Hmm, DVDs in my walmart (one-disc ones) are typically anywhere between $9-16, though some are around $20. But I never seen anything over $23 unless it came with more than one disc.

It might have been in the wrong section, but I doubt it since it was still $20 at costco. :blink:

Actually, the original LBT movie runs at $7.50 at my local Wal-Mart, and I'm sure An American Tail runs at a similar price.

Holy crap! The only reason I haven't gotten another copy of the original LBT dvd is because it's labeled as a "classic" and it is $25 at my walmart and $20 at costco. :blink:

That's just not right. You can probably get it on online (and probably at walmart.com too) for less than $20. Prices around your neck of the US of A are probably different than mine, though.

The DvD of the original land before time movie which I have came for free along with the Australian version of LBT 11. While I don't want to complain about obtaining the DvD that way it is kind of sad to see this movie being offered as a free bonus

That's terrible!

Usually they only give away stupid useless special features and they have lowered the original masterpiece to that! :angry: :angry: :angry:

Hmmm...I would have thought the 11th would have been the throw-away gift...the first one is pure genius.

They wouldn't surely make a new movie a "throw-away" gift, would they? I really don't get the beef with giving away copies of The Land Before Time (and that isn't really what they're doing now, as in this three-pack, it would still account for a third of the price).

You look at how they could at least restore the picture, and then some copies do indeed seem like an afterthought... <_<

It's really a shame on how the old classics are overlook by the cheaply made sequels. The Land Before Time was once a huge hit...and now it's restored to this, being packed away in a cheap DVD set with horrible quality and cover art. But hey, at least theyre releasing it.

I can't see the original being given away at all no matter what video you buy. It's just not right. Maybe the tv ep dvd, but not the original! :cry2

I know. Universal is really terrible with thier original classics. They don't release and/or advertise at all.

I'm not really sure where I stand on this DVD release issue.

If you ask me, Disney does a better job when they re-release a classic movie. They not only upgrade the quality, but they also give a VERY nice amount of bonus features that are quite enjoyable.

Universal really needs to get their act together if they hope to beat their toughest competition.

Mmm, I didn't expect this...I'm the Balto Source admin, I sometimes check this forum to find some information about Universal's actings and projects.

You just don't know how much it's true...Universal is just very lazy and only does the minimum. They don't want to take ANY risk, hence the low budget for the sequels and all their animated productions, including the DVDs.
They only care about the franchises that earn money (= Land before time), and even in that case they don't make any real effort.

In fact, this DVD pack is the ONLY thing they did for the Balto franchise since 2004...It's a good step, but still just a repackaging of the current DVDs.
They made two sequels for Balto, but did not make any effort to promote them (no merchandise, no soundtrack, no advertisement, no video game, absolutely nothing...)
They didn't make any merchandise for Balto since the release of the film in theaters, 12 years ago.

I could go on longer like this, but it would be easier to read this article I had written :

http://baltosource.timduru.org/en/b1articl..._Balto/749.html

I can tell you that you're lucky they're making sequels and a TV series for Land before time, or everyone would have forgotten about it for years...

Petrie. · **Reply #34 on:** October 05, 2007, 07:39:28 PM

^ And even the memory would only go so far. I'm no fan of the sequel machine, but I will support a good animated film when I see one (LBT is one, and Balto is another, even if it did take liberty with the real legend).

There aren¥t any DVDs of Balto, LBT or Fivel in our markts or stores. I have to wait until they coming in the TV or someone send them to me

Well, don't ask me for the files. I don't wish to engage in illegal activity. If you want to obtain them illegally, fine. Go download a torrent, but don't ask me for the links. You're on your own. B) Sorry, but I can't be of any more assistance. The only legal way I could see doing this is if you got a friend to buy you a copy from the US and then you decrypted it so it's "De-regionized"(meaning it can play in any dvd player). Not too hard, but I'm not sure if it's legal where you're from. I know it's legal here, but I have no idea about other countries. You should go check that out.

Malte279 · **Reply #37 on:** October 08, 2007, 02:58:41 AM

DvD players which play DvDs from every region are sold legally over here and they aren't too expensive. Ebay may be very helpful if you are looking for the DvDs which are not frequently offered in the stores over here.

I didn¥t want to ask you lbtlover

but however. I am not a friend for giving out money for movies. I am always waiting until they are coming in the TV.

Balto has been out for awhile, so it would be something else for it to suddenly decide to appear on German airwaves. But, then again, I don't quite know how things work over there, so what do I know?
