Also don't forget about the classic films Friday The 13th,Halloween, and A Nightmare On Elm Street.

A question: does the closing of the office affect the frequency of showing on TV, because I haven't seen anything LBT on TV in awhile?

Kor · **Reply #102 on:** July 06, 2008, 10:38:03 PM

I would guess that just means there is no LBT movie or season in production at the moment. With season 1 made they will likely show it on whatever networks or channels will pay for it.

That really stinks I am very disappointed to hear this i dont belive it. I feel confused. I wonder why this could of happned? The Land before Time was doing so good and now this happens this breaks my heart

now The Land Before Time has become even more special to me in my happy LBT memorys i loved watching the tv show and the LBT movies on tv. I can look at the bright side i am happy to see 13 movies made there is so much lbt for me to rember. This will might take a long time for me to get over how shocked i am to hear this but all is not lost for me i am not giving up on lbt. i hope it will soon continue on one day. I can hope for the best and see what may happen.

That's all any of us can do at the moment really, stars. We won't know for sure until Universal makes it public.

I'd guess they closed the lbt offices between certain movies in the past when there was some time between the movies.

After the news of the closing office I sent a mail of the following wording to Universals:

Quote

Dear Madam or Sir,
recently rumors about closure of the office responsible for the production of the land before time movies have reached the fan community. As one of the fans I would really appreciate if you could tell me if the closure of this office means that there will be no further land before time sequels or TV episodes, or if the office is just to change its location or something. Are there any plans for the production of further LBT sequels or episodes?
Sincerely,
Malte [...]

Today I received a rather noncommittal response:

Quote

Dear Ms. [...],

Thank you for contacting Universal Studios Home Entertainment. We strive to provide the highest standard in product quality and customer care.

No dates have been announced for the next "Land Before Time" DVD release. Please check our website periodically at: http://www.universalstudioshomeentertainment.com for listings of upcoming releases.

We appreciate your patronage and hope that you will continue to enjoy Universal products.

Sincerely,

Consumer Relations
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

Apart from being promoted to Ms. (my name sure is not exactly known in the Englishspeaking world

:) the letter doesn't say much. I suppose it s very much of a form mail. The lack of any announcement dates for further LBT movies doesn't mean anything, but I regret that there is no reference whatsoever to the closure of the office.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #107 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:04:32 AM

Yup. Just a useless form generated response. That's really too bad. The least they could do is get back to you with a real person. <_<

Coyote_A · **Reply #108 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:10:58 AM

Beat me, but i would never consider, that Malte could be a name of a girl. That's definetly a machine-generated answer.

Threehorn · **Reply #109 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:26:51 AM

With that kind of response that would mean there is no real word that LBT is over or it going on after a short break. Wow now this is really confusing, Universal surly makng peoples heads spin around not getting any clear answers.

Cancerian Tiger · **Reply #110 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:37:23 AM

The message sent by Universal seems rather confusing indeed

:. While there is no absolution as to whether or not more LBT sequels will be released, the message at least gives fans a glitter of hope that the office may not have closed after all. Just a glitter, but that's better than despair alone

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #111 on:** July 09, 2008, 08:38:45 AM

Hmm... a computer generated answer? Okay, that's just disappointing. When a company relies on a computer to answer their mail, that just shows extreme lazyness, along with the company not caring about what their fans have to say.

However, there is a trick around it that I know of. I don't wish to share my secrets, but if it doesn't work, then it'll show how lazy the head of Universal is at giving out answers.

Give me the e-mail address you sent it to, Malte, and I'll guarantee either a straight answer or a lazy response.

But you have to write the email on the Universal Studio's contact link page

Hmmmmm. I chatted with Universal using a different way. I was given a corporate email address and told to just send an email there. I got quite an interesting email indeed. They said they planned to have "many more sequels" to the original. That was a year ago, but it still gives me hope to this day. There's only been 1 sequel released since that time.

Threehorn · **Reply #114 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:32:24 AM

If they said that a year ago then there is very much more hope.

I would love to present my story to them to see where it goes, the one I haven't really shown to you guys because of that very possiblity. At least give them a little summary of it at least and my picture that I created for my story.

I spoke to the director 2 years ago telling a little about my idea and at that time he seem interested in the way I made it. That he might even take a look at it once it was typed up.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #115 on:** July 09, 2008, 09:39:39 AM

Hmm... there seems to be a few problems with the sending of the letter. I'm sure it is only a problem on their end and will be fixed soon enough.

I'll save my message in my desktop for the time being and get back to them later.

Kor · **Reply #116 on:** July 09, 2008, 11:35:56 AM

If you wish to sell scripts you need an agent with hollywood connections, as far as I know.

and as for the offices closing, as I said before, when they are not actively working on a movie they are not going to have the folks staring at the wall, paying them to come into the LBT office and do nothing while they are between a LBT project. They'll likely close the LBT office between projects and send the various universal employees to work on other projects.

Can you give us the exact wording of the mails?
Mails need to be read very carefully to avoid misunderstandings. Depending on the exact wording of both your question and the response the author of the later may have easily referred to the existing TV episodes about a year ago.

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #118 on:** July 09, 2008, 12:10:14 PM

There we go! Got it sent, so now we wait.

Well, it was sent to my abandoned email address....... I really don't want to go through there. Here is why I abandoned my old email address:

The sad part is, I marked it as UNREAD!!!!

There's no way I can go through over 11,000 messages to get it, sorry.
