I usually wait until night time to watch the Land Before Time. Or if I'm home alone without any friends over. I choose night because everyone is fast asleep and there is little disturbance.
-
I'm very similar; I tend to watch them just before I go to sleep, as sort of a "de-stresser" to the day. I just find them a nice way to relax, and it's a quiet time to just lie in bed with the little TV, the headphones, and life is good :P: .
-
The only time I really get to watch them is on Tuesday and Wednesday, sometimes Sunday.
I usually watch them alone, up in my room. I usually watch one or two a week. Though there are times my cousin from a few houses over comes to visit. Though five years old, she's quite the fan. :)
-
The only time I ever got to watch one was when my sister watched one, I had a reason to be watchin one :P:
That's about to change once I get these dvds however :D I'll be watching at least 1 a day in my room since I can just bar up my door and wear headphones :lol:
-
If I have the time and am in the mood for it. I have quite a few movies to choose from..so it has competition. :P:
-
I typically watch one when I get home from work.
-
I used to be exactly the same. Once I heard the final door shut and I was the only one up, then I'd settle down, on my own, and just watch an LBT movie. That was before. Nowadays, if I'm in the mood or just need to escape the madness that is my life, it's either video games or cartoons (9 times outta 10 it's LBT) :^.^:
-
I mostly watch TLBT in the morning in my room right before I go too work or at night. Basically for me anytime is a good time too watch The Land Before Time.
-
i watch the land before time when ever i wish if my moms X-boyfriend has a problem with the valume being to high and kicks down the door to gripe and moan i'd just say ah boo hoo and turn that valume up you see thats what i have to live with
-
I watch it in the morning. I never watch it with somebody, becaouse there is almost nobody that likes it.

Same thing with me my family doesn't like it and neither do my friends they don't even know I watch it.
-
At night, its the only time I can watch stuff alone, usually.
-
I see that many of us tend to watch the movies at night, or when we can be alone. Is it because we're shy, or concerned about what others may think about us watching it? If so, why?
I know myself, I often watch one before going to sleep, as sort of a way to relax. During the day, I'm busy either working on something, at school, talking on msn, out with friends, or a number of things. Movies tend to get pushed onto the back burner, so I often tend to only watch movies late at night before I go to sleep.
Speaking of sleep, I should do that soon :lol It's getting late around here.
-
As a matter of fact I'm watching the land before time movies only quite rarely. I know them all by heart meanwhile and I enjoy a movie much more if I can watch it with somebody else. But it sure is an almost impossible task to find someone to watch LBT with me. So I'm really watching the movies much less frequently than one would maybe expect.
-
Considering that I probably have more recent exposure to some of the LBT films, you sure do hold your own in the Quote Game and Trivia Game, Malte B) I'm impressed. You seem like the kind of person who could get to know a story relatively quickly. It takes me longer than many people I know to fully catch on to a TV show, book, or movie. I had an old friend in high school want to try to help me, but I just didn't have the genuine dedication to it, to *try* to get better at it. I couldn't pretend I was interested.

:wow Now that you have the DVDs, do you find yourself doing this?

For me it's mostly being concerned about what others will think. Sometimes my friend but mainly my dad. Ya, see I've heard the "I'm upset that you like that kind of stuff" too many times. And I guess in a way I think he's embarrassed of me about it so that's mostly why I watch it alone.

I'm very sorry to hear that Dash. While I'm quite sure my parents don't consider my own love of LBT "normal" they never ever made so much as an unfavorable remark about it and actually said they like some of the pictures I made. The left me a good deal of individual freedom.
It must be much harder if the own parents do not take such a stand on this. Keeping up your enthusiasm despite the odds deserves respect.

Little correction error you got the wrong name by mistake. Yeah, it's kinda hard but I learned too not really let it affect me. I know that he's not gonna change his mind about it and he knows I'm not gonna stop watching it just because he has a little resentment toward it.
-
I'm very sorry. I corrected the embarassing mistake.
-
It happens! Don't worry about it man.
-
I don't watch da movies very often, 'cause once I saw them, I'm sure Littlefoot and his gang are safe and sound from the Sharpteeth and other dangers from the Mysteryous Beyond. But every time I watch a LBT movie, (any) I do it when I'm alone, like everyone else who does the same thing. BTW, I have the DVDs of the 1st, 5th, 8th, 9th and 10th movies :D and I've watched the other ones on TV. So, as you can see, I've just watched all movies to the 10th movie, and there are more movies on the way, so I can't wait to watch 'em.

