI helps save some money, Universal in their films just never blended it well at all when they try to add like cg water, rocks, or trees in their 2-d films.  This film unfortunately is no different from others they've tried...sometimes many years before this one.  Maybe its the Korean animation crew, I don't know, but these guys can't pull it off, and I don't think they've ever done so.  Just keep 2-d and it would be totally fine and at least the picture would flow.


So now that I have a cool new avatar, bow to leader Petrie!!! :D

Honestly though I think the CGI in this one was way better than in some of the previous sequels. I was still able to spot a poorly textured 3D object or surface every now and then, but they didn't stand out quite as badly as some things in - say - LBT10 did.

Ah the 14th movie directed by the worlds worst animated director Davis Doi. Everything he directs turns to trash. He's the Michael Bay of animated directors minus the explosives. Despite me hating everything he ever worked on I still wanna check this out since I need to finish the series. I looked at reviews watched video reviews and I herd it's not as bad as some of the other sequels. So I'm hoping to soon watch this movie.

I've never heard of him before LBT XIV. However, he did a great job with this sequel. For me it's in the top 8 LBT sequels of all time, much better than Wisdom of Friends, and on par with The Great Day of the Flyers.

Again Davis Doi is a horrible director that should stop insulting kids intelligence by making movies That dumb them down. But lucky for me this morning before work I watched it. And my review of his latest abomination. The voice acting was horrible. The new actors they got sounded nothing like what they use to. I know Kenneth Mars passed away so they had to find a sound alike actor and they failed. The five music numbers where forgettable. I did like only two of them. One was "Find Me The Light" by Reba Macintire and the no friend song. Eda voiced by Reba Macintire was the funniest thing in the movie and she still shouldn't have been in this. And don't get me started on damein Wayne's crazy arms character he was not a good character.  I did however like the digger dinosaurs those where pretty good and funny. So I thought the movie was okay the story was a complete retelling of the first Land Before Time. So some parts I liked some I didn't like. Like cera wining about everything that wasn't helping the situation at all. But I did like the fact they actually went with little foot to help him look for his dad. So all and all I'd give it a 5/10. It was good enough to give it half the grade.

Just a brief update on the sales, as of March 27 (I think, it's the most recent weekly DVD sales posted), LBT 14 has now crossed the $2 mill mark! It seems to be making steady progress in sales, as it has made $300K since the last time this chart was updated (for the prior week, I think).

Nope he makes very awful animated kids movies that really insult there intelligence. His work is painful to sit through. Hopefully that's his one and only Land Before Time movie he's directing. He's a awful director that makes such low awful quality movies for kids that make them look and sound like they're dumb.

You never know, maybe he'll improve with time... Everyone can slip now and then. Remember - Don Bluth himself made "A Troll in Central Park". A movie much worse than even LBTXIII has been. :D

I'm a little late to the party, having just joined the forum. But have we, as a group, given the movie a fair appraisal? I don't think it's awful, just lackluster. It's probably one of the better sequels, and a definite improvement over its immediate three predecessors.
That said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. In fact, as soon as I have time, I'll post a list of opportunities that the producers missed.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Malte279 on June 02, 2016, 08:51:28 AM
Lackluster is indeed a good term to describe this movie. It is by now five weeks ago that I watched it, but there was nothing really to see that would have been particularly motivating to write about it.
Watching the movie I cannot help but feeling that the makers of the movies themselves are utterly unenthusiastic about what they are making and it shows. You get hardly any sense of passion, enthusiasm or creativity from the movie.
There were a few interesting moments (quarrel among the group, Petrie suddenly finding himself in a sudden position of adoration (reminiscent of Sith in Ice Age II), or the journey on an underground river), but none of them seemed to be really exploited by the makers of the movie.
I'm also not sure if it is just me or if others too have the impression that the language is shifting towards and even younger audience? I mean not just how they say things (personally I like Petries language and Ducky's way of talking as characteristic features) but rather what they are saying. I repeatedly had the impression of them talking in a captain obvioius kind of manner like the audience was in need of explanations for rather obvious things. Also the way Spike was acting and being treated by others seemed a bit like he was developing back to toddlerdom. True, there have been idiot moments of Spike before (don't eat the vine you are standing on), but I would prefer to have Spike as the gentle, and good natured, loyal and (if necessary) determined friend as whom he was depicted in LBT 4 for example.
The sharpteeth in this movie were once again conveniently stupid, leaving the kids all the time they needed to set up traps that wouldn't work if we assumed even mediocre intelligence or plausible strength. It is true that the sense of thread has long been abandoned when it comes to sharpteeth (I think the swimming sharptooth in LBT 9 was the last we got that (in spite of Moes antics) came across as more than a toy for the kids).
Last but not least, Bron came across as a bit of a... whatever once again. We never got any indication whatsoever that big, strong longneck he is supposed to be, he even bothered to try at least to work himself out from under that rock rather than just waiting to be saved or to die. In a constant dripping wears away the stone kind of procedure he might have tried something at least. I appreciate the effect of leverage, but the kids accomplishing in a matter of moments what the much stronger Bron couldn't even in days is much of a stretch.
Above all (and this really bothered me most I think) there is an extreme incoherence in the movie. It is emphasized how very much the herd needed Bron and that he must abandon his son because his herd was so utterly depending on him.
Not only did the herd move on to the valley without any troubles, but they didn't seem to be in any way disorganized, desperate or in any other way even mildly distressed about the loss of their leader. Heck the rather unimpressive new characters of the movie didn't bother to help him or ask for help but had to be reminded of respectively be forced into the realization that perhaps it would be sensible thing to try to save their leader. This total indifference really goes to show that his heard neither needs nor cares about Bron. After they have given him the bird the way they did I really don't see what in the wide world would keep Bron obliged to play the leader for a herd that neither needs nor bothers about him.
Title: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)
Post by: Sangiban on June 02, 2016, 12:18:32 PM
Malte, you took the words out of my mouth. Partly to drive home the producers' lack of enthusiasm (and to raise fanfic ideas to anyone in that market) here are a few missed opportunities:
 1) Bron seems to bear no resentment whatsoever against his herd for failing to free him. Pretty forgiving of him. Did the herd do anything to help Bron before leaving the lava river? It shouldn't have been hard - Litlefoot and his friends were able to do it easily. The cynic in me wonders if the herd was actually glad to be rid of Bron. Oh wait, perhaps I spoke too soon. The bird-like dinosaur does tell Littlefoot that Bron sacrificed himself to save everyone else. But what made them think he was dead? In fact, here's an idea. Have a faction of the herd decide that they don't want Bron as their leader anymore, and try to stop Littlefoot and co. from saving him.
2) giving Spike some development. They fleshed him out a little bit in the 8th movie, but there was only so much that could be done, given that Spike can't talk. Why is he still mute? The trait was fine in the 1st movie, but it shouldn't have become part of the status quo immediately thereafter. At the very least other characters should have tried to address the problem in the sequels. Strangely, Spike does get one word in the 5th movie, but the event is immediately forgotten.
  3)  I only caught a glimpse of the resolution to Littlefoot and Cera's quarrel (NB: I haven't watched the movie, just a review of it by an Internet critic), but it felt painfully contrived. The pair didn't realize their mistakes or got over their grievances; the plot just demanded they make up. Why not make the rift permanent (at least as of the movie's end), and in the process have the gang break up? As a bonus you  could have them fall in with new friends in a sequel. I know that Littlefoot and Cera never truly made amends in the 1st movie, but the story ended before they could do so.
  4) The group's fall into a cavern river and over a waterfall could have been a dangerous, exciting scene. Instead, it was presented (perhaps intentionally) as the dinosaur equivalent of a theme-park ride. While I'm on the subject of danger, I want to gripe about the sandstorm. I don't mind that the makers didn't incorporate the breathing difficulties that real-life sandstorms can create. The four main characters present being dinosaurs (and kids), they probably wouldn't have known the proper measures to take, and that would have been the end of them. But the scene could have been played for thrills in other ways. Ex: the characters could have ended up separated really far away from Littlefoot, they could have stumbled into a crevice or a sharptooth (imagine how cool a sandstorm chase might have been) or Ducky could have been blown miles away from the others.    
5) Once every movie, Littlefoot sneaks off to go on an adventure. Why don't the adults remember this and keep an eye on him? Why don't they scold him when they meet up at the end? You can't just ignore continuity but then observe it in other respects (for example with regard to Bron).

