I would be very surprised if this has already been decided.  If I had to guess, I would think it would be a new, original piece of music similar in style to "Peaceful Valley" from LBT 2.  I could be way off, however.

My second guess would be a variation of "If We Hold On Together" sung by either the cast, or an unrelated kid's choir.

My third guess would be a completely new LBT-style song that we haven't heard before.

I just hope they don't shift towards the style of music used in LBT 11.  The music in the DVD menu of LBT 11 seemed so out-of-place for an LBT movie.

as much as i love rock i have to agree with you when i saw the movie i felt something wasent right so i had to rewind the scene 3 times to find the offset and as you said the rock although its a older1950's-80'sversion of the music it still didnt work.

but i still go with the original if we hold on together theme best

I'm not sure the original version of "If We Hold On Together" (or even the version sung by Littlefoot and Ducky) would be especially appropriate or likely.  How many cartoons / children's shows do you know with slow, sappy (not meaning the word in a negative connotation) music as an opening theme?  

I expect it will be something upbeat.  If they do use the "If We Hold Together" theme music, I suspect they will remake it in a more upbeat form.

well thats what i was supposed to meen but i just think sence that the song is only used once in the film(although used instrumently)it should be used for the series but as a more uptodate version while staying true to the original soundtrack but also not letting it fall in the hands of rock or teckno but as a more as you said upbeat form

I agree.  I would love to see an updated version of the LBT soundtrack from the earlier, or even later LBT films.

yes but try not to have it torn to shredds while updating it some companys would sometimes do to much to the song and to them its good just until the costumer hears it also the song was the best in the lbt franchise and is still used instrumently.

Yeah.  Have you checked out our gang of five version of "If We Hold on Together"?  I composed the music for it (well, sort of.  I recreated parts of the original by ear and enhanced it with my own special touches :p), and a few of us will be adding our voices to it shortly.  check it out on my lyrics page, shown in my sig.

That's my idea of remaking a good song B)
Oh, my apologies for the slow download speed :blink: I didn't have the space anywhere else, to host the file, and this server is painfully slow (but free, and no ads!)

You may want to save it to your hard drive, then play it once it's completely downloaded.  Your call

ya that i already thought of  :^.^: but as i was saying earlier it would be best to use the if we hold on together song as a starting credit song of corse and probly use peacefull valley as the intsumental in show theme as well as a ending theme

I'm going to end the night with "I don't know what they're going to do."

I suspect they'll use a similar technique as the films, for the music during the shows.  The music at the ending credits I suspect will be an instrumental variation of "If We Hold On Together" similar to LBT 4 or a number of other LBT films.

The opening music could be a number of things, but I suspect it will be something somewhat upbeat.

Goodnight, I have a lot of homework, it's already 10:10 pm here, and I still have to have a shower. :P:

With the many cartoon shows I've watched these days, (I mainly get to watch them on Saturday Morning.) chances are that it's NOT going to be "If We Hold On Together."

Sorry to bring you down like this, but "If We Hold On Together" works so well with the slow, sappy music that any other kind would possibly kill it. :D

When picking an opening theme, you've got to pick a song that will attract the audience.  The one you pick can mean the difference between attracting one million viewers or just one right at the start.  Pick the wrong one, and it's over before the show even begins.

Upbeat songs do indeed work the best.  They just seem to have the element to MAKE one watch something.  Almost like getting hypnotised. :blink: (Okay, that's a scary thought.) -_-

I think that they'll go for something fresh and new.  Those always seem to attract the audience the most.

If things go well, the LBT TV series opening theme could possibly be the best thing they ever make.

I can't know, but I consider it very likely that the theme of "If we hold on together" and the variations we heard during the series are going to be used in the TV series too. If we hold on together is strongly associated with LBT and so are many of the beautiful melodies of Michael Tavera. I don't know whether they will addopt the very same themes for the series but I consider it most unlikely that they should pay a lot of money for a new and possibly very different type of music.

Some form of 'If We hold on together' will probably be used. Perhaps new music for the ending credits though.
Winner of these:

I agree with you there. It wasn't that it was a crappy tune or anything, it just sounded like it belonged in a whole other cartoon.

Hmmm I've never even thought about what the theme music will be for the TV-series! I'm guessing they will most likely create a brand new one from scratch, or maybe sort of remix one of the current ones. "Peaceful Valley" would work nicely in my opinion. :P:

I imagine they could use "If We Hold on Together" but it just seems too slow for an opening theme. Unless they somehow made a faster, more upbeat version of it :lol:

Oh, they'll use something faster....all the stuff that catches kids attention these days have fast melodies to start off.
