I don't know if their is a topic for this, but does everyone thinktheir will be a season two for the Land Before Time? P.s. feel free to talk about what else should be in season two and what story lines should be in it.
-
I'm not sure, but I do hope that there is a season 2 for the TV series...that would be great! But they need to go into detail as well....
-
I also hope there will be a Season 2, the first season was OK in my opinion, and i sure do look forward to seeing another Season in the future. :lol:
-
I'm sure there are many here who await news if there will be a season 2, but I"ve no idea when we may hear such news one way or the other. I'd find it hard to decide between a season 2 or more movies. One is more episodes so is overall longer, but a movie is a longer story and may be high quality. Both would be best, with different teams working on each, not counting the voice actors.
-
sounds cool! :yes i hope then you'll see the childhood memories of the parents or something
-
That would be interesting. We've seen bits of Grandpa Longneck's past in The Legend of the Story Speaker.
-
That would be an interesting episode... the parent's stories... how things came to be for each of them... we could see Littlefoot's grandparents raising their daughter (Littlefoot's mother), we could see Petrie's mother and Pterano when they were young, and we might be able to see what happened to Topsy and his first wife (I guess she is dead.)
-
Yeah, I'd really like to see Pterano's past or even a return to the Valley. I hope there is a second season!!!
-
At least until it is confirmed there will be a season 2, I think it would be entertaining if we think of ides for possible episodes.
Here's one idea I recently came up with. Cera decides to play a joke on Petrie by telling him that the sky is going to fall (who could forget that classic childhood joke). When Petrie tells Chomper, Ducky, and Spike about it, all four of them believe it, so they decide to seek shelter.
I find this idea quite amusing.
-
If Pterano were to return the kids would have to be in their early teens, an unlikely thing based on the 13 movies with them not aging. Though it would be interesting to see if he had learned and would be good, or he had had fallen back into his old ways of thinking.
As for seeing littlefoot's mother when she was younger there is a brief scene during Grandpa Longneck singing remembering where a young longneck slides down a grown one into some water. The resolution is to low so I can't tell if one of the adults or both are littlefoot's grandparents with their daughter or not, but it is possible.
Though it would be interesting to see some of the parents of the kids when they were young. We've seen a very brief glimpse of Mr. Thicknose as a kid in the 8th movie.
-
Yeah, I'd really like to see Pterano's past or even a return to the Valley. I hope there is a second season!!!
You have no idea how much I agree with you :D
-
I really sure hope that a season 2 will be made.
Since i do wonder maybe a bit of revealling about Cera's family line, since of the dinah and dana thing.
-

Yeah, I would like to find out more about Cera's missing relatives. Her mother and sisters most likely died, so this would make room for a more bittersweet ep. They should even have a scene where Littlefoot and Cera talk to each other(and perhaps sing) about their late mothers. I'm certain this is one more reason those two seem to be closer to each other than to any of the others :yes.
-
I agree that the coming up of Tria probably killed Cera's mother (figuratively speaking) as I don't expect they would come up with a children story which has Cera's mother arrive in the Great Valley to find Tops and Tria. But I agree that it would have been really interesting and sensible if they had come up with some explanation about her before they let Tria enter the scene.

True, if (and only IF) a return of Pterano necessarily meant the passing of five cold times. They could make a movie in which they run into Pterano in the Mysterious Beyond where he might be able to help them / save them potentially shortening his ban. Or Pterano could try to make a return before the end of the ban (e.g. sneaking into the Great Valley at night because he wants to see his relatives). Of course there is also the option of a story in which Pterano resumes his "evil ways" rather than earning his remission.
However, another Pterano story might be difficult to fit into a 20 minutes episode. One could make a whole sequel with this as a central part of the plot.

Nice idea :yes
Knowing the infinite gullibility of many Great Valley inhabitants this joke could easily cause quite a frenzy if the word spreads :lol

