Hi Wayne! We just went through a table-read for Land Before Time 12 "The Day of the Flyers"! It was fun. My mom gave the producers your information, they were actually really grateful to us and to you for providing it because now they can address the issue of encoding and security, which is something that oddly, they had not thought about before as much as they ought. Most folks think of downloads in the "music" sense, generally, not everyone realizes there are movies as well. =)
This Land Before Time is really cute! The New Littlefoot, Nick Price is really good, he sounds a lot like the youngest Thomas Dekker recording.
More later!!!!
Aria =)
-------
here is the email I got from Aria. It sounds like the next one after 11 is going to be great!
-Threehorn
-
You're not just pulling my chain here, are you?
-
I'll make it sticky for now, though I'm surprised she'd actually tell us this so early.
-
Me, too. I don't think that Threehorn is necessarily lying, but are you sure that that is the truly the title of #12, Threehorn?
-
I do believe that Aria wrote this to Threehorn. He wouldn't make up stories, I'm sure! Still it is surprising that Aria may come up with information on the LBT sequels so early. Are there no whatsoever orders to keep information secret until a certain time?
-
Since we're such a small board she probably thought it wouldn't hert..
-
Well I been talking to her by email for a bit. I got this email last night. No lies about it. I kind of like the titile. maybe it will change over time. who knows. I will keep everyone informed on later information.
-Threehorn
-
If I'm to believe that title it sounds like a return of Pterano. <_< Sounds like another Petrie story I think.
-
at least someone from the past films is coming back, that better then nothing isnt it? if that the real thing.
-Threehorn
-
It sure sounds like Petrie. Yet LBT 10th title sounded like Ali and she wasn't around.
-
Mmm sounds like it a unknown then if ppl think one thing and it don't happen.
-Threehorn
-
Well with a title like that what else might you expect? :huh:
-
Okay, I believe. :blink:
-
You could have new flyers like Petries father. never thought of that didn't ya?
-Threehorn
-
:blink: :blink: That would be a pretty recycled plot of LBT 10.
-
I was just putting a point forwards. it could be anything possible for LBT 12
-Threehorn
-
Pterano won't be in it though. Aria told me that there will be two new wonderful characters, but not Petrie's uncle.
-
Seems as if Aria's been talking to everyone recently. :) ('cept me :p )
-
Somehow, I think I'm less enthused by the premiss of LBT 12 than I am by LBT 11. :angry:
-
My goodness, we hardly know anything about LBT 12!
All we know is the title, that there will be two new characters and that Pterano won't return. Quite frankly, I consider this a very small basis to write off the movie.
-
"The Day of the Flyers". Please... The title sounds painfully bad. The last time I was tortured by a LBT film it was the one of the ones with a bad title.
"The Bg Freeze", "The Stone of Cold Fire", and "The Secret of Saurus" rock all nearly drove me into a fit while trying to watch, and they all had BAD titles. I have a frame of reference that allows me to be a skeptic.
-
The title might be one thing. but the films have been ok. The new title of LBT 12 is good. But it depends on the title to be changed?
-THreehorn
-
Except for those three. But hey, they managed to make 6 out of 9 sequels good, I'll have faith.
-
I do as well
-Threehorn
-
Yep.. I wanted for Ali to reappear.. by the title it looks like that's not gonna happen.. \: Anyway we haven't even seen lbt 11 it's too early to discuss anything about lbt 12
-
anything can happen.
-Threehorn
-
Including the option that #12 just might be the last one. :blink:
-
no way! you downer. No way LBT can end. not at 12. it can go on! Wildraptor come on you can't be thinking that LBT 12 will be the last.
-Threehorn
-
What? You want this to become the cartoon's equivalence of James Bond? There are only so many original ideas left and the fact that they're repeating an old lesson shows they are running out of ideas. <_<
-
But ppl still love watching LBT, I do and hope that LBT goes on forever!
-Threehorn
-
People may love LBT but they WILL stop buying new shows if they feel that they are repeating what has already been taught on a previous film. ;)
-
Well, I'll get this one, because this is the first time they've really done that.
-
Still I will buy new LBT movies. I love watching them no matter what.
-Threehorn
-
I actually stop buying them since Ábt 7 but it was more because I was more concentrated in school and other stuff.. I'm thinking of buying lbt 10.. since it was kind of cool and I'd like to see the brazilian version, I kind already own lbt 9.. but it's a dvd rip that a friend gave me =x Anyway I'll probably keep on buying them untill (whitch I hope won't happen) I'll lose track of lbt.. with college and all those things..
-
I think LBT 12 could be the last one, but there is no hint that it will, so let not start despairing. There are still many land before time stories left that could be told. Really good stories! Stories without repetitions! Stories without the flaws some of the later sequels had (especially contradicting earlier sequels and harmless sharpteeth)! I absolutely KNOW that such stories are still possible, and I hope that those who actually think of the new stories will know too.
-
Don't they see how the previous film does before they greenlight the one ahead of it (i.e. they see how 11 does before they'll consider 13).
-
For all I know the 11th and 12th were greenlit together. I guess they'll consider if they are going to create more after they see how these two sequels will do.
I may be mistaken, but I think that Roy Allen Smith was asked to create three sequels to the land before time right away (LBT 2 to 4), so these three were greenlit at the same time. I don't think (but I may be mistaken) that they will greenlit more than two sequels at the same time now.
-
I hope there is more to come after 11 and 12
-Threehorn
-
"13" is an unucky, though.
-
^ superstition. My Dad is born on September 13th.
-
I don't believe in that. :p
-
Im not too sure on a new LBT sequel. I'd more than love to see a new one made, Im always up for a brand new LBT flick but I cant shake the feeling that 12 may be the final stop... Not trying to sound too pessimistic. Since Dekker gave up the role of LF after #9 (puberty kicked in according to Aria) there as been no solid voice actor to play as him. #10 thru to #12 have all seen a change in voices for LF. Im sure there are still plenty of other ideas to be looked to but to me...they kinda seem to be repeating themselves... an influx of new characters that keep disappearing at the end. I'd like to see a LBT 13 (and beyond). Bad luck 13?! Humph! If I didnt have bad luck I'd have no luck at all! PMSL! :p :rolleyes:
-
IF the new voice actor is perfect for LBT 12 there could be a another load of LBT to come. We have to wait and find out.
-THreehorn
-
At one time, there's a stage named Elijah Gnann who would have been perfect.
-
People were already speculating if LBT might be the last one. Charles Grosvenor said he is quite content to keep making them so long the Roman numerals don't become too unwieldy. So I think there could be some more. Most important however, there ARE still good possibilities for stories that don't repeat, don't include stuff that wouldn't really fit into LBT, and that don't contradict earlier stories.
Sometimes I wish it was possible to send suggestions to the scriptwriters.
-
I just wish that scrpitwriters were humble enough to accept them.
-
it the plots of the LBT movies still good the number of movies will be going up and up.
I hope we can see the next one to be good
-Threehorn
-
I hope you're right. :(
-
I dont understand if they were doing a read through of LBT12, does that mean we can except its relase sooner then Dec of 2005? Like Spring or summer of 2005
Also i think LBT could go a ways, their target audince are little kids, and i'm sure there will always be little kids who will always enjoy it. most little kids arent going to go and analysis the previous movies to see if everthing fits with the past stories etc. As long as they have a decent storyline or at least one that isnt like a carbon copy i think it would be fine. Even then most little kids probably wouldnt care :lol As long as they can see their 5 fav dino pals, and go on adventures with them :wow
I have truly enjoyed all the sequels but i have talk to people who hate them, think they should have stop at the 2nd one, that all this sequels have tarnished the oringal film
-
Thus far, it seems about three or four generations of kids have been entertained by LBT.
-
I always liked LBT and always will. Welcome Dogstar to the gang of five.
