Title: When should we expect news about LBT 15?
Post by: Sovereign on December 14, 2016, 12:57:08 PM
I just wanted to speculate about the schedule of the first signs of LBT 15, if it's going to be made. Unless I remember wrong, our first announcement about Journey of the Brave was by Aria Curzon, , in her interview in November 2014, followed by Felix Avitia's tweets. I'd assume the production had started sometime in the spring, meaning JOTB was nearly two years in development.

I don't know why Universal decided to resurrect LBT when they did but they likely wished to see whether there was potential for getting continued revenue with the franchise. We don't know the final sale numbers of JOTB so it might well be that LBT 15 won't happen anytime soon.  :cry But if JOTB sold well enough, it's possible the production started in summer or fall. If the first leaks come in somewhat same schedule, it's possible we'll hear about LBT 15 sometime in the spring. All of this is just speculation and wishful thinking but I guess we'll see next year. If we're in December 2017 without news, I guess JOTB wasn't good enough...  :(petrie

I suspect that the revenue obtained in the latest film will not exactly make the executives excited about the prospect of another film.  As for right now JOTB has apparently grossed only $3,046,807 after nearly a year, whereas the twelfth film had obtained more than that amount ($3,913,169) by its second week.  Likewise, in terms of videos sold, JOTB appears to be just under 50% of the twelfth film's performance.

Wow that's shocking that this poorly made movie sold that many copies that surprise's me a lot. If they got a new director that doesn't insult kids intelligence than yeah Someday I'd like to see a new Land Before Time movie.

The last weekly data is from March (at about week 26) but the total number at the top of the page appears to be updated data.

The signs aren't really encouraging but we can hope that something has happened in the overseas sales in the 10 years since the Great Day of the Fliers or that the numbers aren't correct. If not... at least we got one extra film. That's one more than we expected but next year we'll know.

sad realistic news...
:/


I still dream about movie that can be launched on cinemas and nobody feels shame after seeing that.
Characters grow up (not too much, teenage would be enough). Old atmosphere of original returns. Huge possibilities for plot...
And huge possibilities to release this!

Unfortunately, it's outside the border of possibility right now...
What studio and what man can bring it to life?

sigh

good nobody can kill my dreams. It warms me, and keeps tiny spark of hope inside me.

I think the likelihood that LBT 15 is going to happen at this point is still higher than the likelihood of LBT 14 happening after LBT 13 and the tv-series...

I think all we can do is "keep eyes and ears open" :)

I doubt it'll happen. I only want to see another movie if they put some serious thought and character development into it.

Of course the people who run this franchise probably don't know there's a bunch of nerds who go over every little detail of it and want to see more PG-13 kind of stories haha

Even tho that would be awesome and I'd love to see that that's never gonna happen. And true there was not enough effort in the fourteen movie. We would want to see more effort into the next one if it happens but I'd highly doubt it. After the 13th movie witch was the worst one I was shocked to see a 14th movie.

It's been a year since the release of JOTB and I'm pretty disappointed with the fact that we don't know whether there's going to be a 15th film. For some reason, I thought that it would resume the tradition of a yearly LBT film or Season 2 and technically it could still happen. When I saw the film, I thought that my hopes weren't misguided but the sales speak their own grim language. We'll see but I hoped and actually expected JOTB to have done better. Anyway, happy first anniversary to JOTB. :p

The the movie was poorly done and made but had some decent parts in it. The songs where horrible but I liked Reba Macintires song she sung. But seeing a 15th movie maybe in the near future it will be made with more effort and a better director. And can't believe it's been a year already since it came out how time flies.

Yeah I wouldn't Mind that and they gang will have kids of there own. I would like to see that someday. That would be a good fifteenth movie. But it needs to be made right and made with effort with a good storyline.

I wouldn't mind widening the LBT universe but I'm not crazy about the idea of a next generation. In the end, I can't see it giving the franchise really too many new things. It's highly unlikely that "a new Gang" could ever replace the original one and I personally don't think "a normal adulthood" would give the main characters and their struggles justice. Should Universal wish to widen LBT universe, I'd prefer a new place with completely new characters while still retaining a clear link to the characters and places we know. LBT bears so much potential with many new places and personal struggles in places far from the Great Valley to explore. Of course, if "a new generation" is done well I wouldn't mind it but I see much more promise in completely different places and stories.

please, don't respond on this my post with the same commentary about LBT14 and its poor director guy. thanks :D

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

I'm too silly, so I can't imagine what should happen some people make sequel that differs from LBT2-LBT14 movies.
And how much chance it will be turned into something GOOD?
Can you tell me, guys?

