Hey guys. Before I see the newly released fourteenth LBT movie, I'll be watching the entire franchise again, so I can get back into the series. The only exception is the TV Series. I may watch a few of the episodes, but not much.
As I'm watching LBT I, I feel the nostalgia of what's coming as a fan and now watching all 13 movies again. I'll say some things before and after each movie, and you can give me suggestions, questions, and comments, really whatever suits you.
I will be continuing to post here until I see JoTB. Then I will post my review on JoTB's main page.
Thanks, get hypnotized :)littlefoot

(If I compare sequels with original movie, I would have to throw out them all out. 12 movies with TV series.
But I don't do that, right?)

I finished watching LBT II just now. 11 movies to go!

Hello again. I haven't watched LBT III yet as I've been busy, but I'll be watching it after I make this post. I forgot to make a small summary of each movie (from a big fan's perspective) so they'll be a lot of positivity about them. Now let's talk about the first movie.
The first movie is the classic everybody loves, Littlefoot's mother is killed by Sharptooth, he falls into the Big Underground, and he is separated from his grandparents. It's the original movie that even non-fans enjoy. It puts 5 different dinosaur species, Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike, together to find the Great Valley, a land still lush in green compared to the outside world, or The Mysterious Beyond.
I'll do an overview of II tomorrow, and III as well. I'm watching III now. Cheers :DD
-
Good luck with the marathon! :D

Thanks!
Hey again. Here is my summary for movie II, and movie III right after.
Here we go, The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure.
In this movie we witness the birth of Chomper, a character everyone loves. Like, come on, who doesn't like Chomper? Anyways, Ozzy and Strut were pretty memorable, and I love Grandpa and Grandma Longneck's voice. Kenneth Mars and Linda Gary did a good job for this movie, and all the rest up to 13 for Mars, and 4 for Gary, who was replaced by Miriam Flynn from 5-14. The songs were introduced, some hated it, but I didn't care really. I liked "Peaceful Valley" and "Eggs", but "One of us now" (that's what it's called right?) was a bit less memorable imo.
Yeah, the egg stealers want revenge, and Chomper's parents come right into the valley looking for him, and how did they get in...? Oh, well I guess the kids accidentally destroy the Great Wall and the parents just walked right in, playing one of my favorite short themes. The kids get chased, the adults come to help, and the kids told them what happened. They kinda just didn't care that the gang destroyed the wall, and they head off to close it. Chomper is reunited with his parents and Littlefoot gets caught by Ozzy and Strut. And in the end Chomper's parents drive them into the Mysterious Beyond and Chomper has to leave. Now I may have shed a tear here.
The adults close the wall and the movie ends. I liked it, not as much as the first movie, but I still liked it.
Next, The Land Before Time III: The Time of the Great Giving.
Now, I agree, the pacing is slow. Littlefoot and his friends are playing, and we get introduced to three adolescent bullies; Hyp, Nod, and Mudd. They boss them around, and then and earthshake happens. It causes flying rocks to land in the Mysterious Beyond. Littlefoot almost dies when a tree lands on him, but somehow he lives. The next day, the Thundering Falls stop. Everybody starts to wonder, stupidly. A flying rock landed in the Mysterious Beyond, go solve your water problem, but no, they're all scaredy eggs.
Throughout this drought, the bullies strike again multiple times, Cera's dad is an a**hole, and nothing much else happens for the next 30 minutes. Then finally, Littlefoot and his friends find some water hidden around them, and then the bullies show up. They chase them, because they don't want Littlefoot and co. to tell them about the water. They lose them, thanks to a bee. The kids find a cliff overlooking the Mysterious Beyond. Littlefoot finds out what what happened to the water; one of the flying rocks landed near a lake, blocking off the water. On the way back, a thunderstorm brews and a fire starts...
...Littlefoot leads the others to safety, but Cera's dad forces Cera to follow him the wrong way; where the fire will spread faster. Grandpa Longneck saves them, and then the Great Valley residents look at the valley. Around half the valley is burnt to a crisp. They all argue about a plan to get the water back, as Littlefoot told them about the situation. The bullies go to do it themselves, and Littlefoot sing "Kids Like Us" while he gets his friends to follow.
