I just visited www.landbeforetime.com (http://www.landbeforetime.com) and watched the little intro movie. Is this "the wisdom of friends" thing a new tv series ep or is this gonna be LBT 13? If it's LBT 13, I think I'm gonna die. It didn't seem too good. :( :x :cry2

sorry for the low quality image. It's the best I could do.
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/tlordame/loofa.jpg)
Two new characters? Something about this just doesn't feel right. Someone please tell me this isn't LBT 13. PLEASE!!! :blink:
-
Kooky names on the last two. :rolleyes:
-
If it is I tell you. After all I like giving good and bad news to people. ;)
-
By the way exactly where did you find it on LBT.com :unsure:
-
just watch the short intro clip on the homepage. I wouldn't have, but my computer froze up so I had nothing else to do but watch and listen to it. :P:
-
It was okay :rolleyes:
-
I watched it now too.
I think it is LBT 13. I mean, they can't call an episode an "All New Movie". :P:
I think the clip was ok. But what do they mean by "Wisdom of Friends" ? :blink:
-
I agree
-
Why do you feel so uneasy about it? The title? If you have something about the title, just understand that it's been 12 movies and 23 episodes so far. I'm sure it's gotten difficult by now. :)
This website is enough for me. Besides, this is the official LBT website we're talking about here. Why would they lie? So, it is now officially named. LBT 13: The Wisdom of Friends.
I'm looking forward to it. Who knows? They might surprise us. :^.^:
-
Yeah, youre right. :^.^:
I thought LBT 13 was how Ruby and Chomper got into the Great Valley. Hm...
-
Maybe it will surprise us. Still, they better have a good reason for those stupid names L***@h and D***@h (overweight pieces of crap.) I refuse to mention them, they're so stupid. Still, we might learn more about how Chomper and Ruby came to the valley in the first place, and the title is more mature than the previous ones, I'll give them that. It also appears that we're
seeing more feathered Dinosaurs, so it isn't unthinkable that Ruby has something to do with this.
P.S. I didn't see Chomper or Ruby in the trailer for the thirteenth movie, so I don't quite know if they'll appear or what the story is... maybe the sequence of events is out of order...
-
Those characters...LBT just keeps getting more insane and absurd with each passing tv ep and sequal. They really need to come up with a really cool new idea or something, not just throw in more characters and hope it makes them money. :angry:
I must say that after seeing the preview of it, I'm not in a big hurry to see it. I don't want it to suck and ruin what LBT I currently have. Those are also the lamest characters I've ever seen. The imaginary friends of LBT 9 would have been better to appear in a sequal than those two. :lol:
Anyways, if it sucks, I'm gonna be really pissed, so watch out! If I watch it and it does suck, I'm sticking off the forums for at least a week until my anger cools down so I don't stink up the forums.
-
Well, we've seen less intelligent things before: just look at the "Tinysauruses." That's not even a real word! As for what this one will be about... I have no idea. This is the first movie in which I have difficulty even speculating about its plot. At least I can enjoy the mystery.
-
I think it is LBT 13. Didn't Threehorn, earlier, mention something about the movie focusing on a new type of dinosaur called "yellow-bellies"? Those two characters definitely have yellow bellies.
And it doesn't look that bad, really. What kind of idea do you want them to use lbtlover?
Edit: After seeing the preview for myself, those yellow-bellies (if that is what they are) have rather large bellies, making them look fat. This is a characteristic I've seen among the therizinosaurs. So perhaps these new dinosaurs are some species of therizinosaur, perhaps Falcarius (the oldest so far).
-
I haven't seen the clip yet since I'm in a hurry to go out as I type this post, but it does look like LBT 13 from the pics. I for one like the idea of introducing new characters. The variety of species could be educational and fun for both the LBT characters and viewers.
We just gotta wait and see how this one turns out.
-
Hmm... the land before time movies seem to be focusing on stranger dinosaurs with every movie. First, we have the prosauropods (Tinysauruses), then the microraptor gui (Guido), and then the feathered Oviraptors (Ruby and her family), now it appears that we have the therizinosaurs, which are perhaps the weirdest of the them all.

Yeah I agree. Variety is important when it comes to a movie, series, comic, etc. I wouldn't like it if LBT continued to focus on the same characters (the original five) and it is nice that they're coming up with new characters even as we speak.

