Finally got to see more than the last few minutes of this episode.
Littlefoot, Ducky, Petrie and Chomper (followed by Hyp, Nod and Mutt) find a nest of Fastbiter eggs. They decide to carry the eggs away from the valley so the baby sharpteeth can grow up without eating anyone, and set off on a journey into the mysterious beyond. Of course there's also a very angry Fastbiter mother chasing them...
Songs:
- We Must Be Brave (to the tune of I Feel Mad).
- Adventuring (post-adventure version).
Another "movie character" episode.
No Cera, Spike or Ruby in this episode.
-
Did you record it? on video. please say you did
-
Afraid I couldn't, sorry.
-
oh ok :) no problem. just asking cause all I need is a VHS video recording of the episodes we haven't got and I can record them onto PC :)
-
Still this episode sounds really cool to watch, I hope see it myself some day :)
-
AAAAH!!! NO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!! I IS HOODWINKED!!!!! CURSE YOU, CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!
Sounds interesting. I'd sure like to see Hyp, Mutt, and Nod again.
-
AAAAH!!! NO!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!! I IS HOODWINKED!!!!! CURSE YOU, CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!
What?
-
I was expressing my displeasure at Cartoon Network's poor handling of the episodes that is causing a lot of us to miss these episodes ,which is hopefully improving.
-
Ah I see.
I checked the schedule so far for Cartoon Network, and I don't think any of the episodes listed haven't been aired so far.
-
I get several thousand channels now. What other channel does the LBT tv series air on? I did the search thing and found all the eps, but it never says what freaking channel they're on! :angry:

If you "can get any channel anywhere in the world", then why don't you just find the UK version of Cartoon Network and see if you can find the LBT episodes?
-
I thought it was the UK version of Boomerang it came on.
-
Oh whoops. ^^; Yeah UK version of Boomerang, not Cartoon Network. ^^;
-
No worries. :D
Yeah, landbeforetimelover, you might want to check out the UK Boomerang first (it's not on the US Boomerang).
-
Yep that correct UK version of Boomerang :) I don't have it but if I can view it then that great :) but if I can find a way to view.
-
I got boomerang from the UK, but I have to record it at a minimum of 12megs a minute. That's gonna be a huge file. I dunno how good it'll come out when I compress it... :unsure: Probably not too well. :(
-
it might be big but you can compress it right? Also be aware there is a hourly differences to where you live. UK time for LBT is 3pm to 4pm daily.
-
File Quality's gonna suck :( Even at uncompressed rate it comes in like crap. That's streaming video for ya. <_<
-
Funny, this will be the second time that the main characters will have taken a predator's egg; the first had Chomper in it in the second movie.
-

Crappy quality >>>>>>>>>>>> No episode.
I've been waiting forever for the return of the bullies. This simply cannot be missed!
-
UK time for LBT is 3pm to 4pm daily.
Actually it's only 3:30pm to 4pm now. But they also show the same episode at 6am, and an hour later on Boomerang +1. It's also on at 12:30pm and 4pm on Cartoonito.
-
Wow three channels showing LBT, UK doing such a great job :) a shame I can't view any of them :S
-
Since you have seen the episodes, maybe you should post something about them on wikipedia.
-
yeah that a good idea Chikara why don't ya do that :)
-
Actually, I think someone is copying my episode descriptions onto wikipedia. I might do the rest though.
-
Hyp is one of my favorite movie characters! I really hope they didn't mess him up like they did Doc...
-
still I am wondering what this one is like, I would love to see this one :) and the others. It a real shame they not even up on any torrent sites.
-
This episode was alright I thought. Hyp kinda looked a bit odd though :unsure: He didn't seem to look much like he did in LBT 3... And I don't think the original voice over for Hyp was used either. Nod and Mutt didn't seem to look all that different and Scott Menville even replayed Nod for this episode. Still, doesn't look like Hyp had learned an awful lot despite showing reform at the end of LBT 3 :^.^: Littlefoot actually kinda loses his rag with Hyp on a few occasions but, as per usual, the gang sort out their differences and come through in the end ;)
-
Hmm...