   Come on Universal, where's the enthusiasm? Where's the ambition? I know that your top priority is profit, that the target demographic is kids, and that kids aren't particularly demanding. But still, why not give them movies that in the long run will raise their standards? Why not give them viewing fare that challenges their brains and moral values? Is that too much to ask for? By the way, I'm sure I could spot more missed opportunities if I watched Journey of the Brave, but that unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Post by: Malte279 on June 06, 2016, 08:37:30 AM
Fair point, Dinotopia: Quest For The Ruby Sunstone was really a very poor movie, especially when comparing it to the marvelous books Dinotopia is based on. It is a pity that movie makers tend to approach Dinotopia with a desire to turn it into an extreme action / magic story rather than presenting the marvelous world imagined by James Gurney (the author of the Dinotopia books).
The Dinotopia mini-series made the same mistakes (along with some very poor acting) while the series that followed the mini-series was quite decent, corrected many mistakes committed by the mini-series and came up with some original own ideas without distorting Dinotopia beyond all recognition. Sadly that series was cancelled on a cliffhanger.
Anyway, I am getting off topic here.

If Journey Of The Brave was directed by a different person than I wouldn't be so harash on it. It's just that Davis Doi direction was not good. He just can't direct at all. The film it self was poorly made. The cgi/2D graphics was an eye sore. The songs god where they painful to sit through. The only decent song was sung by Reba Macintire. She did put effort onto the song where no other Efforts at all where put in the other songs. The casting was wrong nothing sounded like the original voices to the characters at all. Davis Doi puts in characters that really insult the intelligence of the attended audience it's targeted towards. So the movie was a complete mess. He basically took Don Bluth's movie and dumbed it down to this horribleness. It was a complete replaca of the first movie since he can't come up with his own ideas. That's why I'm so harash on this movie.

Davis Doi didn't screw up the casting for the main characters - they have mostly been the same for many past movies. And, what did he replicate from the first movie? They're not trying to find the great valley again!

If JoTB does good business, we seriously ought to consider writing a full-length script in anticipation of the next movie. With a little luck, it might provide Universal with some (much-needed) inspiration. It would be a rare chance to make a real impact on the series.

I'm not sure yet. Obviously it would have be to be something reasonably original. One idea could be having vast numbers of Sharpteeth decide to attack the Great Valley in packs, as a result of a new round of climate change and consequent critical food shortages in the Mysterious Beyond. The Great Valley's residents usual method of banding together and driving  the Sharpteeth away isn't feasible this time:    the packs are too many and too widely scattered, they refuse to retreat to the Mysterious Beyond (believing they can't survive there) and the herbivores can't afford to leave their children unprotected (which means they can't attack as a group). So the Sharpteeth remain. The protagonists are confronted with a difficult choice: leave the Great Valley and risk their lives looking for a possible new sanctuary, or tough it out- partly by bringing in herbivores from outside the Valley. As a subplot you could have another big fight between Littlefoot and Cera concerning his mothers memory. Littlefoot realises one day that Cera never actually took back her insult against his mother in the original movie. He asks her to take it back, she refuses, and things snowball from there (NB: this idea is derived from the fanfic "The Big Quarrel", worth checking out if you have time).

Well I was thinking more in terms of a collaborative project by a fairly small group of members rather than everyone writing his own script (my previous story suggestion was just to get the ball rolling, and as you pointed out isn't child-friendly). Either way, the producers might ignore us entirely, but I think it’s worth a try. At worst, we’d have laid the basis for an outstanding fanfic.

As for Littlefoot and Cera fighting, note that Cera never apologized for her insult. They just forgot about the whole affair because more important events happened. So I don't think it's implausible that the quarrel would be rekindled if they were reminded of it somehow and Littlefoot again demanded an apology. True, Cera did show that she could apologize in JoTB. However, bad writing aside, that apology arguably required a lot less pride from her.

almost 10 monts have passed
still waiting for translation of LBT14 to my language...
T-T

I amaze myself, how I didn't watch it till this time. Oo

I don't know...
watch it in original language? Close my eyes on these lost passed months of waiting?