Yeah, therizinosaurs were definitely the odd-balls of the dinosaur species. They were theropods, but at plants. They had the claws of a killer, but the teeth of a vegetarian.
-
Aw, I was looking forward to a movie featuring Chomper and Ruby. Either way, it looks like they got a trailer out pretty fast, especially with them developing the TV series too (which looks like it's on hiatus :( ). I guess all we have to do is wait.
-

That was a quick 180. First, you say that if you could get it now, you'd pay $1,000, not $100. Now, you're saying you aren't "in a big hurry to see it." Don't bash it if you haven't even seen it! I, for one, am looking forward to the future.
And, yes, I think we may have an official title out. I'll lurk around on Wikipedia to see if this has already became widespread news.
-
Ah well, I added the title to Wikipedia with the barebones information that was given to us. It's always hard to cite Land Before Time stuff, since there's barely any official information out in text.
-
Good job! :D
-
I am crossing my fingers for something different and un-kidified.
-
i thought that lbt 11 was going to suck but i ended up liking it so i'm going to hold of my judgement until i see the show.
-
Good move! We shouldn't judge something until we've seen it. Perhaps it will be more intelligent than its outer appearance would suggest. "The Wisdom of Friends"... I wonder what the plot will be about. Also, this movie should be the first to include Ruby and the third to include Chomper.
-
I am crossing my fingers for something different and un-kidified.
A lovely thought, but that's very unlikely.
And I somehow doubt Ruby and Chomper will be in it, unless that trailer is just the surface of this project. That's what I'm hoping for -- the explanation to Ruby and Chomper's appearance.
-
It would be odd for them not to appear; it's already established that they are in the valley.
-
This movie could be set before Chomper and Ruby enter the Great Valley.
-
I honestly don't think that new characters is the answer. They need to come up with a new and exciting idea. Dear god. I just thought of something. What if these two weird characters joined the gang? If that actually happened, I think I'd lose all of my faith in LBT and I would never watch another new sequal. Who knows though? They're getting really weird. It's almost like someone else is creating LBT now. :(
I would be in favor of more guest characters, but I think I'm gonna have a problem with these two. They're just so...childish it's not even funny. Reminds me of that old show I used to watch when I was 4. "Dragon Tales" or something like that. LBT is changing. It's more targeted to toddlers now.
It's like Universal is desperate for ideas. I cannot believe these characters are also created by Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss. They did so good with the original five.
I must say that I've had knots in my stomach since I first laid eyes on these two. The rainbow faces were kinda weird too, but these really look like...imaginary creatures. I must say that I'm looking forward to seeing it, not because I really want to see it for some great entertainment, but because I want some reassurrance that LBT isn't completely ruined. Seriously, I feel sick to my stomach right now, like when I heard the song "oops eeps" but even worse. If they've ruined a sequal...I don't know what I'll do. I'm sorry, but no smiley is appropriate for my feelings right now. I'm worried to no end and I feel like I have the flu.

New characters is an answer to help making the movies more interesting, to increase variety. It would not be a good idea to just keep focusing on the original 5. In my opinion, that gets boring after a while. No offense.
I don't really see anything wrong with those two characters. What's wrong with having playful characters in the movies?
And childish? LBT is geared towards children. That should be expected.
And those two cannot be part of the gang. This movie takes place either before Ruby and Chomper get into the valley or when they arrive. Tell me, in the series, do we ever see those two therizinosaurs hanging out with LF and the gang? I don't think so.
-

I think that so long as they keep coming up with new stories, there is no need for any new characters. Guest characters are fine, but any new additions to the gang will never be welcomed by me. This includes Ruby and Chomper. I like those characters, I just think that they would have been best as guest characters only. Having 7 main characters severly limits each character's screen time. 5 was a perfect number. They arn't doing too good a job of giving each character the spotlight in the tv series and I'm afraid that the same will happen in the sequals. I guess what I like about this movie is that the characters are real creatures. I just hate it when there's some sort of weird creature that was created in the studio's and does and did never and will never exist. I just have a really bad feeling about this one... :(
-
I still think keeping just 5 characters all the time is a bad idea. This increases the chances of overusing a character, and that's never a good thing. The character loses its.. charm I could say. So that's why new characters can be an important element, because they bring something new to the series.
There is really nothing wrong with Littlefoot and the others inviting more characters to hang out with them. They aren't going to avoid Ruby and Chomper just for the sake of being "Gang of Five". It would make senes for them to hang out with two more characters, even if it's just temporarily. It would be illogical, in my opinion, for them to exclude Ruby and Chomper just because of the whole "Gang of Five" business.
I just hate it when there's some sort of weird creature that was created in the studio's and does and did never and will never exist.
Actually this is incorrect. Every creature in the show and movies are based on actual creatures that had existed. What creatures do you think were made up?
And I'm not referring to dragons or the imaginary friends. Remember, imaginary friends don't really exist; they are just in the minds, and the dragon appeared in a dream, and anything can occur in a dream.
-

I wasn't speaking of LBT, I was speaking of animated shows in general
-
Well what's wrong with mythological creatures? What's wrong with inventing something that doesn't really exist? Imagination is fun. I wouldn't like it if all shows had only real things and don't use imagination to create something unique and interesting.

