It's been a while since we had one of these and since then we've gotten a few new members since last time. Let's see what the general opinion is.

At first, I was going to pick 5, just because Chomper was in it, but he made up such a small part of the movie. He was only in the last third or so of it, and I really didn't like the first half of the movie. This is the same way with 2. I loved the second half with Chomper in it, but the first half wasn't that great.

I finally decided on 7. It had Pterano in it (Probably my second or third favorite character now. some Pterano fans on here have helped me see the light. :lol ) He's a great tragic hero, and so complicated and intricate. I also loved the mysterious rainbowfaces in it. Some people hated them, because they didn't like the idea of aliens in LBT, but it sounded like a great idea to me. It was handled very well in the way the rainbowfaces never really revealed anything about themselves, and I loved the talk they had at the end with Littlefoot (It's why I did a talk like that when they came up in my fanfiction :DD ).

So yeah, I think 7 was the best sequel.

Simple. LBT 2.

It was one of my favorites when I was little and the only LBT sequel I remembered the most.

Had to go with three.

I dunno, I just haven't seen it for a long time, I just got it yesterday actually, and I was excited about watching it today. Eh, good songs and a good story, so my vote went for LBT three.

Since I had the opportunity, I voted for several:

7- Another one that just seemed to work. The story was cool, the settings and drama were pretty good, and of course, a cast of celeb-voices! Pterano was a great character too, and is probably my favourite of the new characters from the sequels. It was obvious that Michael York had a fun time voicing him.
Only downsides were the twist ending, which neat as it was, just seem ridiculous (coming form me, that's saying something.), and "Good Inside", the damp squib among otherwise pretty good songs.

8- It just seemed to work. The animation was lovely, the score music was nice, it was the first movie where I considered all the songs listenable (Yes, I honestly think that "The Lesson" isn't that bad, so kill me.), and the plot was well thought out, and didn't have to rely on mystical elements like the previous 2 (Though it was well done in both cases)

9- I just think this one was nice. That's it. It wasn't particularly fun, it wsn't really dramatic or epic or funny, it was just nice. The whole thing smacked of schmalz! The settings, the plot, the new characters. heck, the only thing I find wrong about this film is the "Imaginary Friend" song which is now probably an easy contender for the worst LBT song in my opinion (I've finally seen number 13, and "Yellow Belly Bounce", as silly and pointless as it may be, is ridiculously toe-tappingly catchy)

10- I just love this one. The animation was lovely as usual, the settings were awesome, and the SFX were pretty cool too, except for the conspicuous CG moments. The plot was pretty cool, and the ending was awesome. We had a climatic mass-battle (4 longnecks vs 3 big sharpteeth), a dramatic aversion of disaster, and then to top it all off, probably one of the best musical numbers of the series. That ending always gets a tear out of me every time!

I like 4 a lot! It was the one I grew up with, the first one I saw fully (the only one for years I saw fully) and it has Ali in it! I love Ali :) I really love 2 as well.  :D

But my favorite...? That would be movie 3. I love that one!!! :smile

Suit yourself, but for reasons I've given in a seperate topic, I think the first half of 5 is the better by far. I can't understand why you'd think the second half was better when the first was darker, had better songs, was far more interesting,  wheras I thought the second was mostly dumb and kiddish; which was very sad, in my opinion, since it started out a good film. I consider the first half superior in every way, but if you honestly like the second half better, then I completely respect it, so don't let anyone persuade you otherwise.  ;)

"Good Inside", the damp squib among otherwise pretty good songs [of 7].

"Good Inside" isn't a terrible song, in my opinion. It isn't the best song we've ever gotten, but it was very sweet and touching, and had a good message---we're not all entirely bad and not all entirely good. As Sirius Black explains in the Harry Potter seires, "The world isn't split up between good people and death eaters!" It's really much like "It Takes all sorts", although I like that one a lot more.  ;)

 I personally consider "Friends for dinner" the damp squid among the otherwise good songs in 5!  :smile