------

Oh...
Sweet dreams about new LBT movie that can be placed in the same shovel with holy original cartoon...

I had that dream 5 days ago when I was in train. It was short (~30mins in dream time, lol) movie that was made for special competition, and Don Bluth himself was involved in production. Oo


and you know what?
this dream MADE ME WATCH LBT14. for the very first time.
after 9 years... FINALLY.

*moves to LBT 14 thread*

-------

Oh, and since I watched JoB, and since I have some SERIOUS questions...

Did somebody contact with movie creators and voices cast after release? Did they say something about LBT14 and possible sequel?

Difficult to say how big chances are... and what quality to look for. I was having kinda high hopes for LBT 14 and ended up being a little bit disappointed about it to be honest. I wasn't expecting something extremely well made but I, at least, expected the movie to be better than LBT 13 in all regards. In some, it was, but I'm not sure which movie I like less now  :unsure:

Anyway, what should happen? Well, the most important thing is, in my opinion, that the action becomes more serious again. Let's be honest, LBT 14 felt like a mix of the silliness of LBT 13 and some tv-series episodes and a poor attempt to copy some themes of the first movie. The animation didn't convince me either. All of these areas will have to be improved when they want to make sequels again that actually have the potential to be great... and selling well for that matter. My biggest wish is a collaboration between the fans and the studios. I'm sure the result would be a movie we can be proud of again...

I do not know. However, I'm sure people will keep an eye on what they post on social media. LBT 14 was first spoiled by Ducky's voice actor after all. And, maybe, Universal puts stricter bans on them this time? LBT 14 was spoiled over a year before it was actually released. Maybe they want to keep it a secret that they're working on a new movie if they are this time? I don't know...

Post by: ADFan185 on February 08, 2017, 04:21:59 AM
I can agree that this movie did feel like that but even tho it was poorly made it's just a tad bit better than movie thirteen. The new characters the diggers where actually good and not annoying like the yellow bellys where. God those characters killed the the series and where not needed at all. If a new one does get made let's hope they do get the fans input and make it a great movie.

Post by: Hypno on February 08, 2017, 06:55:35 PM
Hopefully yeah. Also having the movie be kept a secret for a while and only be revealed near release would be awesome, but it would be a little hard + leaks too. It would probably make people a little more excited if they find out near release, say, a few months or less, that there will be another movie.

Jesus Christ, ADF, you really hate the fourteenth movie with a passion, don't you?

Anyway, I think a fifteenth movie's still possible. If there was such a big time gap between movies 13 and 14, then I think anything's possible.

I also like the idea of a spin-off focusing on new characters and new places. I would like to see what it'd be like following a nomadic herd of one dinosaur species. That'd be totally different yet intriguing to see.

I don't think it necessarily means that. There are a lot of reasons why it took them this long to get LBT 14 out. Did the crew say exactly why it took so long for another movie to come out?

I don't think anyone involved in production ever gave a reason.

Most people here believe the series had stopped at 13 because that was the first sequal to end up in the red, snd they probably didn't want to go any further and possibly lose more money. They also mostly think Universal really only decided to do 14 because they had new Jurassic Park movies in production, and they just thought they could actually make a profit from releasing a kids dinosaur movie after Jurassic World came out.

Though, from numbers Rhombus have posted, it doesn't seem like it made much money. Doubtful at this point if movie 14 actually ended up making any profit at all. it most likely ended in the red, just like 13. :cry

Probably around 2018 or 2019. I am estimating based on the gap between "The Wisdom of Friends" and "Journey of the Brave." I think it would be grand if a company like Netflix or Amazon.com funded Land Before Times films, it would be similar to how Netflix took over "VeggieTales." Then potentially we could have a film every year, and perhaps another series.

Jurassic World 2 gives me some hope. Maybe a trailer after the release of that and then an early 2019 release? Not sure yet. All we have to do is wait. While we do that, I'll be over on the wiki improving stuff, and looking for lost scenes of the original film.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 18, 2017, 04:55:18 PM
I will forever believe that the failure of Journey of the Brave boiled more down to two main factors than the quality of the movie.  Now, while I will admit that the movie itself isn't that great, I still find it better than 13, and many will agree that's an improvement.