They soon save Hyp from drowning, as he jumped into a tar pit he thought was water. After that, Hyp's father, Grandpa, Topps, Mr. Clubtail, and ?Mudd's father? show up. Hyp's dad yells and scolds him, but them Topps tells him that he should not yell, because that's all he will express to others. Ah, moments. No time for the credits yet - it's not over.
4 fast biters show up! The theme that plays during the fight is HIGHLY nostalgic for me. The adults try to stop them from getting to the kids, with Hyp's dad leading them to safety. 1 fast biter is killed early on, but eventually they get past. They prepare to jump down a hill to attack the children, bullies, and Hyp's dad, but are stopped by the rest of the adults, who continue to fight. The hill, however, collapses, and the adults and the 3 fast biters collapse down the hill.
The fast biters recover first, and they prepare to eat the unconscious adults. Hyp's dad comes to help, and then Hyp, of course, drive the fast biters to him. Before Littlefoot and co, and the bullies, push a boulder and rocks down on the fast biters, the adults are back up. The rocks bury the fast biters, buut they get out. Eventually, the water comes free, and the protagonists and the antagonists are separated on two sides of the water.
In the end, the herds wait for the valley to regrow, and it became known as "The Time of the Great Giving". I liked it, but it was the most boring (for the most part). The fast biter pack boosted my liking of it, but it may be my 2nd least favorite movie (only thing worse is The Wisdom of Friends).
I'm going to watch IV now, and I'll review it tomorrow. Cheers :)

Good review but Miriam Flynn didn't voice Grandma until 5. The late Linda Gary voiced her in 2, 3 and 4
-
Can't wait! Thanks for the great reviews! :yes
-
Yes, I noticed, but I didn't know Linda Gary voiced her from 2-4 until I got carried away and watched not just IV, but V last night as well. Now I have to review both.
-
Hello again. I'm gonna review LBT IV now.
Here we go, The Land Before Time IV: Journey Through The Mists. Littlefoot sees a new herd of longnecks come to the Great Valley, and he wonders. He meets a new friend, no, not just just a friend, but a Longneck friend, named Ali. Another fan favorite, that for many, happen to ship her with Littlefoot. Fine by me. They seem like the perfect couple, imo.
Well, anyways, The Old One (far walker longneck herd leader) asks Grandma Longneck if the lands have changed. Grandma says no. The Old One says good. She tells them of their original home, "The Land of Mists", a place that was much like the Great Valley, changed and became a place unsuitable for Longnecks. Later, Littlefoot introduces Ali to his friends, but she does not like being around them. Littlefoot says he will come with his friends, but he then decides to go with Ali. Oh no. Littlefoot goes home to find his Grandfather weak, like he's dying. The Old One tells Grandma that only the golden petals of the Night Flower will cure Grandpa Longneck. She tells her that it can only be found in The Land of Mists. Grandma asks someone to go with her. Nobody agrees. Then Littlefoot asks if Grandpa will get better. Then, as dusk approaches, Grandma sings a quite sad song, "Grandma's Lullaby." Overnight, Littlefoot wakes up Ali an asks her to go with him, as she would know the way to the Night Flower.
The next morning, Grandma can't find Littlefoot - she knows he has gone to find the Night Flower, and brought Ali too. She tells Littlefoot's friends not to go. They lie, and say they won't. They do, of course. Littlefoot and Ali find a cave, and an earthshake happens due to them talking to themselves/echoing. Ali is on one side of a wall of rocks, and Littlefoot on the other. Ali decides to go get Littlefoot's friends to help her clear away the rocks. She gets back to the Great Valley and tells them the situation. All but Cera follows, as she does not trust her. Meanwhile, Littlefoot meets an Archelon named Archie, and they are watched by Dil, a Belly-Dragger, who is half blind. She goes to Ichy, a sharpbeak. They sing "Who Needs You?" Ichy says he is the brains and can see, true. Dil says she can't see, and needs Ichy to guide her to dinner. Also true. They attack Littlefoot and Archie and everntually Ali and the others, including Cera, who arrived later, clear the rocks and Ichy and Dil are hit by one and are down. They all get out of the cave by Archie giving them a shortcut. They part ways with him.
