It's been a long time since I've communicated with you in a forum setting

Welcome to the forum!

Did you ever get an answer to Conover after sending the reply? It's been quite a hiatus since we've last been contacting people.

This was a discussion thread for what Universal would do concerning the original movie for the 30th anniversary, not to celebrate. The celebration thread is at http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=16217

Today's The Day! Happy anniversary TLBT!

I grew up as a child watching the movies, and somehow I still like all of them, even the thirteenth to an extent. But most importantly, the first film holds a special place in my heart, for it is simply the best put together film in the franchise, and of course, it was the one that started it all, not just for the Land Before Time franchise, but for Universal's future dinosaur movies (Jurassic Park/World in particular, a franchise I don't have as much nostalgia for, but I still like it.

First time I saw the original movie (along with II through VI) was when I was just three years old. I was born 14 years before the first film was released, so I'm kinda late to the party compared to a lot of other people Anyway, I'm sixteen now, and though I don't have as much as interest in the franchise as I used to, due to getting older and growing out of it (as well as other interests; I love dinosaurs in general, not just TLBT ones) the franchise will still be very special to me, and of course, I will watch all of the films again some time in the future!

So again, Happy 30th Anniversary of The Land Before Time!

However, it were the vague memories I had of the original film that brought me back and especially Horner’s soundtrack which still lingered in my head years later. It was from the memory of Discovery of the Great Valley and its reprisals that reintroduced me to the film and I was immediately amazed by the first movie when I saw it again. It was a short
struggle after that to get to the sequels but, well, I got over it.

I love the soundtracks too! The musical scores in the entire franchise, by both James Horner and Michael Tavera (as well as Billy Martin a bit) are incredible. Wish I could say the same thing for all of the songs, but unfortunately there are only a select few of those that are just as amazing. But anyway, I love Discovery of the Great Valley as well. Probably one of, if not the best track out of all the soundtracks.

(so.. did creators or somebody else released or plans to release something to anniversary?..)

All they released was a mediocre playset, no new movie, no deleted scenes. Not that I was surprised, but I just hoped for more.

Thanks guys! I had a great day!

I was 12 when I first joined. Now I am close to 16.

The tape is from the early '90s? Hmm, doesn't sound too likely that there'd be anything on it unfortunately. We've been through this same thing so many times but once again I hope things turn out differently and that there are actually deleted scenes in the tape.

15, male. Turning 16 next month.

Looking back at this thread, there were people a little older than this, and now they're in their 30s! In fact a lot of the people on the forum from 2004-2006 are in their 30s right now it seems.
