If any other news is discovered post your findings in this thread. :)

Oh...just to verify. Invasion of the Tinysauruses IS the official title for LBT 11! The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) now has it posted up as the official heading but there is no new info on it just yet. Best keep an eye on it coz I have always seen this as the most realible source when it comes to future movie releases and info on practically every Film and TV known...
If I find anything new up there, I'll slap it up in here!
-
So now the title is official.
Strange, that they are still so miserly with further information on it. I suppose that either they are going to let us know more about it within the next days, or that for some reason they changed their "information policy" and won't release any information until shortly before the movie itself is released.
What do you think of this title?
-
I hate it... It's one of those titles that makes me stay away from watching it.. hopefully the movie will be a lot better than the title
-
I have no idea what that title means. :unsure: It doesn't necessarily mean a carnivore though you would think of that since the carnivores can't easily access the Great Valley.
-
I reckon its got something to do with a sudden influx of tiny saurians (possibly Compsognathuses, I just call 'em Compys for short) and basically they make a pest of themselves causing the residents of the GV to become angry and fight to get rid of them. I dont necessarily think that they mean any potential harm but maybe just a massive herd of them move in as an invitation from Grandpa as he always seems to be very open and welcoming to all travellers who happen to wander into the GV. Maybe the wise old longneck makes a slip up and his generosity gets the better of him this time. I dunno...just a hunch I thought could happen but Im just as sceptically about it as you guys!
-
just a hunch I thought could happen but Im just as sceptically about it as you guys!
Or just as confused or muddled. :P
-
Maybe the wise old longneck makes a slip up and his generosity gets the better of him this time.
I seriously doubt that they would do that in the story, simply because it could be understood as a bad message to children ("See? Don't ever be too generous" or "Watch it that there are not too many strange newcommers around you.") This would really be a very unlikely message for an LBT movie. Perhaps it is possible though in case the outcome of the story sends just the opposite messages.
-
Im not necessarily saying that that is the moral behind the story coz I am sure that this isnt the case. I can just see that sort of thing being held against Grandpa Longneck by someone like Mr. Threehorn seeing how quick to judge he is. I dunno...I may have got it all wrong! Maybe they just turn up unexpectedly like the plague of locusts in LBT 5 but I can still imagine that they are gonna run riot in the Great Valley. Just the word "INVASION" is enough to imply that I reckon. Still...only time will tell.
-
I had an idea that wasn't commented... I think that maybe we shouldn't look at the word Invasion with that importance... My idea was that maybe Littlefoot and the gang went to a place with small dinossaurs of species that looked like theirs but were a lot smaller. There have been found a lot of smaller versions of big dinosaurs like Apatosaurus and some species of Stegosauridae that out lived their bigger cousins in about 50 milion years due to isolation in small islands and things like that. Another idea I had was that does small dinossaurs came to live in the great valley and started eating and anoying the other habitants of the valley. I don't think that idea of the compys as any base since we can see in LBT 4 when the gang is searching for Littlefoot that small insect eating carnivors like compys live in the great valley, and carnivors can't talk with the leaf eatters so they couldn't reach any agreement with grandpa. I do think that maybe they could attack the valley like the grasshopers in lbt 5, anyway this is just what I think...
-
Not a bad bit of critical thinking there NewOrder. ;) I think anything can be a possibility this soon as we have nothing else to go on so far.
-
Good thinking new order. It could be that way. However, where did you see small insect eating carnivors in the Great Valley of LBT 4? The only time I recall an insect being eaten in LBT was in the second movie, when Chomper did this.
-
I don't remember if it actually ate the insect, but it was clearly an insect eater, it's when cera, ducky, petrie and spike are out looking for Littlefoot before they found out he had gone with Ali to the land of the mists, you see ducky running through a small stream and Petrie flying right next to a small carnivore who's hunting an insect.
-
Yes, indeed that beast doesn't look like a herbivoure. So it seems like insecteaters are tollerated in the Great Valley. This thing however looks like it could also go after eggs or the smallest dinosaur hatchlings like an omnivore. Another thing I'm not sure about is, if this animal or insects and also some other small animals are considered the same way humans would consider animals.
For example when Chomper eats that dragonfly in LBT 2 it sure gives Littlefoot a thrill, but he doesn't freak out like he'd probably if Chomper had chosen on a little dinosaur of the same kind.
Another thing I've been wondering about are scavengers. Actually there have to be scavengers in the Great Valley, otherwise the ecosystem wouldn't work. But how would the herbivours deal with scavengers?
-
In a normal ecosystim herbivores would have to live side by side with carnivors or there would be no control of the population and soon enough the great valley would be to small, but this is a cartoon we can't be to scientific with it, cause small kids just don't think way. For example, we all know the story of the 3 little pigs, when we're small we like to see the wolf get his ass kicked (pardon my french =p) but when we grow up we see that wolves are on the erge of extinction and that pigs are responsable for the extinction of animals like the Dodo... Anyway, what matters is that kids don't think so far so the producers won't think like that, maybe they should to bring a more sence of realism to the movies but it can also take away some of their magic if you turn it too real
-
Maybe I'm choosing on too tough stuff for land before time stories, but in fact I have a plotline that involves at least one scavenger, in mind. Much less LBT like ideas have been uttered for stories before, and LBT is not exactly shy to deal with the topic of death. Just think of the Mysterious Beyond landscapes in LBT 2 or 3. Decayed dinosaur bodies everywhere!