Still looking for that episode (and other ones). But there aren't any sites that have them.
The episode sounds very interesting. I want to watch it. :(
-
Was there ever any doubt that they would? :lol

With Demoid having went 'BANG' and practically standing on thin ice here of late, our only hope is that Universal releases these episodes on DVD. Or someone else here records and uploads them.
-
check wikipedia guys! there will be a suprise if you check the page of the
tv series! ;)
-
A nice surprise indeed. I"ll not say what it is so it's not spoiled by anyone.
-

I hate to sound like a party buster, but that "surprise" isn't verified or sourced, so it may have well been fabricated. -_-
-
We'll have to wait and see I guess. :yes
-
The idea of those episodes being released like that is a lovely thought, but it may well just be wishful thinking.
-
I have confirmed that the disk will be released on that date (it's on amazon), but I haven't yet confirmed what episodes are on it. Here's the page:
Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Adventuring-Mysterious-Beyond-Full-Sub/dp/B00105305G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196446192&sr=1-1)
-
That is good news, though the episodes are not confirmed yet.
-
Alright, class, time to pick up your pencils and erasers. Let's look at what we have so far.
On 22:36, 29 November, 2007, Wikipedia said that the DVD "Adventuring in the Mysterious Beyond" will have these episodes on it:On 17:58, 30 November, 2007, Wikipedia said that it will have these 4 episodes on it:- The Amazing Threehorn Girl
- The Great Egg Adevnture
- Through the eyes of a Spiketail
- The Big Longneck Test
On 16:36, 1 December, 2007, Wikipedia says that it will have these 4 episodes instead:- The Amazing Threehorn Girl
- The Great Egg Adevnture
- Through the eyes of a Spiketail
- The Return of the Egg Stealers
Note the substitution of "The Return of the Egg Stealers," the episode just recently fabricated put into the LBT TV article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time_%28TV_series%29) for "The Big Longneck Test." Also, sources, except for Stitch's finding (which neither contained names for episodes or was even ever put into Wikipedia, for that matter), haven't been put into the article. I'm thinking the article is getting mugged. Can someone dig up more reliable sources than Wikipedia?
-
I really hope those epiodes are on the new DVD to come. I haven't seen any of them part from the longneck test and they driving me insane since I never got to watch them when they came on Boomerang...
-
Would be nice if those are on disk 3. Some of those are ones most of us have never seen.
-
I am pretty sure there is no such episode as Return of the Egg Stealers.
-
Perhaps, perhaps not, they may appear at some point in an episode.
-
this i must see The Great Egg Adventure :lol
-
NOTICE: Cartoon Network, Tuesday, January 15th, 10:00am. BE THERE!!!
-
I think it's interesting that Hyp, Mutt, and Nod are in this episode.
-

Aw crapola! I'll be in school. Looks like I'm gonna have to do what I don't want to do.....discover how to use my timer on my DVD recorder. :bang Such a pain in the butt! I've never been good with VHS timers and I'm not going to be much better with a DVD recorder, I can assure you. :cry I'm gonna be so mad if the thing doesn't work right and I'll be even madder if It's my fault! :bang
-
Maybe you can ask if someone here can send you a copy of the episode.
-
The fate of this episode being viewable to us on The Gang of Five and everyone else viewing landbeforetimelover's site is falling on your hands, landbeforetimelover. Mess this up, and we will blow you to the moon. :lol Nah, just kidding. Mabey others should record it, as well, just in case one or the other accidentally messes it up, or their equipment does the same.
-
The more that are recording it the better I'd say.
-
Okay i just saw the episode and I think the rating for this one is like either 8.5 or 9 out of 10. :)
-
What were the bullies like compared to the movie?
-
Huh! I'll tell you first off that Hyp, Nod and Mutt looked somewhat different from when we first saw them in LBT 3, but it's definately them. Also, if I'm not mistaken, their voices were different.