My sister likes LBT and My brother not a great fan but will sit down and watch it. He not too bothered about it.
I wonder why some ppl hate the LBT Sequelitis after number 2.
-Threehorn
-
The others don't match their taste. <_<
-
what taste is that? bad breathe fruit? :lol
-Threehorn
-
Hi Dogstar!
Welcome to the Gang of Five!
I dont understand if they were doing a read through of LBT12, does that mean we can except its relase sooner then Dec of 2005? Like Spring or summer of 2005
It is not like an official read through of LBT12 had been released already. However, Aria Noelle Curzon, the speaker of Ducky ever since LBT 5 has been visiting this and another land before time forum lately, and it was her, who gave us the pieces of information we have on LBT 12 so far. So the fact that these information are out already, does not indicate an earlier release of LBT 12.
-
Aria? Our Aria? The voice of Ducky?
-
Of course; how many Aria's do we know?
All we write about LBT 12 is based on the information she gave to us.
-
Cool! We have an actress in our midst. One that ACTUALLY likes one of her roles, apparently.
-
Yep she is great. wonder if any more LBT voice actors will come on the fourm and have a chat with us?
-Threehorn
-
In my last mail from our lovely Miss Curzon, she said that she was gonna try and twist two more actors' arms to come and post. Namely our two former Littlefoot's Thomas Dekker and Alec Medlock! I havent traced her up on it yet but I don't want seem like I'm pressurising her! Heaven forbid!!! If I get anything, you guys are the first to know, but like you need to know that! ;)
-
Hope they do come on. Aria goodluck!
-Threehorn
-
If anyone, I'd like to talk to Gabriel Damon, the original Littlefoot, whom is 28 right now.
-
Yeah that would be just as cool, having a chat with the oridanal Littlefoot voice actor.
-Threehorn
-
You bet!
-
It would
-Threehorn
-
Yeah, why? You have sent any private messages that perhaps I missed?
-
Back to fanfictions...
I been looking over lots and is it Rock_raider the one the make the LBT crossover with yu-gi-oh???
-Threehorn
-
^ I sent a mail to Thomas Dekker quite a while ago, inviting him to take a look at the Gang of Five. Unfortunately I got no response, and I didn't post again, as I don't want to go on his nerves.
-
Its all for better, I suppose. He is the worse voice of Littlefoot up to date.
You should at least ask for a response.
-
maybe he got so much emails that he didn't see it there. Only a guess though
-Threehorn
-
*shrugs*
-
I sent something to Aria a while back on her site guestbook but got no response....guess everyone is real busy over there. :)
-
Yeah I bet they are. since she did tell me that they working on LBT 12 over there now. So it will be a rare treat to see her on.
-Threehorn
-
Its all for better, I suppose. He is the worse voice of Littlefoot up to date.
??? Do you really think so? Thomas Dekker was the one who spoke Littlefoot from LBT 6 to 9 and did the singing in LBT 5. He really sounded quite good to me.
-
He sounds like a freaking girl!
Busy actors? They go a few days a week and speak into a microphone that's hooked up to a recording system.
People like Orlando Bloom have sent me repilies to E-Mails I sent them in just one day or two, so an voice actor or actress can, too.
-
Don't forget some of them are in school/high school or college. They do have a life outside the studios you know. So they might have a packed week in and outside the studios or don't othen go on a computer.
You can't tell for sure.
-Threehorn
-
Indeed. Orlando Bloom is already an adult and managing his own life. Aria is very much still a teenage girl and she still has studies and school to go to. We all know what it's like to be down that road, plus she has her job...and that isn't a typical McDonalds either where you can plop the tomato on the burger, and have it not be precisely in the center and it still is fine to the customer. <_< You don't say the line correctly, you say it over and over till it's correct. ;)
-
I could also imagine that stars such as Orlando Bloom, who probably get thousands of mails per day, employ some people who respond these mails. Maybe they will respond some of the mails themselves, but I consider it highly unlikely that this applies to the huge bunches of mail they certainly receive.
-
Okay, I forgot about school. Never mind. Sorry, Aria.
There are actually quite a repies that Mr. Bloom does, from what I hear. I didn't send an E-Mail to him, by the way, I was just using him as an example.
I'm surprised that no one said anything about my comments about Thomas Dekker's Littlefoot.
-
Aria just emailed me and she told me that she has been busy most of the week just got on to reply to a email I sent her this morning. something about 12-14 hours work on something that I can't remember. lol
-Threehorn
-

:huh: I didn't really get this one. Never mind.
I'm surprised that no one said anything about my comments about Thomas Dekker's Littlefoot.
I did express my surprise and wrote that I found he did quite a good job. However, I don't mean to argue over this point, as our perception of the voiceactors' job is very much a matter of taste and something that can be discussed emotionally only, but not rationally.
-
I wouldn't mind giving voice acting a try. It sounds like a lot of fun.
-Threehorn
-
Unless you're a natural, don't try it until you've had a voice and acting lessons.
-
Goodpoint but I will not say much about it because of other ppl point of views.
Just playing it safe
-Threehorn
-
Aye, and not everyone's voice can be used. ;)
-
And even if the voice sounds alright, I doubt they would take anyone who has not attended some kind of actors' school or has any other experience in these matters.
-
Or someone that has connections for that matter. ;)
-
Yes and yes to Malte and Arvens' posts. I'd go along with these two, Threehorn.
-
Voice Acting sounds wicked! I'm giving it a go myself. I've researched it and it's not as easy as people may think! I've already linked up with a voice over company and I've registered my voice but that's as far as I've got... I want to push myself a bit further but to get a decent amount of voice over training costs around £700! That's for a few days! Im saving up for a special place I looked up and hopefully I can get that little bit further!
-
My life leads me down other paths than voice training. :p I don't feel like paying $1400 either. :lol
-
I'm walking on the path of a history and English teacher right now. I might walk on a different path if only there was a better chance to be successful with a creative job, but one has little chances as an artist nowadays.
-
I am in chior and I have a good voice, so I could sing in movies. As for voice acting, well, I think I could be good with training. I can do a mean Gollum impersonation(My precioussss).
Nick
-
I hope this one will be good. I heard that the new Littlefoot actor is the best one that had after the other two that was around for 4 movies each.
-Threehorn
-
There is no Littlefoot better than Gabriel Damon.
-
I was in the school's choir during my students exchange. I'm not bad at singing and can vary my voice from very high to very low. Funnily I also like to make a Gollum performance my preciousss ;)
Nevertheless I really don't think that anyone has a chance to just walk into a studio and say: "Hey I think I have a cool voice, may I speak the maincharacter?" I'm sure that one really needs to take several lower steps before getting such a chance.
-
Unfortunately, it doesnt work like that. I looked into voice acting and it's not easy to get your foot in the door but once you do, the rewards can be awesome! I constantly crack my friends up with impressions of characters from the Shrek movies. One in particular is the Gingerbread Man who my housemates always drop in fit of laughter when I speak like him. :lol
-
^ If you ever can make a recording of that impression I'll listen. :D
I think Malte knows I can carry a tune. :p
-
Hey! I do too! A rather impressive (if not scary) set of pipes u got there! Remeber the video u sent me? Heh heh! ;)
-
I did? :blink: :blink: I'm starting to lose track of who I sent that to...not everyone is going to see it...so I haven't sent it to you yet, I either haven't caught you online, or I'm just not sending it to you. -_-
-
My voice can range from low to Falsetto. I can sing Elton John and the Bee Gees very well.
Nick
-
Ahh uhh uhh uhh stayin' alive stayin' alive.... :lol :lol I don't dare try squeaky voices. :p
-
well, I can do pretty much any sort of voice you ask me to.