You know it could be a one hour special on an episode like that.
-
a one hour special?
-
I don't suppose they would vary the length of individual episodes (if there ever is to be a 2nd season), but in some other TV series they let one plot cover two or three or more episodes when one was not sufficient for a plot. I guess the same might work out for the land before time if ever such a question was debated.
-
I have a few theories of what happened in some of the missing areas, but we really can't be certian, even though a few of mine are plausible.
One theory at hand is Cera's mom and a few others not surviving the journey during LBT 5. I'd imagine that not all of the Great Valley residents survived through LBT 5 for a safe return home. I wouldn't be surprised if a number of them died due to either starvation, dehydration or get eaten by a sharptooth.
A part of this theory also seems to fit in Dinah and Dana strangely enough. I also happen to have the theory that one of Cera's older sisters that we don't know anything about was impregnated during the journey and as such, produced the eggs containing Dinah and Dana probably either when they were staying at that place where they found some fresh water and green food or not long after they return at the end of LBT 5. I'd guess the latter based on the fact that those two would have a better chance of survival and would less than likely be able to make the very long trek. Why we never saw their mother, who is supposedly one of Cera's much older sisters, I have yet to work out. Might take me a little time to finish up the whole theory.
In fact, my theory ties in with my current LBT story when I plan to bring in Dinah and Dana, so I'm hoping for it to be true. I just might have some of the closest possible theories around. :P:
Here's hoping they appear in the possible season 2. :)
-
I don't watch many modern cartoons but I'd guess they were moving away from multi part episodes. Though some plots could be better done then doing everything in 1 episode.
-
I personally hope there's no second season. If they just spent more time and effort on the plot themes, they could have made some of the TV eps good movies.
-
If they do have a second season then they'd better have Ali show up again. the episode she first appeared in was disappointing. They have to atone for that..If Rhete appears in it, then so be it, but I personally don't care either way if he appears in it or not..
-
I personally hope there's no second season. If they just spent more time and effort on the plot themes, they could have made some of the TV eps good movies.
I guess that depends on the story they can come up with. I suppose there are stories which cannot be told in an episode as they are too long and too "epic" in nature. On the other hand there are plots which are a bit shorter (which doesn't make them bad) and would appear quite good in a TV episode while a sequel length movie would "stretch" them so far that we would be left with a feeling that there was too little going on in that movie.
-
True, thought in season 1 there were about 3 or 4 episodes which I thought could have been a pretty decent movie if combined. While made very good 25 minute episodes.
-
Hmmm, i don't want 2 season of LBT serial very much. I want new cartoon film better. But if Universal do 14 film and 2 season of serial at the same time then i am agree with 2 season :)
-
I would prefer the multireel cartoon too. But, the second season of the LBT series looks pretty promising in some ways.
-
After some search and with the help of pokeplayer I rediscovered his message on the first page of this thread ;)
I find this theory of yours, which places the demise of Cera's mother and her sister into the 5th movie quite interesting. Of course one might argue that it would have been to important an event to be left unmentioned (perhaps with special regard to the song Always There), but I suppose that if they can let her "disappear" without losing a word about it, they are just as capable of letting her die without pointing out that fact.
The presence of Dinah and Dana in LBT 6 might be explained that way (though not their entirely different looks from Cera), as well as the presence of a character who seemed to be Cera's mother in LBT 2 and the presence of a half-grown threehorn beside Cera's Dad in LBT 4.
However, LBT 3 doesn't fit into the scheme. If Cera's mother or any of her sisters had been around in LBT 3 I don't see how Cera's father could possibly care about her, but not about any of the others at all. I'm afraid here we cannot explain their absence with the lack of care that would have let them leave a possible death of Cera's mother in LBT 5 unmentioned.
In any case I would seem very, very plausible to think that not all of the Great Valley Dinosaurs survived the journey in LBT 5, even though they wouldn't point that fact out too clearly in the movie and stop at showing the skeleton of "some other duckbill" only.
(We may have to split this topic if this really interesting discussion is to continue)
-
Attempting to fit in explanations can fill some holes but not all the holes unfortunately. Part of the main reason is no one person or central theme working on and looking over all the movies to make sure things like this does not happen. With changing people and teams some have a different view of LBt then those before, perhaps part of the explanation of why certain movies have a different feel then others.
As for having a hard time finding this thread, it may happen more often as more and more members come here. It may become necessary to make as special bookmark section to bookmark certain threads that one wants to keep an eye on to respond to since they are ones that one finds the most interesting. One of the drawbacks of having lots of members and being popular. Though there are many advantages also.
-
but there is a chance that there will be a second season because in the credits of the tv series there are some screens which sound's unfamiliar to me,
if you don't understand me because my bad grammar,
just watch the end credits of one of the episodes and you'll see, :^.^:
-
Those screens may be from scenes that were not used in the episodes, or they may have been created for the credits in particular. It is very unlikely that they would have screenshots from a second season already but not announce it at all. I don't think Aria knew anything about another series, but it is a long, long time ago that she said it.
-
I'd guess she'd not be contacted till they had done work on having finished some scripts so they would then need voice actors since here I think they usually do the voice recording before the animation, unlike in anime where I think the animation is done first.
-
Well, I Personally hope that a second season is made, as well the 14 movie
-
your not the only one!
also note my 1000'st post! hurray! :yes :birthday :!
-
It would be nice, but I guess we all have to wait and see what happens.
-
I hope there will be a season 2, i thought the first series was good.
-
I guess most here would also, but there is no word or news if there will be one. Not that I've heard anyway.
-
I liked the first season, so I'm hoping for a second.
-
I just don't get why Universal has to be such a pain and make us wait so long for any news about anything coming out! It's so annoying! I want to hear something about the next possible movie or tv series now before I go insane and start eating my computer :anger :anger :anger :anger