In the Land of Mists, the gang lose Cera in the mists, and while searching, they find a mouse-thing named Tickles. When they find Cera, she falls into a river, and they use a vine to pull her up, Ichy and Dil show up again and cut the vine. Ali evuntually save Cera and Ichy gets stuck in a branch. After that, Cera ends up earning Ali's trust, and Alis sings "It Takes All Sorts."
Night falls, and the gang falls asleep. Ducky wakes everyone up because there are glowing Night Flowers everywhere. They take a few, and come across Ichy and Dil again. During the chase, Ducky drops a flower while the gang is crossing a log, she picks it up, but is picked up by Ichy. Petrie grabs one end of Ducky, and Ichy the other. After a pulling contest, she falls unconscious into the water below. Dil lifts her up and almost into her mouth, but them the unthinkable happens. Spike speaks. He says Ducky's name and she wakes up. She grabs onto a branch and it smacks Dil on the head multiple times. Before then, Spike hits Ichy and falls into Dil's open mouth, almost swallowing him. They argue, and then Dil smacks Ichy into the distance. Sh turns around, and a Plesiosaur is there. She swims away, yelling for Ichy.
The gang returns to the valley and Grandpa eats all he can. Afterwards, he starts getting less weak, and starts to walk again. When Ali's herd has to move on, the movie shows moments of Ali and Littlefoot's moments together. It also plays a quote that Ali says earlier in the movie: "Maybe we'll all live together someday." That last scene was memorable.
Credits roll! Oh, and the credits play the "If We Hold On Together" intrumental version in the credits. How lovely. This was better than III, but for me, it was not as good as I or II. Review for movie V is tomorrow. Cya! ;)
-
Nice! I'd love to hear more indepth views on your opinion in the future! I'm honesty interested in what you have to say :yes
-
Thank you! The reviews are getting longer and more detailed. I may edit the earlier couple so they are more like the one I just made!

Hi again. Here's my review of The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island.
Littlefoot and his friends are all trying to get the last treestar on a tree. It ends up being eaten by Mr. Clubtail when they all chase it. Afterwards, Littlefoot complains about his friends ruining it. Grandpa Longneck shakes a whole tree of treestars for the kids to enjoy. Grandpa sees possible clouds in the distance, but it turns out to be a whole swarm of swarming leaf-gobblers, eating the valley to nothing. That night, the herds agree on leaving the Great Valley. The kids secretly hear the conversation, and are sad that they will have to all join their own kind. Grandpa says to the adults that they will leave TOGETHER. Then the kids are happier and NOW want to leave. Can't blame em'.
The next day the herds set out for a new paradise until The Great Valley grows green again. On their way, the gobblers seemed to eat the plants in the direction they went. Soon, they come across a Duck-bill corpse. Mr. Threehorn gets all idiotic again and argues with Grandpa which direction to go and also says: "Everyone knows how stupid Duck-bills are." He settles the argument by saying: "That settles it. We're splitting up." IDIOT. IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT! That last night together the friends agree to run away and find food so the herds don't split up.
Next morning, the herds can't find them. The kids are making sure to leave big foot-marks for them to follow though. They smell water, and run up a hill. They find the ocean/big water as the characters call it. They go for a drink, but it tastes gross. Well, what do you expect? They find no food, and sit down and give up. But Spike, of course, is staring right at an ISLAND that he just stares at. Ducky and the others see, and they decide to cross a path to the island. Now, I have a few names for this island. One is "Sharptooth Island." Another one I have is "Island of Caution."
On the way across the land-path, an earthshake happens, and a tsunami comes towards them. They climb up the cliff to the island, safely. They run for the food, but think it smells weird. Spike likes it though. They all take bites, and they like it too. Afterwards, they look off the island. The land path was destroyed in the earthshake. They suggest Petrie to fly or Ducky to swim to get help, but they are too scared to cross the "big water." They then sing "Big Water", one of my FAVORITE songs in the entire franchise. After the song, they decide to use a log to cross back to the mainland.