I cat my vote in for #7: The Stone of Cold Fire.
Ever since I first saw it it's pretty much been my favorite LBT sequel. And it's not all because of Pterano, either (he's always been a favorite character of mine ever since the 7th movie came out.) I can't quite put into words how the whole movie - the plot and the characters, even a few of the songs - tie in very nicely together in my opinion.
I'll start with the obvious - I'm rather charmed by the fact that a complex relative of Petrie's finally makes an introduction. Up until the 7th movie, as far as I know, we've only seen Petrie's mom and his siblings. I'm glad they introduced a relative of his that's more involved in the story, and what's more is that Pterano seemed to me to be a very 'human' character. He seems neither completely bad, nor completely good. He has faults, he makes mistakes, he has a conscience and can feel guilt.
So can the other characters, of course, but Pterano, more than anyone else, stood out as a LBT character who was more faulted than the others and who also seemed to struggle trying to live with these faults, and even either being unaware of them or being in denial of them.
And, as much as a lot of people didn't seem to like this, the Rainbow Faces also struck me in a funny, amusing way. =) I wasn't at all sure what to make of them, especially at the end of the movie, but they were a very different touch to the LBT universe.
I guess if I were to sum it up, I love the character development in the 7th movie, and I like the idea that a person who has done wrong can repent and make peace with those around them. It's the characters I really enjoyed from the 7th movie. =)

Here here!

And while I did have a bit of a qualm with the Rainbow Faces being aliens, I have no convinced myself that they are the Doctor and a Companion, and the Stone of Cold Fire is the TARDIS (which is a "miracle" machine to simple creatures). It just somehow got a beaming-up feature. And its explosion was just part of the Chameleon Circuit.

And now, I need to write a comedy short in which Pterano discovers all of this and struggles with wrapping his mind around it, plus Troll!Doctor

Post by: Chomper98 on August 20, 2012, 06:46:03 PM
My favorite sequel was 10. The reasons were because the kids and adults finally have their roles back to normal, and not the kids doing everything, while the adults just argue, the adults actually do the work in this. Another was Littlefoot's father Bron, I don't care what other people think, but I personally think he's a good character. Plus, while the sharpteeth didn't gang up on the Longnecks in the fight, I think it was personally done because they wanted a cool battle, not just one longneck getting torn apart if they ganged up on one. In the sharpteeth's defense, they may have not ganged up at once because they may not have been in a pack, and just wanted food for themselves, though the green one tried to gang up with the orange one on Bron, and when Grandpa Longneck attacked the green one, the sharptooth attacked him out of self defense. The only thing I didn't like about the sequel was Shorty, in my opinion he didn't contribute at all.

My favorite is definitely 10. Lots of things in the movie related to the first movie and its characters, and using Olivia Newton-John and Kiefer Sutherland in the voice cast? BRILLIANT! I also enjoyed the music. Much of the soundtrack was original, and "Best of Friends" (the credits version) was really good. I personally think they could have found a better voice actor for Littlefoot, but you can't win 'em all! The Sharptooth fight was one of the more interesting ones as well, and my little siblings enjoyed the heck out of watching Cera drop the giant log on the Sarcosuchus.  :DD

As far as I'm concerned, it does not deserve a single vote.  To this day I still fully believe it was created to kill the franchise.  I stand by that despite the fact I have no evidence.

Oh, and if you're wondering, I voted for 9.  Had a well thought out plot and not one song (at least in my mind) sucked.  Plus, it has my favorite side character, Mo, and has a sharptooth that is legitimately scary.

Hey Bruton, I'm gonna assume you want vonboy to answer this but I know him good enough to have a good guess why he liked the second half better.

Personally, I do agree that the first part of the movie (which was not done by Grosvenor if I'm not mistaken...) was in many ways darker and better. Vonboy though probably likes the second half better because Chomper, his favourite character, only appears late in the movie. Just a guess of mine ;)

*****

Anyway, while I'm here waiting for the prof to start the course I'm attending right now I might as well add my own two cents to the thread :p

My favourite sequel is not one of the more popular choices around here (don't worry, it's not LBT 13 :p). I voted for LBT 8 for a few reasons. LBT 8 actually has a similar feeling of nostalgia to me to the first movie because I've seen it so many times in my childhood. Besides, Ducky is the main character of that movie :D
The snow is a really cool idea of the producers. I really like snow :p Also, the soundtrack is lovely and I really love the snow themes of LBT 8.
Thicknose is a really cool character and he certainly has some funny moments too. Tippy is a bit annoying but just the perfect friend for a mute/disabled Spiketail ;)
I also like 3, 4 (that one is my second favourite), 7 & 12.

