1988 Theatrical Release / Re: Tell Your Story About LBT
« on: August 22, 2021, 02:13:49 PM »
Wish I knew how old I was when I first saw it. It's a bit hard to tell the story of the first time when you don't remember it haha., But my story of LBT and my relationship to all these lovable characters started before I could even remember, which is kind of cool. But my strongest early LBT memory was bringing the VHS to school for movie night. I was a little worried my classmates would think it was childish or that they wouldn't like it because it was old. Anyway, turned out everyone loved it and a few of the parents really teared up because they had memories of seeing it when they were young.
Anyway, it's still probably my favorite animated movie of all time. It got me into animation, something that I've wanted to pursue for the longest time. I loved all the sequels, I would think about Littlefoot and his friends all the time and make up my own adventures in my head , a few of them I still think could have really worked!
When I got older I sorta decided that I needed to hide it. Even though my family is the really supportive , I didn't even want them or my sisters to know how much this stupid dinosaur movie and all the sequels meant to me. That it was basically the source of all my creativity for the longest time. Of course, I had other such inspirations as well, Walking with Dinosaur and later Jurassic Park and the Wings of Fire books which more of the kids were into. But Land Before Time was my first really big obsession.
I would have probably gotten a Littlefoot plushy or something if I could but I never did. I don't even know if there are any good ones, I just remember it being one of those things I used to want.
I still get a weird warm fuzzy feeling thinking about the movies and the characters and basically I've stopped caring whether I'm too old to like them anymore. Life is just more fun with a little bit of LBT in it than without it!