During the swim, a swimming shark sharptooth attacks! They swim to safety after nearly dying, and they end it crashing back on the Mysterious Island. Then they sing another song that I also really love that night, "Always There." The next morning...Cera wakes up to see a sharptooth shadow...hmmm...reference here. It chases them, until they get trapped by a rock wall. It turns it to be...you guessed it, CHOMPER! They greet him, and he says to follow him and see his parents. Gulp, yes, his parents. They talk about it not being a good idea, and then they arrive, and the kids hide in a bush. They tell Chomper to come get breakfast. Chomper says he'll be there in a minute. Oh, and did I say Papa Sharptooth almost sniffed out Littlefoot and his friends? No? Carry on. Nope. Not yet. A sharptooth appears after the six leave the scene, after Chomper says: "It's a good thing my folks are the only sharpteeth around here." Hmmm, really Chomper. The plated sharptooth viciously eats the bush they were hiding in, while also playing a highly nostalgic danger theme.
So, afterwards, Chomper tells them of a "stinky place" where his parents won't smell them. Ducky gets separated for a short time during the process. She almost gets eaten by a sharptooth flyer and her babies, before falling on top of the gang. Before then, Cera asks Chomper if he had a mid-morning snack. She apologizes, of course. When they arrive at a grove of tall, stinky flowers, or "The Stinky Place", Littlefoot and his friends ask for food. Chomper goes and gets a bunch of tree stars and fruits, and the gang sing "Friends For Dinner" while they wait, after Chomper says: "I love having friends for dinner!"
After that, Cera talks about Chomper again while they eat, saying "Littlefoot! Watch Out!" after Littlefoot puts his foot out and it looks like Chomper was about to bite it. He walks away, crying. Littlefoot goes to comfort him, but Cera says: "He doesn't have feelings! He's a sharptooth!" When Littlefoot apologizes about what happened, Mama Sharptooth roars at Littlefoot, and tells Chomper not to play with his food. Chomper tells that to him after she leaves, and Chomper walks home. Littlefoot runs back to the flowers quickly, to check if anyone ate his last treestar. Spike did earlier. They all look at him, scared. He says: "You better be scared, because if it's gone, I'm gonna-" and then ROAR!
The Plated Sharptooth shows up behind him. Now, personally, I LOVE this sharptooth. You'll see why soon enough. They run, and it eats the stinky flowers. A chase occurs. They cross a log, then it falls. They taunt the sharptooth, telling him he can't get to them now. And then WOAH! He jumps across the gap and over the gang, and then they take the taunts back and run under his legs. The chase continues. The gang squeezes under a large rock, which the sharptooth lifts over. Soon, at the end of the chase, the gang reach the cliff of the island. Chomper comes and bites the sharptooth's leg, and when Chomper falls, Cera rams the sharptooth's foot, and then it bites it's tail while trying to bite Chomper. Tears pour from it's eyes. He turns and roars loudly at Cera. Now he's pissed.
Chomper's parents arrive to help, first Papa attacks. Now this fight is AWESOME. The plated sharptooth rams his head twice, while Papa bites his chest. Then, with razor sharp claws, the plated sharptooth slashes Papa's head, making it BLEED. BLOOD. How unexpected! He then knocks Papa down. Then Mama enters. They circle eachother, until the plated sharptooth slashes her leg with his foot claws. MORE BLOOD. Then he tail whacks her to the ground. Papa gets up and tail whips the plated sharptooth off the cliff into the big water, taking Chomper with him. Littlefoot dives in to save Chomper, put the sharptooth won't give up that easily. He attempts to bite them, before washing out into the sea. The other two stay in the still water, and then a swimmer named Elsie shows up to help.
Chomper's parents gain the gang's trust for Littlefoot helping to save Chomper. They ride back to their families, saying they hope to see him again, which they will. Elsie heads to the herds, as she seen them earlier in a NEW paradise, so she brought them there. The movie ends with the herds coming back to the Great Valley when it regrew.
This is my favorite so far, this is actually my 2nd favorite movie of all (excluding JoTB, remember, never seen it yet!), and you'll see my 1st soon enough. I'm watching VI now, expect a review on it tomorrow. Cheers :D

Hello again. I almost left this, as I begun to lose interest in LBT. I was trying to prove myths in GTA V for the past while, as well as school...but I can't stop now...I already watched 6 of the 14 movies!
Well, here we go, my review of The Land Before Time VI: The Secret Of Saurus Rock.