From the outset, one could argue that Journey of the Brave was doomed to failure.  This was either due to incompetence, stupidity or some sort of strategy to ensure failure.  I'd bet more on the first two, but let's get down to what happened.

When Journey of the Brave was nearing release, it was revealed that it would only be sold at Walmart on Launch Day and then later sent to other retailers.  Now, while this wouldn't be too bad if those release dates of different retailers were only days apart, the release to other retailers didn't happen for quite a few months.  Yes, you read right, MONTHS!  I don't care if your excuse is "we'll see how it does here first", this is inexcusable.  There are those who refuse to shop at Walmart.  This is especially true in smaller towns where they've gotten a reputation for being the reason that other businesses close their doors for good.  Not to mention that you alienate yourself from towns that have banned the building of a Walmart. (Yes, they exist.) Yes, they did branch themselves out to other retailers eventually, but I fear it was too little too late.  Anyone will tell you to branch out to as many retailers as possible, as quickly as possible, or you miss out on sales.  Really, I don't know what the sales strategist was thinking here.

Another thing I feel hurt it was that there was NO Spanish option for the US release of the movie.  No audio or subtitles for those that speak Spanish.  With the US having such a large population, and 13% of them being native Spanish speakers, (As of 2015.) that's really not a number you want to ignore.  Also, don't go telling me that ALL or most of them can fluently speak English, my own testimony would prove you wrong.  I run into people who hardly speak English EVERY SINGLE DAY I work and I have to try and help them.  At least give a Spanish Captions Option.  It's the least you can do to get 13% of the US population to buy your movie.

I will forever believe that the failure of Journey of the Brave boiled more down to two main factors than the quality of the movie.  Now, while I will admit that the movie itself isn't that great, I still find it better than 13, and many will agree that's an improvement.

From the outset, one could argue that Journey of the Brave was doomed to failure.  This was either due to incompetence, stupidity or some sort of strategy to ensure failure.  I'd bet more on the first two, but let's get down to what happened.

When Journey of the Brave was nearing release, it was revealed that it would only be sold at Walmart on Launch Day and then later sent to other retailers.  Now, while this wouldn't be too bad if those release dates of different retailers were only days apart, the release to other retailers didn't happen for quite a few months.  Yes, you read right, MONTHS!  I don't care if your excuse is "we'll see how it does here first", this is inexcusable.  There are those who refuse to shop at Walmart.  This is especially true in smaller towns where they've gotten a reputation for being the reason that other businesses close their doors for good.  Not to mention that you alienate yourself from towns that have banned the building of a Walmart. (Yes, they exist.) Yes, they did branch themselves out to other retailers eventually, but I fear it was too little too late.  Anyone will tell you to branch out to as many retailers as possible, as quickly as possible, or you miss out on sales.  Really, I don't know what the sales strategist was thinking here.

Another thing I feel hurt it was that there was NO Spanish option for the US release of the movie.  No audio or subtitles for those that speak Spanish.  With the US having such a large population, and 13% of them being native Spanish speakers, (As of 2015.) that's really not a number you want to ignore.  Also, don't go telling me that ALL or most of them can fluently speak English, my own testimony would prove you wrong.  I run into people who hardly speak English EVERY SINGLE DAY I work and I have to try and help them.  At least give a Spanish Captions Option.  It's the least you can do to get 13% of the US population to buy your movie.

These are the two main factors I feel caused more harm to the sales figures of the movie than the quality of it.  I will forever stand by that.
I agree that selling it at just Wal-Mart was a big mistake. I had actually complained about this before it was released.

I think LBT XV will coincide with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Universal which produces the JP/JW films will likely make another LBT if they think it will compliment JW: Fallen Kingdom and they see the market for Dinosaurs is expanding again.

I just have a bad feeling that Universal made too big of an own goal with the marketing of JOTB to even consider a 15th film. As for contacting the newer staff, I cannot see why we couldn't do that. The problem is, most of the animators have Korean names so I'm not sure if they can speak English. As for the other people, there's a chance they've made so much animation that they don't have a strong feeling for LBT anymore. Still, if we find someone's contact info, we can certainly try.  ;)

Concerning the Jurassic Park theory, the Youtuber LBT Squad said that if we aren't receiving any news from LBT 15 by next year's May, it's clear that LBT has been frozen for now. On the positive side, the LBT Facebook page just got the first LBT-related update for the first time in a year. Even if the message was just an announcement to get a discount for Despicable 3 in theaters, it's nice to see that the page hasn't been totally forgotten.  :)

With 2018 being the release of Jurassic World and the 30th anniversary, and that LBT TV series likely official YouTube channel uploading the episodes of "Season 1", I feel like something is going on. Something is going on with another movie or more episodes, at least that is what I'm thinking right now.