-
They may not think much of their customers. They may also not think anyone needs to know anything till just before the produce is about to come out.
-
I wouldn't mind if they only had sewuels from now on too much, as long as they have Ruby and Chomper in them. :DD
-
It would be nice. I guess they may likely do just movies. Though if they do just movies I wonder if they'll put those 2 into a movie or will leave them as just tv series only.
-
Maybe Ali and Guido will become main characters.
-
That would be an interesting thought, although that's even IF there is to be a second season, however I doubt Ali would become one of the main characters again...Guido...maybe, put even still that's would be up in the air for a while (no pun intended :lol )
-
Why think Guido?
-
If there were I doubt that would happen, though it could be interesting to see what Guido may be like as a main character. I guess they'd have him and certain others be a guest character in 1 episode each like in season 1. Though since he lives in the valley he should be in more then just 1 episode.
-
Well, seven is already a pretty large number for a main character group. When a show was made called the Chan Clan, I believe it had about twelve characters. It was harder making a scene where twelve different characters had different opinions and different ways of doing things, so most scenes used a different amount of characters. For example, during an episode, most scenes spilt the group into teams, like a set of two, three, three, and four. Any more than seven characters will make things a good deal harder on the writers, I think. Look at all the Digimon series. How many episodes had every character in the same place at the same time? Being split into small teams or going solo for a while was used during almost every episode of each of the five seasons. Even some LBT episodes had the gang split up for a majority of the main parts or didn't show them at all to make it easier to write, like:
Canyon of the Shiny Stones- Littlefoot, Petrie, and Chomper in one place during most of the episode, and the others were elsewhere.
The Mysterious Tooth Crisis- Ruby, Cera, and Spike in one place during most of the episode, and the others were elsewhere.
Days of Rising Waters- If I recall correctly, Littlefoot, Petrie, and Chomper made up the only gang appearances the whole time.
With more charcters, split ups like this will probably be much more frequent. The more characters a show has, the more complicated it is to make sure that each one has some part in it. Although sometimes, large numbers can result in characters not showing up at all, like Days of Rising Waters. We all have seen some problems with the episodes. If they have even more work to do, like including more characters that will be around the whole season, I expect to see even more errors.
Don't misunderstand me though. I would love more main characters, but if so, episodes might be about certain ones and/or certain episodes would have many parts where the gang members would be in separate places most of the episode. I had an idea for a new gang member that I already posted in the Characters You Wish They Brought Back topic, but after looking over my post there, even I saw how ridiculous of an idea that was. But now that I'm thinking a bit more realistically, if it works out, new members I'd like to see are: Ali for one, so that there can be some romantic scenes and even episodes with her and Littlefoot. Perhaps a young rainbow face sent to live with the gang for further study, but with little or no power, or not very knowledgable on how to use it, or it was sealed to avoid suspicion if he or she ever wanted to use it in public. And of course, the rule this character would have is not to reveal secrets of the world, but maybe a few times he or she blurts out of couple things for interesting reactions. (Then again, this last suggestion isn't realistic at all either, is it? Well I tried. This is more likely than my idea in the new character idea topic at least. I think it is anyway.) I like Mo, but the water would restict him too much. Any Mysterious Beyond visits would either be rare or not possible. A tinysaurus or two would make a nice edition, I believe. Although since they all have such interesting personalities, I couldn't decide between them all to pick out just one or two of them. And those are my suggestions for new gang members if that will happen. I hope that some of these could possibly work out. Later!
-
One idea I had and mentioned before that would have worked, is to have say Guido as part of the gang, but do it like the did in the episodes I saw of the Justice League cartoon where not all of the gang members would be in every episode. Each episode would have 1-2 of them not in the episode. Some of them could be mentioned as being with Tria at the mud pit, Ducky & spike are doing family stuff with their family today, same with Petrie, Cera, ect. So you don't have all 6 or 8 or 9 members in every episode, but have say 4-5 at a time.
-
That could work
-
If so, who would you like to see added as a main character in season two? I'd like to say Guido. :idea I think Pterano will be a recurring character.
-
Is all this speculation or is there going to be an actual second season?
-
Speculation.
-
Yes, speculation since as far as I know there's been no actual word if there will be a season 2 or not.
-
We can only hope.
-
Who do you think sehould be added in as a main character?
-
No one. I'd rather have them remove Ruby & Chomper again. It doesn't feel thesame.
-
No one. I'd rather have them remove Ruby & Chomper again. It doesn't feel thesame.
I agree, but then I'm also the one who felt LBT hasn't felt the same since LBT 4 and it's been really odd ever since LBT 11. :p
-
No one. I'd rather have them remove Ruby & Chomper again. It doesn't feel thesame.
Meh.. I always felt they were welcome additions to the series... To be honest, I felt I could really relate with Ruby in some aspects... I dunno how I'd feel either way, but if too many characters get added, it does have a shallower feel to it, I'll agree there... But hey, LBT is LBT to me. I know that most of ya can't roll with that, but I'm a weirdo... :D
-
My suggestion is Guido.
-
What do you think are the chances of Guido being a main character?
-
Not to high, but it would be nice. Maybe at least in episodes where Petrie is doing stuff with his family or another gang member is absent.
-
Guido would be neat, but I doubt it.
-
I think the chances will be high.
-
I'm not sure personally.
-
Might be a chance of having a season two, but I don't think any character will be added to the main gang, it would get too much, really.
-
If there is a season 2 I guess it would be like season 1.
-
In my honest opinion,I would work on the movies instead of another season. I think the movies may be losing some of their calibur towards the later sequels. I mean, the plot of the 13th movie was just so awkward. On top of that, the adults played a dismal role in it. I think Universal should take the time to really focus on a great plot for the 14th movie and make it shine.
-
That would be nice, get a good writer and director and do a movie as best as they can instead of saying, we'll just churn out something to try to get as much money as we can.
-
I did email Universal Studios.
-
Recently? I wonder if they'll reply or send a stock reply instead.

