fanciful_flyer: Actually, this thread isn't active anymore. I already had a story/adventure with Rinkus from 2010 to 2012 called "Flyers Of The Mysterious Beyond".

This is an old thread from 2010, which lead to starting "Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond". It was a *long* story, too. (It was 41 pages long) although it was incomplete, and had no specific plot, I enjoyed it.

You can read the story in this link if you want to, fanciful_flyer: http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...?showtopic=8905

Since that time, my life has gotten a little more active. Today, i'm working at a part-time job, and am enrolled in a college now.

You see, when I had started "Flyers of the Mysterious Beyond" in late 2010, I had no job at the time and wasn't enrolled in college either, but I did have fun participating in the story, though. Even though I sometimes got overly-dramatic as a tan rhamphorhynchus in the story, I still had fun participating.

It was only a matter of time before someone drew something like this.

Wow. Very nice art, fanciful flyer. No one here has ever drawn Rinkus as a young hatchling with his siblings, and with his mom.  

(The only thing you missed drawing was his light pink colored belly.) But other than that, you did great! I really like these drawings.

He's got cancer. There was a topic on here a while ago but I can't find it right now...

Ducky123: Michael York, had "amyloidosis" and "multiple myeloma" which is a form of cancer in bone marrow, a couple of years ago.

If Pterano were to make a future appearance, he would need a new voice actor.

 I can't see him being voiced by Michael York, because of the health issues that he's had for the past couple of years. He doesn't have the same power and strength in his voice for Pterano as he did during "The Stone Of Cold Fire". Pterano would need a new voice actor if he were to make a future appearance.

Now, Michael York *is* still alive and going, and still does interviews, but he doesn't have the same full power and strength in his voice for Pterano because of the health issues he's had recently.

If you needed a new/recent video of Michael York and what he looks and sounds like today, he is on the left in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuuLSsLYna4

Also, here he was in 2013 speaking about the amyloidosis:

He then had a successful blood stem cell transplant in July 2013 to treat his condition.

Also, here's a time comparison of Michael York. Then, and now.

November 2000. 58 years old. 1 month before "The Stone Of Cold Fire" was released: http://img.spokeo.com/public/900-600/micha..._2000_11_14.jpg

January 2005 at 62 years old: http://img.spokeo.com/public/900-600/micha..._2005_01_13.jpg

November 2010 at 68 years old. 10 years after "The Stone Of Cold Fire".  Here it *really* looked like he was having an issue with the skin area around his eyes: http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Michael...jZxUWe6B5Fl.jpg

April 2011 at 69 years old. He had lost the neatness of his hair and started wearing sunglasses to lessen the appearance of the skin discoloration around his eyes: http://img.spokeo.com/public/900-600/micha..._2011_04_26.jpg

2013 at 71 years old. The article this picture comes from says " Doctors initially diagnosed York with bone cancer before discovering he actually has amyloidosis, a blood disorder that breaks down tissues and leaves abnormal deposits in the body."  http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynami...0x/395731_1.jpg

January 2014: http://static7.imagecollect.com/preview/560/b73073d8b133b53

And another from last year. 2014.  Notice that he's wearing glasses with clear lenses again: http://www.yourcanterbury.co.uk/polopoly_f...e_630/image.jpg

Michael York has been recovering, but if Pterano were to return in a future movie, he would need a new voice actor. You know that I love Pterano, and I would love to see him again, but I don't expect to see him in the upcoming 14th movie, though.

I got in the rather nice haul this year.

Bonus Gift: This is quite possibly the best non-family gift I've ever received, but I've also been invited to the hiring fam of a MAJOR tour operator in January! I quite literally made the 1% of applicants who get invited to this part (out of 2,000 applicants), so I am thrilled, humbled, and just amazed that I managed to make it this far in their process!

Wow, Cal! You had quite a haul of Christmas presents, and even better, some *very* good luck in your job hunt, Plus a mystery present ahead from your dad. You have every right to be happy and excited!

I'm happy for you. I'm glad you had a great Christmas.

Yes, but I don't think he's a nice character. I think he's a villain.

Yes, he was a villain. But, this is just something i've imagined him to possibly be (behavior-wise) after "the stone of cold fire".

It's the exact date today. December 13th, 2014!  

Happy 20th anniversary to The Great Valley Adventure, Chomper, Ozzy, and Strut!

As of today, the first LBT sequel has officially turned 20 years old.

Here's a picture of a copy of the original 1994 VHS edition for a look into the time capsule: http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/2811...1/1000x1000.jpg

(I wasn't ready to let go fully.)  Today, I bought movies 2-9 brand new on dvd for just $20 on 2 "4 movie family fun" dvd packs. That's 8 movies on 4 discs in 2 cases. It's a new 2014 dvd edition, too.

Here's what the cases look like, by the way.

2-5: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91tI...iUL._SY606_.jpg

and 6-9: http://www.nbcuniversalstore.com/imgcache/...cuniversalstore

So, I now own movies 2-9 again. and all on just 4 discs in 2 cases, brand new at a low price, too. This saved a lot of space in my dvd bag in my closet than what I had before. They also still have copies of 10 and 12 at the music/movie store at the mall, too in case I want to get those again in the future.

lonedinosaur27: :blink:   Wow! you got to talk to Aria herself? That is AMAZING! I'm very happy you were able to!

By the way, it's been 7 years since the last Land Before Time movie, "The Wisdom of Friends", which was released on November 27, 2007. Exactly 7 years ago to the date of this post, in fact.

This thread *really* gives us some future food for thought, anyway.

^I guess you misunderstood Kor there, Jared. Kor's only concerned about him (TFS) regretting selling his stuff. He could always revive his interest in LBT after all...
The other thing Kor said is that people could still visit from time to time despite their interest in LBT being not as strong as it used to be. There's enough non-LBT stuff to do on here after all and lots of friendships to be kept in.

Nevertheless, you have a point there, Jared. You don't have to possess any merchandise to be a LBT fan. Otherwise I should maybe leave this site for I own NOTHING besides the movies.

No, I was just making a point. You don't have to own any LBT merchandise in order to be a fan.

I had to share this with you.

I happened to find in a search, a wedding cake topper of a pteranodon couple. It's the first i've found of it's kind, and didn't even know it existed. Their colored bellies are in the shape of hearts, too.

I've found 4 up close pictures of it:

I really liked this, and thought it was a cool find.