Nick
-
Ok, do that line from the Bee Gee's Staying Alive. :p Mic yourself up and send me a recording. ;)
I can do Karen Carpenter songs. :p
-
Voice war do we have here? lol
-Threehorn
PS: can I join in :lol:
-
Ooooh! Can I join?! I just cracked my housemates up with an impression of Ace Ventura! OMG I can be such an actor at times! LOL :p
-
sure Littlefoot, join in.
Nick
-
New infomation foo LBT 12!!!!
Tria is still in a going! She is in LBT 12 and a surprise following along! Not sure what the surprise is but Aria's mum told me...
She is in 12, and with a surprise!!!!! =)
That was what I asked her about with Tria being involved with Mr THreehorn. So now they are keeping in charcaters from a pervois LBT.
I would say that this is a improvement! wouldn't you say that? guys
-Threehorn
-
Heh, no. -_-
-
Guess you would say that Arvens... brighten up will ya!
No need to drain the news... I am giving out what I been told.
-Threehorn
-
Thanks Threehorn. Maybe Cera will have to deal with getting a new stepmom? Just a guess.
nick
-
I would say that this is a improvement! wouldn't you say that? guys
-Threehorn
Forgive me for answering the question then. -_- You asked if we felt it was a good move, and I said no; if you're looking for an explanation, here it is: the fans have wanted other characters brought back for the longest time, but they decide to bring back a different one. I've nothing else to say.
-
Alright... but the surprise could be someone from the earily LBTs
who knows
-Threehorn
-
It could be someone familiar. I just hope it is.
Nick
-
If there will ever be the much speculated return of Ali, it better ought to be a really good movie. Sorry for my bluntness, but I would be extremely disappointed by Ali returning in an LBT 10 style movie.
-
I was suprised that she wasn't.
But LBT 12 might be good. got to wait and see. Wonder if they will go a LBT 13 after it.
-Threehorn
-
I expect an LBT 13 sometime either late 2006 or early 2007.
Nick
-
LBT 13? Wow, but this staying young thing has got to end by 13. I am starting to get tired of seeing them young all the time. It kind of gets old(no pun intended). Yeah they are cute and all, but only the first movie made me feel those emotions.
The sequels make me feel they are little kids that get into trouble all the time. Nothing else.
By my theory, Littlefoot should be hitting puberty in LBT 12 or 13. Not counting the first movie, Littlefoot grows 1 dino-year each movie.
Movie--Age
LBT1-0 to 2 years
LBT2-3 years
LBT3-4 years
LBT4-5 years
LBT5-6 years
LBT6-7 years
LBT7-8 years
LBT8-9 years
LBT9-10 years
LBT10-11 years
LBT11-12 years
LBT12-13 years
LBT13-14 years
-
But on the other hand many of the LBT stories could take place in a very short time span. LBT 2 might begin just a few days after the original story (which is likely considering how much they celebrate that they "...finally found a peaceful valley". There is nothing that would disprove the assumption that LBT 3 takes place few days or weeks after LBT 2. After LBT 3 there must be some gap as it certainly took a while for the Great Valley to recover. But LBT 4 may again be followed by LBT 5. After the fifth movie there must be a break again (not as long as after LBT 3 though) for the leafs to recover. LBT 6, 7, and 8 May again come in close succession. It's fall in LBT 6, and it may have been in LBT 7, so the 8th movie could follow few weeks after. Once the snow melts (which could produce a lot of water to support the flooding of the Great Valley) LBT 9 could begin and again LBT 10 could come right after it.
As Apatosauruses grew by 2kilos a day (according to "Walking with Dinosaurs") Littlefoot would usually be quite huge already. I don't think that they are going to change anything about the character's outward appearance, though I could imagine changes in their conduct. But with really young kids being declared THE target group of LBT by Charles Grosvenor I don't suppose there will be anything serious, as they seem to assume that THE target group can't handle as much a sharptooth like the one in the original movie. :mad
Still in general I really prefer the characters the way they are. I would not approve of a Bron-like looking Littlefoot, a Cera who begins to resemble her Dad, a Ducky who resembles her mother etc.
As for an LBT 13, I don't know of any official information. I suppose that whether or not there will be a 13th movie will largely depend on the success of LBT 11 and 12.
-
I'm not talking about them being adults. If you want to see them as kids, watch 1-11, but I am sick of it. They are stuck in a little box which makes it impossible to explore their individual personalities. In order to do this, they need to age a little. They need to grow smarter, solve more intelligent puzzles, gain more experience. This series is proceding in a linear path just like a television series. Absolutely very little to no character development.
-
Well kind of that might has happened in LBT 11 since at one point of it Littlefoot couldn't reach something and sometime later he mange to and tells his Grandpa "I'm taller now" Something like that and then his Grandpa replies "You was taller the day you stood up in front of everyone and admitted you was wrong"
So Littlefoot has grown a little bit but not much.
Back to Walking with Dinosaurs. they look at the bones and I think they taking mostly guess work since how can you tell the age of a dinosaur by a bone that been turned into a rock like form fossil. Plus how can you tell a age of a dinosaur by a fossil? since it lost all traces of bone and whatever else is in the bone turning into mainly rock with a different feel to natural rock, so they could say a dinosaur was 7 years old when it died but really they not sure since it a rock like remain of a bone of the fossilized bone.
No one will really know what dinosaurs was like 255 million years to 65 million years ago.
New facts are coming in all the time plus the death of the dinosaurs has changed again. Since now they believe that strong volcano activity in the Idianian ocean caused the tempurture to raise over a long streach of time around 2 to 3 million years.
Slowly the dinosaurs and sea life was dying off but the meteor was the tip of the iceberg that finished off what the planet had started to do to the Dinosaur's eviroment.
So they can say that the kind of Littlefoot is grows 2 kilos a day but this could easily change into something else. No one can ever know the total facts of the dinosaurs.
-Threehorn
-
Just letting you know I've talked with Aria last night but seem to be going on a summer hoilday or something and nothing new to report on LBT 12!.
Will keep you informed if anything new to report
-Threehorn
-
Well i just read that this wouldn’t be out till 2007, they said in the article announcing the tv series which is also supposed to debut that year :wow :birthday
-
You probably already know this but still... As I was googling for something about the LBT tv series I found this website: http://icv2.com/articles/home/7361.html (http://icv2.com/articles/home/7361.html)
They give a subtitle to lbt 12:
A new feature, Land Before Time: Day of the Flyers, will also be released on DVD in 2007.
A return of Pterano maybe? I'm not really "into" that idea, oh well... Just letting you know =p
-
Sadly Pterano will not be in LBT 12. I asked Aria upon hearing about the title and she told me that he won't be there.
-
Sadly? Sadly?! Good riddance! We don't need that melodramatic twit ruining another LBT film! Normally, Michael York (the voice of Pterano) has a nice, smarmy charm about him, but as Pterano, he was just annoying. An interesting character, but horribly delivered. If they bring him back, I hope they take a less melodramatic approach with him.
-
Horibly delivered , or in my mind bot very interesting... Like You said he was annoying....
-
Pterano's not that bad. OK so he was a bit deciteful but you gotta admire him for his character. Michael York does an excellent job of portraying him. I suppose we were expecting Pterano to make a reappearance with such a laid out title as "Day of the Flyers" (or maybe I speak for myself here). Who knows...he might make a cameo appearance like Mo in LBT 10. He doesnt say anything but you can't deny it's great to see characters crop up even if it's for less than a scene
-
Yes, he was that bad, in my opinion, anyhow.
-
I Agtree with WR on that one...
-
Personally I consider Pterano one of the points in favor of LBT 7. He is not a kind of standard character and it is never really certain whether the Dr. Jekyll or the Mr. Hyde side of him will gain the upper hand after all. He is vain and almost seems in love with himself to a degree we haven't seen even by the proud threehorns. The story of his leading a group of leafeaters into their doom (unintentionally) adds a gloomy aspect which is relatively rare in LBT, but not unwelcome as far as I am concerned. His complicate relationship with Petrie is also a very interesting element. I do think Pterano could well return in a story.