To think, they didn't include Ruby, Spike and Cera in this one and gave a proper excuse. (The Mud Pools, then again, they did enjoy them.) Cera would've definately thought that this was a crazy idea. Leading a fast-biter mother away from the valley by taking her eggs? She'd kill them for that and probably leave their corpse to rot. I'm not surprised that the mother still wanted to kill them for taking the eggs after everything was said and done. They were lucky those eggs hatched when they did.
The episode mostly had them getting chased by the fast-biter mother and planning how to keep her from killing them. So it definately kept you on the edge of your seat, wondering if they would escape. So it was good in that sense.
As for the songs, let's just say they could've done better. I'll have them given to Action9000 when I can, but I've got quite a bit of stuff to do this week. Even my off time schedule is busy.
It's at least decent enough to want to watch again, and that's saying something with the TV eps.
Well, I'll see ya later! :^.^:
-
What were the bullies like compared to the movie?
The apperance of the bullies has changed except for Hyp whose apperance changed a lot since the third movie. Everything else was okay and the actors who voiced the bullies did pretty good. :)
-
I also hope landbeforetimelover is successful in recording the episode. :( I'd like to see this episode again. :lol
-
So would I.
-
I just hope some others recorded it also incase something went wrong on Landbeforetimelover's end.
-
I noticed a goof in this episode. The eggs were blue at first, but then they were yellow for the rest of it.
-
That was wierd when that happened, but it wouldn't be the first time though.
-
Maybe with that species of fast biters the young within the eggs can choose what color the eggs shells are. Or more likely animators and or whoever is in charge not paying any attention.
-
Good point.
-
Does anyone find it ironic that chomper is taking part in "egg theft" when his egg itself was moved before he hatched?
-
Maybe he secretly hopes that will make these sharpteeth friendly instead of mean. Maybe also if the eggs hatch they'll have sharpteeth in the valley, more then just one, if that is the plot of moving the eggs out.
-
I think the eggs probably just looked different because they were moved from a cave out into daylight.
The bullies looking different is probably just because the animation style has changed quite a lot since LBT 3 was made.
-
So, did anyone record this episode?
-
I would guess not since no one mentioned doing so so far. There is always the dvd, whenever that comes out.
-
Well we all know by now that LBTlover has it on his website, and I gotta say I enjoyed seeing Hyp and his friends again..and to see them working together with Littlefoot, Chomper, Ducky and Petrie was kinda nostalgic to me. I enjoyed this episode a lot.
-
Hyp did look quite a bit different (and he was a lot smaller) from his self in the 3rd movie, but his attitude was still the same, which I appreciated. Hyp, Mut and Nod are among my favorite sequel characters, and the episode itself was very good. I think the eggs were blue in the beginning because they were in the darkness.
-
I liked this episode a lot as well. Though, I thought that the bullies would be nicer. At the end of LBT 3, it seemed that they weren't really bullies anymore and for 9 more sequels they didn't cause any trouble. If they're really "the greatest trouble-makers in the great valley" as Littlefoot says, I think we would have seen them or at least seen the result of their mischief in later sequels.
-
I think Littlefoot was reffering to what took place in LBT 3.
-
They did seem a bit nicer then their first appearance. And as to why they were not around, I guess it's like with the other characters who live in the valley but are not seen. They usually don't show a character unless they have something to do with the plot of the movie or episode in some way. It may make less sense, but it likely makes the movie and episode easier to write and animate that way. Much the same as there are no other kids really except for mainly the gang and a few others, Guido who is seldom seen and some of the gang's siblings, and such.
-
hyp mutt and nod looked different last time i saw them in LBT 3
-
Perhaps the animators didn't feel the need to be bothered to go back and watch the earlier movie.
-
Does anyone else think that the mother raptor falling asleep at the end was too much of a save? Yes, I'm sure that she was tired after chasing the main characters and that seeing her newborn hatchlings safe would have relaxed her, but it is odd that she would simply forget about those who had stolen her eggs to begin with...
-
It likely was a thing they used to end the episode since they had little time left. It's been done in fiction often before unfortunately, even LBT has used it before.
-
Or perhaps she never intended to kill the main characters in the first place and only ever intended to retrieve her eggs? Perhaps maternal instincts took over and she simply forgot about them...
