1988 Theatrical Release / Fan-Made Trailers of the Original
« on: April 10, 2010, 05:43:33 AM »
Indeed, the third one is spectacular.  If I saw that in a movie theater,
I¥d surely get the biggest chills of my life. The musical pieces, pauses and dialogue
are well thought-out and make it super-dramatic. Rooter¥s quote in the end
was a nice touch, and once again reminded how much Lion King owes to
this movie.

General Land Before Time / If LBT Was Anime, Would You Watch it?

^ Seconded.

Yeah why not, as long as it isn¥t too budgetish mishmash of talking heads
and overused panning.

The character design should also stay true to the originals as much as possible,
in order to gain my approval, as well as their personalities.

General Land Before Time / Getting to know you - LBT Style
« on: April 02, 2010, 04:49:34 PM »
1.) Most liked Land Before Time character
Ducky, hands down. Juvenile innocence and cuteness
is perfected in this child of nature. Having her
just sitting there doing nothing and looking cute
is enough to put a smile on anyone¥s face.
Gotta love her carefree optimism and curious nature.


2.) Least liked Land Before Time character
All those lame cartoonish Sharpteeth, who can¥t do
nothing but open their jaws and growl. Too bad
that majority of the theropods of the sequels
fall into this category.


3.) Most liked Land Before Time song
If We Hold on Together is an obvious winner
in my books, as it was such an important part
of the score of the original movie. But if I
have to pick the second best, the one
performed by Ichy and Dill in the 4th movie
was absolutely hilarious!

4.) Least liked Land Before Time song
Maybe one from that horrendous yellowbelly
movie.

5.) Most liked Land Before Time film
Obviously the first one, but the 7th
film stands out immediately thereafter,
because of Pterano. He¥s such a fascinating
multi-layered psychological figure, who
definitely should have been made a recurring
character. Additionally, this movie seems to
have slightly smoother animation quality than
its predecessors (not including the superior
first movie, of course).

6.) Least liked Land Before Time film
The 13th movie was abysmally hideous. These
irritating yellowbellied weirdos do not
belong in LBT universe.

7.) Most memorable Land Before Time moment
The scene that epitomized LBT for me has to be the
part from the original movie where Cera discovers
the unconscious Sharptooth from the bottom of the
gorge. To this day that part champions as one of
the scariest things I have ever seen!

Peaceful Good Friday to each and everyone, I´m Mikael,
26 years old dude living in the northern corner of Europe.

I discovered this jolly good forum today, and I´m most delighted to
find so many fans of LBT here.

I just finished reviving a part of my childhood by having
a full LBT marathon, watched all 13 movies in only 3 days!

I still remember when my mum took me to a theatre to
watch the original movie when I was seven years old.
Needless to say, this movie had a huge impact on me,
and I was already an enormous dinosaur fan back then.

Even though twenty years has passed,  The Land Before Time
still touches me on a level 99% of movies cannot do. The characters
are wonderful and lovable, and you care for them as
if they were real persons. It´s truly a magnificent emotional
rollercoaster of epic proportions.

Unlike many others, I never got to grow up with the sequels,
as I got involved with them at much later age (around 2006),
so my emotional investment in those movies is much smaller.
Nevertheless, I think they still make a respectable effort in
expanding the LBT universe, and provide many enjoyable moments.

I look forward to chat with you guys in the near future! :wave

~ Mikael