I'm hoping for the best. We may get news within now to next summer, hopefully :)
Title: When should we expect news about LBT 15?
Post by: Sovereign on August 11, 2017, 04:05:52 PM
I truly hope you're right but it is is a good point that JOTB was a financial failure. While it is possible that Universal remembers how much money they made with LBT in the past, I'm not sure what to believe at this point. That Jurassic Park connection is just a rumor and we still don't know about the YT channel. I'd be overjoyed if these predictions were proved to be true but these kinds of small details don't always have something to do with a larger picture. On the bright side, we'll know if they're true within a year.  :)

On a side note, should we be happy about the view counts for the episodes? They range from 50k to 500k and are increasing rapidly but is that enough for Universal? Also, why is there so many dislikes? The TV series are far from perfect but I don't still understand why some 1/5 of the likes/dislikes belong to the latter category.  :(petrie
Title: When should we expect news about LBT 15?
Post by: Hypno on August 11, 2017, 04:26:03 PM
I think the views are a good thing. It means that they are getting lots of attention. The Hidden Canyon's view count is now approaching 600k.

About the dislikes; it could be the children clicking the dislike button because there was something the child didn't like. There's so many children logged into their parent's accounts and posting comments it's insane. They spam with random letters, even replying to MY comments like that.

EDIT: About the Youtube channel, if it's not official, Universal should be taking down soon, seeing how much attention it's getting. So if it's not DMCA'd pretty soon, I guess we can assume it IS official.

The Hidden Canyon episode just crossed 1M viewers and the videos are still up. I guess we can suppose that the channel is official after all.  :) I just hope the viewer count is enough to impress Universal even if most of the other episodes haven't crossed even 100k viewers. I just wonder why does the Hidden Canyon get so many viewers as I found that episode pretty mediocre.  :unsure:

Both episodes with Red Claw in the thumbnail have gotten the most views. I think having a villain there is more attractive to the 90% of the audience (being children) that are watching.

Maybe these episodes were uploaded to hype us up for Jurassic World Evolution?

Since you're online, I'll answer this here. There are actually a number of episodes that have passed well more than 100k views. Going by the proper episode order here, not the incorrect one they have: Episode 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 18 have exceeded 100k views, and some have WAY passed that, like The Brave Longneck Scheme, which has over 500k views, and is the most viewed episode that doesn't have Red Claw as the thumbnail picture.

Title: When should we expect news about LBT 15?

They should be surprised that such a lesser known TV series got that many views, and there are still a lot of people who like LBT and haven't noticed the videos yet. Also, I've checked the other channels linked on it, and none of them (even shows that are more popular and known, such as Casper) are getting nearly as many views or subscribers.

If that isn't enough for them, then don't expect the other shows to do good on YT. And it would be a good time for a reboot, considering there seems to be a lot of people noticing the episodes. A lot of videos on YT don't get nearly as many views as a million, especially TV show full episodes. I know what it's like, I've been on the site for years and years, and have seen lots of view and subscriber counts.

And yes, finally, after more than 8 months, he finally revealed, that The Big City was just an April Fools joke :rolleyes: :p

It's June, and no news yet. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is coming out at various dates in the first half of the month in various countries.


I think at this point we will have to wait for late 2018, when LBT has its 30th anniversary. I'm not sure what Universal is going to do when that time comes around, hopefully something. Hopefully not simply a re-release of the first movie. Hopefully LBT XV. If we don't get news then, we can say bye for the LBT franchise for now, again.

Honestly, at this point, the only new LBT content that I would even bet a penny on us seeing is a lousy Netflix spinoff kinda like Spirit: Riding Free, or perhaps a Netflix original movie. There also could be a remake of the original down the pike. If I’m recalling correctly, Jorney of the Brave made Universal FAR less money than Wisdom of Friends did (which is a shame, because Journey of the Brave was a VAST improvement over Wisdom of Friends), so it’s pretty likely that Universal is just going to scrap LBT. :(

This is very interesting. At least Amblin is aware of LBT's popularity if they referenced it and not any of their other works in the tweet.