-
The real last episode of the series---and a freakin' awesome one at that! :smile
-
One of the better eps :)
They thought of a good plot and managed to make it enjoyable and exciting. I was quite surprised when Littlefoot used his tummy as a kind of trampoline (almost yellowbelly-like) to save the egg.
-
It was nice to see the 3 bullies, who had not been seen since the 3rd movie, and they had an explanation why some of the main characters were not around, as I recall. I'd say it was one of the better tv series episodes.
-
I think Mama Fast Biter had the same motives as Chomper's parents: Get the eggs back, harm anyone that is taking them, and maybe go for food around there, but mainly, if you get your kids back, just go and take care of the kids instead and leave the Leaf Eaters alone.
(Who knows, maybe Chomper told her at some point what they were really up to and she decided "Oh well, makes sense. Just don't try anything funny ever again or else :anger :anger :anger :anger :anger :anger :anger ")
It's also possible that, er, the mother already was getting food and hence wasn't hungry. She may have just wanted to whack them for egg taking but realized that seeing to her hatched children was more important and so let the kids be.
-
Ah yes, this one. Never saw it all, but it looked quite good from what I saw. It shows LBT doesn't need all it's main characters to make a good story, and brought back some old character from my favorite sequel. All in all, a good season finale (I know it's not the last episode of the season aired, but seeing as it's listed as the last one, I'm just going to call it the last one).
-
Do you think Hyp wanting to kill the Fast Biter eggs was a bit murderous on his part or do you think that, unlike the Gang of Five, Hyp just never had the joy of having fun with Sharptooth babies? I mean, once he sees the cute little things, he seems to change his mind on them.
Heck, even Ducky thinks Sharptooth babies are cute in film V: "You have cute babies! I see they have their grown up teeth!"
-
Heck, even Ducky thinks Sharptooth babies are cute in film V: "You have cute babies! I see they have their grown up teeth!"
I got the impression that she was just being polite...no use being honest with a carnivorous flyer.

Even worse lying to one! :lol :lol :lol
-
I watched this one on YouTube not long ago.
I enjoyed it, and I thought they did a good job of keeping Hyp, Nod, and Mutt in-character. Yeah Hyp looks a little different, but it's still a close resemblance, and even the voice acting was similar to the original character. :)
I guess I'm someone who appreciates keeping characters in-character when they're reintroduced. I've found that it's not that big a deal to some people, but there's nothing I love more than to see old faces resurface and have it be like old times. Which is exactly the impression I got from this episode. :)
-
Funny moment:
Littlefoot: "Wait, Hyp might be onto something."
*Hyp nods triumphantly, then stares in confusion* "I am?"
Another "movie character" episode.
These are among the episodes I've enjoyed the most. I like when they bring back past guest characters. :)
No Cera, Spike or Ruby in this episode.
I noticed that too. Is this the only episode to omit some of the core Gang members?
Littlefoot actually kinda loses his rag with Hyp on a few occasions but, as per usual, the gang sort out their differences and come through in the end ;)
Again, I just love seeing Littlefoot get angry because it rarely happens and I find it refreshing when it does. :P
Note the substitution of "The Return of the Egg Stealers," the episode just recently fabricated put into the LBT TV article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Land_Before_Time_%28TV_series%29) for "The Big Longneck Test."
That sounds like it would feature the return of Ozzy & Strut. I used to be more ambivalent about them. But I gotta admit, they'd fit in great for a "movie character" episode. :yes
I noticed a goof in this episode. The eggs were blue at first, but then they were yellow for the rest of it.
Oh, haha, I didn't realize that when I first watched the episode. :lol Although Chikara and Ratiasu raise a good point in that it might've just been because the eggs were moved out of the cave and into daylight.
Does anyone find it ironic that chomper is taking part in "egg theft" when his egg itself was moved before he hatched?
Heh, I didn't think of that, but that is indeed pretty ironic. :smile :DD
I give this episode a 6.5/10.
And with that, I have now seen all of the films and all of the episodes!!!!
:celebrate :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate
It was a fun journey.
