I haven't seen that movie since I was 12, what's missing? Is the Elasmasaurus supposed to have a crest or a sail on her head? Or is it the sun? (I bet it 's really obvious and I'm gonna feel so stupid when someone explains it to me)

Also, don't know if counts, but in The Great Day of the Flyers when Guido, Petrie, and his brothers are holding Cera's little sister in the air and drops her, she falls for like 10 seconds and Cera catches her by sticking her snout out and her sister lands belly-first. There was no visible suspension or shock absorption. If her sistger had really fallen that fast and for that long, stopping her downward velocity so quickly would subject her to some serious g's. Realistically, she couldn't fall like that, land like that, and walk away giggling.

This isn't an animation mistake, so I'm not sure if this is what people are looking for.

I was watching Youtube videos of songs from LBT. pokeplayer984, the user who uploaded them, included a link to this forum. So, I joined.

I can't think of any songs I flat out hated, most songs fit into three categories:

1) Memorable songs (a few days later I could still remember a few words and/or the tune)

2) Average songs (they were nice to listen to at the time but afterwards I couldn't remember a bit of it)

3) Redeemed songs (Didn't like them the first time I heard them, but after a few more times they grew on me)

My favorite songs are ones sung on a very small scale (i.e. ones sung only by the five main characters while they're alone). I didn't like as much the giant songs where everyone in the Great Valley is dancing and singing along ("Creepy Crawlies," "Flip Flap and Fly," "Yellow Belly Hop"). I just don't think of the adults as people who would break out into song and dance like that.

I've seen all of the LBT, except for VIII, IX, XII, and XIII. Yes, I can't lie; I have yet to see those.

Finally, someone else who hasn't finished watching the series! I still haven't seen the 9th one (Journey to Big Water), or the... 11?, 12? (the Tinysaurus one).

I also agree with you on many points, including having to laugh about the excessive number of sequels, while secretly wishing the movies would never stop. Kinda gets to be a little trying after a while.

Also, Malte, that is an awesome picture. I once drew the five original characters, though not original drawings (I traced their images off the back of VHS boxes, and colored them in.) Sorry about the contest letdown. Personally, I'll bet the "surprise" was a coupon for a free Littlefoot plush toy .

By the way, I'm 20 years old now. At the time, I was around twelve.

Can we count places named by the Narrator (or "Spokes Dinosaur," according to the credits)? Cause then we can add Earth .

In "The Big Freeze" Spike was the only one who broke through the ice at the end.

After that, I'd vote Cera, since in LBT 5 during the locust plague Littlefoot and Ducky ran inside the log but Cera tried and got stuck.

I definitely think the songs should stay. After 13 ovies, watching one without songs would just feel odd.

My personal favorite song is "Beyond the Mstterious Beyond," and I have about five 2nd favorites, including but not limited to "One of a Kind," "Kids Like Us," "Things Change," "Family," and "Bestest Friends."

I wish Ducky would get some songs where she's the lead singer; the other three get so many of those (except Spike  :^.^: )!

Chomper's nice, but he still isn't a longneck. And it's a bit late for the producers to add another relative.

Anyway, this is supposed to be about LBT 14, not 9. Let's deviate back to the original topic.

When my dad showed me my first LBT (don't know which one, probably the first, 'cause my dad's chronologically inclined like that   ) I enjoyed it, and ranked it somewhere on my mental list of good movies. That was enough for mom, and she quickly bought the first three movies, which were all that existed then.

After that, she bought 4-7 (plus the Sing Along Song one) when each one came out. At some point, probably around 12, LBT became my favorite movie series, and I wanted to contribute. I had lots of of good ideas for future films, and for the next two months I typed up and sent a series of 15-20 letters to Universal Studios, each one teling them how big a fan I was, some ideas I had for future movies, and my exitement at waiting for The Big Freeze to come out. Each letter ended with a small request that they send a letter back, or at least acknowledge me.

I never got a letter back.

Seeing how this saddened me, my father decided to help. I remember how he actually called Universal Studios, got in contact with somebody high up, and spoke to them about the letters I'd been sending, and asked that they write one back. Whoever it was assured him they would. They didn't.

This (coupled with the fact that my brother, who had scribbled a hand-written "I Love You" note to the makers of G.I.Joe, and recieved in the mail a coupon for $3 off his next action figure) sort of turned me off the series. When Big Freeze came out, I watched it, and (probably because of the letter fiasco) decided that it wasn't any good. After that, I gave up Land Before Time entirely.  

For the next 8 year of my life, I had absolutely no contact with anything LBT. I develope new intrests: Star Trek, soccer, Drama, this one girl in my English class   .

I don't know what got me reintrested. I think it was during a conversation a few weeks before with my firends about the "Good ole days," that I remembered my passion for the series. I looked it up on youtube, and watched a few clips. I decided that dislike for the producing comany is no reason to stop lovng the series itself, and two days later watched my first of the 'new' LBT movies, The Stone of Cold Fire (still my all-time favorite). One of the Youtube videos included the link to this forum, which is why I'm here!

While Ducky is my personal favorite character, I like all of the Big 5 just as much. They really work well together as a group, personality-wise (I just wish Cera had someone else to back her up during disputes)...

As for dislike, I know they were supposed to be comical characters, but I really didn't like any of the yellow bellies (except the mute one). They were just too clownish, and didn't take anything seriously. I can't imagine such a species suriviving as long as they did, and once they strip clean the Berry Valley I can't imagine what they'll possibly do to stay alive.