Realistically, I think it's going to be some remastered re-release coinciding with the 30th anniversary. But I do hope it's a new project of some kind. I'll even gladly take a reboot.

welp, @amblin on twitter JUST posted this so i thought i should rush over here and share haha:

We’ve lots of exciting film and TV projects coming this year and beyond, and so many beloved movies and series from our past to celebrate with all of you! You’re the best, Amblin fans!

* Nods to Littlefoot and the gang, yep, yep! (https://twitter.com/amblin/status/1009540592332890112)

first tweet in the thread is also a not-so-subtle reference, also hello again! it's been a while  :)littlefoot

Looks like that Amblin tweet had nothing to do with an LBT 15, it was simply a joke

To be honest, I'm not surprised, Amblin had nothing to do with the sequels after all.

Sad to hear it's not actually happening. I saw that we're getting a 30th anniversary playset (https://www.facebook.com/LandBeforeTimeMovies/photos/a.453312018128681.1073741828.452388161554400/1760780270715176/?type=3&theater) with 5 movies.

It's at $19,99 on Amazon. Maybe just a quick cash grab, but who knows, it might be a sign of things to come.

I hate it when people post tweets about potential upcoming projects and then they turn out to be jokes. It really hits me hard every time I realize that all that hope is false and all for nothing.

A playset with 5 movies? Hmm, maybe they'll release one set of 5, then another set of 5, and then one more set of 4? I mean, if you're gonna celebrate the series' 30th anniversary, shouldn't all 14 films be involved? Perhaps, since we already got a 14-movie DVD box set, maybe they'll release the whole series on Blu-Ray and make a set out of that? Just a thought.

As for the playset, I saw it on Amazon for pre-order a few weeks ago, and earlier today, I saw it out of the corner of my eye while I was walking past the DVD section at Target. It looks kinda cool, actually, and I might want to try and get my hands on one of them. :exactly

That's fair enough even if things are far from encouraging these days. Soon it'll be three years since JOTB and we still have no information from Universal they even consider the series to be alive. It's true that there was a 8-year gap between the TV series and JOTB but after another financial debacle, it's probable the threshold for Universal to start resurrecting LBT again will be even higher. As for the initial tweet, no one here can say, but I hope that person gets fired asap. x(cera

But yeah, for serious reply, I actually am surprised by the timing of this mention given that LBT is nearing its 30th anniversary, especially given that they already made a Blu-Ray release for the original film so a re-release seems a little underwhelming.

Perhaps, probably bad timing is at fault here but I'm not them so I really can't say.

I think the key is to get a new generation interested in dionsaurs. I hate to admit it, but LBT might have to take a chapter from Pixar and Illumination and start making their films in that kind of animation. LBT needs another theatrical release to really revive the franchise. They need Stephen Spielberg to executive produce, and a cast of voice overs that can be instantly recognized like in the Ice Age movies.

Given how the original is such a classic, I greatly resent the idea of letting the series shift to CGI. Traditional animation has become a dying breed, and I would hate for it to become extinct in the film industry. We're living in a time where I would declare traditional animation to be the equivalent of an endangered species, and if they ever do make LBT XV, they'll need to understand that some changes may be needed while others won't quite be necessary. This is one of many complaints I have about how children's media feels inferior compared to about 30 years ago.

As much as I would love for traditional 2D animation to flourish like it did during the Renaissance age of Animation, I'm forced to admit that 3D CGI animation will stay for quite a while (which isn't too bad, CGI animate films can look great given the budget) as it's just plain easier for the animators compared to hand-drawn animation and what the audience is after nowadays anyway. Not just for animated films, but to some extent cartoons as well. Heck, even the LBT sequels are partially CG-animated when outsourced.

That said, a traditionally animated reboot will be baller, but is less likely to happen than a live-action Land Before Time.

Is there not a new method of animation go convert 3D into 2D or in the very least make it possible to animate 2D as easily as 3D? Or has the techonology to make 2D as easy to animate not been invented because of the lack of demand?

Since we're on the topic of 2D animation versus 3D animation, I'd actually like to point you guys to a short film released by Disney not too long ago, called "Paperman". It's a perfect blend of 2D and 3D animation and I think it looks beautiful.

