I remember 2 and 3 were on Netflix back in about 2013-14. It noticed the original was added the other day; it's nice to see it on there.


Btw, is anyone else having the same problem I am? At the top of the page, blocking the forum logo, is a picture of Chomper biting bars that say "Please update your account to enable third party hosting", with a photo bucket link.

That's a great poster! I had no idea it existed!

Well they do use the term "lone dinosaur" in LBT 6 and the TV episode "The Lone Dinosaur Returns"...but other than that not really.

I wonder if they should bring anyone back in the next one like they brought back Bron, or keep it entirely new. Pterano has grown on me over the years so it would be interesting seeing him again.

I think you are too critical about many things, Bruton. Watch the movie and enjoy it. If the original movie didn't have the cuts, it would be perfect, but even with them it's still one of the best movies ever made. I don't get why so any people keep on ranting about anything in movies. Geez, just sit back, watch and enjoy. If there's an interesting story/idea with likeable characters, good animation/filming and voices/actors that fit the roles, why rant about it? Not everything is going to be 100% the way you want it to be so be happy with 90% or continue watching movies with frustration, your choice really...

That's really why I'm not very critical about movies. I watch them and either I enjoy them or I don't but there's no gain in getting upset about every little shit. Some bad jokes? So what, the movie's still good   <_<

Children's films today, Pixar aside (and even Pixar has gone downhill a bit in the last half-decade), are just full of obnoxious pop-culture references, pop songs, obnoxious characters, celebrity voice actors, mediocre storytelling, bad writing, terrible jokes, and so many other things that would NOT suit a LBT remake.
You mean, Pixar AND Disney aside, because Tangled, Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen, Big Hero 6, and Zootopia were all excellent. And Moana is shaping up to be awesome.

Haven't seen Tangled and Big Hero 6 yet but the others on that list are amazeballs, their recent movies are, if anything, better than the older ones. Anyway, off-topic

The thing is, LBT simply isn't something I'm as into as it used to be. Obviously I'm still a part of the LBT community, but it's only really something I'm into if it's what I consider really good. And to me, now, even the original has too many problems. Without the cuts it would be much better, though.

What I'm basically saying isn't anything against the original, I'm just saying they shouldn't remake it  unless they make it better.

I've assume it's the equivalent to a year, but today Nick told me it's equivalent to 50 years??  

How did I know this would involve the recent news of the live-action Lion King remake?  

The fact is, I feel the original has a lot of problems. Yeah, I admit it. I'm not the LBT fan I was when I joined half a decade ago.

As someone pointed out, however, the decent enough film we have would likely be trashed beyond belief. At least if it were made today. If it's made in a distant enough future, in which, hypothetically, filmmakers have actually learned to appreciate and understand the kind of quality that matters and that made the first one good, well, I'm all up for it.

But I hope there's a good decade and a half between now and whenever a remake is even considered. Children's films today, Pixar aside (and even Pixar has gone downhill a bit in the last half-decade), are just full of obnoxious pop-culture references, pop songs, obnoxious characters, celebrity voice actors, mediocre storytelling, bad writing, terrible jokes, and so many other things that would NOT suit a LBT remake. Until the world has learned better from that, they should stay away from remaking LBT.

From what I can tell the recent remake of "The Jungle Book" pretty much avoided these things, and if the other Disney remakes do as well, there's hope. But I still say there should be a 15 year or so wait before they even consider remaking it, to make sure the world has learned.

I would love to write this all down on TV Tropes, but as most of you know, they hate me.  

Here's one:

Inspired by Snik's recent caption: http://z7.invisionfree.com/thegangoffive/i...showtopic=15568 (BTW, so great to see captions from the original movie being made!)

Thought I'd bump this since I think it's a really cool idea and I hope anyone here has the technology for so they can publish it for curious fans.