Single reason why I didn't watch it is despite I can almost freely watch movies, cartoons and tv series in English without subtitles, I want to sit on my sofa, start Land Before time, and watch it "in one breath": without pauses,replays and misunderstanding speech.

Sigh... New Year is coming very fast...

ADFan: Please, don't respond on my post with your the same endless speech about LBT14 and poor director guy. Thank you.

-------------------

So, as I said before, almost two weeks ago, after watching dream I thinking it's a sign, I decided to watch Land Before Time XIV: Journey of the Brave. And I have to write some words about it. I don't know how to write long posts, so I believe it will be short and quick.

Well...

I have waited for this movie for 8 years after I watched last episode of TV series back in 2008-2009. Even after LBT franchise rolled down to children-only movies, I still had small hope to see good movie, to enjoy it not only as LBT fan, but as simple viewer.

So, what did I get after I finished to watch it? What did I felt?
Well, hmm, idk, how to describe this word more correctly... Maybe... strong CONFUSION?
This confusion doesn't mean something very bad. No. That means: I didn't puke after watching it nor I get good movie. I got something very... confusing. XO Something that made me make dozens questions for myself and for authors.

Ok.

First thing I have to say: I HATE MYSELF. Because I have waited ONE MORE YEAR after release, waiting for official/unofficial translation to my language. And I didn't get that moment, so I had to watch it anyway. As I said long time ago, only reason why I didn't want to watch original English version is because I didn't want to make pauses and rewinds in video, trying to understand what characters talk, using help of translator, etc. I just wanted to seat on my coach and enjoy movie.
So, what did I get? I didn't have problem with translation of ANY line spoken by characters, and I had to make rewinds only two-three times (Etta... your speech... гг), and I made them only after I finished watching.
That means: I'M STUPID IDIOT WHO LOST ONE THE WHOLE YEAR.

Phew...



Now, about movie.

Yeah, for me, it was yet another LBT sequel, something that can't be compared with original movie, something made only for children. That's sad... After 8 years, they could give franchise little push that theoretically can raise movie general quality. Alas...



I will start from moments I disliked OR moments that made me ask myself.

1) I was very sad. This movie had nothing to do with huge plotline that was started in TV series: about Chomper, Ruby, their parents, their mission and their past before events of TV series. NO SINGLE ANSWER OR HINT.

Maybe it's just my personal though.

2) I have one very important question... WHERE. IS. SHORTY???

Hе wasn't pictured nor even mentioned!!! I am deeply confused. It seems like authors... forgot about his existence! But wait, there's Bron, and there's small recap of past events at the beginning of the movie. When they, creating a plot for movie, rechecked old material - they could not NOT-notice Shorty!
Damn, if something happens with Bron, he couldn't stay aside! Only if he was... adopted?.. No, there MUST be at least one single mention of him!

Authors!!! I have serious questions to you...

3) More about Chomper and Ruby... Yes, I was sad they hadn't enough screen time and major role in their first big movie. They had to travel with adults, they didn't has that adventure as gang did.

I knew Chomper would use his sharpteeth skills to find his friends. :3 But that was not enough. :(
But wait... Who was to blame? Authors (of course) and... gang. O_o

Authors, because they feared(?) to let Chomper and Ruby go with the rest of gang, so we finally could see first feature-length adventure of Gang of SEVEN!

And Gang... What the hell? Why you didn't tell blue friendly sharptooth and pink fastrunner about Littlefoot's plans? Why you didn't get them along with you? Is there a reason? They didn't want to trouble them? Was it something about rules that letting them to stay in the Valley? But they escaped it anyway, after thay secretly followed adults! Oh...

4) Ducky's newborn sibling were cute but... Poor Ducky's mother! Srsl, how much children are you plan to birth? XD Does Ducky have the same fate?

5) Sharpteeth... These Sharpteeth... Well, this time they were not so BEYOND STUPID. They had good noses, so that mess with stinkweed was reasonable. One of them even made big inspiring jump!  But still, again, they hasn't big threat for our gang, their parents, and us - viewers.

6) Songs... No, not that. It's about my personal taste.

I don't know, do you guys like when characters sing songs during movie and plot action, but I... don't. I know some of them are very beautiful and atmospheric, but still, one of reasons why I like original movie so much is because there isn't any song until credit starts and we hear beautiful If we hold on together...

But wait! In this movie, there's song I liked very much! Called "Look for the light", and Etta even sings it during credits! I want it stays only there, after main action ends and titles start...

7) Some of movie backgrounds are very beautiful, but again... There's not only clear skies above characters! There should be dark clounds, there should be rain, there should be red and crimson scary shades! there should be more... nature of lands before time?

8) CGI... This CGI... Well, it wasn't SO rough, and thanks SubGod they still didn't turned LBT universe into horrible CG 3D... Thank you for that.

9) My dear characters... Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike... and ADULTS... I knew authors don't want you grow up, so you remain children, but still... sometimes... WHY YOU SO STUPID?
Didn't past dozens adventures teach you anything? Ok, Spike acts like... Spike. That's individual problem. But others?

Littlefoot, you continue to blindly jump you don't know where. The rest of gang, you act like babies when there's danger around and Littlefoot has a reason to use that stinkweed.

Bron's herd... without him you're just herd of yellowbellies, there even wasn't single sane dinosaur who decided to check what happened to their leader after Burning Mountain settled down for a while.
And many, many, many other idiotic situations... by any of characters...

10) THERE. SHOULD. BE. MORE. SCREEN. TIME.

I liked some scenes in movie, because they have a huge potential, BUT due to short screentime this potential went to nowhere. Heroes are stuck in the middle of their progress and revealing their character. Some scenes are replacing themselves with speed of wind.

Even original movie had the same problem after cutting its content on 11 minutes. And now we again have rough screentime limits...

11) THE BIGGEST PROBLEM: Characters doesn't show full specter of their emotions and feelings. Moments when gang splits up, when they reunites, when Littlefoot is in moments away from losing his second parent...

WHERE IS YOUR EMOTIONS? You act like shadows, like puppets! Where's tears, pain, emotions in your voices?

So,  here's result: I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. I don't believe this adventure happens. that's very sad. I'm VERY sad. I'm very ANGRY. VERY ANGRY. :[

12) These comedy characters... I think authors just forgot how to make good proper comedy characters or situations...