If LBT is going to need a theatrical reboot to reel in new fans and keep the franchise alive, I think animating it like "Paperman" will ideally be the best way to go. It's the best of both worlds, so to speak.

While this news is nothing much of concern at the moment, I'll admit that the content posted is a bit different than what they usually do. While their older posts usually share movies, promote other content, or share releases of new LBT DVDS and LBT related content, their recent posts are out of nowhere kind of. First asking people if they remember that specific movie (Journey to Big Water) and then posting a Journey of the Brave picture seems a bit inconspicuous. Like, maybe a possible hype up for the 15th movie perhaps? Who knows, I'm just speculating and I haven't looked too deeply into their posting history, so they might've done something like that before.

Eh, what is everyone else's thought about it? :thinking

Returning to the forum after my hiatus, I guess I will reply to this first.

It is strange indeed that they would start posting on their Facebook page again out of nowhere. Does this mean we are going to get news of upcoming LBT content? Likely not at this point. But is there still a slight possibility? I think it is there.
Title: Re: When should we expect news about LBT 15?
Post by: Gentle Sharptooth on December 23, 2019, 05:55:41 AM
I doubt it'll happen. I only want to see another movie if they put some serious thought and character development into it.

Of course the people who run this franchise probably don't know there's a bunch of nerds who go over every little detail of it and want to see more PG-13 kind of stories haha

Seeing a more mature LBT is about as likely as seeing a Rated R Star Wars film from Disney. There is a pressure on the industry to sanitize so as to ensure all ages can see it. Its about the money. For myself this is not an issue, I prefer TLBT post the original, I enjoy the witty songs and lighthearted story telling with sense of adventure. If I want mature content, I have the Jurassic franchise.

What I do contend with is the dumbing down of the characters and songs post LBT X. It went from lines like “eggstasy” to “doobie flappy whoopy blue blue.” I was pleased Journey of the Brave was less preschoolesque, but it is a long road tell we return to “It Takes All Sorts.” (LBT IV).

Wait a minute...Dwane Johnson is starring as the character Noah in that hypothetical 15th movie, which is an apatosaurus, or Longneck. Eh, the species definitely doesn’t fit for him in my opinion. In regards of species that can be more fierce than a club tail...maybe Sharpteeth? I know the names of the most common carnivorous species, but I don’t know if they’d be a good fit. Unless you’re also trying to find another exclusive leaf eater species stronger than a club tail, then I have no ideas on that either.

Also, the IMBD page is for another version of LBT 15 entirely, so it doesn’t really relate to the LBT wiki article you presented here.

I wouldn't advise jumping to conclusions until we hear actual proof of this being true, but I suppose daydreaming doesn't hurt anyone. I'd imagine the Rock to voice a rather ominous and ghastly sharptooth based on his overall appearance, but he could easily be mistaken as a clubtail or threehorn as well. There are many theories flying around about this possible character, and we won't know until official announcement has been made. And if this page is from the fandom, I wouldn't rely on it actually being truthful. When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. :p

Honestly, the Rock voicing a Sharptooth would be super-disarming and awkward. My impression of him is that he's a giant with a heart of gold. Him being a tough leaf-eating dinosaur would suit his image better.

Honestly, the Rock voicing a Sharptooth would be super-disarming and awkward. My impression of him is that he's a giant with a heart of gold. Him being a tough leaf-eating dinosaur would suit his image better.

But the Wall is too tall, it keeps out Sharpteeth. Except that one time.. :p

I agree. Dwayne is tough but tender guy. His smile melts the most frozen hearts:

The idea of the sequels have always been to appeal to people who don't normanlly watch the movie series as a whole.

@Gentle Sharptooth to say that it depends on fans is a bit of a fast to comment on since most companies including Universal don't care about fans wanting it, if they know that they will continue to make a profit they will make another one.

If they believe they will lose money on another release they will not make another one.

And yes, Universal still owns The Land Before Time franchise.

I’m pretty sure Universal+ is just going to be a streaming service made exclusively for Spain, but still, putting it on that works too (since I’ve never seen Spain get Peacock).

