Children's films today, Pixar aside (and even Pixar has gone downhill a bit in the last half-decade), are just full of obnoxious pop-culture references, pop songs, obnoxious characters, celebrity voice actors, mediocre storytelling, bad writing, terrible jokes, and so many other things that would NOT suit a LBT remake.You mean, Pixar AND Disney aside, because Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia were all excellent. And Moana is shaping up to be awesome.

I think you are too critical about many things, Bruton. Watch the movie and enjoy it. If the original movie didn't have the cuts, it would be perfect, but even with them it's still one of the best movies ever made. I don't get why so any people keep on ranting about anything in movies. Geez, just sit back, watch and enjoy. If there's an interesting story/idea with likeable characters, good animation/filming and voices/actors that fit the roles, why rant about it? Not everything is going to be 100% the way you want it to be so be happy with 90% or continue watching movies with frustration, your choice really...The thing is, LBT simply isn't something I'm as into as it used to be. Obviously I'm still a part of the LBT community, but it's only really something I'm into if it's what I consider really good. And to me, now, even the original has too many problems. Without the cuts it would be much better, though.
That's really why I'm not very critical about movies. I watch them and either I enjoy them or I don't but there's no gain in getting upset about every little shit. Some bad jokes? So what, the movie's still good <_<QuoteQUOTEHaven't seen Tangled and Big Hero 6 yet but the others on that list are amazeballs, their recent movies are, if anything, better than the older ones.

Out of the ones you mentioned, I can only agree on Wreck-It Ralph and Zootopia being very, very good as the rest were okay or mediocre in my opinion. Honestly I'm not sure I would trust Disney with remaking the first chapter of the adventures of Littlefoot and the gang.QuoteChildren's films today, Pixar aside (and even Pixar has gone downhill a bit in the last half-decade), are just full of obnoxious pop-culture references, pop songs, obnoxious characters, celebrity voice actors, mediocre storytelling, bad writing, terrible jokes, and so many other things that would NOT suit a LBT remake.You mean, Pixar AND Disney aside, because Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia were all excellent.
Personally I don't think there's anything inherently bad about remaking old classicsbut WHY do we need any remake if we already has perfect original?
And let's not forget The Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stich, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, and The Princess and the Frog all of which I thought were excellent films. Granted, I'm probably in a minority on that though because everyone else seems to hate those films (with the exception of Lilo and Stitch which was actually a huge success). Oddly enough people never can seem to be able to explain exactly why they hate those films. When they do, the reasons they give are usually petty, like Doug Walker spending the majority of his Brother Bear review bashing the film simply because he hates Phil Collins for some unexplained reason.QuoteChildren's films today, Pixar aside (and even Pixar has gone downhill a bit in the last half-decade), are just full of obnoxious pop-culture references, pop songs, obnoxious characters, celebrity voice actors, mediocre storytelling, bad writing, terrible jokes, and so many other things that would NOT suit a LBT remake.You mean, Pixar AND Disney aside, because Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia were all excellent.

As much as I'd hope, I don't think we'll see another LBT film from Bluth. For now, I'm just hoping that the Dragon's Lair's will be a great film. Even if that's the case, it's unlikely that Universal just calls Bluth and offers him a chance to resurrect the franchise. Nothing's impossible though... ;)But darker and more complicated children's properties are currently the "IN" thing right now. The Universal execs would have to be fools not recognize the waves the likes of Gravity Falls and such are making.
None that I can think of since today's world parents would complain if it's to darkMy post disproves this comment entirely.
I wonder if a remake would include all the deleted scenes, since 10-15 minutes of scenes were cut from the first movie. I wonder if all of it was found.Pretty sure it hasn’t been found. I really hope something will turn up though.