We have new character: Wild Arms. Maybe he doesn't cause me puke, but man... He's shadow of yellow bellis, walking comedy that somehow exists in lands before time, in this severe world. Just look at his actions during explosion of Burning Mountain, Chomper's introduction, and sharpteeth stalking. Just wow... How does he still alive after that?

Remember movies, where funny or cute characters (Petrie, Dino Bullies, Tickles, Mo, etc.) started to act with all seriousness, trying to keep their lives save, and even make everything to save their friends? Why these last comedy characters in last movies act like now? Why?..

I think I know why... And it makes me sad.

13) My personal reproach: Parents still can't do anything to prevent their children from escaping Great Valley, even after their dozens past danger adventures. Dear parents, seriously, do something already!!!

14) Just one word: Spike.

Oh, Spike Spike... Yes, yet another my personal complaint. My personal VERY hard relationship with this character since early sequels.

He acts the same. No progress. And that's big problem (for me). Again, maybe I will tell my opinion about this character later, in his own thread.





Now, the moments I liked OR moments that could make movie better (in my opinion, of course), but were not fully realized.

1) General plotline about Littlfoot's search for Bron.

I think everyone understand what Littlefoot feels when his second parent's fate is unknown and he could lose him as well as his mother. I think his Journey of heart is what I would like to see.

2) Littlefoot's friends worried about him and didn't want him go to dangerous adventure. When he left them, they felt he would go anyway, so they went for him. (Still, why did Chomper and Ruby had to be outside the boat?..)

3) Places where Gang's path led. Volcano, desert, stones, caves, underground river... So huge  potential... But with that calm atmosphere and weather, they looks just empty.

4) Actually, there was new unique element: we have seen second "adventure party": Grandpa Longneck, Topps, Wild Arms, joined later Chomper and Ruby. Since Chompy and Ovie appeared outside the Gang's boat, and we never watched adventures of adults... Guys, am I only who wanted to see their adventure very much? What if they have more screen time and action? I think it would be beautiful! But... Alas.

Well, at least I liked Chomper's role as pathfinder who sent a way his friends led. You will be perfect hunter, little biter... гг

5) Just one word: Etta.

Oh yes.

I don't know why, but I liked her character VERY much. VERY MUCH.

How can I describe her? She was... mix of adult force, humor, form of wisdom, action, and hope. That's an adult character I really wanted to be with the gang in part of their adventures.

The most I liked in her appearance is when she was with Littlefot in underground caves and cheered him up, talking her speech and singing her song. Especially when she hugged him. She acted like... like his mother? O_o Yes! I have the same feeling when I rewatch original LBT time!! In scenes with Mama Longneck! And Rooter! That's just beautiful and awesome!

One trouble I had with her is... her speech. Aww, her speech... I couldn't fully understand and translate it! Her speech is why I had to rewatch some moments in movie. But that's only just my personal problem. So I haven't complaints. :)

6) Personal mention about Etta: her SONG.

I liked it very much too! And I had some familiar feeling when I listened it. Something from original movie as well... Yes, If we hold on together song in tittles, and its singer, Diana Ross. There's something similar in both of these songs. Not only lyrics, but... atmosphere?

Just add more orchestra to Look for the Light and make motive more sad, and it would be the best! I SO want to see this song only in credits, not in the middle of movie, it would be perfect for me and my personal taste!

7) Great discord and split up between Littlefoot and other gang members.

Oh, YES.

Ok, maybe it was a little nonsense. Maybe characters acted a little stupid or unbelievable (Littlefoot, I didn't expect that from you! I didn't know you can act like that when you blamed your friends!) But hell, don't we people had and still has the same discords in our communities, even between closest people? That's it. This plotline had a HUGE potential. We haven't seen such POTENTIAL intense conflict between gang members for long time! Ok, ok, there was some conflict in LBT11, and we had almost absolutely similar "conflict" in Return to the Hanging Rock episode between Ruby and others. So let's look more closely to it.

What we have...

Of course, this possible conflict were predictable. Roots of conflict started to grow from the very start, when Littlefoot went for his father, not looking at danger, and when the rest of gang went only for Littlefoot, their best friend, knowing that it is very dangerous.

Now we have Littlefoot in other side, and, of course, our loveable Cera on the other. She reasonable complains about route Littlefoot chose, and about dangerous troubles he caused (despite the fact that half of these troubles were caused by yourself, my dear threehorn... гг). If we don't count Cera's bad temper and some stupidity of her and others, she, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, together with joined Etta at some moment, actually represent such speech: "Littlefoot, I understand your worries about your beloved. But you can't help them if you re running directly in danger and risk your own life and lives of those who came with you only for you."

I actually liked that "fight of viewpoints" between Littlefoot and Cera. And oh my, I was so wondered why they did NOT start physical fight! :o Especially after Littlefoot roughly blamed his friends! I thought they would. Cera is not like Ruby, she would try to prove her point with very painful force. It sad that authors feared or didn't know how to make it. In this current case, such radical way to show characters' emotions would fit with the story and make it better...

I also was very touched by night sleep scene. It SO beautifully represents not only actual physical discord between Littlefoot and others, but also shows us clear picture how Littlefoot is far from his friends right now. Just great. I am pleased.

And reunion scene... Authors, authors... Thank you for killing such beautiful moment! :( Since I didn't notice any major emotions of our lovely chracters in this scene. What was a huge potential though... I watched inside my mind how friends are happy they all alive. How Petrie, Ducky and Spike run to hug their friend. How Cera comes from shadow, and both friends apology to each other, accept their mistakes and rubs each other with cheeks (and no, that's not what you think, shippers :p I mean - what Littlefoot did when he met Chomper in island).

Anyway: I gladly like movie had such moment and potential.

8) Bron was yet another very faded character, because he didn't show his full specter of emotions. Especially towards Littlefoot when he saw his son tries to save him, risking his life.
I think I don't have to tell HOW Bron should act in this case... Even if he survives at the end, I would like to see his true love towards Littlefoot and his emotional speech or look. Especially when movie gets you such perfect chance.

Sigh, Yet another wasted opportunity...

9) After that funny scene with small sand lizard and Petrie the Leader, I was thinking: if there was pictured question about what makes you leader... Why wouldn't Petrie try to show his personality and brave and become leader??? After Cera got lost, Littlefoot is nowhere to be found, and he's a flyer and has some advantage... Just forget about your stupid fear steoreotypes and show your character! Not for you, for your friends! Something what you did in original movie dammit! Or at least TRY to do that!..