Post by: Dalekdino on October 13, 2015, 07:25:15 AM
For me I voted LBT 4.
It's the one film I have the least issues with, has a good guest character Ali who I think is really underrated and deserves a much better return then that crappy one in the TV show. Also has a bit of an edge to it what with grandpa long neck becoming deathly ill. Also has my favourite LBT song It takes all sorts. In fact it's the last film were I actually enjoy the songs until LBT 7 (another favourite sequel as well as 12)  And to me, LBT 4 has very little of that OTT cartoony silliness that all the later sequels have....
I also like the background music in this sequel, and it reuses some of my favourite parts of the 1st movie's soundtrack.
And on a sad note well for me personally. Its the last film were I get to hear Cera with a fitting real kids voice, and say her cute "Hee" catchphrase... Also LBT4 was the last film Cera's original VA ever did according to her IMDB.

Post by: NewOrder on October 13, 2015, 12:22:38 PM
Dalekdino basically took the words out of my mouth. I also voted for 4, it was the one movie that really got me into TLBT franchise. I first watched it around Christmas in 1997 when it first aired on our national TV channel. It was dubbed in European Portuguese, and I managed to tape it back then because I wasn't going to be at home when it aired.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions ever, since the DVD and VHS versions of all the sequels, including the original film, are all dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese, and the songs just aren't as good.

I've worn out my VHS tape of TLBT 4 and a few years back I've managed to copy it into a DVD so it's still safe and I watch it every time I get a chance to.

The introduction of Ali, and the promise of her return was one of the things that got me hooked on the later sequels, even though I stopped paying much attention to them after 7. I did watch and own all TLBT DVDs, including the TV Series, but I guess my favorite sequels have to be 4, followed by 2, 7, and 5, tying in with 9, 10 and 12.

If you're curious about how It Takes All Sorts and Grandma's Lullaby sound in portuguese you can check them out on my blog: It Takes All Sorts (http://nosenseofreason.blogspot.pt/2008/02/em-busca-do-vale-encantado-iv.html) Grandma's Lullaby (http://nosenseofreason.blogspot.pt/2008/02/em-busca-do-vale-encantado-iv_10.html)

I assume that might have something to do with why RAS left. It definitely seems like he prefered a mix of dark and light in the films, while Grovsner was more into trying different and bizarre stuff.

Still, 7 feels closer to the tone of 3 and 4 and 2 feels closer to the tone of 6 and 8-12. So they can both do things better or worse. On the other hand, I don't want to see whoever directed 13 near the franchise ever again.

In that case, you'd want to point the finger at Jamie Mitchell.  He was the main one.  Charles Grosvenor was Supervising Director.  You'd think that, given Grosvenor's track record on the previous ones, he'd do a better job at it.

(I know this is off topic but anyway) I checked out the EURO Portuguese version of it takes all sorts, and I will say it wasn't all that bad, in fact I wanted to rip it but it wouldn't work on any rip site:(. Better then the Brazilian version , Yeah I did some research on youtube, and god that version was bad.. I couldn't tell if Littlefoot was voiced by a man or a woman and the way he sung was silly, Cera sounded way too cartoony and silly and Ducky's Brazilian voice was too deep and sounded older then Cera.

In fact the only other dubbed version of It takes all sorts I like is the German.

Every other dub of that song I've heard I have issues with. E.G. In the French dub Cera sounds like a boy, in the Finnish dub Ali is clearly voiced by a grown woman while Cera and Ducky have real kid VAs and the difference between the 2 voices is  painfully obvious, in the Russian dub Ali, Littlefoot , Cera and Ducky all sound the same, the VA wasn't even trying to sound different for each voice, In the Dutch, I would like this version if it weren't for the fact that Petrie sounds like Gonzo from the Muppets been strangled! But the worst version for me had to be the Swedish.. As Littlefoot sounds WAY too old in that dub, his VA's voice as completely cracked.... Ruining his cute factor... And Ali was again clearly a grown woman putting on a very silly and unfitting cartoony voice....

If there's one small flaw I have with The Land Before Time II, it's that the characters at one point seem to know less than the audience does. In this case, the fact that they keep on mistaking Ducky's sibling's egg for Chomper's egg, and thinking that Ozzy and Strut stole the latter. We saw the egg they lost roll back into Ducky's mom's nest!

