Great news, guys! Looks like the complete tv series is finally coming to DVD!
Only issue is that it looks like episodes are still fullscreen when widescreen episodes are already available online.

I can't believe they are still cropping the series, there is no point in a release if it isn't uncut.

To make you more excited, it’s also going to be the first time The Big Longneck Test gets released on DVD, as past DVD releases don’t have it.
The complete series has been available in English on DVD in Germany for a long time now, the only problem is episode 9, which uses German subtitles.

I rewatched the complete TV series, and only that one episode (Escape from the Mysterious Beyond) was effected by the hard coded German subtitles.

The complete series was just released in Germany, basically a repackage of the previous 13 discs:
In einem Land vor unserer Zeit Episoden 01-26 - Die komplette TV-Serie [13 DVDs]

An all region DVD player, that can play the PAL format is required though.

I ended up importing the DVD release of the 'Invasion of the Tinysauruses' from Poland, only to find the movie is cropped to full screen too :( The anamorphic widescreen listed on the back cover isn't accurate at all.

Unfortunately look like the 'Invasion of the Tinysauruses' was never released in widescreen on DVD anywhere worldwide. Maybe the widescreen version will eventually show up on a digital streaming service in future.

I finally matched the screenshots on the back cover the DVD releases of "The Great Longneck Migration" and confirmed the screenshots have been cropped to widescreen for that movie.

So movie 11 (Invasion of the Tinysauruses) was the point the DTV movies switched to widescreen, which makes sense, considering the break at that time.

Can anyone help find movie 11 (Invasion of the Tinysauruses) in widescreen on DVD?

Using IMDB for translations and back covers from each country, I confirmed:
Australia: Cropped
Brazil: Cropped
Finland: Cropped
Germany: Cropped
Greece: Cropped
Hungray: Cropped
Spain: Cropped
Sweden: Cropped
USA: Cropped
UK: Cropped?

Only the DVD release in Poland is listed as 1.78:1 on the back cover:
Pradawny Ląd 11: Inwazja MinizaurÛw
Pradawny Ląd 11: Inwazja MinizaurÛw

Does anyone own the DVD release shown above? I suspect it is more likely a misprint.

Final proof that "Invasion of the Tinysauruses" was produced for widescreen:
Trailer on YouTube.

That trailer shows that first two scenes from the back cover in widescreen.

I'm really tired of movies been cropped to full screen on DVD, it is looking like the widescreen version will be impossible to track down on DVD.

I tried compared the screenshots on the back cover of the DVD releases for "Invasion of the Tinysauruses" to the video I could find on YouTube, and I was really surprised.

Compared this screenshot from the movie:


To the second image on the back cover:


Invasion of the Tinysauruses was clearly designed for widescreen, as the image on the back cover shows more of the left/right sides, without any vertical cropping. The DVD releases has been cropped to full screen, causing the left and ride sides to be cut off.

Looking over the back cover of the other Land Before Time movies, and it looks like the back cover starting offering widescreen images from movie 10 (The Great Longneck Migration) onwards. I'm wondering if 'The Great Longneck Migration' was designed for widescreen now, and I will try to do a comparison later.

The real problem is whether 'Invasion of the Tinysauruses' is available in widescreen anyway? does anyone have the movie in widescreen on DVD?

What about the blu-ray of the original film, has it been released in the UK?
No sign of a Blu-ray release of the original movie in the UK so far. The Blu-ray release of the original movie in the USA is reported to be region free, if it is any help.

When exactly did the Land Before Time DTVs switch to widescreen aspect ratio (1.78:1)?

The 12th (The Great Day of the Flyers) and 13th (The Wisdom of Friends) movies were released in widescreen in Australia and Europe. Are there any signs of earlier movies been produced for widescreen?

I thought the switch to widescreen might have happened when the break occurred between movie 10 (The Great Longneck Migration) and movie 11 (Invasion of the Tinysauruses). But I can find no sign of the 'Invasion of the Tinysauruses' been released in widescreen on DVD anywhere worldwide. The movies (and series) were frequently cropped to full screen for DVD releases in the USA, but other countries usually got the widescreen version.

Looks like LBT 14's getting a general release date of May 10 for U.S. and Canada.

http://www.amazon.com/Land-Before-Time-XIV...te%3A2693529011
No sign of the DVD release on Amazon (Canada) though, only the import from the USA is currently listed.
Here's an Amazon Canada link of it.


https://www.amazon.ca/Land-Before-Time-Jour...and+before+time
That is the DVD release from the USA, notice the '[Import]' in the title name.

It doesn't seem to be available in Canada at all. :(
I suspect the delay in Canada, is related to the Walmart exclusive in the USA. As titles from major studios are usually released in Canada and the USA around the same time.

I thought it would be useful to have a thread for the DVD releases of Journey of the Brave (LBT 14) worldwide, so people know when the movie will be coming out in their country:

USA: Initially exclusive to Walmart, followed by retail release on 10th May 2016
Australia: Released as "The Land Before Time: Journey of the Brave" on 7th April 2016
Canada: Released as "The Land before Time: Journey of the Brave / Petit-Pied Le Dinosaure: Le Quete Des Braves" on 10th May 2016
Finland: Released as "Maa Aikojen Alussa: Rohkeiden matka" on 4th April 2016
France: Released as "Le Petit dinosaure: L'expÈdition hÈroÔque" on 5th April 2016
Germany: Released as "In einem Land vor unserer Zeit: Die Reise der mutigen Saurier-Freunde" on 21st April 2016
Italy: No sign of DVD release
Norway: Released as "Lillefot og vennene hans: De Modiges Reise" on 4th April 2016
Portugal: No sign of DVD release
Russia: No sign of DVD release
Spain: Released as "En Busca Del Valle Encantado: Viaje De Los Valientes" on 27th April 2016
Sweden: Released as "Landet fˆr l‰ngesedan: De modigas resa" on 4th April 2016

UK: Released as "The Land Before Time 14 - Journey Of The Brave" on 23rd May 2016

My main reason for searching worldwide was to hopefully find a Blu-ray release, but it seems like the  movie is only been released on DVD :(

EDIT: More updates

Land Before Time TV Series (2007) / DVD releases
« on: March 10, 2016, 08:41:23 PM »
I'm looking for the perfect DVD release of the Land Before Time series on DVD, but I'm wondering if it actually exists. I currently own the DVD releases from Germany which have the complete series in the correct order, and offer English audio. But one episode (9 - Escape from the Mysterious Beyond) uses hard coded subtitles, which are only in German. Were there any other episodes using hard coded subtitles for the Sharptooth characters?

Researching online, the only DVD releases that seem to exists are:

Themed sets:
6 themed DVD releases in USA (Cropped)
6 themed DVD releases in Australia, France, Spain & UK

Complete series releases:
Complete series released over 13 volumes in Germany, offering English & German audio. Followed by DVD repacks of 6 episodes (18 episodes only), and a complete series repackage been released soon.
Complete series released over 6 volumes in Sweden, in Swedish only. Followed by boxed set containing all six DVD volumes.

Have I missed any other DVD releases?

On a side note, was the series produced in High Definition?