What do you think, is it a good potential idea?






There was more moments I liked or disliked and not included in these lists, but I don't want analyze each second of this film. :D (of course, because it's not holy original movie, which I watched frame-by-frame...)

Aaand... it appeared not so "short and quick" as I wrote in introduction. XD

Anyway, I'm glad I watched movie and wrote my responce. Hope you read it.

great to hear that at last

I just wanted to point - during this past year I didn't watch JOTB, I had tired to open each possible thread and looked at your responses about how this movie and its director were the most horrible things in the world. Several hundreds the same responses, in all possible threads related and not related to LBT14...

Well, didn't I tell you to just go and watch it in English back when the movie was released in February, 2016? Didn't I?! :p Honestly kind of surprised you didn't list "annoying cartoony sound effects" as one of your main complaints. Also, I agree with you about Etta. She was great and her song was really good. That's how it should be in my opinion... If you want to have someone sing in your movie - invite a professional singer with a great voice and don't just make all the cutesy protagonist show off their vocals more times than necessary. :lol:

I was quite surprised by Journey of the Brave. I had almost given up on sequels after the wacky "Wisdom of Friends." I feared that the trend of dumbing down the dialogue and action would happen again. Thankfully, LBTXIV does not disappoint. In fact, it is my favorite to date. I think it is the journey and imaginative scenarios. Petrie acting as Rex (king), the underground water river ride, Etta (Reba Macintire), the Carnotaurus (Horned Sharptooth), the Valley of Feathered Sharpteeth, and more all was thrilling and endearing. I especially liked the fact Chomper is in his third featured film, and that the adult dinosaurs actually went in search of the Gang of Five, I mean all those times before, hardly did Grandpa Longneck and Topsy go looking for Little Foot and Cera (An exceptions being The Secret of Saurus Rock, and The Great Longneck Migration).

For me this is best Land Before time in some time. I found the Tinysaurs, The Great Day of Flyers, and The Wisdom of Friends to be weaker installments. It was nice to have a return to elements that made the earlier films great.

I thought it was pretty good...at least better than the one before it. I kinda got caught off guard because I didn't know it was coming until it showed up on the new shelf at the library I work at. Naturally, I had to watch, and it wasn't too bad. I never thought about the lack of Shorty though.

It was like how Ali was missing from "The Great Longneck Migration" in LBT X. It would have been easy to add Shorty to "Journey of the Brave," but for some reason the cameos often get left out.

It has yet to be released in Portugal as well. I'm doubting it ever will.

Thinking about importing it from Brazil. Do you guys know if brazilian DVDs work on Region 2 players?

PS.: Glad to see the whole Photobucket problem has been solved.

You can order it as a YouTube electronic copy at this link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvDnzjv4b8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEvDnzjv4b8) . Just a side note, you are not the only one who has had difficulty in finding this film in certain countries. This is probably why I have heard quite a bit about people pirating this film.  If they don't make it readily available to purchase (until now) then what do they expect fans to do?

Nick22, that would be great, but I doubt a TV series will ever happen.

I would like to own a DVD copy, I guess I'll just end up buying it from the UK.

At this point I'm not sure I'd rather see a new sequel or a reboot of the whole franchise.

To Snik's review, I too have had up and down relationship with Spike. I did particularly like that he discovered something useful for eluding the Feathered Sharpteeth, but I did not particularly like his story arch in The Big Freeze. Spike is best in a supporting character role, not the focus of one of the two or three story archs of any LBT film.

I also concur with Snik that there is more to like than dislike about Journey of the Brave. I might even be in minority of thinking it is one of better sequels, especially when compared with the last three films.

whoa. Thank you for reading it, Gentle Sharptooth.

huh, one of biggest problems that Spike IS forever supporting background character without his own will, feelings, actions, personality. For me, he's soulless devouring biorobot machine, who emites only artifical emotions. He's not character at all. No matter when he has his "arc" or he just walks together with other character, he MUST sow his individual personality, be character of LBT subgod dammit. Since second movie, he is nothing for me. T-T I'm very sad about it. I want to see different Spike.

Well, for me, JOTB is somewhere in the middle. He's far from close to be "pure worst", and for me, he has "prize place" in cathegory "sequel that had HUGEST potential" but failed in half-way.

Spike has untapped personality traits to be sure. He really only functions as Ducky's adoptive brother, nothing else. While Petrie has his own personality, family, and opines on almost everything. Spike I think is the screen writers of LBT afterthought; when writing dialogue they can use Spike a sounding board, and forget him for periods (long periods sometimes; basically Spike gets to jump over something, be scared, and maybe discover something new to eat, aside rom that he's fodder to remain at back of Gang for later).

Journey of Brave to me is a better sequel compared to the last two installments, but as you said, it falls short in areas. There is so much about the film that is great, Cesar Petrie, Reba, the Horned Carnotaur (closest to the Original Sharptooth we've gotten in a long time), and more; but much of this was untapped. Scenes suddenly get rushed, just when you think the Horned Sharptooth will battle Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn, or Chomper will communicate with it (doing something more than simply sniffing and tracking the Gang of Five); or what else could have been done with diggers, they could have threatened the rest of the Gang, and gone Ewok on them, tying up Cera, Spike, and Ducky, to supposedly be eaten, then Petrie flies down as Cesar and sets them free, after Cera throws a fit, and Petrie pauses long enough to make them all feel uncomfortable and like they are going to be digger dinner, but instead you discover the diggers only want grapes ruining it, and making Cera even more mad at Petrie.

The whole Bron rescue part is totally lackluster. What should have happened is Grand Pa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn help move the log, but then the Horned Sharptooth and Feather Sharpteeth arrive beneath the Volcano, and so Grand Pa and Topsy must fight them off, while kids rescue Bron like the film depicts, giving everyone a role; even Chomper could try and confuse the Sharpteeth by communicating them; and Ruby could search for something to waylay the Sharpteeth that plan to feed on Bron who is trapped. Perfect climax, Bron is in danger from sharpteeth and lava, Grand Pa and mr. Threehorn actually get to do something, and rest of Gang helps out like in LBT III: The Time of Great Giving.

