I agree with Kor. I think Universal took too much of an advantage over the success of the first movie that they started dishing out sequel after sequel without giving much thought to the plot ideas, so I guess this is a relief to those who have been a fan of the series for the longest time.

In my opinion, some of the movies could have been made episodes for the tv series. For example, LBT VI, XI, XII, and XIII seemed like movies where the plot was more suited for the TV series instead of full scale movies. LBT VIII and X were in my opinion the only two movies after LBT V that had really strong plot ideas, and they could have been expressed much better if they were made much earlier. Again, this is my opinion, but I think the movies should have been organized like this:

LBT 1

LBT 2

LBT 3

LBT 4

LBT 10

LBT 8

LBT 5

LBT 7

And then the other movies could have been tied into TV episodes.

As for the next movie, Universal should definitely take some time to come up with a really strong plot, but not too long so that all the fans start crying thinking LBT is dead.

Maybe they are doing just that.  Hopefully they will have a skilled and experienced scriptwriter work on the script of the next movie and preferably someone who is experienced in the genre.

I do hope they are just cleaning house and getting qualified folks in there to help rev up the series again :yes.

The time of it might also depend on the storyboard, animations, musics etc, that they are doing to LBT 14, they may have new ideas they will try to add.
(probably) They will finish it next year.


...Or maibe they will "gift" us with a movie and a new brand season...in a millions years :lol , but there are always chances of that happening.

It takes longer to make an animated, or live action, movie then most would likely think it does.  They likely won't announce it till it's finished, I would guess.

Take for example DarkHouounmons fanfic...that to me is completely plausible idea for a movie.

As much as I would love to see Out of the Shadows as a movie, it's not happening. Yes, that fan fiction is VERY well written, but the movie that would be based on it would carry a PG-13 rating at least, possibly even an R.

My ultimate wish would be movie versions of these Land Before Time fan fics: Out of the Shadows (Rated R), Land Before Time: Twilight Valley (Rated PG-13), Star Wars: The Land Before Time: A Jedi's Destiny (rated PG-13), Land Before Time: War of the Worlds(Rated PG-13), Time Gate X(Rated R), Land Before Time: The Mysterious World(Rated PG)

Even though 3 of the listed stories are pure (no humans), I'm not sure I'll ever see a movie version. And 2 that are not quite pure LBT(have humans) and 1 crossover.

The crossover ain't happening as a movie. However, Time Gate X and The Mysterious World do have a chance to become movies but the chance is EXTREMELY low.

Yeah, I know the chance of a dark, gritty, violent, SF influenced and/or post-apocalyptic Land Before Time movie coming out is almost nonexistant.

Yeah my next two fanfic's if they were made into movies they would most likely have those ratings. My current one if made into a movie would have at most a PG rating.

That seems to be the only supernatural element in lbt is the fact that someone recently dead can talk to at least 1 of the living.   Otherwise no magic or anything and the dead talking to the living can be taken as a very rare thing since it's not done in any of the sequels or tv episodes after that.
Rainbowfaces come to mind... actually

I took them to be either et's adopting a form of a local species to observe the locals by traveling around as one of them for a while, or some actual dinos from some advanced civilization come to observe some more primitive locals, either from the same world or another one.  So nothing supernatural on their part.

Hey, George Lucas produced the original Lad Before Time, and he owns Star Wars. Maybe if I could get him to pull some strings...

I agree with you, though. All of those fics would be awesome movies.

Imagine if 1 or both producers were involved in another LBT movie.

Sorry, but I can't stomach an LBT sequel having a rating beyond PG.  Talk about deviating from the outline of the series.  Sure, more suspense is needed but no killing off of any of the original LBT cast, even if they were to come back to life.

If I had to choose between no further episodes and LBT episodes of the crossing over genre including such non-LBT-elements as can be found in the majority of fanfictions I suppose I would rather have non; though I admit it would be a difficult judgment to deliver :unsure:

There hasn't been any word of LBT 14 yet. Well I'll say one thing though, Our Little Friend wikipedia.org has LBT 14 back up again and it's has 2009 being the release date. First off I don't know who put that there and I haven't been on the LBT article for a while so no one may never know how long it's been there. Another thing is hope that the info there is true. Until then I'll be watching and waiting to see what happens.

Now that I would pay to see. Both original creators working on the story again, it almost sounds like bliss.

Did you look in the article called TLBT(series)? Cause I can see it perfectly.
