sequel with darkest story

I think it was interesting how there were 4 sequels were something changed the valley for the worse resulting in the herd leaving in two of them for a while.

I don't think any of the sequels could be considered "dark" per say, but if we're talking about the sequel that was the most serious with the most mature topic, that would definitely be LBT 4 because it deals with death.

I voted 13
Why?
I seem to recall those yellow belly clowns as scary.

I voted for LBT IV, for the same reason as Landbeforetimelover. It also had perhaps the scariest close call in a sequel, which was when Ducky was dropped by Ichy, ended up with her lights knocked out, and was almost eaten by Dil. The first time I saw that one, I thought she was a goner (dead folks float in water)

I wonder if LBT 14 would be dark.

Kor · **Reply #5 on:** June 18, 2009, 09:03:35 AM

I'd say either 4 since it deals with a possible death of Littlefoot's grandfather, and for a while there it does look like Ducky may be dead or soon will be. Possibly parts of 7 the deal with kidnapping and such, though it's spoiled by various elements such as the et dinos.

To be honest I still think LBT13 is the darkest.

Daddytops2009 · **Reply #7 on:** June 18, 2009, 10:16:22 AM

LBT 4 too.

Serris · **Reply #8 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:33:05 AM

Definately 4 and 7.

Both dealt with darker and more mature topics (death and kidnapping respectively).

Land before Time 4

the same idea as everyone elses

I actually thought the beginning of LBT 13 was really quite dark, among the darkest moments in the series so far. Still, I have a hard time calling LBT 13 dark overall.

I would probably go with LBT 7 and Pterano's character.

Paradise Bird · **Reply #11 on:** June 18, 2009, 07:29:39 PM

I do find LBT 13 dark especially the yellow bellies.

Tyrannosaur · **Reply #12 on:** June 19, 2009, 12:02:12 AM

i would say its definitely either 4 or 7 for the reasons already mentioned here.

one scene in particular i do find slightly disturbing in LBT 7 is the flashback scene where, i think its Littlefoot's grandparents, or someone explaining what happened when Pterano broke off and took alot of the herd with him.

we don't actually see any dinosaurs being directly attacked during the flashback, but the look of horror on Pterano's face during it and merely imagining what is happening to all of them is a bit chilling.

Given the very kid friendly nature of the sequels up to that point, im surprised that scene even made it into the movie.

Dunno if I could really brand any of the sequels as "dark" exactly. There's nothing particularly sinister about any of them apart from the odd event. Like in LBT 13, the start of that was a bit of a shocker to witness given how the rest of the movie pans out. I guess, if I absolutely HAD to place a darkest plot sticker on one of the sequels, I'd say 4 since (as most of you have already said) it has the closest dealings with death. But I still wouldn't class it fully as a dark story

I was very pleased with the beginning of LBT 13. Though I had no desire to watch Grandma die, it did have subject matter that was significantly more mature than in earlier sequels. Unfortunately it went from being the most mature sequel to the least with those crazy ass yellow bellies.

: LBT 13 is definitely my least favorite sequel.

Wait...Grandma Longneck dies? What the hell happened in that movie?

Kor · **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:33:32 PM

No, though I dislike saying spoilers, she doesn't die in that movie. The movie starts off ok, but becomes pretty silly.

Paradise Bird · **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2009, 12:14:19 AM

So would there be any future sequel.

Littlefoot1616 · **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2009, 06:30:09 AM

Not from what we've heard so far. News has spread that the LBT offices have since packed up and shipped out so it doesn't look likely to be any more LBT for a while.

I didn't vote for it, but I think the first one has some dark moments, like when Littlefoot mom dies that fight with the T-Rex, there was also that scene where Petrie was thought to have died, Ducky was so sad. I never saw the 4th as being the dark, even with the Grandpa possiblity of dieing but that's just me. I saw the 7th as being dark for one Pteraon was watching those meat eaters killing off those dinos, then one just dropping over the edge to her doom and he did nothing to help. Well those are my opinions. I never saw the 13th one.