The movie starts with Grandpa Longneck telling the gang (and two new threehorns named Dinah and Dana) about life in the Great Valley a long time ago. One day, the "Meanest Sharptooth" arrived and almost kills a mother longneck and her son when "The Lone Dinosaur" appears. A battle begins, and it ends with the Lone dinosaur being scarred along his neck and him knocking the Meanest Sharptooth off a cliff. He just leaves after saving the young longneck's life afterwards, not even letting the kid thank him. Like, who would do that? Anyway, afterwards, an earthshake happens and Saurus Rock is formed. Grandpa says you can still see it today, through the mists. He also says if anything bad happens to it bad luck will descend upon the valley. Alright, let's do the important parts instead of pointing out every little thing in the movie.
The next day Littlefoot and Co make a Lone Dinosaur game, Cera is the sharptooth, Littlefoot is the Lone Dinosaur, and the rest are running away from Cera. Littlefoot falls off a log and almost dies until an old longneck named Doc saves him. He is greeted into the valley but Topps has second thoughts. He can't anything anyway though. After that, Littlefoot goes to talk to him, and his scar is shown and he whiplashes a leaf off a tree. Then Littlefoot goes to his friends who are playing in the bubbly goo. He sings "The Legend Of The Lone Dinosaur" and tells his friends that Doc is The Lone Dinosaur. They don't believe, because the Lone Dinosaur was alive possibly 100 years before them. Cera also gets mad at Dinah and Dana and tells them to get lost while Littlefoot discusses Saurus Rock.
Dinah and Dana do get lost and go to Saurus Rock, being followed by a sharptooth when nearing it. The kids follow and find the sharptooth. After a chase, the gang finds the two threehorns on Saurus Rock, and they get them down eventually, (not until breaking a tooth off Saurus Rock). Afterwards, the Allosaurus finds them again, and throws a log they were hiding in towards a cliff that fits the log perfectly. They all climb out, but Spike is stuck in the log. The sharptooth comes back, and after Spike gets free, it eats the log in two, making it fall to it's death (or so we thought, dun dun dun...) When they get back, Mr. Threehorn hears them talking about them being safe. Cera loses her job as a babysitter for Dinah and Dana, and that night Littlefoot is scared that bad luck will now descend upon the valley, after they damaged Saurus Rock by making a tooth fall off it.
Next morning, sure enough, everyone is having bad luck. Petrie falls in a tree, Ducky and Spike got stung by bees, and, well, they sing "Bad Luck". Yes, it had to be a song. Later, a watering hole dries up in the valley and a tornado hits too as well. Cera brings the twins to safety, and Topps is proud. Grandpa Longneck searches for Littlefoot while Doc saves Littlefoot from the dust devil. Afterwards, everyone blames Doc for the bad luck, much to Littlefoot's protest. They begin to clean up the valley, while Littlefoot runs away and says he will fix the bad luck and get a tooth from the supposedly dead Allosaurus, but before that, he talks to Doc. He asks him what if there's bad luck, and you don't know what to do. He says,"try to fix what you can, accept what you can't." Littlefoot takes the advice and asks if he ever felt alone. He says, "Sometimes." He then says a sentence about his feet being planted on the watering hole long ago. I don't know, I just had a feeling during that sentence.
Littlefoot sings "On Your Own" during his short journey to the Allosaurus corpse. I liked the song. Littlefoot's friends tell Grandpa Longneck that he ran away to do this, after Doc tells him he's leaving. Littlefoot tries to push a tooth out of the Allosaurus' mouth, until he feels a breeze. It's alive! He runs from the Allosaurus until he runs through some thick rocks that the sharptooth has to break through. He then runs into a sharptooth similar to the Meanest Sharptooth and runs from it until he trips on a pebble. Grandpa and Littlefoot's friends arrive, and Grandpa handles the sharptooth, until the Allosaurus arrives. The Meanest Sharptooth kicks Grandpa to the ground, and it's now 2v1. Doc arrives and tail grabs the Allosaurus to the ground, and Grandpa neck whacks the Meanest Sharptooth down. They both hit into rock formation, and the two longnecks pull it down on the sharpteeth, killing them both, also knocking a tooth off the Allosaurus.
Doc leaves, much to Littlefoot's dismay, but already has a hero; his grandfather. They put the tooth back up, and the bad luck stops. That night, Littlefoot tells stories to more kids about "The Great Dinosaur" AKA Grandpa Longneck. The movie ends, with the intsrumental version of "If We Hold On Together" plays in the credits.
