Hello there. I wanted to join this forum to basically try and see if I could find the uncut version of the first film, as that was one of the first films I ever saw and I would really like to see the original version. I find it kind of disappointing that Don doesnt like his own film when I really like the butchered version (And Im sure the uncut version would be even better). But anyway, I wouldnt consider myself a fan of the Land Before Time series.
I've really only just found the series again after watching Marzgurl's retrospective on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. She really turned me off ever trying to watch the sequels to the original, but I guess when I watched the 9th movie when I was 9 in 2004, that turned me off too (I really didnt like it then and I doubt I will like it now).
I saw the first movie when I was about 3/4 in the late 1990s (I was born in 1994) and I remember it making me upset but I still liked it. Only 2 days ago I watched the first movie for the first time in 12 years or so and it was one good experience. There were scenes I could remember, and some that I didnt. But the music and the visuals were really nostalgic. I also saw the 5th movie in the late 90s and decided to watch it again for the first time in 12 years or so on the same day I watched the first movie. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was, I found some scenes quite amusing. I wouldnt call it a particuarly good film, but it did feel nostalgic and it was enjoyable.
I don't know if I want to watch the other films or not, but I think there is better annimated films than the LBT sequels. If there are any particuarly good ones from the sequels I may watch it. I heard the 2nd and the 4th arnt that bad.
Anyway, I dont think I will be here long but at the moment I'm in a "Land Before Time" mood
:
I'm also doing a Let's play of one of the Land Before Time games on my youtube channel if you wanted to watch. I'm doing a few other LPs, so it isnt the only thing on my channel, just to warn you.