If Journey of Brave is last Land Before Time film (though I hope it is not), it will be fitting in one respect. The first Land Before Time film featured Little Foot losing his Mother, and if Journey of the Brave is the last installment, then it features Little Foot trying to prevent losing His dad Bron (spoilers, I am not going to say what happens). The First LBT had Little Foot losing his mother, and if this is the last LBT features Little Foot trying to save the last parent he has.

You got that right :wub
But I think Red Claw should've been at the end instead of the Featherheads, it wouldn't make sense because they left their land for no reason, and honestly they got enough screentime. The Horned Sharptooth definitely didn't get enough, he could've been the next Plated Sharptooth if the creators gave the wandering sharptooth the justice he needed :)

You do make a point that Featherhead Sharpteeth would probably not leave "The Land of Fatherheaded Sharpteeth." I do wish the Carnotaurus had more screen time and was able to battle Grand Pa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn, or at least one on one with Topsy while Grand Pa Longneck helps Bron.

I sadly have never seen Red Claw (except the tribe in the Star Fox Adventures, Nintendo GameCube). As for the Horned Sharptooth, He is by far my favorite sharptootg, even more so than the original sharp tooth (sacrilege I know).

Finally, after years of putting it off, I watched this movie. My verdict?

It was okay. I mean it in a positive way, but I feel like they could've done more with it. It felt quite minimalistic compared to past LBT movies (including the dreaded Movie 13). Then again, some of the crew (including the director and writers) are new, and I doubt they had the budget to afford more than what we got, so I guess I can give them a pass.

POSITIVES:

-Continuity references: I'm surprised they actually mentioned the death of Littlefoot's mother here. I think this was the first time they were this upfront about it (correct me if I'm wrong). It actually helped strengthen the urgency to save Bron for me. Oh, and of course, they actually brought Chomper, Ruby, and Bron back for this. They didn't really have to since today's generation might not know who these characters are, so this tells me the crew knew their stuff and wanted to appease older fans too.

-Grandpa Longneck: Surprisingly, I thought the new voice was quite appropriate. Yes, Kenneth Mars would've done a better job, but I believe there was a certain energy to his voice that gave Grandpa a sort of "still-in-his-prime" feeling. That energy is gone with Barry Bostwick, whose treatment instead communicated the fact that Grandpa is getting older and older, and he could be reaching the end of his days. At least that's how I saw it. So yeah, I didn't mind the new voice. (RIP Kenneth Mars, BTW. His last acting role was as Grandpa on the TV series. The character truly died with him.)

-Theme: The theme of leadership and teamwork was really pronounced here, which I found to be quite interesting. Littlefoot and Cera's conflict in the middle of the movie over how to navigate the group was a pretty sweet callback to the first movie. I think this is the first time in God knows how long where we see their relationship and differences in-depth.

MIXED FEELINGS:

-Songs: The songs are definitely a mixed bag. I liked "Look for the Light" and "Better Off Alone" and thought their tunes were pretty catchy. "Hot and Stinky" and "Today's the Day", on the other hand...eh. Definitely lower-ranked in my LBT playlist.

-Tone: Of course, this is a by-product of having new people on the crew, especially at the helm, but the tone was so strikingly all over the place. There are some scenes that definitely felt like LBT, but there were others that seemed out-of-place and even inconsequential, such as the Diggers scene.

-New characters: Etta and Wild Arms are definitely no Yellow Bellies, but I feel like more could've been done with those characters. Etta's only seen flying in a flashback, since her wing was singed, but they could've used her wing injury as a device for her own character development. Maybe she actively tries to save Bron from the Fire Mountain but got injured and couldn't, and now she has to live with it. She regains her flight when she gets over her guilt and a second chance presents itself. As for Wild Arms, he screamed "antagonist" to me, so they shouldn't have taken the safe road and instead just RUN AWAY with his traits of cowardice and arrogance. The fact that he gets off at the end of the movie just took me aback. On a positive note, I think Reba McEntire and Damon Wayans did well with what they were given.

NEGATIVES:

-Mr. Threehorn: Unlike Grandpa, his new voice is just so...UGH. There was nothing positive to glean from the new voice.

-Action sequences: My favorite parts of the LBT movies were always the scenes featuring Sharpteeth. So, when your new LBT entry leaves me unimpressed with the Sharpteeth scenes, you know you did something wrong. This is the first LBT movie to feature two different Sharpteeth species as antagonists, and yet, all three Sharpteeth were somehow bungled. I feel like didn't have enough budget to flesh out the scenes more, which is why the Sharpteeth scenes didn't feel as impressive. There wasn't even a payoff to it all; they just had Grandpa and Mr. Threehorn of all people (or dinosaurs, I should say) HIDE from the Carnotaurus, which just felt like a whole load of crap. They could've had all the adults face off against all three Sharpteeth in one final, climactic sequence, as another user had suggested before.

-Supporting characters: There was a surprising lack of supporting characters. It was only Grandpa and Mr. Threehorn who went out to the Mysterious Beyond to find the kids, which I found very unusual. It's usually all the parents, at the very least. Speaking of which, we didn't get to see Tria and/or Tricia. And on that note, we didn't even get to see SHORTY, who should've been with Bron's herd from the get-go. That is just...a whole other level of mind-boggling.

So yeah, overall, not a bad movie, and I don't regret watching it. Some areas were particularly disappointing, though. If they are working on a sequel (which I'm still hoping for), hopefully they're now more comfortable with the playing field and get a bigger budget, because I feel like the budget might've been lower than usual for this movie.

If there's going to be no more sequels (which is probably the case at this point), then I'm glad the franchise ended on this note and not that of LBT 13. The narrator saying Littlefoot had found something he hadn't been looking for (the value of his friends and friendship) was quite poignant for me. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the franchise (aside from the gang growing up and having kids of their own, of course, but that would've taken an infinitely bigger budget).

I'll still have to think about where this movie ranks in my list of favorite LBT movies. But, other than that, not too shabby. Not too shabby indeed.

@Dr.Rex,

I am glad you finally saw Journey of the Brave. I agree with most of your review. There were many wasted opportunties, especislly a climax with all adults versus the three Sharpteeth (I guess LBTX was the last time we got to see three Sharpteeth vs Bron and Gang). I however, disagree respectfully about the Diggers and Horned Sharptooth. The diggers and Cesar Petrie was a great gag, and the Horned Sharptooth as I aforementoned was the closest menance since The Original Sharptooth; He even leapt like him.