As for Dodos, one cannot blame pigs for their extinction. Pigs plundered nests of Dodos, and thus destroyed their descendance. However, who brought the pigs to that island of Mauritius? It's not like they swam there. And the humans who brought the pigs there also hunted Dodo's to eat them and thus did an even more direct contribution to the extinction of the Dodo's than through the import of pigs.
(Weird what turn an LBT 11 discussion takes). ;)
-
Lol yeah this things happen..
I know that humans are to blame for pratically all the extinctions of the last millenium, but I was just trying to make a point about how the kids that LBT is targeted for think =p

Hi!
A cover of LBT XI has now been released. You can find it (in black and white) at: http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?c=4958&s=1 (http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?c=4958&s=1) The release date is January 11th 2005 (I don't get why they are wasting money by not releasing it BEFORE christmas).
It looks like the Tinysauruses are little longnecks. The text on the page also says a bit about the story itself:
"Universal has announced Land Before Time Volume XI: The Invasion of the Tinysauruses which is an all-new direct to video animated adventure. This time around the Tinysauruses invade the valley to teach Littlefoot a big lesson about a little lie. The disc will be available to own from the 11th January this year, priced at around $19.98. The film itself will be presented in 1.33:1 full frame along with an English Dolby Digital track. Extras will include a Land Before Time music video and sing-along songs from all eleven Land Before Time adventures. We've attached a black and white shot of the official artwork below."
A big lesson about a little lie? It sounds a bit like the lesson in LBT 8. The cover looks quite different from the covers we have seen so far. It's the first time there is only Littlefoot and non of the other maincharacters. This picture of Littlefoot (his face at least) has been used before already, for example on the cover of LBT 8. Maybe there are still different versions of the cover to come up (it was that way when LBT 8 appeared, where at first they had a cover released with a grownup spiketail in the place of Tippy).
I'm sure that now there is going to be more information on LBT 11 up soon. I checked imdb already, but there are no more information yet. Maybe in just a few hours or days.
-
Little Longnecks? \: I don't like the idea, but I guess my theory was sort of right... Anyway, I think this is gonna be one of those lbt that I won't wanna watch but in the end I'll just love it, at least I hope it's like that, cause so far I hate it \:
-
Erk, I got a bad feeling about this one. :unsure: Just seeing that cover and all the little longnecks....and how happy Littlefoot is....brothers and sisters....more family.....
I'll be honest with you guys....I will NOT buy this one like when I rushed with the last one (LBT X) because I wasn't too pleased with it in the end. Maybe I'll rent this one first (for the sake of landbeforetime.org) but unless I really enjoy it like I did the ninth one I won't buy my own copy.
I hate to say it, but sometimes you can only go so far before you fall flat on your face and have milked a franchise to death. I think the peak of the sequels was at LBT 5 when they met Chomper again, but it will just keep going downhill from there. LBT IX was nice but VII, VIII, and X were subpar to me. <_<

Release Date: January 11th 2005
I was looking at amazon.com and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...?v=glance&s=dvd (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000667GIW/qid=1098132303/sr=1-14/ref=sr_1_14/104-5586526-9125538?v=glance&s=dvd)
It has the price and a release date but not any other information
-
Everyone has their own opinions on which sequels they like but personally...I prefer the latter series of sequels to the first lot. I'm quite looking forward to this new LBT film no matter what it has in terms of a plot. Learning a big lesson from a little lie huh... sounds kinda fishy but I am certainly gonna be first in line for its release. I treasure all the LBT films and its obvious that Im gonna favour certain sequels over others and people are liable to have different views but it seems as though Im the only one who prefers Grosvenor's set of sequels to Smith's. I cant deny that Smith has done an excellent job with his sequels and created some of the most unforgetable characters the saga has ever seen but I seem to stand alone with me opinions. Anyways, Im looking forward to #11 even if others are not. Im still trying to get all of 'em on PAL DVD but they only started from #8! Hope they're gonna bring the rest out on DVD region 2. Seem a bit pointless to just have a handful on DVD and the rest on VHS

Hi Littlefoot-1616!
Your message could've been written by me, just with the sequels the other way round. As for the sequels I definitely prefer LBT 2 - 6 from those produced ever since, with the definite exception of LBT 9, which I really liked. I don't like any mysteries that are not really kept a mystery, like the rainbowfaces for example. I also take it very awry if sequels contradict earlier movies like LBT 8 and in particular LBT 10, and also the sharpteeth in these two sequels were too harmless for my taste. Also I do not like the effects like everything (including the characters) turning red in case of danger, color plays such as deep green skies or lava or strongly varying colors of the main characters, and photo realistic backgrounds behind the drawn characters. These are my points of criticism about these later sequels.
