I'm pretty unhealthy when it comes to this. I'd say in the past 2 months, 90% or more of free my time is spent watching LBT, or doing other things related to it. What's a healthy percentage? Which catagory do you fall into?
-
What a poll...less than 5%. There are just many other movies/shows to watch as well.
-
I'd say about 5-10%, usually just working on the music videos.
-
I'd say about 5-10% only becuase I watch the movies on rare occasions...
-

Me too. :^.^:
EDIT: Okay, it's probably been more than that for me. I've been doing a lot of LBT related stuff the past couple of days, but it's all been a direct result of this board.
-
i spend probably around 10% due to being on this board, otherwise it would be way lower.
-
I just realized something.. Doesn't this belong in one of the LBT sections of this board?
-

well, it didn't exactly fit in with LBT sequals or LBT tv series, so I put it here. I really didn't know where to put it.
-
Moved.
While it's true, this topic isn't directly related to the sequels, The Fridge is dedicated to non-LBT chat. The LBT sequels are the most likely connection to such "obsession" so I moved this topic here.
-
It's about 10-20%. Hey! I've got other stuff to do. (don't ask)
-

What he said.
-
I watch Land Before Time on my iPod in bed. I have my favorite songs in audio form on my iPod. I even have Land Before Time AMVs on my iPod, which I watch regularly.
-
I personally haven't watched the movies recently, but I basically spend all my time on this and reading LBT fanfics. I'll watch a movie one of these days... <_<
-
I haven't read (exlcuding Twilight Valley), drawn, watched or written anything LBT in going on two years. :o So I voted less than 5%.
-
When I rediscovered LBT a little over a year ago it would've been near 100% but currently under 5% i'd say.
-
Under 5%. I'd like to devote more time to reading fanfictions, but I simply can't afford it.
-
I wouldn't call my passion for LBT an obsession but given the opportunity to watch LBT I would. I haven't watched much LBT since the turn of the year but there will be times when I'll get nostalgic and switch it on. Maybe about 10% ish if I was to put it too a scale but I've always known when enough is enough.
-
Not as obsessed with it compared to a couple of years ago. The most I'd do now is watch the films when I want to and listen to some of the songs, although I do listen to the songs regardless.
-
Maybe 10%. Besides spending time on this board, I have tried to work more on my fanfic, and I managed to finish my music video that I've spent so long on. If I had to say before coming to college, it would have been much higher.
-
I misread the poll question. I spend less than 5% of my total time on LBT. That would be about 20% of my recreational time.
-
I'd say I am a healthy example of a fan of this series.
I like alot of aspects, but I'm willing to accept that some bits are a bit lousy and that it's not for everyone.
I draw alot of fanart, but that's kinda a must for me, since I aspire to be an animator or possibly a character-designer, so I need to get in practice.
I find many of the songs really good fun, even putting them as MP3s on my player.
However, it doesn't get in the way of my other interests. I have other hobbies and interests, I get out and about, I do like other movies (Though most of them are either cartoon movies or Godzilla movies, there's not that much difference), and I still hang out with friends, and for the sake of my friendship, I do tend to keep my love of this franchise on the down-low when they're around. I may say that I think the original is one of my favourite films of all time, but that's about as far as I'll go.
So, I'd say I'm a pretty big fan of the series, but it's a healthy obsession.
-
Under 5%,usually I'm out home
-
If we take for account all the time I have, it would be 45% LBT. If we only take free time into account, it would be more like 80-90%. :lol
-
Uh...I think about 95% of my free time (drops down to about 75-80% if time in general) is spent doing at least one of the following:
watching LBT
listening to LBT songs
browsing GoF
being in the GoF discord server
thinking about LBT
reading fanfics
dreaming about LBT
doing something else LBT related
:lol
-
I think like 30% of freetime? Bit hard to quantify, tbh, mostly because when I am bored I plot fanfic-things and the fandom of that differs by day.
-
in 2007-2012, 50% of my free time was playing and theorizing and thinking and discussing Submachine series. That was peak of my obsession. And I'm proud of it! :D
in 2013-2015, obsession decreased twice.
hmm, about lbt... I had first period of CRAZY LBT obsession in 2007-2009, after watching LBT series, and many rewatchings and thoughts. And start of non-stoppable waiting for LBT14 and uncut LBT1. That's why I consider LBT as my second obsession after submachine.
And second crazy period was in 2014-2017, when I created my lbt fanuniverses, and spent hundreds hours in them. Plus, lbt creators rewarded us with LBT14 in late years. :D
Right now, I'm still big fan of LBT, but without crazy obsession. :) I have a lot of other work for my free time, and for simple thought process.