-
Good points there Malte... I Think Pterano could reten eventually...
-
I never said he didn't bring anything interesting to the table, yes, the some things were a plus surrounding the character, but not the character, himself. He brought nothing we couldn't have done without. Give me the budget to remake #8, and I'll show you how Pterano should have been done!
-
I cannot give you the budget to remake LBT 7, but please tell us in which way Pterano would have been different if it had been up to you to deceide about him. Most of the things I named are characteristics of Pterano himself, so if you speak of things surrounding the character, do you mean the incidence when he lead the others into the ambush?
-
Well, for one thing, it'd have made sense forPetire and his siblings to be fascinated with him under my control. Pterano is supposed to be highly charismatic, but all he did was creep me out and it didn't make any sense whatsoever for him to win anyone over. Heck, my cousins (which were 5-8 when they first saw it) weren't fooled by him. Plus, he'd have not obviously been the villain of the film right away under my care. I'd have set up another character who could possibly be the villain as well, and would have made that character the more obvious choice for a villain and not Pterano. Yes, Pterano was the villain for most of the film, but he changes, I do realize that. I can put up with the LBT film sbeing melodramatic, but for me: Pterano pushed the envelope.
-
I suppose this would have made the matter more interesting and I agree (despite of my general approval of Pterano as a character for the story) that they would have fared better if they had kept up the disguise a bit longer. Perhaps it would have been interesting not to make him the distinct leader of Rinkus and Sierra and make one (or both of them) come across as the villains to be. In that case Pterano (keeping up his friendship with them) would have really played the Dr. Jekyll part for two Mr. Hydes until revealing some kind of deeper involvement into whatever misdeeds Rinkus and Sierra were up to.
-
That, I would dig, actually. Although that would involve doing what they needed to be doing from film #1: Making the films longer.
-
I would certainly not object longer LBT movies so long the content is good. Don Bluth meant the original movie to be a good deal longer than it ultimately became. I wonder what it would be like had Don Bluth would have been allowed to get through his plans.
-
whether the the extra time would have improved the quality of the first film is(of course) debatable, but I think that lengthing the sequels would imo not add much as far as quality.. I think many of us can agree that the first 3 sequels are probably the best collectively, while there have been some good sequels since (5 and 10 come to mind) overall I would say that the quality has fluctauartted over the course of the series...
-
Quality of the movies is of more debatable than the matter of time. I think most will agree that at least in most cases the time given was enough to tell the story of a given LBT movie. In one case (just my opinion) the time may have even been sort of stretched out. As for the quality of the movies I consider accordance with the original movie and the first sequels a very important criterea. The first time I considered that accordance violated was in LBT 7 the worst of these violations I think was LBT 10.
-
Yes, Nick, but if you think about: the plots for the sequels aren't really fit for the 1 hour and a half minute story format. Most of the sequels would have been infinitely better if the filmmakers had taken more time to tell story by not insisting on having one LBT film per year and if they added more to the running time.
If I were in charge of the LBT series: They'd come out every two years, have bigger budgets, have longer running times, and have the new character more fleshed out (and the guest who can reappear reasonably easy like Hyp and his bunch would).

News is here! from Aria! I have word about the eps on Land Before Time!.
Here is the email I got from Aria!
There are 26 "for sure" episodes in the works but the production team and cast is not firmly set by any means! All I know is that Universal will produce it (a little more of a chance the original cast will do it minus Littlefoot probably, whose voice keeps changing thus the need to keep recasting) and Cartoon Network is airing it. 2007. Malte asked for an address to write and express views on the cast and I am working on that! I do know it should be sent to development and also marketing at Universal Cartoons, (or animation) which is I believe 100 Universal City Plaza in Universal City, Ca.
As usual they are crying about low budget constraints (that never changes, they want to pay the actors as little as possible) so we will all wait and see. Hope they keep all of the cast though!
Melody. ( for Aria!!)

EDIT: forget it...ask for my opinion on MSN. -_- Fruitless to say what I want to say here since some aren't going to like it.
-
You not too keen on the idea of the LBT TV series Roger? You've got just as much right to post your views as the next fan so by all means...
-
just post your thoughts Arvens... I may disagree with what you might say, but I respect your ability to say it...
-
Alright, since I have the time, and you guys are ready for anything I dish out here goes:
If what Aria says is true, it's obvious this franchise is slowly going bankrupt. TV series' are the kiss of death--once they're done, they're done. Plus she mentions that they're whining about budget constraints which likely means that the series hasn't been as profitable as of late, and therefore the execs are unlikely to take a cut so to speak to produce more of the talking dinos. TV series cost less, so if they can't afford (or don't want to afford) another film because it requires a higher quality of animation and computer effects, they're ready to pull the plug. It's so obvious. They're not making money and just trying to get every penny out of it possible before its RIP LBT.
In other words--nothing good can come from this tv series if the fans wish for more of the talking dinos--the tv series is the end of the line. Those that wish to see the series dead will praise the tv series because I don't believe it will get far. The plots on the films have been wanting, so what makes them think they can pull off twenty six more of them?
Chow until this weekend. ~Roger
-
That very well may be the case Arvens. After putting out 11 sequels, profitability is indeed an issue.The recent sequels have appealed to younger kids and diehard fans, but mostly to younger kids. with such an aidience in mind, quality isn;t much of an issue(little kids will watch Just about anything, even if the show is brain-numbingly simple). consistentcy isn't an issue either (see return of littlefoot's father in lBT 10, which contradicts the original film). And one is left to wonder if the directors really even care at this point. (Ex:"Let's ship #12 through. Geez, don't those little kids realize the films are basically the same?")
-
Certainly. Kids won't catch on that the films basically repeat or contradict each other, but the longtime fans do. That's why I have serious doubts that they can do 26 episodes that are not so similar that it doesn't get pulled early because they're out of ideas.
-
To solve that, they could take the 'Anime" way out, and make it so that each season has it's own plot. One plot=One Season. It could easily work.

Because I'm such a nice bunny:
Universal Studios Preps Land Before Time Animated Series
LOS ANGELES, August 8: The newly formed family entertainment label Universal Studios Home Entertainment Family Productions (USHEFP) has commenced production on the 26-episode The Land Before Time, which is slated to debut on Cartoon Network in 2007 and will be distributed on DVD by Universal.
The Land Before Time movies have collectively sold more than 60 million units worldwide. The TV series will include many of franchise's most memorable characters, including Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike and Chomper in all new adventures. It will be created using a combination of 2-D animation and 3-D backgrounds.
"There is a huge consumer demand for high-quality, family-friendly content both on television and in the home entertainment arena," said Craig Kornblau, the president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment. "Universal is committed to tapping its vast catalogue of world-renowned entertainment brands, as well as finding compelling new material, to inspire the creation of original films and series that will serve this growing marketplace."
Glenn Ross, the general manager and executive VP of Universal Studios Home Entertainment Family Productions, added, "We are thrilled to be able to extend the success of this prized franchise to yet another vital platform. Cartoon Network is widely recognized for its trademark quality programming, and we look forward to combining the new The Land Before Time series with the network's esteemed lineup of children's offerings."
Universal will also expand the franchise in 2007 with the 12th direct-to-DVD title Land Before Time: Day of the Flyers. Both the TV series and the new feature-length adventure DVD will be jointly supported by a worldwide licensing program, which will be spearheaded by Universal Studios Consumer Products Group.
So if you get Cartoon Network, you're golden.
-
Ok so Chomper will be back... interesting. And I do get Cartoon Network :)
-
I don't :(
-
Ouch. Don't worry. They'll be on DVD, someday.
