Well, this is really good news! This has alleviated another serious worry of mine that Chomper and Ruby would not end up with speaking roles! So far, everything I've worried about the new sequel hasn't happened: no CGI animation, having great familiar and great new voice actors in place, having Chomper and Ruby back, and now having them confirmed to speak! Really great to have Miriam Flynn back here too, and pleasantly surprised  to see Meghan Strange come back too. All I can say is that so far I have seen very little discouraging news (only that we haven't seen Shorty yet) and I'm very happy to say my expectations just keep getting raised with all of this good news coming out   .

Also of note, Easter is relatively  early this year, at March 27.  Since Universal releases its movies mostly on Tuesdays, this would suggest a release date of March 22 if we're looking at a release right before Easter. Also keep in mind however, that some of the Universal family D2V movies were released two weeks or so online before the DVD release date, so who knows, we may be looking at even earlier than that.

Happy Starday!!!

Happy Starday to you!!!

One more person who worked on the movie:

Cool finds! You're really amazing at finding all these people! So now we know that the movie has just entered its third month of post-production. According to a couple of websites, it seems as though post-production takes about six months or so (though it does vary widely) ; that seems to confirm everything suggesting a release early next year. The only source I know of that could question that estimate is this comment from Scott Whyte saying he's not sure if the movie will come out at the end of this year or the beginning of next, otherwise, the timing estimates look consistent.

Also, it seems that the LandBeforeTimeMovies Facebook page appears to be official, since at the bottom of this Universal page there is a link that leads directly to that site. They've been very quiet recently, they posted quite a bit this summer but haven't posted anything in a month now. Maybe things will change when the Blu-Ray comes out!

Happy starday to you!  

Cool! Aria posted the same photo and said they're "putting the finishing touches on our voiceover work"

I would be shocked if the movie is that long, but hey, its's been eight years since the last one so who knows, they might have some surprises up their sleeve =).

Yeah, although they claimed it was going to be released even before the original (October 13) on October 6!!! Obviously not going to happen. I guess it's IMDB just being IMDB, along with their cast list still listing Meghan Strange as Ruby and Kiefer Sutherland as Bron (Scott Whyte's not on there yet).

Also (this is confirmed), apart from re-releasing the original, they're now re-releasing the sequels on three-packs the same day as LBT 1's release, so it seems like they're trying hard to renew interest in the whole franchise again. They already re-released the whole series in four-packs within Journey of the Brave's production, but they're doing it again now, so they're probably really interested in warming up the franchise just in time for JOTB   .

Cool find! Here's a link to some of his other voiceover roles and includes audio clips of three of them, although I can't imagine Bron sounding a thing like Fizzie on here. Looks like Scott Whyte's a pretty versatile actor though, so I am pretty optimistic.

EDIT: He has a demo of many characters here. Really fun to watch!

Haha! And I can't imagine what Topsy would think if his horns suddenly planted roots into him, grown really tall and have branches growing out of them! (he's called Mr. Treehorn on there) I know it's just a typo, but it's a really funny image!

I think the older listings on IMDB (Kiefer Sutherland as Bron, Jim Cummings as Grandpa Longneck, and Corey Burton as Topsy) all seem like real possibilities. But these new ones just don't make sense. Only way I could see the two Brons working out is if one (presumably Kiefer Sutherland) is the speaking voice and the other's the singing voice.