Amen to that! Focus on some wicked awesome story lines and give us more LBT :idea.
-
No news on season two yet.
-
They didn't reply, or haven't decided yet?
-
:o Hey guys I seen a Title of the suppose to be Season 2 called "Separation of the Mysterious Beyond" and the date was the 20th of March 2008 but I believe it was meant for 2009. What do you guys think?
-
Also: "The Sky Fire Promise" I'm starting to think Season 2 is becoming a Reality.
-
Where did you find that information Neo?
-
If it's Wikipedia, it is 99.9% likely to be a crock <_<.
-
If it's Wikipedia, it is 99.9% likely to be a crock <_<.
Thats why I asked indeed.
-
"The Sky Fire Promise" is definitely a hoax. There have been claims of this and similar titles (alluding to a meteor impact) for years. I think similar titles were brought up at N54 with the claim of it being the title of the next movie before the GOF ever existed. Allusion to a fatal meteor impact or very explicit sexual references seem to be the most popular "title topics" among certain people.
Wikipedia is not mere rubbish and most of the information there is better than it's reputation (which doesn't change the fact that it is for good reason that it mustn't be quoted in scientific discourse), but there are some topics where fake information is far more likely to occur than in case of other topics.
You stand a good chance to find reliable information on subjects where no agitators, politically motivated people, zealots, or fans are likely to post opinions, wishful thinking, or outright lies as facts. LBT however is one of the subjects where fans and bashers almost seem to take turns in posting whatever comes to their minds.
-
It's not on Wikipedia. I just checked, so...what is the source of this information?
-
I think 2008 is mistyped and it is supposed to be 2009 for the episode.
-
I found that information on a different site I Googled The Land Before Time Season 2 and one name title was show on one of the Description under the link.
-
If I google I find nothing. But that doesn't say a lot since I'm using Dutch google.
-
I saw it too on imb.com or something
-
I've searched a few things on google and I'd have to say that the results were... *cough*interesting*cough*.
Things like "Let Don Bluth alone" and "Stop ruining up a great film".
-
I believe there will be a season two.
-