I'm generally a bit of a negative Nelly as far as predicting new installments in the franchises I love. Strikes me as a way to set myself up for disappointment. In all truth though, I can absolutely see Universal pushing out another LBT sequel, if only to be a kid-friendly cash-in on the latest Jurassic World. At the same time, I can see them doing a full-on reboot because that's just so popular now. Might save them time and effort to just make another sequel, but it's hard to resist them cinematic universe bucks. Despite LBT already being a pretty solid base for a cinematic universe as it stands, if Universal would commit to a continuity. You could build a lot off of the pre-established characters, if the will was there, but I don't think it is particularly, at least, not within Universal's ranks.

I speculate too much. Pretty much, I do believe we'll get something eventually. Eventually. But I could just as easily be wrong and Journey of the Brave killed the franchise.

There wasn't a movie to tie into Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, so I think the chances of there being one tie tie into Dominion are very low at best.

I personally think that Journey of the Brave was just a one-off thing made to piggyback Universal's other dinosaur movie from that time, and that they didn't/still don't have any plans of following up on it in any way.

To be honest, I can't see LBT 15 being a thing at all unless there is a dino resurgence like Nanotyrannus said. But even then. If it doesn't make enough money, Universal isn't going to make it. I can see sometime in the distant future (like 10-50 years), we might get a remake of the LBT movies. After all, there were several remakes running around this last decade. Who knows? It'd be cool to see a more accurate depiction of the gang and the other prehistoric creatures. After all, I'd like to see Pterano return in one of these remakes, mainly because I can't see Pterano ever returning in the current series. It would also be pretty cool to see some darker themes, like, not mature themes per se, but material that addresses more serious matters like racism, climate change, and immigration like in the first movie.

Well, Fallen Kingdom made lots of money.  But due to negative reviews I believe, they probably never made the 15th film to the LBT franchise.  So it’s not just about the money, it’s also about if it’ll get positive reviews or not.

Fair point.

Another is the trend is to create verses, as in Marvelverse and etc; where there is a stream of movies, shows, books, games and etc that all connect and have parts of the story that complete the whole. I admit this would be hard for LBT to achieve in Pixar 3D animation era.

The tenties are the time of remakes. Given the long break in the creation of new parts of the LBT, the next part will be just a remake, not a sequel. This will probably be a remake of the very first part, created in the style of 3D animation.  :rolleye The chances for a two-dimensional cartoon to appear in our time are very small.

Maybe...

I think a more classic "2D-style" animation is a possibility. It would be CGI of course, although I have to believe that the latter sequels would have been mostly flash or something.

The problem is that the existing character designs don't necessarily translate well to CGI. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

At this point I'm happy to see anything at all really! Actually, and this is funny, but what my heart really years for is another sequel in the style of those we already have, building on those we already have. I don't feel the need for a reboot at all.

I think any storyline involving Chomper is going to have a lot of built-in-potential for emotion and conflict. On one hand, Littlefoot practically adopted Chomper and out of the entire gang seemed the most keen to care of him and to think of him as family.

On the other hand, Littlefoot also lost his mother to a Sharp Tooth, and there's gotta be some left over trauma there that I could imagine would make it harder for Littlefoot to deal with the fact that one of his best friends is actually an apex predator. It might make him uncomfortable level, although undoubtly he wouldn't want to show it, or even more likely, he might go into full on denial mode and refuse to reckon with it altogether.

Anyway, there is A LOT of potential there plotwise for a new sequel.

I'm surprised Universal went out of their way to give us a new LBT in Journey of the Brave only to leave the series to supposedly die again but I guess they were testing the waters to see if the series would still be popular with a new generation of kids and by the looks of it, it sadly wasn't the case.

Never say never, though. We all said the series was dead after Wisdom of Friends and look what happened.

I don't have that much hope for a 15th movie. Of course, it would be wonderful, but I highly doubt there will ever be a new movie.

Some shows and sequels intentionally come to an end, or some sort of conclusion.

And even if there were a movie to be made, we wouldn't know until the trailer comes out, as the creators and producers don't expect children to be searching on the internet for updated news. (little do they realize a forum exists about people constantly searching for news.)

In conclusion, I'd like a new movie, promised that they come up with a decent plot, but I'm not 100% sure that there will ever be a 15th one. But hey, atleast we got fanfiction!

Same! Would love to see more of Chompers parents. And I haven't watched the TV series but I still think the question of his future in the The Valley is completely unresolved.

You actually have a pretty good point, focus on the other main characters, and you’ll create a good movie (just like the 8th movie).

I think any storyline involving Chomper is going to have a lot of built-in-potential for emotion and conflict. On one hand, Littlefoot practically adopted Chomper and out of the entire gang seemed the most keen to care of him and to think of him as family.