Like you are not thinking bad about Roy Alan Smith in general I don't think bad of Charles Grosvenor either.
However, I'd be very interested which are your points of criticism about the earlier sequels.
One quote from your mail that I definitely oppose (I almost suspect that you made a failure in writing there) is:I cant deny that Smith has done an excellent job with his sequels and created some of the most unforgetable characters the saga has ever seen but I seem to stand alone with me opinions.
Do you really think the only one who doesn't deny that Smith has created some excelent characters? I think a majority of people would vote for Chomper or Ali as their favorite characters except for the five main characters.
I rather think you meant to write that you consider yourself a minority favoring the later sequels of Grosvenor over the earlier ones from Smith. You know, actually I consider myself a minority with my dislike of Grosvenor's later sequels (when I speak of them I mean LBT 7, 8 and 10). There is little resonance for my criticism of these sequels and I'm definitely one of very few people who don't appreciate of crossing over stories, human involvement, or ideas of letting the characters grow up. Though Grosvenor doesn't do any of these either his involving of aliens and mysterious stuff is what comes closest to a crossing over story throughout the LBT series. Actually Littlefoot-1616 I'm afraid (no disrespect meant by that formulation) you are not the one who represents a minority among LBT fans. Please don't blame me for regretting this :(
-
Hey! It's no biggy Malte! :D I think I didnt quite come across as I meant to. The quote you picked out from my last post (now I've re-read it) didnt actually represent exactly what I meant to say. Rather foolish but... :huh: I guess I just prefer how Grosvenor's movies seem to develop a little bit more in terms of animation and style. Has anyone actually watched LBT films in succession and noticed the difference in how the movies are presented? Smith's are very firm and rigid in terms of change (hope that sounds how it's supposed to sound... i.e. degrading. Not intentional if it did). Great in its own right in that it is established and viewers know what to expect from say "A Roy Allen Smith LBT Flick". Where I think the divide lies between the two directors is in their techniques and perceptions in how the LBT world should look and flow as a film. Once Grosvenor takes over as director, between 5, 6, 7 and 8-10 there seems to be very gradual changes in the style of animation. The biggest jump, I reckon, is in #7. The cel-animation in that seems a completely new twist compared to the others that we've already previously witnessed. Another extreme example of this sort of animation change (non LBT related) was when The Legend of Zelda was first released on the Gamecube. Everyone was expecting an enhanced graphic version of an excellent series but they were horrified to see it was cel-shaded when the first few screenshots came out for it (me for one). Needless to say it still sold well but just that initial change in animation style almost threw everyone off the band-wagon! I think Grosvenor made the same, I'll say "mistake" but it's not the right word I was looking for, when #7 came out. A lot of people I've heard talking about #7 dispise it because of the new animation style. I dont think Grosvenor's animation changes came to a resting point until about #8. From there, I dont think his techniques have changed much... LOL! I never get tired of Malte saying how he HATES the way the colour scheme shoots out the window as soon as danger creeps on the scene. :P But I guess...that's just MY preference... I prefer Grosvenor's LBT flicks to Smith's simply on the animation, ideas and style. No one has to agree with me on this...Im not expecting anyone to either! LOL.

Knowing little about animation and movie creating I'm not really sure what you mean. Could you give a few examples for it to be found in the movies?
-
I think what Littlefoot is trying to tell us that starting with LBT 8 we start seeing more computer-ish animation in the LBT films. The shadowing on the characters give them a more three dimensional feel. :) The animation on LBT 7 was ..... crap IMO. They experimented and I sure didn't like the result.
I guess I'm going against you two because I seem to have a stronger liking for the Roy Allen Smith films because of Ali and Chomper. The only Grosvenor film I've really enjoyed is LBT 9 when we get Mo. The rest I just don't care for....I'm growing old I think and I'm not looking at them in the same light I once used to. :(
-

Not "against" me, you don't. As I said I prefer most of Smith's movie's as he stuck within certain limits with the storylines. Though with Smith having used many possibilities already it may be that Grosvenor (respectively those who write the story plots) had more difficulties to come up with something new. Like you I was very fond of LBT 9 and LBT 5 and 6 are both quite alright with me too, while the others suffered from the drawbacks I mentioned before.
-
Six had some nice songs...I really liked the jazzy swing-style "Bad Luck". :)
-
Number six also had about the measure of "mysterious" elements that I consider quite alright. Everyone who still didn't want to believe in the lone dinosaur legend could consider everything a coincident.
The music was quite alright. Nothing that I loved as much as some songs from other LBT movies, but also no one that I didn't like (I know you were not to fond of "On your own" though).
-
^ Yeah I guess you kind of can tell which songs I didn't like. :P If the clips aren't avaliable at LBT.org that probably means I didn't like the song. :P
-
^ You actually mentioned once that you don't like that one song.

