Title: First 3 LBT Movies Now on Netflix
Post by: pokeplayer984 on July 16, 2017, 01:58:05 PM
I was searching the net and came across something that I wanted to confirm.

One search on Netflix later, this appeared.

Forgive the quality as I used Paint on a laptop that doesn't have Photoshop, but yes, the first 3 movies of The Land Before Time are now on Netflix.  In fact, they've been on there for the past 2 weeks.  No announcement for anything, Universal and Netflix just decided to put them up.

So there ya go!  Hope we get more soon! :)

That image on the right looks an awful lot like a fanart RockingScorpion made...

I remember 2 and 3 were on Netflix back in about 2013-14. It noticed the original was added the other day; it's nice to see it on there.


Btw, is anyone else having the same problem I am? At the top of the page, blocking the forum logo, is a picture of Chomper biting bars that say "Please update your account to enable third party hosting", with a photo bucket link.

Yes. They immediately realized WHO is the TRUE star of the movie and WHO made it GREAT.  :rolleyes

The sharptooth was a major factor in the greatness of the film but I'd never say it is THE factor that made it as good as it is. The original LBT was a masterpiece in all aspects and its villain was only one of them.

Decided to check this again.  Same 4 movies, but some of the banners have changed.

Funny thing: me stumbling upon Journey of the Brave while I was browsing Netflix was what inspired me to revisit LBT, and well, I don't think I really need to say much more.

Does anyone know if the first three movies as well as XIV are still up? Did any more sequels get added?

I wonder why Journey Through The Mists is never on Netflix Stream. I had to order the Netflix DVD last time. Why is one of the most beloved LBT films so elusive?  :DD

Well, since they changed the way the search engine works, the 4 movies are still the only Land Before Time movies on there, but the search result also includes many Dinosaur movies that aren't a part of The Land Before Time.  On top of that, we have Balto, Brother Bear, The Secret Life of Pets and others.

Not sure how to feel about that. :sducky

Almost sure that Netflix uses suggestions based on your viewing experience, so they basically lumped a few dino films and kids films together as a pseudo-Youtube recommendations. Can't say I blame them for using this tactic on kids, even if I feel that switching from the first film to a more kid-friendly film is a bit jarring.

Journey of the Brave is still there, but it doesn't look like they added any other LBT films, and the first three have since been removed. I was still able to view the first film on Netflix back in January of 2019, but sometime later they removed that as well.

Not a big deal to me personally because I own all the films on DVD anyway, but I found it a bit odd all the same.

Decided to check if they were available here in the Netherlands too (Netflix availability differs per region). We've been blessed with these :P

Ah, interesting. I forgot that availability varies depending on region.

Come to think of it, I never actually saw LBT 2 & 3 listed on my Netflix. Just the first film and Journey of the Brave. I did see an online article stating that the first three used to be available, but were leaving Netflix in November 2018, but I guess that may have been for a different region, as here in Canada we had the first film for another few months. I'm not sure if we ever had #2 & 3 at all.

I wonder why the films aren't available here any more. Those cheapskates! :p

Now it looks like you have easy access to watch 12 now Iris!  :PCera

I can't say for certain as my memory might be hazy, but I'm pretty sure Canadian Netflix had 2 and 3 at one point as well.

Netflix... already used my free time with it, and I have no intention of buying it, even if I could get these sweet films.  :PCera And I don't really know if they're available here either. Guess now I'll never know.