On the other hand, Littlefoot also lost his mother to a Sharp Tooth, and there's gotta be some left over trauma there that I could imagine would make it harder for Littlefoot to deal with the fact that one of his best friends is actually an apex predator. It might make him uncomfortable level, although undoubtly he wouldn't want to show it, or even more likely, he might go into full on denial mode and refuse to reckon with it altogether.

Anyway, there is A LOT of potential there plotwise for a new sequel.
That is MOST CERTAINLY an idea befitting one of those coming-of-age stories.

A perfect kind of theme to end the LBT franchise on, if anything.

Also, I have a feeling that they might keep it in 2d, but in the style of 'who framed roger rabbit.'

Oh yeah that's likely. And that new My Little Pony movie went CGI but in a way that really recreates the 2d art style.

That said, dammit the more I think about it the more I hope for a 2d version. I'm just not sure the characters will be as expressive in 3d.

Me as well.  I'm over here giving suggestions about how the next movie should look, and we aren't even sure that there will ever be a new film.

I keep my hopes up too high...

It would be different, but I think I'd be okay with a LBT film in *that* kind of CGI.  :thinking

Depends on who's making it, if we do get another LBT film. If it's another DTV sequel, then I think it'll be the same 2D animation we've always had, given that Universal Animation Studios still uses it for Curious George, which I believe is the only thing they're continuing with film-wise at the moment. If it's a remake (and a theatrical release), then it'll probably be made by either Illumination or Dreamworks in CGI. I think something similar to what MLP did would work.

I've got a gut feeling JOTB isn't the last thing we're going to see of LBT. I'm wondering if the success of Jurassic World and more recently Camp Cretaceous might sway things in LBT's favour. JW covers the older audience, Camp Cretaceous covers older kids and teens since it has quite a lot of off screen deaths and some pretty serious action, and there's a gap for the younger kids that LBT could fill. Maybe. :p

But if there were to be a new film, Universal really needs to market it better. They made so many poor decisions with JOTB. Being a Walmart/Netflix exclusive for ages, no sign of any international release for ages (according to Amazon, the DVD didn't release in the UK until 2019  :!), and not much info out there for people who weren't specifically looking for new LBT content.

As laughable as the YouTube channel is, at least it shows that it hasn't been forgotten about. The numbers aren't bad on it either, considering it's a series that hasn't had anything new come out for 5 years. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If we get to the 9 year mark and still have nothing, that's when I'll finally admit that the series has probably reached its conclusion. :p

Yeah. I mean, it'd be especially poignant for all those who grew up on this franchise. After all, LBT was treasured by the 90s and 2000s kids.

Well, if it wasn’t announced, then it’s pretty obvious it was cancelled.  But I don’t know how somebody would know a movie’s existence if it wasn’t announced but then gets cancelled.

I'm gonna be honest while a 15th film would be nice I believe the franchise has served it's time (no pun intended) and should be put to rest. Plus considering all of the garbage Universal is putting out now it probably wouldn't be very good. I wasn't even a fan of Journey of the Brave anyway. But if Universal proves me wrong then I would be willing to see more out of the series.

I must say Universal is really not capitalizing on being the monopoly on dinos: they owning the Jurassic franchise and Land Before Time. I think a fifteenth film would more likely be a reboot.

I am surprised myself that they didn’t skip LBT 13, due to the cursed and unlucky 13. Ironically that is the film that kinda sank the franchise with its zaniness.

First off if it was to release it would be on peacock which not every country has so it wouldn't be as profitable.
Secondly theirs a nine year difference between 13 and 14 so given that time frame I would say if it was to release it would be in 2031 so yeaah.

Given movie #14 released a year after Jurassic World (2015), I'd say we sadly missed our most likely chance for $15, since it didn't release in 2019 (which would have been within a year of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, released in 2018).

If it doesn't release in 2023 (within a year of Jurassic World Dominion), I'd say we're gonna have to hope for the best and wait until whenever the first movie in the next Jurassic Park trilogy releases +1 year and hope Universal wants to attempt another cash-in on Jurassic Park with TLBT.

I wouldn't give up on that. Last month, they announced an animated Batman Beyond project was in the works. There's some ambiguities about whether it's still an official thing due to behind-the-scenes stuff with WB, but nobody's been told it was cancelled outright, so...