I didn't like the movie as much as V, but I liked it more than the previous four.
I'm going to watch VII today, the halfway point and the gap between the old and new animation. :yes
-
I'm going to review LBT 7 soon, but I don't have time today. After that, I'll be watching LBT 8.
-
meanwhile here, only thing I have to rewatch is TV series now.
let's go
-
Lol, well, anyways, here is my review for LBT 7.
Here we go, The Land Before Time VII: The Stone Of Cold Fire.
Littlefoot and his friends see far walkers enter the Great Valley, while Petrie is saying that the flyers were the first creatures to exist. That night, Littlefoot sees a Stone of Cold Fire fly across the valley and land in Threehorn Peak. Nobody else saw it. The next morning, Littlefoot tells the Great Valley residents and far walkers, but almost nobody believes him, EXCEPT two rainbow faces, also SPOILER they are alien dinosaurs. They sing "Beyond The Mysterious Beyond", which may be one of my favorite songs in the series. They also talk in riddles. Later, Littlefoot's friends kind of don't agree on Littlefoot seeing a "Stone of Cold Fire", until Petrie's uncle Pterano shows up. Petrie introduces him to the others, but is only interested in Littlefoot. Pterano believes him, and try to convince Littlefoot to lead him to the stone. Littlefoot disagrees and the kids make excuses that they have to leave, after two other flyers, Rinkus and Sierra, show up and frighten them a little.
Later, Littlefoot tells his grandparents about Pterano, and Grandpa gets angry. Pterano was banished from the herd a long time ago, but his grandparents refuse to tell why. Later, Petrie tries to get Littlefoot to tell him where the stone landed, because Pterano told him to do so and Petrie did not know of Pterano's, evilness? Lol. The kids quickly find out that Petrie is lying that he "just wanted to know" thanks to Cera. Petries flies away and cries, and Pterano comforts him. That night, Pterano, Rinkus and Sierra plan to head for Threehorn Peak after Petries got the information. Ducky gets up at night and eavesdrops on the conversation, but is kidnapped by Sierra before she can tell the rest of the gang.
Littlefoot and his friends see the kidnapping, and the flyers leave, much to Petrie's disbelief.
The next morning, the adults are sitting around arguing about what to do to get Ducky back, and while that is happening, the kids interrupt and ask what happened to make Pterano banished from the herd. It began during the events of the first movie, and Pterano wanted to be a leader of the herd. Some followed him. But one day, a group of fast biters kill the part of the herd, and Pterano is saddened. It wasn't his fault, as he said. I don't understand this, like, he didn't know that they were going to b attacked by sharpteeth, so how did he get in so much trouble? It wasn't his fault!
Afterwards, the kids sneak off to save Ducky. During so, Ducky falls into a cave after she tries to escape by biting Sierra's hand, and then gets chased, before the first thing happens. Littlefoot and Co cross a vine but Spike eats it and they fall into the same cave where they find Ducky. They all sing "Good Inside" which is a song I don't hate but it's not my favorite. Afterwards, Ducky is captured again at a cliff edge outside the cave, but is saved again after the kids save Ducky from drowning in a river and sliding down it on logs. A storm brews, and the flyers stop in a safe place to dry off. Pterano sings "Very Important Creature" while Rinkus and Sierra form a plan to get Pterano to follow them until they get to the stone, and then take the powers.
Meanwhile, the gang enter the bottom of Threehorn Peak, but can't find a way to get to the top. They decide to take a nap, and when they wake up, green food appears near them? How? The alien rainbow faces, that's how! They reveal themselves eventually, and they give the gang a way to shoot them up the mountain. It's almost like a dinosaur elevator. They part ways, and the gang head up the mountain. Pterano and the flyers make it to the stone, but Pterano finds no power in the stone. Then Rinkus and Sierra push him outta the way and try to activate the stone's powers by hitting it with rocks. An earthshake occurs, and Petrie's mother and a MASSIVE flyer come to help, but Ducky almost falls to her death until PTERANO SAVES HER. He actually has good inside after all!