That brought a smile on my face :lol
-
What does that men?
-
Ehm that certain people do not wish for the TV-series to continue and actually wish they never had been made... I think :unsure:
-
That was rude.
-
That was rude.
You think that was rude?
I agree with them.
-
That was rude.
I'm not quite following. :p
What was rude? :p
-
I think she was stating her opinion and not trying to be rude. I, too, don't get what was so rude about that post :blink: :huh:. Although I don't agree with the quotes Mumbling quoted as they seem to attack the entire series and not just the TV series, I feel the focus should've been and should be on more sequels than a TV series. I mean, look at the brevity of the episodes. They could take several episodes and make them into one sequel. That would be a more sensible marketable strategy. C'mon now, besides the little tikes who are still wearing Pull-Ups and slurping down Gerber chow, who else is home at nine in the morning to view the episodes? All the other kids are in school. I had read that the series now appeals to the tween population. Tweens= junior high age. If nobody's home to watch the series, how the blazes does Universal expect ratings to go up :bang?! As I've said all along, folks at Universal need to get their tails back in gear and focus on improved storylines for future sequels, not a TV series even elementary age kids don't have time to view in the morning. But, that would be thinking, wouldn't it :slap?
-
I bet many kids watch Land Before Time in the summer.

Yeah knowing that your in school during the day and the episodes are passing right by, nothing is moving up.

Indeed! Never seen so much truth in one post! Eheh.
But yeah, the results I found were related not just to the seies, but to the movies themselves. I found a topic in Gaia.com about it, stating Jurassic Park would be the Land before Time XVII or something. ._.
Its interesting, though, how companies see complaints and all and don't actually act.

No offense to the movies meant. I do like those.
-
What about Season 2?
-
No hint so far whether or not there ever will be a Season 2.
-
YA THINK?
-
I believe there was no any true sings of upcoming second season so far. Just a couple of fakes on wikipedia.
-
Do you hope there will be a season 2?
-
Sure do IF (and only if) it is done well.
Personally I was (unlike many others) reasonably satisfied with the first season. There is room for improvement and I am very supportive to suggestions such as a plot stretching over several episodes. In any case I think there is a lot of potential and content left for more stories.
Something really good can still be made, but there is also a chance for this chance to be really messed up if the producers are getting careless.
-
The movies can be for longer stories and a series could be for shorter stories. A second season could be better then the first if they got good writers.
-
Is season two appears, what characters do you think might appear in the first episode of the second season?
-
Maybe Ali, she's pretty popular. Or some unanswered questions about Chomper or Ruby could be answered.
-
I would like to see Guido as a part of the gang.
-
That would be interesting. Maybe Ali in a few episodes also. She could have a few adventures with the gang during the week or few days her herd visits the valley.
-
I know, i never really liked the idea, of Ali being a permanent part of the gang. The reason? Because they already have a longneck in their team. :)
-
I didn't mean a permanent member, just over a few episodes, if her herd is there for a few days or a week, no reason the gang may not have several adventures over those days, same with Shorty and maybe Tippy. I'd have Guido be a member of the gang, have the bullies appear more, like Mr. Thicknose. In some episodes as just 1 scene and that is it. Have Pat appear here and there, and some other characters who should be in the valley but have not been seen from in a long time.
and as I mentioned before, have not all of the gang in every episode, though I've mentioned the idea a lot before and everyone is likely bored of hearing me mention it.
-
I'd like to see Guido as a member as well. He is very popular.
-
I'm all in for season 2.
-
Whos's with me?
-
It could have some interesting episodes indeed.
-
As I said before, if it is done well I certainly wouldn't object to a second season. Nor do I think anyone else here would under the said precondition.
-
Does anybody think Guido will soon be a main character?
-
Considering that they have 7 main characters already, it may not happen. They would have to make longer episodes if they would want to add another permanent gang member. In my opinion Guido may only show up from time to time as guest character. Assuming there will be a second season of course.
-
On Top of all of that, the Economy may or already is taking effect on the LBT Season 2 Productions
-
In English, please?
-
In English, please?
Simply saying that where the Economy is bad its probably giving Universal some problems to continue making episodes or movies of LBT ( :rolleyes: but I can be wrong on that).
-
I think I was once told (not a 100% certain though) that LBT 13 was the first ever LBT sequel that did not gross even the production costs; so they would have made red numbers with it. If there is one dead certain way to kill of a movie, or at the very least (hope dies last) send it on a looooong break it is red numbers. I don't know anything about the economic success of the series though.
Another point that ought not to be thoroughly ignored when it comes to economy though is the money they make from all the fan articles on the market. I don't have any figures though and don't know how they could be obtained.
(speaking of fan articles, Ruby plushs have been sold at ebay for a $100 and more. Of course it would be a very small minority with the means and enthusiasm to pay such sums for fan articles.)
-
What do you mean by red numbers?
-
As in loosing money. For example if a movie cost 80 million to produce, but only brought in 50 million then it's in the red, it lost money.
-
Or they're just on hiatus.
-
I doubt there will be a second season, sibnce it has been over a year since the first season aired...
-
True, but one can hope. And hope for more movies too.
-
Kor's right.
-
There is an image in the "Caption This" section that is making me wonder if Universal "accidentally" gave us a hint to a second season and/or future sequels. In the shot, Cera has her two brow horns finally :huh:. I could understand a blooper such as the one in "The Great Logrolling Game", where Cera was in place of Spike, but something like this? I dunno, it's just thinking...wishful thinking :lol.
-
I think that picture is from "Escape From The Mysterious Beyond".
-
Does anyone agrre? I also want to see season 2.
-
I'm sure most here would like that, or even more a 14th movie.
-
Any poof of Season 2 yet?
-
Dont think so. Not that I've heard anyway.
-
With all the baseless rumors that had been posted already, I guess we can all rest assured that if anybody here found the tiniest indication of any official information on whether or not there may be a 2nd season, it would be posted here right away.
While nothing is posted here, we can take it for granted that nobody knows anything new.
-
What do you think the first episode of season two will be called?
-
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here: we cannot assume that there will even BE a season 2...
-
I'm saying if there is.
-
Could be anything, depending on what they're gonna do and what characters are in it.
-
If tere's something I'd like to see in the second season, that thing'd be a storyline. Like, what happens in an episode has an influence n the next, no matter small.
-