"The small-fry dinosaur friends are back for their ninth outing in this 77-minute movie, but this time they're not the littlest creatures in the Great Valley. A herd of miniature dinos is discovered when Little Foot tries to sneak some "tree sweets," but falls into the tree instead, knocking down all the blossoms. This gives the tiny herd easy access to the food, which they quickly devour and disappear. But instead of taking the blame, Little Foot inadvertently sends the prehistoric adults into a "get Frankenstein" kind of frenzy by blaming the little ones entirely for the loss of the harvest. The kids find the herd first, of course, and protect it from the adults until everyone settles down and accepts each other's differences. A subplot spotlights Cera and her adjustment to Dad dating Tria, a lady Triceratops friend from Dad's past come back to reignite old passions. (Ages 3 to 7)--"
Review by Amazon.com
Looks like Ali isn't going to be in this one either.. \:
-
Thank you for letting us know! :) They finally seem to come up with more details.
A subplot spotlights Cera and her adjustment to Dad dating Tria, a lady Triceratops friend from Dad's past come back to reignite old passions.
<_< I'm afraid this is going to be another land before time movie that will contradict "Old Threehorns", the land before time story I'm working with.
-
:blink: Cera's going to have a stepmom!!!! :blink:
That plot sounds like a repeat of 1, 7, and 8 all mixed in together. Littlefoot's lied in just about all the films now hasn't he?
-
Bah! They're always tryin to teach the same lessons.. at least they could do it with Ali \:
-
^ Well I'm more digusted with the recycling of lessons but they are limited to what can be done because they are, well, dinosaurs. *shrugs*
And I must say, because I say how mad I made Jay over at network54 that we're much older than the target audience--the kids who see this aren't going to see it through the rational eyes that we do. We see for what has been done in the past, what lessons are being taught, how the characters are etc but a younger kid won't see the film this way. ;)
-
I have to say that I'm none too enthused with the premiss of the next one, but I will give it a fair chance, as usual.
I know I said that I wouldn't earlier (on the other forum that I post on), but I've change my mind.
-
Even though it doesn't sound great I always had the intention of giving it a chance. ;) No matter what plot they give you, this IS a lot better than Saturday morning cartoons. ;)
-
Speaking of plots, it is somehow funny how it is sometimes stories with a relatively simple plot I like. LBT 9 for example has a very simple plotline, and I loved that one. LBT 7 had much more complex a plot, but I wasn't too fond of it.
I can't generelize here though, as there are some complex plots among my favorite LBT movies as well.
-
I suppose it beats SATAM cartoons (depending on which set of them you watch), I just don't like them putting anymore flaws on Littlefoot than necessary.
-
But everyone has flaws, WR. Very often some people discover them as they go along with life.
-
Yeah, but Littlefoot is a cartoon protagonist.
He los this mother, went through hell to get to the Great valley. He went through hell while contending with the egg eaters, Chomper and Chomp's parents. HE went through hell when the valey started drying up. He went through to get his grandfather medicine. He went through hell to keep the herd together and get back home frot he island. He went through hell when to keep Deena and Dinah alive and when they broke the rock. He went through hell while dealing with Petrie's uncle. He went through hell when it snowed. He went through heel getting Mo back home. And he went through in the last movie. Come on! Its not like admitting that he caused an accident would be anything compared to what he has gone through in the past. It'd a piece of cake to deal with that!
-
Arvens: Hey Littlefoot.
Littlefoot: Hey Arvens.
Arvens: I've heard you gone through hell many times according to some people....what's it like down there? :P :P
Kidding aside, it is true Littlefoot has his repubutable flaws in every other film...I suppose it wouldn't be anything new to see him express them again.... <_<
-
When did I mention his flaws? What I said was that he has been through MANY hardships in the past and because of that: Taking a little responsibility should not be a hard thing for him to do.
-
From the little we know about the LBT 11 plot, I could very well imagine that Littlefoot doesn't see the fatal results about that lie he utters. I mean, it seems like the fruits of one tree were lost and Littlefoot doesn't admit that it was him who acidentaly knocked down the blossoms.
It is not like there is only one tree in the Great Valley, and even in case it was the only one with these "tree sweets", how could Littlefoot expect the grownups to get in such a "get Frankenstein" kind of frenzy?
I mean, come on grownups, this is only one tree!
I could imagine that Littlefoot did think that way, while I'm sure that he didn't like a demagogue set everyone against the Tinysaurs.
-
If he didn't think that much trouble would come of it, why would he lie about it? That actually doesn't make much sense. If I did something bad on accident, but didn't think that anyone would get too upset over it, I'd just tell the truth.
-
I suppose that Littlefoot would expect the grownups to be angry with him, shouting at him (and maybe he had some kind of conflict with them before). If the same reaction of the grownups was aimed at the tinysaurs who had apparently disappeared to whereever their hiding place is, it must've seemed to Littlefoot like no harm would come from it at all. I really don't think he expected the grownups to get into such a frenzy. Maybe (I'm just speculating) Cera's father triggers such a frenzy hoping to impress this female threehorn mentioned in the summary.
