There was also the fact that I knew it would be the origin story of their friendship, so that was definitely a lure for me.

Ohh, that is interesting. I never really thought of the first movie as being the 'origin story episode' before, since I simply watched the films in order, but that would definitely be a unique way to approach it if you'd already seen the sequels.

For me, it was a movie I could remember from my childhood, but I hadn't seen it in almost two decades. After I happened to see an online article discussing the film's 30th anniversary a few years ago, that's when I was inspired to rent it from my local library and then I fell in love with it all over again. And that's what brought me to this lovely community here. :)

Sorry for the very, very, VERY late response. I just saw this.

The only reason why LBT II and III were first on my viewing list was because those were the only installments available at my local library at the time. Eventually, I spotted the original available on the library's catalog and checked it out immediately. It was all just a matter of coincidence and convenience.

Ah, the good ole days of public libraries and VHS cassette tapes...

I cant really remember what got me into the series.
I think it was probably because as a kid I was really into dinosaurs so my parents got me the movies along with dinosaur books and toys

ImpracticalDino:
The TV series for Mo-o-o-o acted as the bridge for me to be introduced to the rest of the franchise and its movie, including the first movie. Yep, indeed, Mo-o-o had found the TV series first (via YouTube) before any of the movies, fanfictions, and etc. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. :)

The thing that'll forever keep me invested in the first movie, aside from its more somber tone than other movies of similar G rating, is the lost/cut scenes of the movie. I'm always excited whenever something new pops up for it!

GatchamanReborn:
 Dinosaurs, but of course grew up between the craze from the 80s to 90s. I got to see even Jurassic Park in theaters, but sadly not this one, I was just born at the time. I never took interest in the fandom till recently since I don't happen upon forums very often.

 This again was one of those films that made me hunt for a Littlefoot plush till succumbing to ebay. I blame a girl that was in my class had one with her, and made me envious!

originally as a kid i had 3 or 4 of the sequels but i did not see the First one until years later and now LBT is one of favorite things beside astronomy, undertale and deltarune and super mario galaxy :ChomperPOG