Crucify me for saying this, but after doing a lot more thinking, I'd actually be open to a remake, no matter how terrible it may be. Why, you ask? Well, a remake could help introduce kids to the original movie, which in turn would expose them to its awesomeness and artistic value.Oh, I think it could be done if in the right hands(if the 2016 remake of Disney's Jungle Book proved anything.)
I know, it sounds totally outlandish, but I base my reasoning off the fact that I've been researching and learning a lot of new things about my childhood favorites ever since I entered college. Someone from the newest generation is bound to research the origins of the hypothetical remake out of curiosity and share it with others.
That's true too. If LBT is ever going to come back to theaters, it needs to be completely original, even if it's retelling the same story. It'd be pretty dull, or perhaps worse, if it just straight-up remakes the story with, God forbid, mainstream stuff implemented.Quote from: Dr. Rex,Oct 15 2017 on 01:17 AMCrucify me for saying this, but after doing a lot more thinking, I'd actually be open to a remake, no matter how terrible it may be.

I just think it ending up in the right hands is a bit unlikely. To be honest and I know I will get flak for this, I think a full continuity reboot would be better if it comes to redoing it from the ground up. Mainly because I think a more direct remake would, even if it were good, remain the shadow of the original film.
So if this remake could happen i would say little foots mother would not die and it could be a perfect begining and a good ending by little foot sees his father :DI would have to disagree. Having Littlefoot's mother survive would greatly impact what kind of person Littlefoot would ultimately become. I think this was discussed before. A lot of things would change, and one worth noting is the fact that, had his mother survive and Littlefoot stayed with her, then that means he'd never become friends with Cera and he'd never meet Ducky or Petrie. The consequences of this would be that Cera, Ducky, and Petrie might have remained permanently lost and Spike wouldn't have been found, perhaps even becoming stillborn (as it was Ducky's help that got him to hatch in the first place).

Back to topic:Having Bluth's involvement seems unlikely somehow (as awesome as that would be). But otherwise, I agree with every point.
For me, the requirements for accepting an LBT remake are:
-No pop songs.
-no modern slang.
-Not softening the film's tone.
-Decent child actors as the kids.
-No celebrity voices.
-Fully orchestrated soundtrack. No modern stuff.
-Don Bluth supervising it.
I don't really feel that there should be a remake to be done. Like few people here have said it, when it comes to remakes I'm not a fan of them either. I think they are just ways to make more money, when you just can't come up with new ideas. If the day comes that I become a father, I will definitely show my kids the movies that I enjoyed as a kid myself, the original being one of them. And when it comes to keeping the storyline exactly the same, I agree with that. There's really no need to change how the plot goes.Well the newest trailer of the lion king remake seems well made. I wouldn't mind a new Land Before Time with the same treatment, along with a directors cut with all the deleted scenes included.

I'm also curious how the Gang of Seven would be in their teenage years, and even as adults.
That might be something neat for them to try, an aged up Gang of seven.

I know I'm in the minority here, but a remake actually makes more sense to me at this point. I sort of feel they've taken it as far as they can with simply making more sequels. A remake could be a good chance to put a fresh new spin on things. The rebooted Planet of the Apes series is proof that, sometimes, starting over is the best way to breathe new life into a franchise. I don't normally feel that way with franchises; usually I prefer a traditional sequel that keeps the same storyline going, rather than hitting the reset button. But with Land Before Time, a 15th film would probably just be another lighthearted musical (which I'd still watch anyway). Whereas the idea of a remake is more interesting to me because then I wonder, how would they take the original film and approach it from a different angle?I've actually changed my tune in this regard. If they can do it well, they should go for it.
I'm not worried about them "ruining" the original Land Before Time, in the sense that it simply couldn't happen for me. I love the original film, and regardless of anything else that happens, I can always go back and watch the original again.
I'm with ImpracticalDino though, in that I do want the franchise to continue on somehow. I'm okay if it takes a while, but I hope something comes eventually, regardless of whether it's a remake, a sequel, a TV series continuation, or whatever else.
Same here. As a fan of the rebooted Planet of the Apes films, I think it'll help the LBT franchise a lot if they released a reboot of the same caliber. As long as the people working on it know what they are doing and care a lot about the source material, nothing can possibly go wrong.I know I'm in the minority here, but a remake actually makes more sense to me at this point.