-
I guess Cera's dad is always like that.. in every movie since 5 when they seeme to have adopted this meating zone where Cera's dad always finds something to argue with Littlefoot's grandpa... Maybe this movie will try to focus more on Cera.. since lbt 7 was about Petrie as a sort od sideline important issue, lbt 8 about Spike and also about Ducky.. lbt 9 is more of a general thing.. and 10 is about Littlefoot.. so now it's Cera's turn =p Another thing I've noticed is that on lbt 9 and 10.. and maybe 8 but I can't remember the narrator at the end promesses more adventures like he did in lbt 4.. we're still waiting for Ali's return.. so you kind of have to think if this promisses are just to keep people interested in lbt or they're actually gonna take them serious
-
At the end of LBT 10 the narrator says:
For Littlefoot and his father there would be more adventures to come, but for now he headed for home.
So indeed this could be interpreted as much as a promise as the end of LBT 4 can. It remains a question though whether or not this is mere rhetoric or if they really have plans to create another movie. I think that they want to keep this option open to themselves, while they didn't see it as a promise to be kept. We may have to live without a return of Ali.
There are other characters whose return was not promised by the narrator, but by the characters themselves (Pterano is the best example). As for me I could life without a return of Bron unless some of the discrepancies about his story in LBT 10 would be explained.
-
I think it would be hard on the series if they didn't invite Ali back somehow because many of those that remember that story anticipate her return. Maybe before Roy Allen Smith was (fired or quit) he had a plan for a movie with Ali in it, but maybe Grosvenor didn't want to go along with it, and it's been a dead issue ever since. :(
-
The question is if the series is still aimed at those who watched the first movie and the early sequels and took them to heart. We are certainly a minority if compared to the little kids who watch LBT not thinking "too much" about them. :(
The way LBT 10 contradicted the original movie makes me really think that we are not really the target audience anymore. If we are not, it is not likely that we shall see Ali again. :(
-
Sad, but true. At least the makers of the first sequels had us in mind.
-
Ali could probably be a better character than a potentially new character. ;)
-
I don't quite understand what that means. :huh:
-
Would there ever be one with Ali back in it? there so much talking going on about it. Have you seen the way they made many of the dinosaurs in movies before number 8 9 or 10 simplely disappear. And now you have Mr Thicknose vanished off the earth. What the hell are they playing at???
-Threehorn
-
What I meant is that Ali is a better character than some of the more recent ones that appear in just one film--Tippy, Thicknose, Bron.....
-
Oh I forgot about Tippy. But I wish they would bring them back into some of them, only a shory secne would do. I am not asking for much! Really!! I am not!! ONE TALK ONE WORD ANYTHING!!
....
opps...
-Threehorn
-
And I'd like to know why Hyd, and his two cronies would simply disappear. Granted, they aren't a part of Littlefoot's group, but they knew Littlefoot and his bunch before they were friends, as implied by the beginning.
Mr. Thicknose: The one good thing about "The Big freeze".
-
I think you mean Hyp, Nod, and Mutt. ;) Yeah, God only knows where they went. :P
I would have liked Thicknose better if they didn't ask Robert Guillaume to sing!!! <_< That just ruined it for me, because he can't carry a tune, period.
-
True. But I it also probably had something to do with the song, because he did just fine singing a song in the "Lion King" sequel.
-
I think the song was fine. didn't take much notice of the actor of Mr Thicknose being a bit not good of a singer. But it is part of LBT 8 the importance of being noticed.
-Threehorn
-
I wasn't too fond of that song ("the lesson"), as in parts it really sounded somewhat clumsy. Of all the LBT 8 songs, I'd certainly name "Family" as my favorite one.
-
Yes, I agree Threehorn the lesson embedded in the show was important but that song really was a waste of time. ;) Family was good. I did enjoy that one Malte. :)
-
Yeah it sweet and soft. one of the peaceful ones. The other peacefuls are Peaceful Valley and Grandma's Lullaby.
-Threehorn
-
Actually I'd count "Always There" and "No one has to be alone" even more among the peaceful ones than for example "Peaceful Valley".
-
Don't forget the classic singging at the end of some of the LBT movies.
-Threehorn
-
You mean the "If we hold on together" themes or (as you wrote singing) the closing credits version of "No one has to be alone" and "Bestest friends"?
By the way, I remember you were looking for a trailer of LBT 10 threehorn. I don't know whether or not this is of any interest to you, but this is the url of a German LBT 10 trailer: http://www.universal-pictures.de/sites/dow...r.php?film=1190 (http://www.universal-pictures.de/sites/download/showtrailer.php?film=1190)
-
I think it was the song. I didn't particularly care for, and I've seen Robert Guilliame sing much better.
-
The Best of Friends was a nice song too. :)
-
YEah there is soo many great songs on LBT. I hope to hear the next ones on LBT 11.
-Threehorn
-
I'm they will be enjoyable enough, because there always are good songs in them. There almost always some bad ones mixed in, but that's forgivable.
-
Forgivable yes, but doesn't it make sense to get rid of those bad apples before releasing the film? :p Thicknose's song should never have made the final editing cut.
-
True, but niether should the "Lone DInosaur" redneck song in LBT 6.
-
:lol: redneck song? :lol:
We'll though it was certainly non of my favorites I sure don't consider it a bad one either. As it seems that favoring and disfavoring of the songs vary very much I think every single one of us has to learn to life with it. The majority of the songs is quite okay and some are just beautiful!