Once everyone gets back to the Great Valley, Pterano's punishment outside the valley is reduced to 5 cold times (years), for saving Ducky. I don't know what it was before, life or something? Well, Petrie says goodbye, and Topps chases him away. That night, the rainbow faces appear by Littlefoot while he's alone, and they tell him that the stone wasn't really real, but that there are other things out there like this. They teleport away, and Littlefoot sees it. It's one of my favorite moments in the sequels, with the instrumental version of "Beyond The Mysterious Beyond" playing. Littlefoot's friends arrive right after it all happens, and they ask why he's smiling, and he says: "Well, that would be telling.", a quote the rainbow faces had said.
I liked that movie, but V still reigns supreme so far. Next is LBT 8, Ducky123's favorite sequel. Will I think it will be as good? Will it overcome V? We'll have to find out next time! :D
-
I got bored of this. I don't feel the need to review the movies anymore, but I will still tell you guys when I'm watching each movie and tell at LEAST a little about it. Cya later.
Well, I'm gonna watch IX tonight, so stay tuned.
Oh, oh yeah! I gotta say somethin' bout' the 8th film. Well, Mr. Thicknose was a nice character, I liked the plot, the sharptooth (who could be Redclaw) and the snow. "Family was a nice song, the rest, well, meh. They were ok, but ya know, not great.
EDIT: Also, LBT 8 did not beat V but it was better than 7. Also too, after the 13 movies, I will make a sequels personal ranking (but this one won't be on the sequels personal ranking thread because the original will be included and JoTB will only be on that one. ((Like, the sequels personal ranking thread)) ).
-
LBT IX was nice. Mo was a funny character, Chanson D'Ennui was an iffy song, as well as Imaginary Friends as well. "Know One Has To Be Alone" was the best, and the Sharptooth Swimmer kept me entertained. The movie did not beat V, but X may very well do it. Will it? I'll say tomorrow! ;)
-
Hello again. Sorry for the delay.
Yes, we have a new leader! I loved LBT X. I loved Bron, even though his explanation for leaving was a bit iffy. Every song was nice. I loved the sharpteeth in this movie. "Bestest Friends" is among the best of the songs so far, and I loved the plot, even though the world wasn't ending, it was just an eclipse.
Will LBT XI, XII, or XIII defeat X for my #1 spot? Likely not. But then again, JoTB has a chance at the end as well. Watching XI now, wish it luck! :D
-
No, they did not...LBT XI, XII, and XIII were not as good. But remember, this is in my opinion.
LBT XI had an interesting story IMO at first, but it was not as emotional as past movies. The songs were ok, "Creepy Crawlies" was the best one in my opinion. I liked the sharpteeth, on of them looked like Screech...
LBT XII had a character I well liked-Guido. I liked him, I thought he was kind of funny. The sharptooth sucked, obviously, because it got stuck somehow but it didn't seem stuck to me at all. It was my least favorite- only because of LBT XIII's sharpteeth and the Yellowbellies' stupidity was actually hilarious. The songs-I guess were ok, but "Things Change" was good. I liked it, and I seemed to get a little emotional (ok, I get emotional in movies, I know) but it's what really stole it for me.
Now, LBT XIII - what else do I have to say - yellowbellies, hilarious and stupid, the plot SUCKED though, Littlefoot couldn't really get his message out there about the wisdoms. The sharpteeth were likable, but they really died a very unavoidable death to be honest. The songs - well, I didn't really find any of them were great.
I also decided to watch the TV Series, but I won't be talking about every episode though. I only saw about half of the episodes, hopefully I'll be able to see them all for the first time! I'll see you later, after I see all the episodes! :p
-
congrats with finishing your main road. :D
I would like to see your small analysis about TV episodes.
For me, TV episodes (I'm rewatching them all right now), due to its light bothering music, light general atmosphere and silliness and stupidity sometimes (especially in sharpteeth episodes), are very unstable part of LBT franchise.
Actually, they COULD make general plot more interesting and exciting, and general idea and synopsis in some episodes are wonderful. If only they make it in LBT1 style... these stories would be one of the best.
-
We have discussion threads for every single episode so feel free to use them. I posted in every single of them to share my opinion on each episode :yes
-
I'll do so at some point in the future ;)
Hi, just a small update. I have watched 6 episodes so far, I just finished The Brave Longneck Scheme. I'm watched 2 tonight, so see you later! :)
-
The show to this day is hard to sit through. I tried to sit through the first episode and I couldn't do it. That was the worst show I ever had the displeasure to ever watch. My condolences to you.