You know what? My percentage of free time in LBT would rise to 95% if we include "thinking about LBT." ;)
-
Varies between 25% to 50% for me at the moment. Land Before Time definitely made its impact on me, that's for sure.
-
I'd say around 30-60%. Land Before Time has always meant a lot to me and that fact will not change no matter how old I get.

That's probably where I am as well. LBT isn't my only obsession, but for sure one of my biggest. The first film left its mark on me in a way that few movies ever have.
-
I used to be crazy like Union the first year I joined :PCera
Nowadays pretty low. Obsession is the wrong word for it. I think maybe 5-10% for me, with occasional peaks on the weekend for projects, all of it 'cus of you guys :wub
-
^Is there a particular reason why you are not as crazy as you used to be? Or is it just deprivation of motivation that is holding you back? Don't get me wrong, I am by no means trying to sound critical over someone's activity. I am merely interested in your reason as to why this is so.
-
Well, the song Things Change explains that pretty well. While the series as a whole is still very fun to watch for me, my main interests in life have shifted elsewhere. However I do deeply enjoy working on projects for this relatively obscure classic, thanks to the awesome and kind people who keep this community alive and kicking.
-
^I can definitely understand the need to distance yourself from something you loved with passion for a while. I have done that as well with other franchises once my interests shifted elsewhere. Only to return to enjoy them once more anew. And it is true that there are a lot of very kind-hearted people in this community, and dare I say that I have probably never been received so warmly before in my life on the internet.
-
I am at 2%, hoping to boost my precentagw to 5% to 10% by rewatching LBT films.
-
My passion is still going strong. Lots to look forward to in 2020. :wub
-
Anyone know if TLBT is on any streaming services? I want to boost my precentages.
I’m at 7% because of TLBT topics here. But about 50% is going to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
-
LBT obsession is down a bit due to real life obligations and many distractions, but on weeks and days of no school, I’m essentially up to full gear at that point. Of course, there’s summer vacation for me to look forward to, so stay tuned for that. ;)
-
I am at 10% LBT, thanks to the discussions here on the forums. :)
-
My obession has peakes to 20%, I found Chomper using atomic breath and am trying to find a steaming service that has TLBT films on it.
-
More than 50% obsessed
1. daydream about Land Before Time
2. read Land Before Time fanfiction
3. log in to any Land Before Time site I can find
4. write Land Before Time fanfiction
5. create backstories for characters that aren't established in canon
6. listen to Land Before Time songs
7. watching the movies and tv series whenever I can

You should get the 100% Die Hard Award. Really, not kidding. Your devotion is impressive. :)
-
I agree. I only do like two out of the seven things he actually does in his list. :P
-
Well, I am a die hard fan of Land Before Time
-