As for my least favorites, that would probably be "Who needs you?" from LBT 4, "Good inside" LBT 7, "The lesson" LBT 8, and "Me and my Dad" from LBT 10.
-
I don't mind any of the songs. I find them all enjoyable.
-Threehorn
-
Lucky you. *Sigh* I bend my ear at a couple. You must have a high pain tolerance.
-
high pain tolerance? I like the LBT songs. all of them
-Threehorn
-
I was actually exaggerating and joking. B) I know none of them are really bad. :)
-
*whispers* The Lesson is. ;)
-
The lesson is what? Tell Me! :blink: :huh: :o
-
What is it???
-Threehorn
-
The Lesson? You mean Mr. Thicknose's song at the end of LBT 8? I loved that song! I liked the moral behind it! Proves that no-one can learn absolutely everything and no-one's perfect. I like the melody too... it's kinda...melodious...PMSL! :DD :p
-
Yes a good point in deed. and the LBT 10 song, about friends is one important sort as well. IF you have a true friend that friend will always be your friend till they meet again.
-Threehorn
-
^ I actually played the Olivia Newton-John version of that to a friend as we were both moving away from each other to go to separate colleges. :cry No song could have been more perfect for that occasion. :DD
-
Yeah I tend to agree with you there, that music was perfect for ppl all over the world that watch LBT 10, the music is sooooo moving and the classic was perfect as much as the song with the LBT charcaters.
-Threehorn
-
^ Interesting how similar we are about this. I was singing "Bestest friends" while I helped my sister to load her stuff on a trailer when she moved to Hamburg. I don't think she appreciated it though. I guess she doesn't have a real sence for such sentiments and rather tries to avoid saddening emotions.
-
Could've been because she was your sister, and not a best friend like the song lyrics go. ;) It does seem out of place to sing that to a family member.
-
Maybe. Can't think of anyone to whom I could sing it though without being told to shut up :(
-
I take it your family isn't big on being sang.
-
That's a fact.
-
It's funny how people who dont follow LBT as closely as we do turn their noses up at the songs. Yesterday, I was working with a friend from my uni course and we have to organise and air a live radio show (it's not actually going live but we have to simulate it). I told him to listen to a couple of tracks on my MP3 player as songs we could put into the show. When he hit the LBT section near the end of my playlist, he gave me the funniest look of confusion I've ever seen etched onto a human face! :lol: After a couple of seconds he looked at me and just asked "What the ......... is this?!" I just laughed at him and told him straight and he just shrugged dismissively. I dont think he will ever trust me with music ever again. Especially for this radio project! PMSL!
-
Some ppl in my class like the LBT music, some find the livily ones to be cool. It depends how the person likes music or sing along songs. You will get ppl having odd looks at you about LBT because those ppl think LBT is for children not older then 7 year olds.
-Threehorn
-
Hehe, I'm not about to blare LBT music throughout my dorm considering these kids are brought up on rap and hip hop. <_< They dislike the LBT music I dislike their stuff too (especially at 11pm at night when I'm trying to sleep).
-
hip-hop makes no sense to me, it just a mix of words that make no sense with poor music. Burn hip-hop!
-Threehorn
-
Rap and pop are even worst. Fact.
I like American country, and a lot of ancient Middle Ages songs, myself.
-
I'm more into New Order and other 80's bands.. I'd like to've lived in the 80's it was the best decade ever for music
-
Hi!
I admit that when I first watched LBT 2 I was sort of sceptical about singing dinosaurs. Maybe also because though non of the LBT 2 songs is bad, there is none I really love either. That was different however when I watched LBT 3 and listened to "Kids like us".
In general I harly ever listen to the kind of music that is played in the radio. I really don't like loud techno music and the like, but prefer melodies. Most of the music I listen to are either melodies from soundtracks or songs that for one reason or another "mean" something to me. Songs I associate something with.
I also listen to some rather historical music and (funny enough for a most convinced pacifist like me) to some songs they played in times of war.
-
Edwin Starr - WAR! Heugh!!! What is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!!!
There's an old song about war. ;)
-
Although I agree with th basic message of that song, I have to say that there are some things worth fighting for.
I was actually surprised to hear singing dinos, considering the original had no singing.

There are news on LBT 11.
megacharizard from the network54 forum came up with two urls. The first is: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...duct_id=3322057 (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3322057)
and a summary of the LBT 11 plot which can be found there reads:
Littlefoot worries that he'll never grow as tall as other longnecks while Cera gets angry when she discovers that her dad finds a new girlfriend. Littlefoot spoils Nibbling Day, but he blames a herd of tiny mysterious mussauruses for his own misbehavior. The angry grown-ups retaliate and cause an avalanche, which opens a tunnel from the Mysterious Beyond allowing two velociraptors entry to the Great Valley! The velociraptors wreak havoc until all of the dinosaurs including the disliked newcomers band together to chase them off. The Great Valley welcomes the brave little mussauruses, Cera learns to like her father's new friend and Littlefoot learns that physical size isn't so important after all.