That's not what I meant. I meant that I regret them adding Chomper and Ruby to the gang cuz of the lack of screen time. I think they should leave the great valley ASAP. I love having guest characters, but too many main characters gets messy.

Well...I don't know how to say this without sounding rude, but I think that imaginary creatures are...like...really...stupid. No offence intended. I just don't see why this is necessary. It makes the show more child-like to me.
-
Nevermind.
-
Geeze, just bite my head off, why don't you? :o
Are you saying my alimons are stupid too?
Sorry. I dunno what you mean. :unsure:
And I disagree with everything you said in your last post. It's my opinion, not a fact. You have your opinion too, so that's just the way it is. We can't always agree. <_<
I think imaginary creatures are great, so long as they're not mixed with real ones. That's just weird in my opinion.
-
Before this gets too ugly, please allow me to add my thoughts here:
Landbeforetimelover, you clearly used the following terms:
I don't know how to say this without sounding rude
I think that
No offence intended
To me this says that your statement, "imaginary creatures are...like...really...stupid" was your personal opinion and not intended to be at all hostile.
I must say that your word choice (stupid) was not what we would consider friendly, whether it was an opinion or not. As an alternative, one could have said something like,
"Imaginary creatures aren't interesting to me" or something similar. Calling another person's idea stupid, whether it's fact or opinion, is generally not a good way to get on somebody's good side. ;)
I do appreciate your use of "no offense", "I don't know how to say this" and "I think" (implying and reassuring that it was only an opinion).
Darkhououmon, you are obviously upset. Landbeforetimelover is not aware of your connnection to imaginary creatures (she created the fictional Alimon species, found in fanart and fanfics, LBTlover). I felt that your use of absolute terms, such as:
They aren't stupid
They are unique and interesting
No, there is not.
It is in no way stupid.
were a little inappropriate in this circumstance, simply because you imply that your *Opinions* are pure fact and always correct while LBTlover's *Opinions* are always incorrect. Obviously, as we observe in this conversation, that is not true. LBTlover clearly states that his opinion significantly differs from yours. Neither one of you are stating facts.
LBTlover, please try to be more careful with wording in the future, especially if you want to avoid future conflicts such as these.
Darkhououmon, while I understand your reaction, partly due to your strong connections to the imagination and to your creations, this is one situation where understanding needs to exist in the minds of Both parties. Your response implies that LBTlover's opinions have no value and that is just as inappropriate as LBTlover's comments to you.
It is situations like these where people realize the importance of interpretation. There was clearly some miscommunication here, partly from people not fully understanding how the other thinks (or choosing not to consider it). In short: Know your audience and issues will take care of themselves sometimes. B) That's a lesson for everyone. :yes
-
I basicly don't care what happens just as long as the movie/charcters are good and I hoping we don't start anything here. ;)
-
You know, those two characters probably aren't permanent; there have never been two permanent characters of the same species in the group of seven main characters. And they are based on real, not imaginary, animals (although the movie takes its liberties in designing them.)
-
Thanks for being a great admin as always Action!
*Sigh* This happens between us quite often. It is true that I was unaware of your involvment in...uhhhh...Imaginary creatures? I did not mean any offence in any way.
Calling another person's idea stupid, whether it's fact or opinion, is generally not a good way to get on somebody's good side.
I had no idea it was Darkhououmon's idea, otherwise I would have kept my mouth shut.
LBTlover, please try to be more careful with wording in the future, especially if you want to avoid future conflicts such as these.
Sorry. I'm a nervous wreck right now. I didn't mean offence.
-
I removed the post. Just forget anything I said.
-
I removed the post. Just forget anything I said.
Your response was a bit hostile, but It was understandable. You'll have to understand that I can be a bit...blunt without even realizing it. You viewed my comment as hostile, even though It was not intended to be. I need to word things more...diplomatically. It is very difficult for me and I just want you to know that I do not mean offence to you or anyone else on this board. I'm sorry we're so different, but we must reach an understanding with each other unless we want more misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
Please, if you have anything more to say to me, PM me or meet me on MSN. I don't want this topic to be contaminated any more than it has been. Now, let's get back on topic. :yes
-
Do you think I could use the picture of the new charcters as my avitar? :D