Your thoughts on Etta and Wild Arms was fascinating. I agree Etta should have as you said a chance to redeem herself and fly again in heroic fashion. Wild Arms as a villian or antagonist would have been interesting, that he was a Pterano type and left Bron on purpose would have been dark, something LBT needs a little of.

The omission of Tria and Shorty was disappointing. The new voices overs, particularly Grandpa Longneck and Topsy were fair, but no one can replace Kenneth Mars. He was Grandpa and for those of us who had no living grandpas, a surrogate grandpa via LBT.

If LBTXIV is the end, it is as you said a fitting one. Journey of the Brave is high on my favorites list:

1. LBT IV
2. LBT VI
3. LBT V
4. LBT XIV
5. LBT X

You misunderstood. I didn't have any qualms about the Horned Sharptooth, specifically. I actually thought he was quite cool despite the brief screentime he got. And that's where the root of my problem with the movie's Sharpteeth lies at.

I respectfully disagree with the Diggers, though. I thought it was going to lead somewhere in which Petrie had to actually demonstrate real leadership skills (such as efficiently guiding the group and/or the Diggers through another sandstorm), but like you said, their scene was just for gag purposes. IMHO, gags should have some sort of payoff in the end, regardless of how long it takes to get to it. For example, in the beginning of LBT X, Littlefoot pokes at Cera's pride after he mocks sleep stories, and he gets her to try and literally split a huge rock in half. Of course, it ends miserably for her, all in the name of a good laugh for the audience. Then, near the end, Cera tries again on another rock, and though she doesn't actually split it in half, the impact does dislodge a good chunk of the top, which falls and hits Shorty on the head. Let's not forget that Cera was at first scared to try and hit a large rock headfirst, but on the second occasion, you don't hear anymore hesitation from her. This little C-plot may have been inconsequential in the grander scheme of things, but when compared beside one another, the two instances in the beginning and the end will show you a tiny snippet of Cera's character development in the film.

Can't say I observed something similar with Petrie and the Diggers. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

^I’ve noticed Sharpteeth are getting shorter screentime since LBTXI. I love the Horned Sharptooth, his behavior and sound (if you listen closely) is very Original Sharptooth. I agree he got too little screentime; I would have preferred he be the sole antagonist and they omit the Featherheaded Sharpteeth and gave the Horned Sharptooth their screen time. Instead of thd Land of the Featherhead Shadpteeth, it could have been called The Land of Shadow or the Land of the Horned Sharptooth and they could have made allusions to him being like a devil of sorrs.

I agree that the Digger bit was too short and did not have totally satisfying conclusion. Cesar Petrie was too shorf, and I would have preferred that Petrie order the Diggers to help find the underwater and cave system that lead to Bron.

Exactly my points! And the Horned Sharptooth being treated like a devil sounds like an awesome setup for an antagonist such as that! Can't see why they didn't go that route.

They didn't even HAVE to use the word "devil" if they wanted to avoid any religious connotations; there are plenty of synonyms they could've used.

It would have been far more engaging to have a sharptooth that reminds the Gang of the original, oppose to the more tame specimens we’ve had. They could have used LBT language for “devil” like “Shadowwalker” because of his dark complexion or Shadowtooth. Something.

^I’ve noticed Sharpteeth are getting shorter screentime since LBTXI. I love the Horned Sharptooth, his behavior and sound (if you listen closely) is very Original Sharptooth. I agree he got too little screentime; I would have preferred he be the sole antagonist and they omit the Featherheaded Sharpteeth and gave the Horned Sharptooth their screen time. Instead of thd Land of the Featherhead Shadpteeth, it could have been called The Land of Shadow or the Land of the Horned Sharptooth and they could have made allusions to him being like a devil of sorrs.

I agree that the Digger bit was too short and did not have totally satisfying conclusion. Cesar Petrie was too shorf, and I would have preferred that Petrie order the Diggers to help find the underwater and cave system that lead to Bron.

I find it odd how Tress MacNeille got fired as both Petrie and Ducky's Mother.

Was she just considered not good enough after a 7 year hiatus or did they prefer to used 2 of the already hired voice cast?

It could also be because, like you said, it was on a 7 year hiatus and they simply wished to bring fresh voice actors into it, but I kinda see your point of it being unnecessary. People age, and that likely may have played a part as well.

I also noticed the similarity...Littlefoot and Cera fight, and then the Gang splits up, with Littlefoot on his own and Cera leading the others. I thought that latter detail was kind of an absurd thing to rehash. (Ducky, Petrie, Spike--what on earth are you guys siding with Cera again for?? You've learned how that goes!) If there was one problem I had with XIV, it was that.
Fortunately, though, that was the only big problem I had with XIV! :Mo I enjoyed the rest of the movie enough that I was able to roll my eyes at the rehashed bit and move on. Ever since the franchise seemed to end on the disappointing note that was XIII, I'd been dreaming (sometimes literally!) about a new LBT movie happening, so finding out XIV was going to happen, anticipating its release, and finally getting my hands on it brought back all the feels for me!

I felt the same way, it was so disappointing to let it end on XIII. Too bad XIV wasn't enough to kick the franchise back up. But I believe we'll get a remake or a new tv series, even if it takes another ten years to do so.

Perhaps they will add the rest of the movies over time. That seems like the most logical approach as it would make people inquire why only the original was added to Netflix.

They'd be fools not to include all the LBT movies eventually. There's just too much of them, and there are people who'll wonder why the original is taking precedence when they have favorites among the sequels.

I can understand that people may expect their favorites to come out immediately, but they're setting themselves up for disappointment. Like I said, the most logical approach is to release them chronologically, but don't count the possibility out of seeing them sooner than anticipated just yet.

Isn't it based on how much they want to pay for the rights?

It's not that tons of people don't want to watch the sequels up until the 14th but if Netflix buys the rights to sequels that most people wouldn't have interest in watching then they would see it as a waste of an investment.

The original is still very popular compared to the sequels in terms of audience viewing and the sequels saw a decline in interest the more DVDs came out.

This gave me a thought. Doesn't Netflix have like a metric ton of shows for kids and toddlers of questionable content already? Clearly, there is a high demand for family friendly entertainment. They've also had huge success bringing back things like HTTYD and Jurassic World with Camp Cretaceous.