The second url is:
http://www.kenseinews.com/cetc/publish/ele...cle_23963.shtml (http://www.kenseinews.com/cetc/publish/electronic_entertainment/article_23963.shtml) I cannot say anything about it as the page doesn't show up on my computer for some reason. However, megacharizard says that it includes the names of two of the songs to come: 'Creepy Crawlies' and 'Girls and Dads'
-
mmmm now that sounds very intersting. I WANT TO SEE IT!!!
-Threehorn
-
Pardon me while I puke my guts out. That premise sounds horrible!
-
I guess you got a soul taste
-Threehorn
-
Its copying what LBT2 has already done! :( :cry
-
I don't see how. Did Littlefoot blame something on someone else like the tinysaurs in this new movie? Is there a hole in the great wall? of course there is, how can far walkers get into the Great Valley without these entrances? it all it takes for one of these raptors to see this entrance and tell the others about it. That would lead to a sharptooth attack into the Great Valley.
Some points have been missed that not many ppl notice about the way other green eating dinosaurs get in. All it takes is for a sharptooth to follow without being seen and boom they enter the valley with ease.
-Threehorn
-
There was a typo in the second url. It really reads: http://www.kensei-news.com/cetc/publish/el...cle_23963.shtml (http://www.kensei-news.com/cetc/publish/electronic_entertainment/article_23963.shtml)
It looks like they put quite a bit of additional music on the upcomming DvD. Even though we know the songs of earlier movies of course I think this is quite positive a developement
They are putting more than just the regular games for little kids on this DvD.
As for the story plot itself I'm still not certain. There are certainly elements which sound a little simple, like Littlefoot fearing never to grow up (though this most likely going to be the case :lol ). Still there may be some interesting ideas in it. This new girlfriend of Cera's dad (much as I hate the fact that this is also going to contradict my story "Old Threehorns") may turn out interesting.
One thing I realize is that they seem to aim at kids with divorced parents now. This was written in a review of LBT 10 already.
-
I still don't mind getting it when it comes out in the UK. I have no release date in the IBM site. only a title of LBT 11. looks like they uncertain
-Threehorn
-
Hoy! I wish the premise wa more original. All the Direct-to-Video sequels have had plots like this already. Just told a little differently
-
Hmm...sounds kind of like a wishy washy plot at best, but I'll be watching it anyway on Jan 11th...if I can find a rental...I won't buy it outright like I did LBT 10. >.< That was a mistake.
-
your lucky to get it first... we have to wait forever for it and that enough to drive any LBT fan nuts outside the US and Canada.
-Threehorn
-
Those comments, threehorn, kind of remind me of when I visited Europe. Do you know how many films idiot Hollywood release there first?
-
I bet they let them out there first before the UK... don't know why. It kind of outranges letting us get it later then europe. Sounds like we a area that just outside europe in the market world...
-Threehorn
-
I don't know why they release them there first, either. America is where half of the income they make off of movies comes from.
-
We're part of Europe for Christ sakes! If they get it we should get it. That is really annoying.
-Threehorn
(edited for really bad spelling, no offense)
-
Best way to go about it: get a region free dvd player. ;) Then you have no reason to whine about it. :) They are a tad more expensive than a "normal" single region player but you can always buy hack codes (if it's possible) for your current dvd players.
-
The land before time XI - Invasion of the Tinysaurs has no been announced on the official land before time page at www.landbeforetime.com There is however no further information so far.
And yes, a regionfree DvD player is really a useful thing. It permitted me to watch LBT 10 last January, but to this day I still can't access the bonus material on the DvD which can be used with a computer only.
-
Would the DVD player by muti-region if you got a self made DVD from Canada? I have one that was made from a person that I went to this Anime thing for 3 days in Vancovuer and bought this DVD that he made. called final fantasy memories. it shows sences from all the final fantasy to number 10.
I only asked it here since if so this one I do have a muti-regional DVD player I can buy LBT 11 from the USA. So can people can you help me out here?
-Threehorn
-
I'm not sure. Do you have any instruction paper on that DvD player? If it was a multi regional one that paper would (apart from other technical details) certainly say so. Otherwise the only possibility to make sure about it would be to try to get hold of a region 1 DvD. Do you know anyone who does have a multiregional DvD player and consequently possesses region 1 DvDs?
As for getting the movie once it is released, you just need to check out ebay.
-
I thick the booklet said region 2 on the booklet under E.g. for DVDs not working.
-Threehorn
-
Then it won't work for American DvDs I'm afraid.
-
What about PC and laptops in the UK?
-Threehorn
-
What about them?
Unless you have a multiregional DvD drive it won't play the American DvDs either.
-
How can I tell that a DVD player on a PC is muti-region?
-Threehorn
-
You ask the seller in the shop for a multiregional DvD player and you can also check what the boxes say. If a DvD player can play all region DvDs, it is a point which they won't fail to point out on the box.
-
Ok, for dvd players, there usually is a notice on the box--it looks like a lined globe with a number inside--that's the region for the dvd player.