-
Do you think I could use the picture of the new charcters as my avitar?
They're not my characters, so I can't give you permission, but you do whatever you want.
-
:unsure: :unsure: :unsure:
Uhhh...all's well that ends well???
I hope....
-
Thanks and I also like to ask before I use something.
-
Just copy the image address and in "My Controls" you can paste the URL. I don't see why anyone would have trouble with it.
-
I made this little animated gif image for you if you want it. It switches between characters. It's only 39k.
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/tlordame/character-gifFINAL.gif)
-
I go to church and this is what I come back too. At least it got straightened out. B)
Anyway, I don't actually see these two becoming apart of the gang of five in this new sequel because of the probability of it's being set before the TV series. However, I also believe that experimenting with new characters instead of the same crew is a good idea. Get some variety in here! Don't over-change things, but keep them fresh at the same time. I think that done correctly, these two will turn out great.
-
Kacie and Austin,
I want a PM of what you told each other. I need to know what went on here because I think this isn't the first time I've seen you two butting heads.
Now back on topic please. :yes
-
Is it just me, or does the igunadon from the third movie appear in the trailer along with L00%@# and D00%@#? (Their names are too stupid to mention... maybe I'll mention them later if they prove to be reasonably compelling characters.)
-
The title doesn't sound like the last LBT. Hm...
Or it is just me... :unsure:
-
Well it doesn't sound like the last one. -_-
-
The titles don't usually bother me....I just wait for the movie to release and then I make a judgement call...but that's just me....I am kinda excited to see a new movie so soon though.... :)
-
Do we even have a vague release date of any kind?
-
I've seen fourth quarter of this year on a couple of websites, but I'm not expecting it for a while.
-
Two movies released in one year? That was fast... (if it's true...)
-
Well if that happens it wouldn't be the first time two movies were released in one year. :lol:
-
What websites did you find that out Stich?
-
Here's a link:
eFilmCritic.com (http://efilmcritic.com/feature.php?feature=1214) (It's in the 2007 and beyond section, at the bottom of the page)
-
Do you think that website is trust worthy.
-
I wouldn't put it past a site like that to post false information. I've seen more reputable sites (i.e., not Wikipedia) lie before, so why should a site like that be trusted?
-
I'm extremely sceptical about what I am seeing.
I have been wrong before when it comes to misgivings about a future land before time movie (I was rather upset about the impressions the cover of LBT 9 gave while the movie turned out to be one of my favorites) and I hope... I pray that I will be wrong once again. I really don't feel good about this.
As for changes in general some are really important for the story to go on. With no changes at all there would be nothing left to tell. Yet if it comes to such elemental questions as continuing LBT with a completely different set of characters I'm strictly opposed to such a step. The land before time characters are a very good selection of individuals and I'm really, really fond of them. I wouldn't want to have them reduced to background elements or worse for the sake of other characters. In that case one might just as well start an entirely new story (which would probably be accused of being an LBT rippoff right away).
Change just for the sake of change is not necessarily a good thing. One notable element about the changes we have seen in LBT as far as new characters are concerned is that those changes rarely had a lasting effect. Chomper, and Tria are the only characters so far who appeared in more than one sequel with a role that consisted of more than a glimpse (such as those we got on Mo in two sequels other than LBT 9). If characters or changes in general are introduced just for one sequel to be discarded without so much as the tyniest reference to them in the next sequel I wonder if that could be considered a change at all.
-
Is out on DVD? The clip wasn't clear on that, it doesn't sound that bad, but it looks like were not gonna find out how Chomper and Ruby came to be in the Great Valley. I think this is more of a comical sequel.
-
Well if that happens it wouldn't be the first time two movies were released in one year.
Oh god! Help me! These movies are coming off an assembly line! I don't think it's gonna be too good cuz they made it so fast. I dunno though. LBT 9 was noticablly rushed and it didn't suck...
-
Can't argue with that landbeforetimelover -_-
-
Holy delay, Batman! Am I ever late getting here!
Well, as my cousin's computer is slower than molasses, I could not, at the current time, view the alleged "video clip" of the so-called "The Land Before Time XIII" supposedly subtitled "The Wisdom of Friends".
I can, however, provide my thoughts upon first seeing the image of Loofah and Doofah so kindly provided by one "landbeforetimelover".
*ahem*
AGH!