I am lucky if I do one on that list myself. :lol
I blame Amazon and Netflix, no streaming LBT. :(
Well, I am a die hard fan of Land Before Time
Indeed, I see Topsy in your avvie. Is he your favorite character?
-
Yep, yep, yep; he's in my top ten list of favorite characters.
-
How do you fedl aboit Topps becoming Tria’s life mate?
-
I like it; Tria was an interesting new addition to the cast of characters, and I'm glad she wasn't just a one-off character.
-
My LBT obession os up 22.5% because of Sharptooth Clan.
-
Challenge accepted! :Mo Don't make me throw a percentage off the top of my head :lol but I'll put some bullet-points out here!
-I've seen every LBT movie countless times and own them all on DVD (still have my beloved old videotapes of the first half of the series, too) <3
-Watched every TV episode at least twice and have all but one of the DVDs of those
-Wearing one of my four LBT T-shirts right now (hey, they're from Hot Topic, so it's cool!) :SmugSpike
-At least 50% of my fanfic writing involves Land Before Time, though I'm sadly awful at finishing these things
-I go through lots of fanart phases, but LBT art keeps popping up in there consistently
-I have several songs from the movies in my music collection
-I like to throw random LBT quotes around the household a lot (I believe "Oh...she's mad at somebody!" came up yesterday) :p
-Probably could recite the entirety of The Stone of Cold Fire from watching it waaaay too many times over the years, not even exaggerating...
But hey, it's not like this is something I go shoving in everybody's faces. There's a time and a place for geeking out, after all! Outside my house, this side of me is pretty much unknown. Oh...I'll wear the T-shirts in public, but that's about it. (C'mon, they're Hot Topic shirts! For big kids!!)
-
Up at 25.8% This is because LBT memes on Discord.
-
From time to time, I watched a lot, but then I often got a little pause, and than watched again. I have more favorite franchises, LBT is not my only one.

Same here.
-
For a while, very; I listened to some of the songs pretty often, I spent most of my time on the wiki, I made a good bit of fan art, I worked on a fan project that expanded upon the world of some of the earlier sequels...
As I write, the obsession has waned by a lot, but I still dabble in LBT every so often.
-
My obession us up thanks to returning to GoF, and that I am really interested in dinosaurs again.
-
same as Gentle Sharptooth, ever since I stumbled across GoF, my obsession with the LBT series and Dinosaurs in general went up and I'm thankful for that :)petrie

Totally agree :Mo
-
Low 2%, into another fandom at the moment.
-
Like most people here, my fandom activity goes through phases. But I will say that there are some fandoms I basically abandoned once my initial excitement about them disappeared, and LBT is definitely NOT one of those! I remember when I was eight or nine years old, and I realized I was becoming interested in shows that weren't LBT. I had this moment of thinking like, "Well, I guess this is growing up. I must just be getting too old for this stuff," and I took a break from LBT. Two or three years afterward, my LBT love returned in full force, naturally. :lol Ever since then, I've known that even though I'll always take breaks and find new interests, I'll never truly give this show up. It's been with me way too long for that! :)
-
Uo by 4% due to Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous:
-
I'm not as much into LBT right now. I really went ham on it in 2019 and 2020, haha. This year has been more subdued for me, but I still like to pop by and say hello. Today in particular I decided I'd clear out all my unread forum thread notifications.
-
I used to be all about Land Before Time. Would watch them constantly. I lost interest for a while, then lately sorta just got back in. I've rewatched my favorite movies, been searching all over youtube for good LBT content and reviews and been trying to find communities and other fans online. Glad I found this place. I guess you could say I'm fairly obsessed! :DD But I think it's a healthy form of obsession!
-
Im spent 90% of my time doing LBT related stuff too
-
As an update right now, I'm definitely much less involved in LBT as I was back in 2020. Similar to Stardust right now, I am also replying to as many threads as I can right now lmao.
-
I am actually uo 15% in fandom thanks to discussions here. :)
-
I'm pretty obsessed right now since I've recently gotten back into it, but in recent weeks it's more about the fan content than official content. Saying that, I've been checking out the TV series whenever the YouTube channel uploads a version without the songs since I haven't watched the whole series for years now and would like to catch up without getting that 'I feel so happy' song stuck in my head.
-
"I feel so happy I want everyone to know..."
Yes, I would say everyone in the audience is well aware of this by now. :p

But when Chomper sings “I feel so happy, its like Bright Circle, shining inside of me,” it melts your heart. :D