-
And now something completely different!
:D
Is there a release date for LBT 12?
-
I think we're looking at early 2007 if you're in the States...Europe would probably be around September 2007
-
I'm not a hundret percent certain about the early 2007 and in the worst case we might possibly have to wait till 2008 in Europe, but I'm not a hundret percent certain about that either. I just reckon that it would be high time for them to come up with some official information on "The day of the flyers" if it was to be released about the same time of the year as LBT 10 and 11.
-
I'm not 100% sure either. I'm simply assuming that trends and patterns will continue to follow through. Since about LBT 8, the UK have had LBT releases arrive around mid-September time and so far the traits have been true for the past 4 releases (i.e. LBT 8-11) Can't speak openly about anywhere else but I'm just logically thinking that this is how it would turn out.
-
Yeah, we've been having the same relaese dates as you guys since around lbt 8, before when it was on VHS it took 4 months more then in the UK... 2007 is way too far way :D
still I dought lbt 12 will be the sequel to remeber, unless they decide to put Ali in it =p
-
I don't think Ali will be in it. but I think she'll appear in the series.
-
Yeah, but still appearing in the series isn't the same thing... I mean it was sort of a promise, and being a guest in one or two episodes isn't the same thing as being an important character in a sequel
-
Very true, but apparently the directors had other stories to tell before telling about the gang's reunion with Ali.
-
I never really saw it as a promise that Ali would return. I just saw it as a way of signing off at the end of the movie. I can imagine Ali returning in the series at some point coz it seems so effortless to include her in a few (if not the majority) of the episodes of the series.
-
I'm afraid you are right. Though I always hoped for the closing line of LBT 4 to be a promise, I don't think we can rely on it. However, with more than 20 TV movies to fill I doubt they'd ignore Ali's potential for more stories.
-
Okay, I think we've gone a bit off topic here. Seeing as how this is suppose to be about LBT 12... I'm sure you know what I'm saying and all.
Anyways, with Land Before Time 12, interesting things I've heard so far from all of you. (I took the time out of my off duty schedule to read all the pages.)
Now, with the surprise Tria has, I'm guessing that Cera's going to be a step-sister. ^_^ I'm just saying that with how Topsy...
*gets charged by Cera.*
Cera: Don't EVER call my dad that!
Okay, Cera. Sorry! :(
Anyways, I'm just saying that with how Mr. Threehorn acts near her, I wouldn't be surprised if they got into a serious relationship. (Hey! Even Littlefoot was thinking this.)
Oh, and speaking of Littlefoot, I did notice a few pages back of how he should be bigger and all. Well, his Grandpa did say that by Littlefoot's age he had grown. So I'm just guessing that Littlefoot is going through a late growth spurt of some kind.
Of course, The Simpsons have kept the charcters the same age for 16 years and still no one has complained about it. (Heck, enough days within those eps have past by that they should be 5 to 6 years older.) So, as long as they keep bringing a good series to watch, I could care less about them being forever young and all. (Besides, many an idea could be made for fanfics if they keep them young.)
Now, debating on whether or not 12 will be the last one, I'd say there's great chance of it budgetwise. However, if they get a miracle donation of some kind, they just might pull off another one or two. Then again, making a TV series with 26 eps really hurts a budget and all. Heck, considering how much it costs just to make a one and a half hour movie, I can sure see alot of money being put into just the eps themselves. Besides, there's alot to be considered.
First off, to keep the cast working, you have to pay them a respectable amount of money. Add in possible food to feed everyone who works there. (Trust me, with enough people, that's gets quite expensive. Even if you go with the cheapest food around.) Electic bill, film, paper, paint... it all adds up. (Oh yeah, sure. These days you use computers to save on paint and all, but still, it gets expensive.)
Considering everything. I'd say it's going to take a miracle for #13 to come forth.
Still, I wouldn't give up hope. There's always that chance beyond a chance factor. Kids is a VERY big target audience. If they can just get enough... they just might do #13.
-
It's a bitter sweet sinphony... that's life!
:D
Still, I have many concerns about the quality of the series, I hope they are as good or on the level of at least LBT 9, which, in my opinion, is one of the best sequels after lbt 4, and 7 which I also liked =p As for an lbt 13, well... I'm still waiting for lbt 12, and since 1997, I'm waiting for Ali to show up again, I think she deserves a new sequel dedicated to her.. and not an episode or a few in the series (if she appears in the series at all)... Another thing, are the series going to be something with a plot to be kept till the end, or each episode a different adventure? I hope it's the first one, and if so, should the future sequels have some base on the series?
-
Highly doubt that the TV series and the sequels will be tied together in any way. They'll both have Littlefoot and co, and but I doubt their plots will ever crossover.
-
Does anyone know anything new about lbt 12? It's been a while since anything about it was brought up
-
I just found something that strongly suggests that the film will be coming out later this year.
Billy Martin's webpage (http://www.billymartinmusic.com/news.htm)
I am inclined to believe this, since the guy actually worked on the music. I can hopefully find an official release date soon.
-
Oooh! :D I like!
That sounds quite believeable doesn't it? Thank you for posting this! B)
-
Not really a whole lot of info to go on, though, but still it is an update, something we've been seeing less and less of, so I'm happy.
-
You sumed up my feelings nicely there, WR. B)
I also liked seeing the recording hall where the music was played/recorded. It's amazing how technical a recording studio looks as opposed to a live concert hall. The musicians look quite cramped though. That's no fun. :P:
-
My guess of when it will come out, based on this new info, is around Christmas time.
With this info, I bet a good number of you have put this on your Christmas list already. :)
-
Very cool stuff. :) Its not often you get to see what a recording studio looks like unless you're the one who browses all those extra features on the dvds...you might catch a glimpse then.
-
If this is true about it coming out near Christmas I'm definately gonna use some of my Christmas money for it. I tend too stay clear of asking for Disney or movies like that for Christmas. I'd rather just hope I get an Amazon Gift card or Best Buy gift card and buy it then. Right now I'm a little bit behind though amazing enough I haven't seen Invasion of the Tinysaureses yet.
-
Sorry to burst bubbles but I heard from Aria a while back it could be just after Christmas when it comes out. They plan to bring out LBT 12 just before the series starts on Cartoon Network. Like a promomation for the series type thing, as I know about any more movies after that there is a likely hood that there could be a possible LBT 13 or even a 14. but it only a possiblity at the moment.
As we know this is one of the first movies base on a cartoon from 1988 to go on with 12 movies from 1996 to presant day, that has to brake some records. And now a series on top makes this even better, soon they start airing it on Cartoon Network, my neighbour allowed me to record it on his video player since his got the channel and we don't. His such a kind elderly man. :D I am sure to bring him something back from the USA. I always do bring him back something :) known him since he and his wife moved in they been such good oppisite Neighbours to us and that my mum helps keep it clear during the week for him.
Back to LBT 12. I know for sure Tria going to be in it, and for the series I think Ali going to make a few apperances in it :) that kind of cool to know. But why has IDBM set out almost nothing about Land Before Time 12: Day of the Flyers? -_- what the problem with that? they spoke of the series but nothing on LBT 12 as I seen so far.
-Threehorn
-
We will probably see a trailer for lbt XII later this year, so we won't be totally left in the dark.
-
There may be too little official information on LBT 12 so far for it to be released. Remember that some of what we know is inofficially official so to speak ;)
As for the series it is sure that Chomper will be in it while there is no hint other than our hope that Ali might be in it.