And although incapable of viewing previously mentioned video clip, I can assure you that I went almost immediately from suprise at the new characters to pant-wetting giddyness at the thought that a new LBT movie is well on the way.
Thank you, that will be all. No further questions, please.
-
That can't be right at all cause I can tell you now. And this is FACT that Aria just last month did some more voice records for LBT 13 on July 19th so there is not a chance that is coming out on the later half of this year. That information could change but at this time I strongly disagree with that website, full stop.
-
YES!!!!!! They're not rushing it! :D I was afraid they were gonna throw it out there just to make a quick buck and not give a crap about how good it was.
One thing that confused me is "the wisdom of friends" is not in the LBT sequals list on the official site. Maybe this is a new move or something? In the announcements for LBT 12, they called it "the land before time 12 - the great day of the fliers". I'd think they'd mention it as "the land before time 13 - the wisdom of friends" if it really was in fact the 13th sequal.
-
Also Play.com ususally good at showing new DVD release dates even before it out. And they did give the right date for LBT 12 when it came out in the UK. They do not even display LBT 13 yet on the US site of Play.com so at the moment this is what I believe there is no real release date for LBT 13 at this time.
Also checked at Walmart.com and Amazon.com there is no release date for LBT 13, if it that close to that later quarter these sites would of showed it as well.
-
"The Wisdom of Friends."
What does that mean, exactly? Does it mean that all friends have wisdom as part of their "friend-ness"? :huh:
Or does it mean that it is wise to have friends? (If that's what it means there's a missing word in the title.)
Whatever it means, why is it worth a whole movie?
On the new characters: I'm guessing they are therizinosaurs. Not that I have anything against therizinosaurs. ;)
However, when the guest characters keep getting weirder, it can only mean one thing: the writers are running out of ideas.
As for the names of these guest characters, they sound like the names of a forgotten pair of Teletubbies. Were it not for the copyright issues, why not call them "Oompa" and "Loompa" instead?
-
Like I said, I'm not surprised they're running out of ideas. After all, 12 sequals and a full TV Series means plenty of good ideas used up. If you are all hyped up about the names, maybe the names aren't quite official yet. They could change it at any given time like they did with Ovie to Ruby.
I doubt they would change the tatic of giving names after all this time. Ruby is the one of the few exceptions. Based on the believed species, what do you think would be a good alternative name for them, one that would at least make you feel better? :)
-
I see no reason not to continue the old tradition of taking the character name out of the dinosaur name. For example, "Harry." (Therizinosaurus.)
Perhaps we are mistaken about the intended species ("Loofah"=Lufengosaurus?)
Then again, those new characters have feathers sprouting from their heads, so I doubt that's the case.
-
I don't think this will be LBt 13. for onbe the new character's names are too silly. but on the other habd, what else do you expect from a series that has been geared to toddlers anbd little kids for awhile now?
-
The "silly" names are just there. We can't do anything about them. Like you said, this series isn't exactly geared towards the average age group on this board. I think there's a good chance we're dealing with LBT 13. Besides, didn't it say "a brand new movie" or something like that?
-
Yeah I agree with Manny. If it wasn't LBT13, why would they say it's an "all-new movie"?
-
Yeah I agree with Manny. If it wasn't LBT13, why would they say it's an "all-new movie"?
Can't argue there. Sometimes a pilot epidsode is long enough (one hour) to be considered film length...but what's this then...season 2?
-
I don't think they would started making such elaborate advertising on a single episode in a TV series on the official LBT webpage. It is very likely to be the long announced 13th movie whether we like the names or not :unsure:
-
'Kay, got back to my computer, saw the video clip and I must say, I'm quite confused as to what all the negativity is about. Seems like just another LBT movie to me. There's really nothing to worry about IMO.
The names? Nah. A name ruins not a movie. I don't even find them the worst in the series. To me, Loofah and Doofah >>>>> Tickles.
The species? Actually, I like that they keep making new characters based on species I've never heard of. Keeps things fresh and fun. And I'll take a wierd new species over those freakin' imaginary friends any day.
Really, from where I stand the only thing dissappointing about the clip is that we get no clear indication that XIII will provide the story for Ruby and Chomper coming to the Valley.
Oh, and "All New Movie" kinda leaves absolutely no room for doubt in my mind that this is indeed The Land Before Time XIII.
-
I just have a really bad feeling about this one... :(
Well.....13 is an unlucky number after all... :unsure:

Nonsense. My dad's born on a Friday the 13th. I can't say I never regretted that he was -_-
If we want to comment on the movie we should stick to what little facts we have rather than to superstitions.
-
Friday the 13th is my lucky day, every exam and test I made on that day I aced it :D
As for the movie itself, we only have that short clip from the landbeforetime official website, they brought in a couple of award winning actors, it looks like it's going to be a pretty comical sequel. As for the new characters, they poorly represent therizinosaurs, but hey, at least they're not making up dinos.

I was joking around <_<
But I guess it does look a bit.....well....different. Hopefully it should be good.
-
Every sequel that i saw a trailer for i thought would be rubbish but then i just loved them after seeing it for the first time. i'm gonna have a loooooooong wait for it though. we got great day of the flyers in the UK almost a year after it came out in the USA. <_<
-
Will this be the last movie of The Land Before Time?
-
Doubtful. I've never heard anything to indicate this, but you can never know.
-
i'm gonna have a loooooooong wait for it though.
Get someone in the US to deregionaize the disk and send you a copy. :rolleyes:
-
Teresa, I think you're wrong. The Great of the Flyers came out in Portugal the same time it did in the US, and I did see it on amazon.co.uk at the same time, so it was out in the UK, at the same time as the US. Now it first came out in Australia, a few months before the US and Europe, you're probably confused.
-
I don't think that "wisdom of friends' will be the title. Just a gut guess...Frankly, the series needs to have a dramatic event, the sequels are starting to run together.. for me at least..
-

I'm not superstitious myself. I don't believe 13 is an unlucky number. I was born on the 13th of November, and I had my 13th birthday on Friday the 13th. Nothing bad ever happened that day. Nothing out of the ordinary.
About this movie, I'll probably give it a chance. I've seen the other movies (mostly anyway). Maybe this movie will turn out to be pretty good.
-
Alright I don't know what to say, but someone here or somewhere else posted a date for this movie. The date is November 18,2007. The only thing I have to say is that it's either a fake or it's real. I don't know cause I've seen movies come out early before the orginal date. ;)
-
By the way if the date is real I'm just going to wait and see.
-

The information is official. It can be found at www.landbeforetime.com. Once before a title was published and then underwent a little change. LBT 10 was first announced as "The Great Migration" and later on the word longneck was added. If they put the title up on the official page (which was not the case with the earlier version of LBT 10's title) I don't expect any changes of the title.
Of course I might be proven wrong.
-
I don't see The Wisdom of Friends as a bad title, at least it's no Invasion of the Tinysaureses. Like that new guy was saying, is there a date? There was no new information in the official site, I remember browsing through a DVD page and they had something about a late 2007 / early 2008 release, but still I can't say for sure.
-
My thoughts:
There's not really much to go on. Only a small part of that video is actually related to The Wisdom of Friends. The rest is just scenes form other movies and the series.
The shots from TWOF only show the gang of five, no Ruby or Chomper. I think it is unlikely they'll be in this movie.
I'm concerned that the video shows every member of the gang by name, including Chomper, but not Ruby. I hope this doesn't mean they plan to write her out of the series. :(
-
^ "The Wisdom of Friends" is to be a regular sequel though, not an episode of the TV series.
-
I'm still feeling sick to my stomach. This may be the death of the LBT sequals as we know it. :( :cry
I may have to just pretend it doesn't exist and pretend they stopped at LBT 12 if it sucks.
-
Why is nearly everybody convinced that this movie will be a total disaster!? I'm really looking forward to it's release. I'm not going to condemn it just because they're going to put in a couple of guest characters (that we're likely not to even hear from again), and I'm SURE not going to judge it by it's cover.
-
Didn't anyone think that the "Tinysaureses" would ruin the series? The movie turned out okay; I'm (mostly) sure this will be tolerable as well.
-
Personally, I think I would probably like it no matter what. The only thing is, I would REALLY like it if the frickin' creator didn't follow the criticism of his like....7 year old kid! Geeze! I mean, I know it's aimed at kids...but what do 7 year olds know about creating stories! And also, it's more than just kids that watch it. I enjoy the movie, but apparently I am not an audience member that matters. It's just the whole little sugar-coatedness that bothers me...
......okay, rant over. >.>
-
SO am I -_-
-
I'm extremely sceptical about what I am seeing.
I have been wrong before when it comes to misgivings about a future land before time movie (I was rather upset about the impressions the cover of LBT 9 gave while the movie turned out to be one of my favorites) and I hope... I pray that I will be wrong once again. I really don't feel good about this.
I am not yet convinced that it will be be "total disaster" but what the trailer shows does not stir any hopes that it will be a movie of the quality of the earlier sequels.
Didn't anyone think that the "Tinysaureses" would ruin the series? The movie turned out okay; I'm (mostly) sure this will be tolerable as well.
Tolerable yes, but I am not satisfied with a land before time movie being "tolerable". As a land before time fan I want to see movies which I really like not just movies which I can only just tolerate. For that reason I cannot second this:
Personally, I think I would probably like it no matter what.
Sometimes I do feel kind of like being a member of a species which is dieing out. The future probably belongs to those land before time fans who don't take the movies as serious as far as coherency and "realism" are concerned. Realism is of course a questionable term if it comes to movies about talking dinosaurs, but I'm talking about the kind of unrealism which we have for example if dino kids trip sharpteeth by crawling under their feet or make their escape from a sharptooth's mouth by tickling it.
I have very little hope to ever see a land before time movie again about which I can feel the same way as I do about the original movie and the older sequels. I hope to be wrong! :(
But if I am not I still have my own imagination to cling to. :rolleyes:
-
I know something about this and what I know is this is based before Ruby and Chomper arrived. That what I was told this was done before the TV Series even begain and they already had started working on the movie and half way done when the TV Series was made and came on.
That what I was told about this :)
-

