After looking up some stuff on my TV Guide, I found LBT on Treehouse showing at Saturday mornings at 8:00 AM. You can see the schedule times at Treehouse's website as well (http://treehousetv.com/watch/shows/LandBeforeTime/default.aspx) (http://treehousetv.com/watch/shows/LandBeforeTime/default.aspx)). I'll be keeping my PVR set to record at that time every week, so if any new episodes come up, I'll be sure to post about it. This morning's episode was just a rerun of The Mysterious Above episode.
-
Hope you get a whole collection of the episodes.
-
Please get a dvd recorder! :yes They're only around $50 from walmart now. Sounds like a good thing to ask for for christmas if ya ask me. If you get a dvd recorder, you can put existing eps you have on your pvr and other eps you come across onto dvd and then you can convert them to avi. If you don't know how to convert it, I'll do it for you and then we can put it up for download.
-
Is there going to be a new season of LBT TV or are they just re-releasing Season 1?
-
I probably think there going to. After all according to wikipedia there 26 out of 26 episodes that have been aired and now we have The Return of The Egg Stealers. I'm not 100% sure if it's part of season 1 or season 2. Currently there has not been any information if a season two even exsists yet.

A second season is the only explanation for the episode, "The Return of the Egg Stealers," because there is no other real explanation for it. It sounds like a phony episode, to me.
-
Is there a time when the next season for a series is usually announced?
-
I imagine so, and so far, I haven't heard a word on a second season.

So far that's the only information and wikipedia so far has not lied about the airing of several episodes and the release date of the series on DVD. -_-
-
yay, i'll finally be able to see the rest of the episodes! :DD
-
So will many of us, once the dvd's have all come out. :yes :DD Some episodes for the first time for us all, some every episode for the first time. :yes

The only reason for that is that people have put the information there after the episodes there. Nevertheless, the episode is rumored to be airing on January 5th, 2008, so we will soon see. Also, whoever put the information of the episode "The Return of the Egg Stealers" and the DVDs on there did not do a very good job. A tag on the "Eggs" song on that episode indicates that the song was used in a previous episode. False. It was used on a previous movie, not an episode (which is Wikipedia's own claim, so if it has been used in a previous episode, it's just contradicting itself). This will be the first time it would have been used in a episode. Also, a tag on the episode "The Spooky Nighttime Adventure" indicates that that episode has not been aired in the United States or Canada, which is also false, since "The Spooky Nighttime Adventure" has actually aired in Canada. Not exactly trustworthy material, in my opinion.

Nooooo.... -_- Now that there is an official dvd release of the tv series episodes, I won't advocate for this any longer.

For some of the episodes, not all of them.

Besides, they're such low quality pieces of crap that I don't see how anyone wouldn't want to buy them on DVD if they liked them. :rolleyes: I mean, if you blow them up to full screen, Littlefoot's face looks like a big blob. :lol I did this on purpose. I'm not for movie piracy, especially when it comes to LBT. I do however believe that hardly any adult who's not already in love with LBT would come across the TV series box and turn their nose up at it (It is verrrrry ugly!). They would never dream of getting it because it was a good show. But I've gotten emails from many people saying things like "OMG! I just loved the tv eps! Where can I buy the DVD and what is it called?" or "Thank you for introducing me to the LBT tv series! I saw the box in the store and I couldn't bring myself to buy it because it was so expensive and it looked really stupid. Now however since I've watched the eps on your site, I've went out and gotten the DVD. It's only got 4 eps on it though. Where can I buy the rest?"
I believe that offering such low quality eps promotes sales. Downloading the torrents certainly has done a wonder on my part. I already own the DVD's for most of the tv eps whereas I would have never bought the tv eps if I had just seen them in the store. However, torrents die and they are illegal most of the time, so a lot of people stay away from them. And I don't believe offering such high quality torrents is a good way to promote sales. They're just too high of quality to make people want to go pay for the eps. Most of the torrents are dead now, so I'm glad that I can use my site to promote sales.
I have gotten some emails asking for higher quality eps though. My response is always this:
Here ya go:
*Link to LBT DVD* :p
-
That is one good thing about folks downloading free versions is they see what it is like and some, if not many, of them well go for the dvd version. It's far better quality, it'll play on any dvd player, ect.
-
If they like it, chances are they'll buy it. I mean, come on. $15 isn't gonna break anyone. :rolleyes:
-
It's the price of some movies, and some cost more. There may be only 4 episodes, but if you look at the combined playing length, I think the 4 episodes are longer then any 1 lbt movie, but not the double feature dvd pack. Though the combined running time of the 4 episodes are about the same as most movies out there.
-
The way you were talking it sounded like you wanted to do high quality avi files.....seems like they're in demand a bit, or certainly higher quality ones than what you offer.
-
Many prefer svcd and high quality divx stuff that is equal to dvd. I"m quite happy with low quality video since 1. it's faster to download, and will have the sound and video playing in sinc. Plus 2. If I like it, like the LBT tv series, I will buy the dvd's. Then I get the great quality video, and it supports whoever makes the lbt tv series too.
-
I'm buying the DVDs the minute they appear on the shelf -- which means I have "Amazing Adventures," but not "Good Times, Good Friends." Those are replacing my downloaded files. Until I can get a hold of the DVDs, I keep whatever the highest quality available is for the episodes I don't have on DVD.
-