-
IMBD haven't put up any information on Land before time 12. I have checked and very surprised by this, while i know they finished filming and such for Land Before Time 12, the information about it is unknown, there almost hardly any websites with the right information. only a few stats it name Land Before Time 12: The Day of the Flyers. nothing else -_-
Suprising to see that though, cause on the last one they showed up information 6 months before it even put up on DVD and they put up informatiopn of the Land before time series in a flash. But number 12 that another story. Very weird
-
What could you expect? The target audience doesn't give a rip about websites, and probably aren't even old enough to properly use the internet.
-
That not always the case, there still a good deal number of people like us who watch the movies and if that the case then the series shouldn't even appear up there, but it has.
So there must be another reason while not only that one, it stupid if it is, I seen films put up there that not even came out yet. All I can think of is that Universal Studios let out little information to them.
-
Universal is being tight-lipped , clearly.
-
Like Universal gives a rip about a handful of people who are above the average age of the typical LBT fanbase!
Being tight lipped is one thing, Disney was tight-lipped about "The Lion King 1/2", but we still saw more of that than we've seen anything of LBT 12.
-
LBT 12 is going to be out in December 2006. and series 2007 januray.
-
Just as I thought. They're going to use the next sequel as a means of getting the series off the ground, no doubts about it. It'll probably actually have something we'll see in the series if that IS the case.
-
They bring out this time items for sale for both this time through out the year not only with the release when you go to a Universal studios when these two come out your going to see things for sale. A change in what things are sold, they hoping that having the toys brought out it will bring up the sales and keep it going beyond 13.
-
Maybe the LBT guys are pulling off a Star Wars and the toys are selling more than the movies. LOL! I remember my brother telling me that about how Star Wars action figures sold more than the game.
I'm surprised to hear that you know the voice of Ducky, Threehorn. That's really cool to know.
-
Funnily enough, merchandising never was a major fact of LBT as the head of production Dan Wiley told us. Even when LBT was a major cinematic event back in the end of the 80s there wasn't a huge range of toys, t-shirts, lunchboxes and all that kinda stuff that other lesser animated features have produced. I mean, look at SpongeBob Squarepants! I've never seen so much diverse merchandise for a single cartoon ever! Apparently, Mr Wiley said that there should be a much big emphasis on additional buys to do with LBT with the release of LBT 12, 13 and the series. Which will be nice to see! :)
-
Nevertheless there is quite a large variety of land before time products. One just needs to enter it at ebay to find everything from pillow cases, over hand puppets, to lamps, snowballs, jigsaw puzzles, board games... the list goes on. While some of the products were given out by companies (fast food restaurants, breakfast cereals etc.) There are also quite a few seemingly independent products with the LBT seal. I don't expect the movie makers are involved in creating these products or else Petrie wouldn't look like some overaged bat on most of this stuff.
-
(http://www277.pair.com/fnpu58/images/P8280037.jpg)
this is what I won on Ebay and got a few days ago, it never been opened as well a 1998 released product that someone from USA was selling I just thought I bring this up. it something I never seen before till I saw it when I last checked which was lucky for me.
but I really hope to get stuff of LBT 12 when it comes out :D
-
I have the book that is included in the box. Nice pictures, but no real story. Just a litany of sentences such as "Someday I'll reach the highest branch. But for now, Grandpa gets my tree stars. Someday I'll cross the Great River in a few steps. But for now, Grandpa carries me to the other side." etc.
-
I am keeping it inclosed since the tape used to seal it still on there and the toy still tied up making it a very rare to come across collectors item specially for me which made me happy :)
-
:blink: You keep your LBT stuff sealed never to touch it?
-
GOD! I couldn't deal with the presure, I've got a lot of Power Ranger toys that I know they'd worth a lot more if they were on their original boxes unopened, but I still opened them and played with them (ok, I was a little kid) but even now I'd still open them up and put on each sticker. Who cares about their value? They value to me and that's what's important =p
-
Not all of them, that one I have, but the others I have gotten are mostly soft toys. but I got a few things I haven't
-
Here's something interesting. I just found a synopsis of Flyers. Do you guys want it?
It is from one of the many australian websites that has a pre-order for a December 6th release date.
-
Sure, throw in the link =p
-
Actually, all I have found is the description from the "back" of the box. When I tried to find the link, my searches were fruitless. Anyway, here's what I have (Contains possible Spoilers)

Petrie is having a difficult time preparing for “the day of the flyers”, an important day for all of the flying residents of the Great Valley, when all of the young flyers must participate in a very precise flying exhibition to prove that they are ready to fly with the adults. Always a nervous flyer, Petrie has even more trouble flying with his sibling in precise group formationsóhe’s more of an independent, free-style kind of guy.
At the same time, a strange newcomer to the Great Valley has Littlefoot and his friends trying to help figure out just exactly what he is. Named Guido, he’s the strangest looking creature any of the Great Valley creatures has ever seen, especially since he’s covered with multicolored “fuzzies” (feathers!), and has never seen another like himself. Cera is having her own troubles, as her grumpy Dad and his new mate, Tria, get ready to welcome a hatchling to the family.
All of these issues come together on the night before “the Day of the Flyers”, when Guido starts to figure out what he is, inadvertently leading all of the gang on a perilous adventure into the Mysterious Beyond.
Hopefully I can find the link again soon.
-
Here is a French site with some of that same information:
www.dvdfr.com/dvd/f28387_le_petit_dinosaure_12_-_le_jour_du_grand_envol.html
-
Hmm... finally some scientific update. If guido is a feathered dinosaur and not a bird that is =x
I didn't like the plot though, it looks like one of those dead end stories that lead to nowhere, oh well.
Le petite dinosaure? The french call the land before time the little dinosaur?! Geez these guys have this huge lack of imagination =p
-
Dead end plot? The possibilities are actually quite large. They're trying to handle three plot threads in one movie. I can see many things happening (and maybe, just maybe, there will be some actual drama, unlike the last movie.)
-
The story is quite similiar to Keni's A Sharptooth's Heart, and that certainly is no "dead end plot". What is similiar between the new movie and Keni's fanfic is one of the characters: Guido from Day of the Flyers and Rex from A Sharptooth's Heart. Here's what's similar between the new movie and ASH:
-Guido and Rex have never seen another like themselves before
-The Great Valley members have never seen a creature like them before
-Guido and Rex seem to long to find out what they are and find others like them
-Guido and Rex inadvertantly lead Littlefoot and the gang into a perilous adventure in the mysterious beyond while trying to find out their identity
So I can see potential in this new movie. Not only in this aspect, but also this is a chance to give Petrie the limelight for a while. I've never seen Petrie as the main focal point of an LBT movie, so this may be his chance to shine, if you know what I mean.
-
I think he shined in lbt 7. But I'd like to see Petrie as more of a main character and not the goofy friend who's there for the jokes, although they are pretty funny =p
I don't think this plot has anywhere to go, I hope I'm wrong. But everything seems a bit predictable and anything but original. Oh well, I guess I was (and in a way am) hoping for something more like the original movie, one can only dream. :rolleyes:
-
I don't believe the plot is very predictable. I mean, I think that plots that seem the most predictable can have a shocking and unexpected twist in the end.
-
Shocking? What's going to happen? We can safely guess that petrie will fly in a straight line (or whatever else he has to do), and that Tria's egg(s) won't be tampered with, harmed, or destroyed (actually, it would be dramatic if one of them was stolen, especially if there's only one, but it would have to be returned before the end of the film.) As for Guido, I don't know what to make of him... let's wait until we see some screenshots or the cover.
-
I didn't say anything shocking was going to happen in the movie. I can't be too sure of that. I was just saying that any plot can have a sudden twist to it.
-
Wow! I had a feeling a great love relationship of that degree would happen between Tria and Topsy. :D
*notices Crea doesn't ram me*
Hmm... guess she has issues right now. <_<
The writers sure put alot of thought into this, I can tell you that. :)
-
Heheh, yup! LBT12 sounds like it's going to be an interesting one.