It was tolerable, but it wasn't good in my opinion. It's my least favorite sequal. <_<
The only thing that was good was the tinysauruses were cute.
-
So, this appears to be before Chomper and Ruby arrive... will this be the final time we see the original five characters without the two additions?
-
I would personally hate it if Ruby and Chomper appeared in a sequal. I don't think I'd like the sequals anymore if they did that. They need to keep those characters as main characters exclusive to the tv series in my opinion.
-
They could just do the old method of what they've done with new charcters for years with Ruby. That's basically having them around for one sequal then just dumping them. :lol:
So, if we do have a sequal with Ruby and Chomper in it, I don't think we'll have to really worry about sticking to the original GOF in the sequals.
I'm guessing this is the long awaited beginning we've been hoping to see with the TV Series. Here's hoping! :^.^:
-

This does not make sense. It could be the cause of continuity errors between the movies and the TV series. No, I think they should include them in at least one sequel. If need be, come up with a reason they leave the Great Valley, but I wouldn't mind seeing them for a couple more after that. And as far as hating it if either one of them appeared in a sequel, Chomper has already appeared in two sequels, so he'd be no newcomer to the big screen. I find this a tad disturbing.
And I doubt this will be the beginning of the TV series, seeing as they might not even appear. This is what we're being led to believe, anyway. However, they just may not be showing the footage with Chomper and Ruby in the movie. We may be in for a surprise. However, it's looking grim at this point, and Threehorn's statements only solidifies what we've been hearing. We can only speculate and wait.
-
I think they should never actually have Ruby and Chomper appear in a sequal together. I think at the end of the tv series, they should have Ruby and Chomper go away for some reason and in one of the sequals (such as LBT 13) they could have some reference to Ruby and Chomper but never actually put them in there. Like the gang could be trying to do something like cross a waterfall or they're in some sorta situation and they could think "gosh, I wish ruby were here" and go into a short explaination of how they knew each other and why she left. If they did that, it would make it seem like the tv series took place between LBT 12 and LBT 13, thereby not having Ruby or Comper in any sequal at all whatsoever! I can honestly say that I do not like Ruby at all as a character because she really serves no purpose. Chomper is okay, but I still think that there should only be guest characters appearing in every sequal and the gang of five should always remain "the gang of five".
Ruby is just some sorta weird dino that travels around with the gang just cuz she's got nothing better to do. Very weird. I wouldn't be too sad if she left in the next tv ep I saw. Not one bit. In fact, I'd probably start jumping for joy. Even if they do include Ruby into a sequal, I will never consider her to be a true member of the gang, nor will I accept Chomper. They can come in here and there in some sequals, but if they start including them in everything, I'm gonna be very disappointed. :(
-
I personally see nothing wrong with including Ruby and Chomper in LBT13. As Manny pointed out, it would really help with the continuity. If they don't appear, then there's a gap between the movies and the show itself.
I'm actually hoping they include Ruby and Chomper in LBT13. The movie would be more interesting, in my opinion, if Ruby and Chomper are included.
You would stop watching the sequels just because Ruby and Chomper might appear in LBT13? That seems rather extreme. I don't see any reason to stop watching a sequel just because two characters you don't like show up in a movie.
-
The only thing is, I would REALLY like it if the frickin' creator didn't follow the criticism of his like....7 year old kid! Geeze! I mean, I know it's aimed at kids...but what do 7 year olds know about creating stories!
Whoa whoa, hold up! What makes you think the director is taking advice from his 7 year old kid?
-
If it's no longer the gang of five, it's no longer the land before time that it was in my opinion. The land before time would have lost something special. It would have moved on to the cheap and fast way to make a buck. Just including more characters and ruining the originality and quality of the original gang of five is a bad deal to me. If Ruby and Chomper become a part of the gang perminently , that's it for me and LBT. They've gone far enough with the sequals that get more and more child like with each passing one. I do tolerate them because they're still the same original characters that I know and love, but if they're gonna take that away from it, it's not worth watching in my opinion. LBT 12 was great, but Loofa and Doofa is too much unless they give those characters a purpose (and they'd better give them a damned good one too to excuse those rediculous names!).
Ruby and Chomper would be great guest characters, but anything beyond that would just suck. <_< I'm all in favor of guest characters, but adding to the original gang of five is too much in my opinion.
-
I don't see what makes you think they'll become part of the gang permanently. Look at previous LBT movies, and there have been other occasions where a new character or two joined the gang on an adventure, and even became friends. But they never became a permanent part of the gang.
Ruby and Chomper most likely will not become permanent members. Remember, Ruby is only there to learn how to stop Redclaw, then she'll most likely move back with her family. And I'm sure Chomper's parents would want him back soon as well when Redclaw is stopped. Plus, due to his species, Chomper can't stay in the valley for too long.
I don't agree that Ruby serves no purpose. If this were the case, then she would be just a side character in the show, only occasionally appearing. But because she is one of the main characters, she definitely has a purpose in the series, along with Chomper.
-
Ruby does have a purpose...to even out the gender roles. If they just added Chomper, there'd be 4 males and 2 females. That wouldn't work out too well. If they didn't become perminent members of the gang, It'd be fine, but if they do, I'm making an ammendment to my username all over the web from "landbeforetimelover" to "landbeforetimelover(1-12)"
-
I don't agree with that. A main character is not added just to "even out the gender" thing.
-
What do you think Ruby's purpose is?
-
To be honest, I am not entirely sure at this point. But as I said, main characters aren't introduced just to fill up space or even out anything. They're only added if they are to play an important role. But sometimes, main characters' purposes aren't fully known until near the end.
I would have to wait until more episodes (or even the finale) comes out before I can come up with any idea on what Ruby's purpose would be.
But if I had to guess right now, I would say that Ruby's purpose is to bring a philosophic view on the show or something.
-
Well, this is getting really off topic. I've been spending too much time in an instant messenger and I'm treating the board the same way! :P:
Let's please get back on topic now. The wisdom of friends! :D
-
lol :p
I will probably give this movie a chance. I admit I'm not too keen on Loofah and Doofah's names. But I'll probably get used to them.
-
Unbalanced gender roles? Just look at the original power rangers: They had four men and two women, plus a pink girl ranger (note that Tria, Tricia, Ruby, and Sue from the tenth movie are all pink females), a yellow Asian girl ranger, and my favorite... the black black ranger.