Do you want my uncompressed TV recordings, at 1.1GB per episode? :lol :p
Anyway, I'll actually probably pass on the LBT TV series...I find the "full-length" films short enough and I just wasn't overly impressed with the TV series in general.
-
You should at least buy it Action. Universal isn't getting tons of money for LBT as it is. We don't want them to go under. :)

If they're better than that (coincidentally) Canadian "MadPsiNtst's" recordings. :DD
-
They actually probably are cuz Action recorded some of them himself. But the ones off the torrent are high enough quality that I wouldn't have had to buy the tv series dvd. I just do it because it's the right thing to do and to support Universal and LBT.

Strange how you're doing what is considered "wrong" to do what is "right", huh? ;)
I've just been so unimpressed with the TV Series that I can't bring myself to finish watching them all despite my love of LBT. Gee, there must be SOMETHING in them that I hate enough to make me stop, huh? -_-
-
Not everyone will enjoy them. Not everyone likes everything.
-
maybe i will watch LBT on trehouse this SATURDAY :lol

Agreed. I am not impressed with the tv eps at all. I do like to watch them occasionally though. I mean, it's more LBT stuff! They do lack seriousness and substance. If they stopped making the LBT sequels cuz they were making a lot off the tv series, my love for LBT would probably go down the toilet as they desperately tried to come up with a new story ever week. -_-

I just talked to a friend of mine about how long it really takes to produce an episode. Not only does it take several months, but they do not start releasing any episodes until a full season is done (usually anywhere between 20 to 24 episodes). They aren't 'desperately trying to come up with a new story every week'.
Each episode is only 30 minutes, while each movie is over an hour. There's less time to tell an LBT story in just 30 minutes, so it has to be simplified. And considering it's a children's show, the seriousness is not going to be very high.
-
Each episode is only 30 minutes
Actually, it's only a little over 20 minutes by a few seconds. The rest of the time is stupid commercials. <_< Talk about LBT fast food. :lol
-
Seems they keep getting shorter and shorter. About 20 minutes for a 30 min show, and aren't hour shows about 45 minutes or less? Don't think I could stand commercial tv. Someday it may be 35 minutes for an hour show and 15 minutes for a 30 min one.
-
The usual tv series episodes tops at 22-23 minutes, leaving 7-8 minutes for advertisements. To be fair, if you don't enjoy what Universal is making LBT to be, what's the point of extra episodes of nothing? To keep a hope alive that someday there will be a perfect episode or perfect movie (a long passed missed opportunity IMO)?