And like DH pointed out, I too noticed how that plot resembled my A Sharptooth's Heart stoy's plot, kind of made me think of they came across my stories in Fanfiction.Net XD
-
Maybe they did. XD
-
I found the link again. Here is is.
Gamehead Website (http://www.gamehead.com.au/product.php?productid=91202&cat=&page=1)
This should take you right to it.
-
Wow, it has the cover on it too (and that seems to be Guido in front of Littlefoot) and apparently it is not to be titled "The day of the Flyers", but "The GREAT day of the Flyers". I wonder why (since LBT 7) Petrie ceased to look like Petrie on the movie covers. They use a "different" version of him for the covers now.
-
Yup, this cover is definitly NOT my cup of tea.
Anyway, I've been disapointed with the covers since lbt 7, when they started to fatten up the charcters.
I rather just wait around to watch it, I was very sceptical about lbt 11, but after watching it I kind of liked it, I only hope the same happends with 12.
-
Found some more info. If you live in Australia, I have found confirmation of the release date: December 6th. It is now on the Australian Universal Studios Website, with the following info at the end of what I've already posted:
Featuring the voice talent of Carmyn Manheim and unforgettable new songs, The Great Day of the Flyers is an enchanting story about friendship, teamwork and courage that every family will cherish for years to come!
Hopefully I can find confirmation of a US date soon.
-
Here's me hoping it will be out before Christmas in the US. :)
-
That new dinosaur in the movie has some similarities to Keni's character Rex in one of his fan fics. This dinosaur doesn't know who he is and he leads the gang on an adventure to the MB. But I guess that would be something expected...unless they secretly reading his A Sharptooth's Heart series. XD Only joking of couse. Still, this should be an interesting movie and the fact that a T.V. series is coming will the GOF be in endless topics about it.
-
LBT 12 going to be out in December, but has anyone seen or heard of a preview yet? I am looking out for a trailer for the movie. there should be one out soon.
if anyone seen or found send a link here please :)
-
It's weird that no one has heard of a trailer for lbt 12. What's their marketing scheem?! Waiting for christmas?!
Anyway, shouldn't lbt 12 be released first in the US and then in Australia?
-
I thought UK was the next with Eupore after north amercia. Australia I thought get it after. weird...
-
Actually, on the Curious George dvd, there is the "Flip Flap and Fly" preview. It doesn't give the release date, however.
-
can you try and get a movie clip link made for this Flip Flap and Fly? it would be cool to see
-
who ever got Curious George dvd can they try and record the preview of flip flap and fly and put it on a site and link it to here. I am sure we all be happy to watch it :) since it a preview, it would give us all a inside view of what LBT could be like in a small part :) even get ppl talking again
-
I found a page that has large scans of both the front and back cover.
http://www.moviezoo.dk/Landet-For-Laenge-S...m_5050582432077 (http://www.moviezoo.dk/Landet-For-Laenge-Siden-12-Flyvernes-Dag-DVD-film_5050582432077)
-
Is there a English version of it?
-
I'm not sure.
-
The cover is Danish. Quite remarkable, I don't remember I've ever seen any but the English cover before the official release of the movie. It makes me hope that I might not have to wait for almost a year again before the German DvD is out. While I prefer the English original I'm still curious about the translations. When there was such a long time between the English and the German release I often had to be either very patient or else get the English version and later on the German (as the German language version is never included on the English DvD).
-
You know, I was looking at the cover and I think I noticed something that was missing from this one to the one on all known covers. Can anyone guess? :)
-
Ducky and Spike missing from the picture of the cover
-
They were missing in previous covers too though. In case of LBT XI there was no maincharacter except for Littlefoot. I suppose Pokeplayer means something different, but I can't tell what it is.
-
That could be it, especially if the filmmakers have decided that they like focusing on Littlefoot, and putting the others in the background more, like they did last time.
-
It is indeed something else, Malte. (Geez! How do you pronunce your name?)
Okay, here it is. Unless I am mistaken, I believe this is the only one where they didn't draw Littlefoot's teeth. :blink:

But there weren't any teeth of Littlefoot's in the cover of LBT 10 and LBT 7 either.
As for my name, most American's during my exchange just couldn't pronounce it correctly (one exception) and many of them started calling me Mike.
Especially the final e sound seems to give trouble to native English speakers (though it isn't to far from the way e is pronounced at the end of "the"). When they tried to say Malte it sounded ("translated" into German spelling) like Maita or Moulti (they nicknamed me "Multi Purpose" for "Malte Pattberg" :lol)
-
Whoops! :slap
Thanks for correcting me there, Malte. :)
Oh and with your name, I've lately been leaving the e out when trying to pronounce it. Basically, Malt. :D
Now I know just how impossible it is for me to pronounce it correctly. -_-
-
Malt is another "variant" of how my name used to be pronounced in America. I don't really get what it is, that makes the name so difficult. There is not a sound in it which doesn't occur in English as well. :rolleyes:
Here are examples of each sound and where it occurs in English (I'm not talking about the spelling but about the phonetics):
M as in mere
a as in cut
l as in leer
t as in tier
e as in fell
The italics mark the letters whose English pronounciation matches the sound in the pronounciation of my name. The example words are taken from J. D. O'Connor's "Better English Pronunciation".
-
Your name is MaltÈ?! You ponctuate the e? I always thought it was a normal e :o
-
Interesting (both Malte's name and Littlefoot's sudden lack of teeth).
But do you suppose my theory holds any water? That the filmmakers decided that they like focusing almost solely on Littlefoot?
-
Your name is MaltÈ?! You ponctuate the e? I always thought it was a normal e.
It is not left out, but it is not accentuated that way it is in many French words. As I said, the way it is in the English word fell... actually I see where your assumption is comming from (and many English speakers problems about that e sound come to that) it is pronounced slightly different from the way most English would pronounce it. If herd similar "e"s being pronounced in Scotland, but they seem to be less common in the rest of the English speaking world. I suppose as a Portugese you have less problem to pronounce it than our native English speakers (there were many Portugese at our secondary school which held strong contacts with several schools in Portugal. None of them ever had any problems pronouncing the name) ;)
Back to the actual topic.
But do you suppose my theory holds any water? That the filmmakers decided that they like focusing almost solely on Littlefoot?
While this might be a tendence for the covers I wouldn't agree to the theory if it comes to the movie's content. Littlefoot has always been a central character, but plotlines focusing on Petrie's flying problem coming along with subplots about Cera getting a stepsister / stepbrother from Tria don't really sound like a spotlight on Littlefoot that would neglect the others. Not more at least than we saw in previous sequels. In fact I suppose this sequel may focus less on Littlefoot in particular than some earlier sequels did.
-
Actually, Cera's getting a half-brother or half-sister. They will share the same father but have a different mother, so they're related in a most unusual way. I wonder how they will handle the hatching scene...
-
They might do the same trick they did in #2 and have the hatch scene during the end credits.

Very good point there Malte (I also can't pronounce the poor guy's name properly despite actually talking to you in person LOL :lol ). An aspect of LBT that I had noticed but only really in the later movies that besides Littlefoot taking centre stage (most of the time) there was always some means of a subplot involving the other characters. LBT 7 it was Petrie and his reunion with his Uncle Pterano, LBT 8 was Ducky troubles with potentially losing Spike to the migrating Spiektail herd, #9 was more around Littlefoot, 10 was again mostly about Littlefoot but there was also the gang's determination to find him again. And #11 was Cera having to deal with the concept of having a new family member and dealing with changes of the sort. I'll agree to a certain extent that the gang don't seem to have much in the way of adventures as a "unit" but I think the stories have greater meaning with overlapping subplots. I've never considered the other members of the gang to be "neglected" or overshadowed by Littlefoot.