Just an update. :)
I've been busy with a lot of things including school lately so I haven't been able to watch many episodes. I'm gonna tell you this though: I've actually only watched the first 15 episodes before and a couple others. I have tried to watch the whole show in 2013 and 2015 before, but I lost interest in the TV Series (I don't know why, it's probably because hey aren't as good as the movies, hence the 1 season). But this time, I'm not giving up, I'm on the 9th episode, and I'm not quitting now.
See ya later ;)
EDIT: I agree now AD and understand...It's hard to sit through, unlike most of the films (MY OPINION) since I really like most of the movies. Some episodes just plain SUCK. Never thought I would say that for LBT material (even for 13, I wasn't annoyed by the yellowbellies, they made me laugh at their stupidity instead). But even for the best fans, I'm assuming there's at least ONE episode they didn't like.
-
...and I lost interest in the TV series again. I think I watched another episode or two after I posted that, but that was it. It really is hard to sit through. I've gotta watch the rest of the episodes some day, but not now.
Oh, another thing as well: I STILL didn't watch JoTB, STILL! I need to watch this, but I never got around to it. I think I might watch it before or during the summer though. This "Road to JoTB" died after I lost interest in the TV Series, but that does not mean it's really over! I will see JoTB soon, and this will be done, finally, and I will do a BIG review for it.
Hypno signing off :)
-
I think it would be incredible to try and watch the entire LBT film saga (14 films total) in 24hrs. However, this may be impossible depending on length of each film. So you might have to do 32 hrs straight.
This I call "Journey of the Brave.." :DD :lol
-
Journey of the PAIN. XD
but if you success, you would repeat experience of Gang's journey in original movie! I guess
-
I ca. Agree with you the tv series was a huge turn off for me Also. But hopefully see this movie soon
-
Journey of the PAIN. XD

Lol indeed, consider it the Trial of True Land Before Time Zealot. :D :lol

My friend and I once tried to watch an LBT marathon of all 13 movies at the time. We ended up watching 6 movies straight, then 3 movies the next day, then another 3 a couple months later and finally watched 13 a year later. Suffice to say it didn't go so well :lol . For the TV series I don't hate it but I'm not the biggest fan either. I recently re-watched all of the episodes by watching one a day and by the end I was so sick of hearing them sing about how happy they are. I do hope you watch JotB though as I think it's a solid sequel.
-
I sorta did a marathon a movie channel showed a good portion of the sequels and I watched them. Do they hold up no but still no decent
-
Actually, I did make LBT marathon before, when I was ill. TWICE.
At first time, I watched 1-7 movies in one day, 8-13 in another. And TV series in next week. :D
no joking
-
I might try to do that today and see how far I get
-
I actually seen the movie last weekend, I'm just trying to find time to write the review.

If you accomplish it, you should receive a new LBT title and perhaps an award. :smile
How is Russian dubbing for LBT franchise?

How is Russian dubbing for LBT franchise?
verious versions of translation are here. Dubbing for all movies and TV series. Voice-overs for first 9 movies. + different half-professional voice-overs.
At first, I watched full dubed versions on TV, but when I watched the whole franchise, I watched (and I prefered it more) voice-over versions.
I like how they translated Littlefoot and Spike to our language in this version. I just LOVE their name! :3
Крожки-ножки, Шип, И Даки-даки-да! from first movie are just wonderful!
There's also dark spots, like Ducky's gender changing. :sducky
Also I remember Ruby sounded like grown up in first TV episode. O_o But later she was replased on more childish voice.
Also, Chomper voice is very diferent in versions, and it confuses me and when I'm making LBT fan movies, I don't know what Chomper's voice I should use. XD
And thanks to lack of LBT14 (Adfan. Keep your again-speech about this movie, please) russian version , I have waited for one damn year to watch this movie, waiting for translation. But I just lost it, and watched it on English, and I surprisingly understood everything.

Ducky has male voice over in Russian?! Woah, that must change her character quite a bit.
How does Chomper sound in Russian, does he sound very childish or more like Sharptooth (Rawr style)?
That is same about LBT IV not being in Russian. Have you considered doing your own dub of it since you know the English so well? You could dub it in Russian and do the voices for each character or hire some help for some. :idea
