I’m not mad—and I’m sorry if it seemed that way—but I wanted to let you know that the member you appear to be repeatedly asking for explanations is no longer here. Maybe I misinterpreted things, but from my viewpoint, you seemed to be getting mad at him.

No, I’m not mad, just very confused, haha.

@GreyLizard226 You know, The Friendly Sharptooth hasn’t been around here in ages and is unlikely to come back just to reply to the complaints you keep making about posts of his from more than 10 years ago.

Are you mad at me? I was just saying that some of the things he wrote were rather harsh and/or didn’t make much sense.

Why is almost no one posting here

Because I think aabicus already summarized how most other members feel about this topic. Read his post for the answer to your question.

You know, The Friendly Sharptooth (yes, it’s obvious who the member you were referring to is) never claimed the scenario he described in his post was factual. It was just an imaginary, speculative scene he made up based on the fact that, in his opinion, LBT 11 and Pocahontas had similar storylines.

But other people can add to the topic. Not everyone has the same opinion.

It just seem an odd speculation, like maybe he knew something other members didn’t.

In movie number three, there was a problem in the Great Valley- a lack of water. The adults handled this by arguing for an extended period of time, which accomplished nothing. The kids also had a problem- their peers, or, the bullies, were heading into danger. Littlefoot did not hesitate, left the valley, then saved the mean teenagers. So, in retrospection, the adults couldn’t handle their problem while the kids jumped right into theirs and solved it. Isn’t that teaching kids that careful planning is a waste of time and rushing into danger is the solution? Furthermore, it might make kids not worry about being reckless, as their parents will just fix everything. I mean, I once made a thread in this section comparing The Lion King to The Land Before Time. Well, here’s a difference, making The Lion King’s example of this more appropriate for developing minds.

In The Lion King, Simba recklessly charges into the unknown, and because of that, he was nearly killed. The gang of five was also nearly killed for wandering off. So what was the difference, you ask? Simba got a royal scolding from his father. Mufasa gave a huge lecture that taught kids what can happen if you head into danger. The adults in The Land Before Time? Hm. “This is no time to go exploring.” Really? Is that all? Just like the adults failed to respond to a problem, they failed to chide their children and reveal just how wrong it was for them to leave like that. Hyp got reprimanded the worst, but the only complaint his father made about him leaving was that his departure was a distraction to solving the water problem. “Duh, dad?” “Yeah?” “I’m going to enter a near death situation.” “Nah, don’t do that! It might distract me!” The full concept of the danger was never passed down from parent to child. The parents simply took care of the sharpteeth, and all was fine. So, kids were glorified as being the ideal characters and the authority and wisdom of adults was thrashed in this film by making it seem like not planning is the way to get things done, and doing dangerous things will simply cause your parents to bail you out. Did the head writer have parent issues…?

Okay. What the heck is your problem with LBT 3? You go and talk about something completely unrelated just to bash it. Just, what the heck???

Hm, not much to really say about this one. The kids accepted the tinysauruses while the adults feared them and wanted to drive them away. The kids were like John Smith from Disney’s Pocahontas, the tinysauruses were the Indians, and the adults were the other white men. Both groups could not accept the other on equal terms and wanted to be as far away from each other as possible. The white men (the LBT grownups) wanted to drive away the Indians (the tinysauruses) while John Smith (the kids) found peace with both sides at once. Whoa, hold the phone. This isn’t LIKE the Pocahontas movie. It IS the Pocahontas movie. The savages song from Pocahontas is just like the creepy crawlies song from the LBT movie. I can just see the director, trying to think of a plot for movie eleven, then his little daughter tugs on his pants and asks him to watch a movie with her. He refuses for days, then finally accepts, having found no ideas. As he watches Pocahontas, his eyes lights up, and he calls the writer team up. Sadly, the father never finishes the movie with his daughter. I mean, seriously, the plot theme was just like that Disney movie,

What the…??? Okay, where the heck did this idea even come from? 

In movie number twelve, there is a system erected to be followed by young flyers. When they start acting out of line, Petrie’s mother says that the day of the flyers will never be the same. How awful!

Was that…sarcasm? Usually when people go “how awful!” they don’t actually mean it.

What the flyer does The Lion King have to do with LBT 3

Sorry if that was a tad harsh.

Surprised this thread hasn’t gotten more attention.

They ended up bringing bad luck to the Great Valley as they were the ones who broke Saurus Rock

That was NEVER confirmed…was it? 

If I recall correctly Threehorn knew people involved. or knew people who knew people involved. I might be wrong but though.

I almost thought for a moment there that that was the name of the member I quoted but nope.

I noticed that way back when, one user made this comment about LBT 11:

“ The kids were like John Smith from Disney’s Pocahontas, the tinysauruses were the Indians, and the adults were the other white men. Both groups could not accept the other on equal terms and wanted to be as far away from each other as possible. The white men (the LBT grownups) wanted to drive away the Indians (the tinysauruses) while John Smith (the kids) found peace with both sides at once. Whoa, hold the phone.

Sadly, the father never finishes the movie with his daughter. I mean, seriously, the plot theme was just like that Disney movie”

I thought it was a very odd comment since the so-called “theory” —-the way it was described, anyways—-seemed oddly specific, as if they actually knew about some of the stuff that went on behind-the-scenes in the story creation area, but (for the sake of some discretion, I would assume) brought it up as a “theory”.

I know there have been people here who have talked with LBT voice actors and reached out to them, but I’ve never heard of anyone who personally knows anyone who worked on the sequels, much less the original. Unfortunately, the user I quoted hadn’t been active since before the boards got that overhaul a while back .