Same here.
-
That could be interesting. I wonder what type they would do. Or maybe not just 1 plot for an entire season, it could be several. Plot 1 leads into plot 2, into 3, ect.
-
They really didn't have much of a coherent storyline in season 1. How did Redclaw become the "bad guy" ? etc..
-
They really didn't have much of a coherent storyline in season 1. How did Redclaw become the "bad guy" ? etc..
Mostly, they had a "pre-plot" in the first season. They had the events previous to the series - and not very coherent - but they didn't have a storyline throughout the episodes.
-
Wouldn't the fourteenth movie be a pre-plot?
-
Come on, it is rather tricky to make prognoses on a movie of which we don't even know whether or not it will ever be produced.
-
They can't stop now there are some characters that are newly introduced and they haven't made there appearance in the Series yet, plus they need more Screen Time. And for Movie 14...:yes its possible for them to make the movie we just need to find out when it will be release.
-
I guess time well tell. They've taken brakes before.
-
It's true.
-
I hope a season 2 comes out after all the land before time series DVDs come out
-
True.
-
I bet they're just taking a break.
-
They've done it before, maybe they are now.
-
That would be nice. I miss looking forward to new releases :cry
-
How often, though does a break last more than a year?
-
Has there been a break of more then a year before?
On James bond movies I think they have done more then a year. and I read on digimon they had a break of 3 years at one point.
-
I guess sometimes often.
-
Between the first and the second movie there was more than a year, wasnt it?
-
Thta's right.
-
There have been gaps before.
Between the 1st and 2nd movie there was about 6 years. 6th and 7th was about 2 years, the 10th and 11th was about 2 years.
Plus in 1 year, 2007, they put out both the 13th movie and the tv series, quite a bit for 1 year. So they may be taking a break or something.
___________
I've copied below the listings of when the movies came out for comparison.
1 The Land Before Time (1988)
2 The Land Before Time II: The Great Valley Adventure (1994)

LBT 10 (2003)
LBT 11 (2004)
LBT 12 (2006)
LBT 13 (2007)
Now I don't want to strip you of your hope. But I think some of you take some things too much for granted and might be harshly disappointed if what you take for granted turned out to be not as much of a matter of course as you seem to think.
-
You're welcome. Hope it helps a little.
-
I don't believe we're taking things for granted Malte, just trying to find more reasons to hope beyond hope that more sequels will be made, when it is very likely that there will not :p
Thanks for the reality check though, haha.
-
Or is it unlikely? <_<
-
I asked that question in sarcasism.
-
Some issues they probably have are causing delays. But I believe later in this year or 2010 they should have season 2 up.
-
I wonder what sort of issues.
-
I wonder what sort of issues.
I want to know that myself.
-
Maybe money, rights, licensing, or other issues too maybe, or maybe none of these but others.
-