There seems to be a certain age at which you are "supposed" to stop watching these things. My parents do not think it's normal that I still watch LBT. Not even one of my friends know that I like it either. It seems that society has made a certain age limit to a movie and if you do not fall into that age limit but you still watch it, you are considered to be wierd or immature. I find that it is normal to like LBT at any age. I usually watch it whenever I get the chance. I have all of the lbt movies on my ipod and I sometimes watch them on the bus when no one is paying attention. I would be horribly embarrassed if a kid at school got a hold of my ipod and found LBT videos on it. I don't know why I would be embarresed. I only watch LBT on the computer at home because I can encrypt the videos so no one knows I have them. I bought all of the dvd's and ripped them onto the computer. Then I threw the origional dvd's away. Why are we so ashamed to like these video's? Why are we so concerned with others opinion? Why do people like to degrade others who still like LBT when they are past the age of 11? My actions and reactions are illogical when my life involves LBT and others. Where is the logic in embarressment and why do these movies make us embarressed? It seems to me from all of the previous responses that we typically watch LBT when we are alone. Is it truly because we can't find anyone to watch it with or is it because we are so afraid of becoming embarressed and what other people think?

Some people are and some are not often depending on the circumstances, e.g. the people around them. Some of us are rather secretive about their enthusiasm for LBT when dealing with people around them. Others could give up that secrecy without having to fear any real problems with other people. I never concealed my LBT enthusiasm from my family (I couldn't, even if I meant to) and ceased doing so at school. I don't try to enforce my enthusiasm on other or run around with a sign proclaiming my enthusiasm for LBT, but anyone who wants to know will know about it.
People don't consider it "normal" and it probably isn't, but is that a bad thing? If you ask anyone to define the term "normal" to you, they will realize it is not quite that easy. Who is to define the term "normal"? The majority of society? In a society as heterogenous as ours and with so many different points of view and backgrounds this would leave just a very, very few things everyone would agree to be normal. Many people have some interests, hobbies etc. that many would label as "not normal", and so long it doesn't hurt anyone I think this is a good thing. It would be a horribly uniform and boring society if nobody did or thought anything labeled as "not normal".
Sometimes it may be better to let people know about the own enthusiasm for LBT than to conceal it, but that depends on the people around you of course. There are some who have so little to do with their own lives that they will try to make life hell for everyone who doesn't fit into their sheme of normalty. Many however will be bored of that if people just stand for their opinions and interests and don't let themselves be intimidated. We are bound to get strange looks when revealing our LBT enthusiasm to others (provided that we are no longer of the age where LBT enthusiasm is thought to be normal; an age hardly anyone around here still is) but many people are more ready to grow accustomed to it than we expect them to be.

i watch them in the night, when the house is empty or if a friend wants to watch one

That's everyone I know except my mom. She is just now discovering the actual extent of my fondness for LBT. She hired in a computer expert to get into my computer (which he had a he*l of a time doing by the way because of all of the password encryptions and other protective features I had) and see if I was looking at porn or doing other bad stuff and she found all of my lbt movies and my lbt desktop background. I wasn't looking at porn or anything by the way.
Anyway, she doesn't consider this to be normal but I think she accepts me for who I am. I can't say that for any of my friends or people at school or any other members of my family though.

Night time for me. Because night-time is probably the only time I can get peace.

While there are, as I said earlier, "some who have so little to do with their own lives that they will try to make life hell for everyone who doesn't fit into their sheme of normalty" I think they are outnumbered by the land before time fans who presuppose everyone in their world to be such a person as described above and therefore never ever let anyone get even the tiniest incling of their favor for LBT. While many would certainly be confused I don't think the humanity around us is in general as bad as described above. You might be surprised how easygoing many people are (possibly after a short initial laughter and taunt). I couldn't conceal my favor for LBT to the people around me even if I wanted to and as for those from whom I could keep it I don't feel any desire to.
Neither at school here in Germany, or at the university, nor at the high school in America did I fare bad with that openness. I was pruducing LBT art in the art classes and everyone could see it. I wasn't ridiculed for it at all.
There are jerks who will laugh and make fun of you and do all the things described above. But I don't believe them to be the majority. If the majority doesn't really care the taunts of the jerks may echo rather hallow.
I don't think there is any point in hiding same as there isn't in trying to enforce your favor for LBT on others.
