Again, I question the use of the word "only" here. :p
You beat me to it, Manny

'Only' 12?  :rolleyes:

Even Rotten Tomatoes quotes this as a bit much. But if the movies are as good as you say they are, I'll give them a spin ^_^

Some people here, I think, don't care much about the quality of the sequels. :p There's a lot of differing opinions here on what the best and worst are, so you may be in for a few surprise. You may find a cherished movie, or, on the other hand, you may just wish they stuck to the one movie. :lol

she looked at me when I came up and gave me a strange look. I handed her the movie and she studied the cover for a while. There were several people in line so I mentioned that to her after she had spent probably 3 minutes looking at it, not wanted to be rude to the other customers. She gave me a nasty look and said "ya know what, you really need to get your head out of the gutter and get a life." I said "Excuse me???"  She said "If you're still obsessed with these, maybe you should go back to the kid section and pick out a few barney movies". "I'd hate to see movie night ruined by not having the special movie". Trying to keep my cool, I just said "no thank you. I'm finished shopping now." Then she said "ya know, if you want you can hang out with my 4 year old son. He loves these movies. You'll have a blast." I knew she was just trying to get to me so I just ignored her. Now remember that I only had one item and she still hadn't scanned it. Then she said "You are so dumb for buying this." "What are you like 18?"


One of the many, many (I do mean MANY) reasons I don't trust people outside my family.  <_<

I mean, there are only 12 movies out there so far. :rolleyes:
"Only"? Most movie franchises are lucky to even get 3. 11 sequels (12 soon) is a huge number for a movie franchise.

Yes, James Bond is one of the few, other then LBT to have lots of sequels.

There's also the Never Ending Story

another example of a series that started out with an excellent movie but went downhill from there on.

Also one of the many movies that I want to read the novel about

^ That movie though was poor compared to the excellent book "The Never Ending Story" by Michael Ende.

I didn't know neverending story was based on a book, or if I did I forgot.

It is based on a book, and a really good one at that. They left out most of the elements of the the book in the the movies though the first and second movie were loosely based on the book. If you get a chance to read the book it is certainly one I would recommend to everyone.

I would watch all the sequels if I were you Aves (hope I can call you that).  I'd give the original a 10/10 and all the sequels 9/10.  The original was the best, but the sequels are great too.  It's a little shocking and embarrassing to watch singing dino's at first, but they don't sing too much and the stories are great. B) Besides, you actually get to enjoy the songs after a while (though some absolutely hate them no matter how many times they watch them.)  I guess it has to do with how "much" you can take before you crack.  Now one thing I wouldn't recommend is that you watch the LBT tv series first because they're seriously childish (but I still like them).  However, if you want to see just how childish LBT can get, you can check out the link in my signature (the massive picture of Littlefoot by the Universal planet on a ledge in the middle of space :p ).  Just click on the link "Watch/DL LBT Tv Series".  It's a link to my website where I host all of the LBT tv eps I have.

A tip:  wait until the words pop onto the screen and then click play.  The words signify that the movie is totally loaded and ready for streaming.  The words say "play this video".  CLICK ON the words to play.

Oh and the signature is the thing at the bottom of each of my posts (right under these words).

Hey now.. I know what a sig is, I am a 'FORUM FOX' after all XD

to be honest, the first time I saw the sig, it gave me a comical image of Lil Foot being spooked by the Universal Studios Sign.. like a sign of things to come... kinda symbolic XD

but I'll give it a look after a while.. I didn't know there was an animated series until this last weekend, and I was creeped by the idea

I don't remember his username, but someone here told me that they hated the songs and hoped they'd get rid of them for good.

I knew you probably did.  I just didn't want you to have any questions on this off topic topic :p Now it's time to get back on topic.

That sounds abit exessive...I know there are several songs I don't like, but to get rid fo them all....I just don't see it happening.

I know Ducky, as well as Littlefoot (in the original film) have said this. :P:

I was waiting for someone to say it was me who suggested the songs have no place in the films.  :P:  Select ones certainly can be burned for all I care.  Some aren't too bad.

The day Barney starts to show up in the series to push the songs along will be the day I picket and protest the idiots at Universal Studio. With Purple Dinosoar Voodoo dolls...

Unless I get filthy rich someday, then I'll see about buying the rights from them and putting things in a better format.

Amen to that!