A possible lead to when LBT 13 is coming out.
http://daddydaze.net/2007/08/30/daddy-daze...ellen-cockrill/ (http://daddydaze.net/2007/08/30/daddy-daze-interview-universals-senior-vp-of-amination-ellen-cockrill/)
this might not be ture but it just another lead to the release of LBT 13.
Some might see this coming out too soon but for Universal this could be the lift they need to keep LBT going!
4th of December be a perfect time for the release, you will have people wanting to get it for their kids as a christmas present which in a way is a good point to being that date if it ture.
I'll keep you up todate for what I might find out :)
-
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this. If this does come to pass, will it be the first time two movies were released in one year?
-
I don't think so, but I'm not into the US release thing. I still haven't bought LBT 12, still waiting for the price to drop from 17 to 9 euros, it shouldn't take long.
As for no 13, Christmas time is always a great time to put this kind of movies on the market, it's a clever marketing scheme from Universal, kudoos.
-
LBT 12 came a little late for Christmas on US shelves, where new LBT movies normally are released around Christmas.
-
With LBT 12 it was released over 2 months before USA in New Zealand, work that out. if it wasn't for that LBT 12 would of been 2006, it was complete for a while but the release date was being put back and back and yet again back.
This time I hope it goes up before Christmas, if it does that means I can order it and get it here in the UK just before Chrismas or even my own Birthday :) that be grand enough for me :D
-
Hmm, the website not only mentioned LBT 13 coming out December 7th, but also about 4 new books coming out as well. Could at least one of them be LBT related? ;) Here's hoping. :^.^:
-
I seen serveral movies come out in one year. I believe one of them was SAW.
-
SAW? What does that mean?
-
SAW is the name of a horror movie. I don't think SAW stands for anything.
-
But that was completely random. It had nothing to do with the discussion or what I asked at all. :blink: I was saying that this may be the first time two LBT movies were released in one year (unless it's happened before).
-
That was being used as an example of what happens when two movies are released. But back to the Wisdom of Friends.
-
Question here. I wonder who is the other guy in the trailer? Do any of you guys have any speculations? Cause you see I have been wondering about this ever since the trailer came out and has left a question mark on my head for a while. -_-
-
I've been wondering that myself. Why wouldn't they mention him? Why "2 new friends" instead of 3? I can't really see any reason to ignore him.
And on a side note, when I went to re-watch the clip just now, I suddenly remembered something that's been pissing me off for a few months: during the clip, when Petrie is mentioned, it shows a clip from GDotF, and for whatever moronic reason, they replaced his original laughter with some other crap. Some other incredibly annoying and wrath-provoking crap. What the hell would they do that for? Whoever did that really needs to be punched. In the balls.
With brass knuckles.
-
that laugh is only in LBT 12 when he fly into the sky before rejoining his brothers and sisters. they just kept that there when saying the names out that all that is.