Like studios closing? :p That would cause a rather long delay indeed. Let's hope it's less severe than that but that's the extent of what we know.
-
We can only wait and see.
-
We can only wait and see.
Exactly.
-
I want to at least get season 1 available for streaming from my server on my website. :p I gotta work on that this weekend. I've been soooooo busy lately. <_<
-
You know I have an idea why don't we write letters to Universal animation studios and tell them we want a season 2? :idea
-

Won't they identify our Fan Website. Just asking because with the technology of today there are so many possibilities of tracking people down.
-
unless they employ psychics and assuming that psychic powers do really work and assuming those individuals have true psychic powers. Then they could track down what website a letter sender visits a lot.
-
psychic powers? No, if somebody working with LBT wanted to get some LBT feedback he or she might easily stumble across the GOF via google. I do not excluede the possibility that people who worked with the movies (other than those we know about) did find about the GOF, but I reckon if that's right, they may not want to reveal themselves to us. With the risk of many requests, suggestions, pleas, etc. that might be sent to them without them having asked for it I would not blame them if that guess was correct.
-
I agree with action9000.
-
No news about yet.
-

Why is it such a big problem if universal identifies the GOF website? ... its not illegal to have fan-sites as far as I am aware.
-
Some places are nicer then others when it comes to fan websites I have heard. I heard marvel hates them, or use to, no idea if they still do nor not. Dc and bbc don't care really. The bbc even turned a blind eye after dr who was canceled and in the interum folks were making their own fan made dr who movies and you could get them for free, like they are turning a blind eye to loose cannon doing their reconstructions of lost episodes. It all depends on the corporation from what I heard and their attitude.
-
Is there any evidence for season 2 ever coming out?
-
Currently...not a thing.
-
Currently...not a thing.
noname and NeoGenesis005 i check wiki today i found season 2 is real The Land Before Time TV series is going to be renewed for a second season. It was added on IMDb.com and TV.com.
-
Wiki is not a very reliable source, and IMDB and TV.com aren't always reliable either, from what I experienced in the past. Unless I hear it straight from the horse's mouth (Universal in this case), I won't believe any word on an LBT TV series season 2.
-
Not only that I looked all over the Universal Studios Animation Websites, not a single Update so Wikipedia is useless.
-
agreed
-
I really hope they make a season 2 and bring back guest characters again but make ali more like her movie version.
-
Its many possible of whats going to happen in the future.
:( right now I'm starting to believe that LBT is done for. lets think it over a minute, its been 2 1/2 years (i believe) that the Studios haven't made a new movie; its been over a year since they haven't made a Season two so its pretty obvious.
-
Don't give your hopes up.
-
Don't give your hopes up.
Might as well, unless Universal's Animation Studios open again, then we had might as well forget about LBT having any new seasons or movies.
-
season 2 will not happen , point blank..
-
a final movie would be great in this year
-
Yeah, it would be really nice to give the series a proper conclusion. Even better would be if the eventual producers returned (at least partly) to the spirit of the first movie. Personally, I'm keeping my hopes up.
-
I guess we can wait for 2013 to see if they'll do anything for the 25th anniversary.
I'm not holding my breath though.
-
It ain't gonna happen in 2013. Not 2020. Not even 2100. Universal closed their animation studios four years ago. I doubt they'll re-open now. The tv series will be the close to this series, and speaking of closing, that's what I feel should be done to this topic.
There's a better chance something like Watership Down (1987) would have a sequel than The Land Before Time XIII would now. I feel all season 2/land before time 14 topics should be closed without question.