If they could get the rights, they basically have a free, episodic show on their hands, and a fairly high quality one too. They could release the sequels chronologically one a time to amp up interest. I think the movies would hold up well.

Not sure about the TV show since I haven't seen any of it.

I gotta say, I ended up liking this one more than I expected. 13 was a massive disappointment, unfortunately, so expectations were fairly low to be fair. But I ended up liking it. I feel some of the third act conflicts felt a bit contrived (really, Cera should trust Littlefoot by now, and Littlefoot should know better than to break up the gang over some minor disagreement) but I really liked Etta and the new feathered Sharp Teeth were awesome.

It was a bit jarring to have all the voice actors replaced though.

Yeah Littlefoot breaking up the Gang was out of character. It coukd have been more smooth if he said something like, “I won’t lose my Father like I lost my mother!” That one line would have made it clear Littlefoot breaking up the gang is enotional, he has tunnel vision to save his only living parent.

Precisely! That would have made his decision to push on a lot more understandable. And you could give Cera some actually valid reason to want to turn back as well. Like, maybe there is an approach sandstorm (it happened later when they were already separated) or maybe pressing on would mean running into the Sharp Teeth again, or something else that would the conflict more genuine and less contrived and make Cera's perceptive make more sense.

What could have worked is Cera hears her Dad, Topsy, who with Grandpa, Chomper, and Ruby are engaging the Featherheaded Sharpteeth. Cera wants to help her dad, while Littefoot wants to press on to help his dad. That would make Littlefoot and Cera equals in motivation.

Honestly, I think this movie is a lot better than what a lot of people online give it credit for, imo! I think the animation was better than 13 even though it wasn't as good as the older ones, and I liked the story and bringing back Littlefoot's dad. I was only disappointed that the voice characters had changed, and that the gang broke up again like before. But overall I remember really liking it!

PLUS- feathered rexies!!  :bestsharptooth

The Feathered Sharpteeth and their land was really cool. I thought that was one of best parts of the film.

I agree! Loved how they established it as their land, setting this up as this dangerous trip.

I reminded me of Jason and Argonaughts; like a maze with a Minotaur, in this case dinosaurs. :)

I gotta say, I ended up liking this one more than I expected. 13 was a massive disappointment, unfortunately, so expectations were fairly low to be fair. But I ended up liking it. I feel some of the third act conflicts felt a bit contrived (really, Cera should trust Littlefoot by now, and Littlefoot should know better than to break up the gang over some minor disagreement) but I really liked Etta and the new feathered Sharp Teeth were awesome.

It was a bit jarring to have all the voice actors replaced though.

Yeah Littlefoot breaking up the Gang was out of character. It coukd have been more smooth if he said something like, “I won’t lose my Father like I lost my mother!” That one line would have made it clear Littlefoot breaking up the gang is enotional, he has tunnel vision to save his only living parent.
YES! A quote like that would've given a lot more sense and logic to Littlefoot's motivations.

Well, I agree, if Littlefoot spoke that line, it would make scene more emotional and understandable.
But wasn't it obvious already that his reason to break up with gang is to find and save his father as quickly as he can, despite dangerous path? What else reason he could have?

When I first saw that scene, I kinda felt vibes of first movie, actually, but this time, Littlefoot and Cera changed places. Yes, that's absolutely different case this time, but we again have two different paths, and again Littlefoot and Cera choose different ways.This time, unlike previous case, there's huge possibility that both paths will end up in the same destination, but one path is very dangerous, other one is more safe.

This time, Littlefoot refused to listen voice of reason, Cera had a point after all. Maybe, this scene was even better, if after Littlefoot spoke that line, Cera would counter with "You won't help your father if you die on the way", or something like that. I believe they both would stay with their characters in this case.

Great analysis @Sneak. I enjoyed reading it. I agree with your points.

While I was watching I did get the idea that Littlefoot's mind was muddled by the panic about his dad, especially when he said that they were all slowing him down and that if they didn't all stop, he would be with his dad by now (or he'd still be trying to find the moving water, who knows :lol). But I think a few more lines about Littlefoot not wanting to lose his dad (and maybe mentioning his mother :p) would have helped.

They did kind of do this when they got to the land of the featherhead sharpteeth and Littlefoot mentioned that if they delay or go around they might be too late to help Bron, to which Cera replied, "If we get eaten, we won't help him either." That line might have been better off for the breakup scene.

I agree that Cera was the voice of reason in this film. The gang had probably taken just as long trying to make their way through the featherhead sharpteeth land, getting lost finding the river, getting lost/stuck after the sandstorm, etc. as they would have done if they had gone Cera's way through the Long Valley, if not longer. Cera appeared to know the way, it seemed to be less known for predator activity, and... I guess it would have made for a less exciting film? :rhett_smile

Would have been funny if the gang got to the fire mountain only to find the adults already there because they went through the Long Valley.  :cerasmug There they could have joined up to rescue Bron, when the Carnotaurus shows up. Grandpa and Mr. Threehorn go and hold it off while the kids save Bron. I'll leave my wishful thinking there. :PLoofah

I haven’t watched this since just after it was released, but from what I remember, I really liked this one. It stands with 3, 5, and 9 as my favorite. I felt it showed the creators had learned a lot from the mistakes of past sequels. The writing, pace and plot were all incredibly solid, the songs (aside from the second one, which I agree with most people was terrible) were all good, and the new Wild Arms character was really enjoyable.

I hope this isn’t the last film of the franchise, since after watching it, it feels, for the first time in a while, like there’s the potential for more good LBT stories. But if it is, I’m at least glad the franchise went out on a good note, especially compared to the previous film. I never watched LBT 13, but it’s no secret how bad it is, although I chalk that up to it being created at the same time as the TV series.

Yep, it really puts things into perspective.  I still remember when the news broke about the 14th film and it was reported on the forum. We're getting old.  :p

I'm starting to feel that this movie was made with no intentions of making more. Universal probably saw how disappointed fans were with The Wisdom of Friends so they decided to give us a more satisfying conclusion to the franchise.

It also bridged the series and movies together, making it one cohesive whole. If it is the last LBT movie, I am glad we got a Carnotaur Sharptooth, and some fun times.
