I woke up at 4 AM today, and after I noticed that it was the 18th, I could swear I had a nagging thought in the back of my head that there was something important about the date. I think it hit me at around 7 AM: I thought, “Holy buckets! It’s
The Land Before Time’s 22nd anniversary!” :blink: Or, as Malte would say, it’s LBT’s second schnappszahl birthday!
Specifically, today is the anniversary of the original movie’s release in the United States (The second schnappszahl of LBT’s German release won’t be until June 22, 2011). Unfortunately I don’t have anything to commemorate the occasion. (It would’ve been nice if I’d remembered sooner and made a birthday picture for LBT. Oh well.)
Anyway, a happy 22nd birthday to
The Land Before Time!
Here's hoping Universal will think to release an anniversary edition of the movie one of these days.
P.S. For those who don't know, a schnappszahl (am I spelling it right?) is a German word for a number with two or more digits in which all of the digits are the same. 11 is the first schnappszahl number, 33 is the third, 222 is the eleventh, you get the idea. (I learned the term from Malte on my own 22nd birthday, and now I look for any opportunity to use it.
)
