I'll be watching it on Netflix as I seriously CAN'T wait for my copy to come in the mail.  So, what timezone does Netflix follow when it comes to releasing something in the US?  Anyone know?
Same here. There's no Walmart near where I live -- my home town's city council actually voted against the construction of one a few years ago. I'll still buy the DVD. Heck, I would have already if Walmart's website didn't keep giving me an error message whenever I try to use my Paypal account to place an order.

Looking at the trailer again, I do hope Ruby and Chomper are given more screen-time than glorified cameos. I'm also bracing myself for the new voices for Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn. Kenneth Mars and John Ingle were the voices of my childhood...

The Reddit Discussion Thread for the movie, complete with links, is ready.

Spread it through Facebook and Twitter if you like!  I've got a few last things to take care of before I see this movie. :D

It will be an adjustment hearing the new voices for Grandpa Longneck and Mr. Threehorn. Kenneth Mars and John Ingle were two of my favorite voice actors from my childhood; they've been voicing those two characters for so long that I feel like their voices are what made the characters come to life.

Think I may stay away from this topic, until I see the movie. As I say I'm hoping to see it on googleplay

Watching it and look at this sharptooth they ran into.

In hindsight, it was scarier when I saw it chasing the gang.

I'm surprised Tress MacNeille didn't have the time to return.

Oh a carnotorus. Always wondered how they'd look in the LBT world. Ok this really is the last post I will make now until I see the movie

I just watched it. I was NOT expecting it to be that good. Really caught me off guard. Animation was spotty in some areas but they really made this one feel like a comeback for the series. I'd have to say this is probably the best LBT sequel since LBT5. The songs were also good, some of the action scenes actually carried some suspense to them, and whoever did the backgrounds deserves a raise. For a direct to video cartoon sequel, its as good as you're gonna get these days imho.

Highlight for spoilers.

I am not going to lie here.  This was not a great movie.  Yet, none of us were expecting that.  In fact, we set the bar pretty low, especially after what happened with the last movie. *shudders*

However, it feels more like Universal was looking to make a SOLID movie over a great one.  Everyone just went in, made sure the lines worked, did their job right, got paid and went home.  After that, they hoped for the best.

With this one, we get what we expect out of the sequels.  A plot that drives the gang to go out of the valley, the journey to get there, a few comedy relief characters and some songs along the way.  Yet, it feels like they decided to do a different approach with all those elements.

The extra characters usually have a good chunk of screen time and end up being a large focus to interact with the gang.  However here, the extra characters aren't the main focus.  The gang we know and love is and the movie gets that.  The extra characters are only in there if they need to be for the plot to move along and that's it!

For example, Wild Arms tells them what happened when Littlefoot's Dad doesn't show up with the herd he leads.  Turns out, on their way, they were passing by Fire Mountain and it just happened to choose that time to blow.  Bron stayed behind to ensure everyone got out safe.  However, the earth separated and Bron was left behind, trapped by the erupting volcano.  Next, when Littlefoot asks Wild Arms to find Bron, Wild Arms tends to quickly explain the direction they would take to get there and refuses.  After that, he pretty much remains off-screen in the valley for a good chunk of the movie.  It's only after the gang has left to find Bron that Wild Arms returns.  He's forced to lead the adults to find the gang because the adults forced him to.  It's not long until he faints from freight (from seeing Chomper) and is forced to be carried by Topsy.  After that, Chomper leads them with his nose.

Etta is mainly given a role in the last leg of the journey to give Littlefoot some encouragement and because she knows how to get there.  In fact, she was there when Fire Mountain blew it's top and saw what happened to Bron.  Turns out, Bron had to go back for Wild Arms.  Turns out the little guy is a coward.  It's Wild Arms' fault that Bron ended up trapped by the Fire Mountain, albeit unintentionally.

The majority of the movie is spent with the gang and the journey they take to get there.  Frankly speaking, we wouldn't have it any other way.  It's what the movie should be about and this movie gets that.  It's a solid entry that knew what it was meant to do and does it.  It's not looking to be great, it's looking to be solid and this movie accomplishes that.

There's a few sound effects that feel off to have in the LBT Universe and at times the personality of the characters feels off, but there's really not much else that is bad with this movie.

Don't go in expecting greatness out of this one.  It's nothing more than a solid movie that's entertaining.  I will say that it's at least better than 13 was and that's what we hoped for.  If we end here, I'd be satisfied.


Oh, and we have a few new entries for the glossary now.

Sand Cloud = The clouds you see when a sandstorm is approaching.
Stinkweed = Leafy plants that smell.

Well, there ya all go!

I'll see ya later! :wave

I'm very annoyed at the moment  x(cera

I've been trying to watch the movie online but so far all my attempts have failed I've tried PokePlayer984's links but I still can't seem to get. Don't understand it but it is really getting on my nerves so I could use a hand in finding an online version.

I can't walk into Walmart since I live in Aust so I can only get it digitally for now but failed so far, Any help in finding the movie would be greatly appreciated.
What's the point in being mad if you don't do mad things now and again?

I loved it! Only two things really bugged me-- one was that the animation seems to have taken a bit of a turn for the worse. The second is that we never got word of Shorty.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but the Carnataur sounds were LITTERALLY the same ones as the T. Rex boss from The Lost World Jurassic Park arcade shooter.

edit: proof

Now this is how you display something at a store.

Also, on the side are these lovely additions.

https://flic.kr/p/DzYEub

It's all 13 of the previous movies with the sequels in 3-movies-in-one-DVDs.

Oh, and prepare for a bit of jealousy as I also got this.

Working at Walmart can have it's perks sometimes. ^^spike