I didn't say they were god awful or anything, but that I didn't like how childish they're making LBT. I mean, it started out as a good mature family movie that no one in the world should be embarrassed about watching, but it's turned into...well...stuff like the tv series. Seriously, they should pull LBT out of the gutter and start making a decent theme at least. Who cares how good the animation is if the story sucks (LBT 13 for example). :rolleyes: I mean jeez, pay for better story writers and get less quality animation artists. I hope LBT 13 is just a pitfall like LBT 11 was and they do a better job with LBT 14. LBT 12 was just fine, no better than fine. I loved it! :D
-
Most of hollywood would rather pay for cheap writers who are not to good then to pay for good experienced writers.

I'm not sure how many people would want to see a movie that has poor animation, no matter how good the story is. A movie needs to have a balance of both: a good story and good animation to go with it. Just as someone may not like to see a movie with great animation but poor storyline, the same can go for not wanting to see a movie with a great story but poor animation.

I already mentioned this before, but Land Before Time is a children's movie series, so of course it's going to appear childish. The first movie was darker and more serious than the sequels because it was directed by Don Bluth. He had nothing to do with the sequels.
I do not believe LBT would ever get as dark as it was in the first movie again. Instead, I believe LBT may continue to grow more and more childish as it continues to try to please parents while trying to attract the younger generation. I mean, if a parent wants to buy a movie for their...5 year old son or daughter, which would they feel more comfortable with? A dark movie about famine, racism, and survival, or a movie that teaches lessons about life, has songs in it, and is generally light-hearted?
-
A very valid point. It'll likely continue in the current trend of the movies starting with number 2 and onward. They may stop at some point of making it more of what some say are the bad points. thought only time will tell. It sounds as if they are writing only at young kids. Good writers can write stuff that young kids can enjoy, and adults too, with it still being g rated. Something for each age group, instead of just young kids only. Though many choose not to do so.

I really couldn't care how good the movie looks. I mean, LBT 1 had pretty primitive animation and I still liked it. The first star trek movies (from 1969) I have on vhs and I still watch them even though they look like a pile of crap. I still like some old monochromatic movies that have been damaged over time. I'd much rather have LBT go back to more primitive animation (movies 1-6) and have good stories than to have them have great animation (like LBT 13) and have a lower quality story. It's gotta stop getting more childish though. I mean, it can only go so far before even the kids turn their noses up to it. :p
-
Compared to many, the original and first three sequels had very decent animation. That's hardly primitive. If you've ever watched films from other countries (say some in Europe) where the studios are not as established then you'll see some quirky animation where things aren't entirely fluid. Kacie already said the best point: this isn't for us and never will be, so to hope for anything that resembles the original is a long missed opportunity. That would've had to have been the first sequel, not the fourteenth.
-
i hope there will be season 2 they will show season 5 :angry:
-
What do you mean they "will show season 5"?
-
January 5th is supposed to be the Canada airdate for the "new" episode, "The Return of the Egg Stealers". We should be keeping an eye out for that.
-
If there are any Canadians who get that channel can, maybe, let folks here know if it appears.
-
today episode was The Missing Fast-Water Adventure :^.^:
-
Isn't that the one where Mo appears?
-
i think so ;)
-
Yes it is.
-
I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but has anyone seen the description of "The Return of the Egg Stealers"?
When Ozzy and a very tired Strut return, they decide to cause havoc by stealing eggs and babies. Can our dinosaurs save the day or will The Great Valley collapse in anarchy? They decide.
This came from wikipedia. I doubt it's true. It doesn't seem like something that would happen in LBT, and Ozzy and Strut don't seem to be the type of villains to do that anyway.
-
It's likely to be a simple plot that can be resolved in 20 or so minutes. Maybe they just return, try to steal eggs and the group chase them off while the grown ups argue about stuff like they often do.
-
All 26 episodes was listed before and The Return of the Egg Stealers I am sure isn't one of them or there would of been 27. And I know for sure there only 26.
-
I'm certain this isn't a real episode. I think it would work as an episode plot though.
-
Maybe it was a planned episode, but it kept being delayed till it was never made. I know that's happened with some dr who stories early on so I assume it happens to other series too.