For a computer, most every dvd rom is NOT region free....this is where you have to get creative and download a couple of things...namely PowerDVD (because Windows Media Player doesn't handle the different rate very well) and DVD Region Killer. Once you have these you can watch anything. :)
Be warned: if you do something wrong with you computer dvd rom drive you can kill it and it won't play anything, so be VERY careful with what you do with it.
-
I have Powercimera for my PC in my bedroom. It can do tons of things that normal computers can not do. Play DVD, VHS, radio, music and TV. (I will check for it being mulit-regional.
-Threehorn
-
LBT 11 is supposed to come out on January 5th, right?
Nick
-
Actually it's January 11th, Nick. :)
I'm not familiar with whatever that is Wayne. *shrugs*
-
Amazon.com has released LBT Xi DVD cover:
(http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000667GIW.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg)
-
The little purple one looks like Ali.
Nick
-
Looks like its undergone a bit of a make-over! New title lettering, brighter and bolder colours....looks cool!
-
The cover was released quite a while ago already though. What I dislike about it is how they put Littlefoot so much in front while non of the others is even shown on the cover at all! :angry:
-
Littlefoot has....eyelashes.... :blink: :blink:
I think the cover is "disgustingly cute"... <_<
-
They are too cute the tinysaurs, i had question about the title, but from reading more on what it was about over at IMDB, and seeing this cover and what the tinysaurs are, basicly little dinsouars, i figured theyd be some made up sepcies.
It be nice other 4 were on the cover but when it comes down to it Little Foot is the star of the movies.
-
Yes, I really miss the others on the cover. When I heard about the title and the "Tinysaurs" I thought it might be about a tiny kind of sharpteeth (There were kinds so little that they would hardly impose a thread to the Great Valley dinosaurs, but it would remain to be seen if they would see that fact).
-
Malte, I think its high time you became very cynical about this sequel. I already have. ;)
-
While I did not! I did not become cynical about the sequel and so long I haven't even seen it, I am not going to. I've pointed out my doubts about the cover (something I did about LBT 9 already, even though it turned out later that I just loved that sequel). I just mentioned the first idea that sprung to my mind when I first heard about the title, before the cover or a plot was published. I'm not being cynical at all thus far.
-
It's very hard to be cynical and believed if it's on something you've never experienced yourself. ;)
-
And if its another let down like LBT10, Malte? LBT11's plot sounds worse than the plot LBT10 had!
-
Don't give bad marks before you watch. in the past on some films they had the worse plot ever but when you get to watch it. It Fantasic!
So becareful of your words and wait till you see it before ranting it.
-Threehorn
-
If indeed LBT 11 would be of LBT 10 "quality" I will still have plenty of time getting on people's nerves by moaning and complaining about it pointing out everything I dislike. Yet I won't begin with that before I even saw it. That's the lesson I learned from LBT 9.
-
I watch then cast my vote. Not before then. I always done so.
-Threehorn
-
Hi!
Meanwhile they put up a link for a trailer of LBT 11 on the official land before time webpage at www.landbeforetime.com. Sof far the link leads just to a written line which says "coming soon". But lets taker their word for it. The trailer may be there in a few days or weeks in the worst case.
-
Thanks to a link from Malte on the Network54 forum, we now know 2 of the 3 songs for LBT 11. One is called "Girls and Dads" (maybe something to do with Cera and her father?) and Creepy Crawlies (kinda goes without saying I guess). Both titles sound interesting, hope the tunes sound just as intreguing!
-
Hmm...Creepy Crawlies sound like fun at least. :) I don't know about Girls and Dads...why wouldn't it be on the lines of Girls and Boys? :p
-
because that would imply liking of the opposite gender.
Nick
-
good point and it probably is about Cera and her dad.
-Threehorn
-
The song is probably about the bond between a child and her parent.
Nick
-
The plot summaries of LBT 11 we've had so far tell about Cera's father finding a new mate. This is certainly what the song is aiming at.
-
We will have to wait to see this fully answered
-Threehorn
-
Another member posted an interesting link at the network54 forum:
The page includes a few pictures of LBT XI. I like the one with the threehorns in particular. It looks a bit like they were mocking Cera.
www.memorabletv.com/features/invasionofthetinysauruses.html (http://www.memorabletv.com/features/invasionofthetinysauruses.html)
-
It sure looks like she was being mocked in that picture. I have no idea what the one with the green dinos is supposed to be. :unsure:
-
The laughing threehorn, is that her father? If so the other one is bound to be his new mate, Tria or whatever her name was.
-
sarah_fox2002 on the fourm network54 the LBT fourm has let out a spolier without noteforcation. I saw the start and realised it was so if you haven't seen LBT 11 don't read that part that Sarah_fox2002 did.
-Threehorn
-
I'm sure she had no bad intentions. There was never an official rule about spoiler alerts in the network54 forum. She also didn't write anything (in my opinion) that really spoils the excitement for others. Please hold no grudge against her because of this.
-
Just looked like it. I Don't really want to know anything till I seen it myself. I am getting a copy from the USA in about 1 to 2 weeks hopefully.
