I don't think animation means what you think it means xD

animation is the frame by frame work of motion and expression, not the colors, style, backgrounds, sound, etc.

The point is, the early sequels are just beautiful, and it hurts to see people saying the exact same thing about the later ones, because it makes me feel silly for liking the old ones, even though I truly do and can't express how much I do, while those who love the later ones can.

and it hurts me to see someone saying that the animators of the first sequels knew what they were doing, meaning that the animators of the later ones didn't. it's liek you generally saying that animation in later sequels is bad. and you think it doesn't hurt me to read such messages as a fan of the later sequels animation?

Bruton the Iguanodon I never said animation of the newer sequels is closer to original in style. I meant the overall quality. I meant that the first sequels tried keeping the original style but in my opinion they mostly failed due to lower budget. While since 7-th on the other hand, the animation, while changed in style was better in quality
also you speaking about LBT 10 opening as if it was the whole movie. but in reality it was just a little part of it and you shoudn't judge the whole movie animation by a small part of it

not sure the link works but I made this vid long ago to demonstrate how beautiful LBT sequels(since 7-th movie) were

I really don't understand how can someone not like this animation. I think it's among the greatest animations in history

They started using more and more digital elements from LBT 7 on. Some people say it looks better, some though say it's horrible...
 

What do you mean digital erlements? all I can remember at the moment is the 3D mountain in LBT 7 opening and terrible-looking CG log Cera and her dad were pushing in LBT 9. Other than those extremely rare things almost all of it made in hand-drawn 2D animation. Sure it was drawn on computers later on but it's still hand-drawn, not 3D which is so popular nowdays or cheap-looking flash animation. LBT 7 and laters sequels are nothing like that.

yeah I can cut sound out like that as well. Had to do it a few times with some other movies and shows before, hate when composers don't make soundtrack releases or don't put certain soundtracks in their release. thanks for your effort though! and yeah I would love to hear which soundtracks you can suggest, in a PM of course not to flood the topic

it would have been absolutely awesome of you tried that though I myself aware of how much that can ruin the quality though. anyway, thank you again for the incredible soundtracks! I have just listened to my other favorite soundtracks from LBT 12(the sleepwalks a, e and f), they are just incredible and softened the blow from LBT 7 soundtrack not having the one I was looking for
Music was definitely one of the highlights of LBT 12

what makes them good? incredible animation(some of the best 2D animation in animation history, one of reasons I love these movies so much is because they kept it traditional instead of going into 3D like most of others did.)
absolutely amazing(occasionally) songs, outstanding voice acting(Jeff Bennett being my favorite), which, mind you didn't get worse even in the TV series. Decent storylines, not all of sequels of course, but most of them, had an interesting enough story, my favorite being Stone of Cold Fire
Great music. Again - my favorite was in Stone of Cold Fire. I'd even say the sequels pretty much surpassed the original movie. I do wish however they were a little darker, like original movie, movies 7 an 10, and weren't too light-hearted like movies 11-13 were

Thomas Dekker all the way. Absolutely love Littlefoot's voice in my favorite sequels(7-9)
Edit- oh just found out Thomas Dekker was nominated for his voice acting in Stone of Cold Fire, as Well as Michael York for voicing Pterano

I always thought he's a teenager. Judging by his size and voice.

if you compre the first couple movies and the last ones, yes, they definitely grew, Not much, but yeah I think something like 3-4 years passed overall