-
I rather have a movie than a tv series. First of all, the tv series would just have a low budget animation with tons of mistakes, and even confused plotlines. If a movie was made, at least there be some decency.
-
Movie companies only seem to care about 3D these days... <_<
-
I never cared for the TV Series but I watched it any how but if something does happen than I'd see it. And they did not close there studio for good. They made Despicable Me last year and they're making the sequel. So they haven't closed there doors completely yet.
-
I don't think it's very likely considering how many years it's been, but I'm not intending to crush anyone's spirits here... I actually kind of like the T.V. series, and if there was a season 2, here are a couple of characters I'd like to see return;
1. Ozzy
2. Strut
3. Pterano
4. Rinkus
5. Sierra
But, you probably could've guessed this by just looking at my avi! :lol
If I remember right, I think Petrie actually referenced his uncle a couple of times in some of the episodes, but Pterano's still a character I'd like to see again, nonetheless.
-
I don't know. :unsure:
Just two months after the last episode aired it was completely pulled off the air in North America, which isn't a good sign.
I'd say the series---which lasted just 26 short episodes---is long dead...
...if not for one thing.
The hypothetica episode with Ozzy and Strut. A rumor? Possibly. An episode immediately pulled from syndication by Universal after being aired in a few countries because they're keeping us in anticipation of what's to come...?
...Possibly.
Time will tell. :smile
-
I'd say time has already closed the book on this one, and good riddance. It was as just, if not worse than LBT13.
-
Personally I disagree about the quality concerning parts of the TV series kind of a placable conclusion after the extremely bad quality of some of the later sequels. With regard to the likelihood of a second season I pretty much agree though that at the current state of things it is out of question.
-
I don't understand why you keep defending this mess. What was so good about it?
-
Why does it bother you?
It is my opinion that the TV series was better than many people say and it is also my opinion that LBT 10 was an awful lot worse than many people say. Your opinion, my opinion, both have the right to be voiced. Let's agree to disagree on the quality of the TV series but agree that we both may state our opinion.
-
As for your question on what was so good about it, I wrote in another thread (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=3102) about the positive aspects of the series.
-
Because the show's a piece of crap and I'd rather LBT's carcass be left to rot. It already lost all of it's dignity, so the hole it's been dug into can only get deeper.
-
Your opinion is noted WeirdRaptor and everyone is free to agree with your view, but don't try to deny that same freedom with regard to other views of other people.
There is no point in not agreeing to disagree on our liking or not liking of the TV series.
If you want a discussion on the series you can post the specific arguments for your view same as I posted mine. No problem with that.
-
When I did that, you yelled at me. You got real pissed because I didn't like that this show turned Petrie into a religious fanatic.
-
Everyone has their own opinions. I, however, have never even seen the TV series. Having said that, while I think it's okay to not like the TV series itself or even to have a strong opinion about it, I don't think it's okay to call OTHERS out just because their opinion is totally different. Malte here dislikes LBT 10, which is actually my favorite, yet I don't mind. :smile
-
I dislike LBT 10 too, Malte.
Anyways, why was it never officially announced that the series was canned?
-
When I did that, you yelled at me.
When did I ever yell at you? Please show me where I did so I can see if I owe you an apology or if maybe you are just interpreting my words of an older thread in much harsher a manner as they were intended.
Anyways, why was it never officially announced that the series was canned?
I suppose that would be because it was not "canned" as in being aborted. For all we know they had one season greenlighted and one season they did. I suppose if the tv-series had been an unexpted commercial success they might have continued, but it was not. They closed the office in charge of the LBT movies but these are internal affairs for the studio I suppose and there is no reason for them to announce to the world that they are not going to make any further LBT movies. In theory they might continue making LBT movies some day (that is extremely unlikely) and in case there ever was such a decision they wouldn't be bothered by any earlier official "declaration of discontinuation of LBT movies". ;)
-
Alght, I was mistaken. Sorry about that. I was remembering our disagreement about The Bright Circle Celebration differently from how it happened.
-
To throw this out I did like the TV series. As for whether there will be a Season 2 or even a fourteenth movie, that answer will be up in the air at this point unless someone from the production of the series comes on here and literally tells us (something that is not impossible I might add, I'll explain that another time).
We have to remember something. The show nor the series in general have NEVER been official cancelled as it is on hiatus now. We may think it is, but it never was announced the series was ever cancelled. Universal just closed the office.
We have to keep that in mind. We also have to keep in mind that someone could pick up the series instead of Universal itself. I don't know if that has ever been discussed before, but it is something to think about.
-
What was so good about it?
There was one salvation to it.
From a completely unrelated topic about Pterano:
What is it with Pterano that makes some of our users so obsessed with him? He appeared in one movie as an antagonist, and was never heard from again. He was even passed by on the TV Show, which seemed to bring back every character it could think of.
Really, in 26 short episodes they brought back a grad total of 16 one-off sequel characters. They could have forgotten them all (well, except for Tricia, obviously)! OK, so they screwed Ali up. Still, they took it upon themselves to bring almost everyone back. It was almost like they knew the franchise was nearing the end and were saying goodbye to these characters! :cry
And if that rumor we got a while back is true...Ozzy and Strut should have shown up as well!