I like all of the sequels, even XI and XIII, but I picked VI because nobody else did, and I actually like the Secret of Saurus Rock a lot. I liked the old western feel, and the changing folk-tale premise. Doc was a fun character, and in my opinion there aren't enough Diplodocuses in LBT  :p

(I did like XIII far less than all the others, though. Just a side note :lol )

In an old school kind of away, eventhough I didn't really care for XI or XIII, my least favourite sequel is III. The storytelling is just too slow, in the action scenes with the raptors I never really felt that the stakes were that high, and the bullies were a bit much. Also, the gang only really sings one song, which is one of my favourite ones, but still, III just doesn't do it for me.

Maybe it's also because back in 98 I used to watch all the land before time sequels on saturday afternoon (I actually did it for a few years longer, until 7 came out), and I always wanted to fastforward to Journey through the Mist, so The Time of the Great Giving was just a step in my way :p

Cool. I own them all on DVD, bought them about 9 years ago when they were still easy to find in stores. I'm just missing a couple of DVDs from the TV series, but unfortunately I can't seem to find them with Region 2 or Region Free online.

Back when they were only 7 sequels I used to watch them Monday through Sunday, so I didn't wear out the VCR and had some extra time for myself :p

It's good to see you're sharing TLBT with your kids, I hope to do that some day as well.

Btw, did you guys used to also have TLBT marathons?
I actually streamed one for the whole forum some years back.  I didn't get much of an audience, but I had fun doing it.  Heck, only a few of us showed up for the 13th movie and we decided to make fun of it in the chat while it was playing.  It was actually kind of fun.  It was the only thing that made it tolerable for us.

If I can get things set up, maybe I'll do a stream of the 14th movie when it comes out.

You just made me picture Mike Nelson and the gang doing a Rifftrax of The Land Before Time 13. It would be a breeze for them to do, considering some of the crap they have to watch.

I am sure I posted on a thread like this, but it appears I didn't. Oh, well.

While I have many favorites for a variety of reasons, I picked LBT 10 out of the mix because it made me the most excited out of all the LBT sequels when I was a child. I liked the plot, the action, and of course, the introduction of Bron. That was a real shocker to me; I never thought we'd meet Littlefoot's father at the time. So yeah, it takes the cake.

Personally, I do agree that the first part of the movie (which was not done by Grosvenor if I'm not mistaken...) was in many ways darker and better.
Grovsner and RAS worked together on movie 5, the only time they did so. RAS leaving might have been due to the fact that he felt the series was in better hands with Grovsner.

But it's not the directors who choose what will happen in the story, it's the writers.

I've just rewatched LBT IX, I guess at the time I didn't realize it, but it has so many references to the original movie, not only in the dialogue and in some of the scenes, but also in the background music. There are even a few references to LBT IV, I guess it was the combination of these two things that made it my favourite of the later sequels.

At first, I was going to pick 5, just because Chomper was in it, but he made up such a small part of the movie. He was only in the last third or so of it, and I really didn't like the first half of the movie. This is the same way with 2. I loved the second half with Chomper in it, but the first half wasn't that great.

I finally decided on 7. It had Pterano in it (Probably my second or third favorite character now. some Pterano fans on here have helped me see the light. :lol ) He's a great tragic hero, and so complicated and intricate. I also loved the mysterious rainbowfaces in it. Some people hated them, because they didn't like the idea of aliens in LBT, but it sounded like a great idea to me. It was handled very well in the way the rainbowfaces never really revealed anything about themselves, and I loved the talk they had at the end with Littlefoot (It's why I did a talk like that when they came up in my fanfiction :DD ).

So yeah, I think 7 was the best sequel.
Why dont you like the first half of 5? If it wasnt for the second half, which I really didn't like, it.would be my favorite sequel.
Hey Bruton, I'm gonna assume you want vonboy to answer this but I know him good enough to have a good guess why he liked the second half better.

Personally, I do agree that the first part of the movie (which was not done by Grosvenor if I'm not mistaken...)
Wait, was this confirmed?  :!

Not sure, but lots of people here have been talking about it like it is, so I assume that is true.

Bruton, as I said, that's what I think is how they did it. I just don't know but it feels like it's been like that. Not confirmed of course, just my impression :)

Ok, cool.

All this makes me wonder why there's never been a Behind-the-scenes featurette.

Well, I'm sure you wouldn't be the only one here interested in seeing something like that ;) It'd be cool to see how these movies we love so much came to exist :)