-
I know Littlefoor is the main character, but one idea I dislike is the filmmakers putting the spotlight on Littlefoot solely for the remainder of the sequels (and the TV show) without giving the others much limelight.
-
And don't they? What about Cera's part in LBT 11, Petrie's part in LBT 7, Ducky's and Spike's part in LBT 8? I really don't see any generally decreasing amount of spotlight for the other characters except for their neglection in the covers.
-
You really don't know much about movies as you even stated, do you? If filmmakers decide that focusing on just one character is much easier than having him share the attention with four other characters: I've seen it on several occasions, as they place the other characters into the background permanantly, while keeping just this one character in the foreground. Given the severe lack of screentime and dialogue I thought the others had last time, while focusing almost solely on Littlefoot, it has me just a bit suspicious with what they might do with the series now.
-
We're getting a bit off-topic...
Btw, I love it when people say "It happened to a lot of "insert thing"", WR which movies or series are you reffering to?
PS: I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm just curious =p
-
Anyone here ever seen "Eerie, Indiana"? Its a good example of a show's co-stars getting slated towards the end of a series (poor Dash and Simon :cry ). There are a lot of others where I noticed the co-stars getting less and less limelight, and it usually starts with episodes or films where it focuses almost solely on the gig's real main character. "Early Edition" would be another example. "Thundercats" is another example where I think the supporting cast got pushed aside abit. Its usually in series and stuff like that, and LBT is a series now.
It usually starts as one thing like the last LBT film, and its happened enough that I have my suspicions about what awaits Cera, Ducky, Petrie, and Spike in future LBT installments.
-
You really don't know much about movies as you even stated, do you?
I stated this in a thread about animation and movies in general. If it comes to the land before time in particular I think it is save to say that I know my stuff. In your eagerness to discard my opinion as that of somebody who doesn't have any idea of the topic anyway you fail to even respond to the examples of other characters' spotlights in recent LBT movies which I named. There is no doubt that Littlefoot is (and has always been) the most central character of the land before time. I do not see the general increase of his spotlight on the expense of other characters. Nor do I see any hint whatsoever that such a trend is likeley to be seen in LBT XII (with Petrie's plot giving the title to the movie and Cera getting halfbrothers or -sisters) or in the series (with a new character called Ruby who, for all we know, is going to play a major part in the series).
-
I'm not disgarding your opinion. I'm pointing out that its been done several times in traditional series and such, and the current filmmakers for the series seem to be hellbent on going the traditional way. That's all I was pointing out, which turned into a discussion in and of itself. I have seen enough of it done to justifiably suspect what they're going to do. I'm actually surprised that they haven't done it already.
I don't really consider Cera's part in LBT11 to be really crucial in any way, shape, or form, personally. I thought from day one when I watched LBT11 that they were trying to fill in the running time space when they realized that Littlefoot's problem wasn't going to cover their usual 1 1/2 hour running time. That's my impression, at least. I may not even be right.
In any case, the other characters' spotlight moments in the past won't matter if the filmmakers decide to take the easy and safe way out, like they have so many times in the past.
-
I've just checked out Universal Brazil website, and they say LBT XII (PT - BR version) will be released this year. Do you think lbt will simutaneously be released all over the world, instead of just in the US?
-
Well I know a certian mod around here hopes for that. :D
I for one hope it too. :^.^:
-
Has anyone came across previews for LBT 12 or any of the songs like Flip flap and fly that suppose to be on the preview section of that movie someone spoke of. if anyone know of where or seen it. would like to know. for the first time, we have no previews yet...
-
I've been searching for a trailer or preview, even screenshots, but came across nothing except the box cover itself.
-
According to this page (it's in Dutch though) LBT 12 is going to be released on 23.11.2006 in The Netherlands. Can anyone else confirm this?
LBT 12 Bol.com (http://www.nl.bol.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/nl/-/EUR/BOL_DisplayProductInformation-Secondary?BOL_OWNER_ID=1002004004560755&Section=VIDEO&sec_Page=Description)
-
Well guys, looks like it's going to be a global release:
http://www.dvdenlared.com/dvd/En%20busca%2...los%20voladores (http://www.dvdenlared.com/dvd/En%20busca%20del%20valle%20encantado%20XII,%20El%20gran%20d%C3%ADa%20de%20los%20voladores)
According to this page (it's in spanish) lbt region 2 dvd will be released 13th of December, this year. It also says it's doubed in Brazilian Portuguese, so it'll probablybe released here around the same time. All the italian fans can also be happy, it's also doubed in Italian. So I see no reason for it not to be in German, Dutch, French, and so on. :D
-
I would certainly say all Region 1 countries would come out at the same time, Region 2 next, etc. etc. Releasing all titles at the same time is a good move--less chance for piracy from those who can't wait to see it or want immediate satisfaction.

Just found this image. on Atlantic DVDs
here is a link to the site for some english information

That...thing...looks like a feathered, shellless turtle with wings. :blink:
-
this is a cartoon version of a real fossil that was came across on a website. I saw the very page they printed off and used it as a impression to draw this charcater :).
-

Odd. Where is that...page?
-
I only saw the print out no links. sorry. I didn't bother looking. but it has a name or something.
-
Please don't tell me it's that big chinese fraud, that was a major hit on the news a few years back \: LBT has always abused of scientific innaccuracy, first two-fingered raptors, now a dino that never really existed <_<
There have been found other dino fossils with feathers, but the most famous one (which you can see in the picture below) was a major fraud.
Is this the print you saw?
http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/img/dinof.jpg (http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/img/dinof.jpg)
-
No that not it at all. it didn't even look like that. the one I saw... well I can't really discribe what it looked like. it very vage now. but the fossil image they used was from a official source that tha a creature lived with feathers but it was under the arms to believed and the charcater in number 12 was created by using the fossil like a outline then created a cartoon LBT version of it.
So Neworder. thats not the image we saw. I am quite sure of it now :) it no fake dinosaur trust me on that ;)
btw do you guys know yet what his name is?
-
His name is Guido. Don'tcha remember? And, as I predicted, he's gonna be voiced by the one and only voice over leg-end Rob Paulsen! ;)
-
I found this review:
http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/The_Land_Before_Time..._Review_5612369 (http://dvd.ciao.co.uk/The_Land_Before_Time_12_Day_Of_The_Flyers_Animated__Review_5612369)
-
link don't work
-
You're right. The link must either be bad, or the site must be down. I'll try to find the right link.
-
The link worked out just fine for me.
This is what the review on the page said (don't read it if you want to avoid spoilers):
Story:
This one folows Petrie the flying dinsaur, who is having a difficult time preparing for "the day of the flyers". This is a very important day for all of the Dinosaurs capable of flight who live in the Great Valley. And theres no excuses, not even for petrie, all of the young flying dinos must participate. They endure a very precise flying exhibition in order to prove that they are ready to fly with the adults. Poor Petrie has always been an extremely nervous flyer and also quite an irratic one. But discovers he has even more trouble flying with his siblings, especailly in precise group formations. You'll know from seeing the other films that Peties personalitiy is (dispite his squeaky voice) is more of an independent, free-style kind of guy. At the same time, a strange newcomer to the Great Valley has Littlefoot and his friends trying to help figure out just exactly what he is. Named Guido, he's the strangest looking creature any of the Great Valley creatures has ever seen, especially since he's covered with multicolored "fuzzies" (feathers!), and has never seen another like himself. Cera is having her own troubles, as her grumpy dad and his new mate, Tria, get ready to welcome a hatchling to the family. All of these issues come together on the night before "the Day of the Flyers", when Guido starts to figure out what he is, inadvertently leading all of the gang on a perilous adventure into the Mysterious Beyond. A fantastic new dvd intallement. Also some graphics which you wouldn't expect having seen the rest as the colours appear much sharper, and is really quite impressive.
Songs are possibly not as frequent as the other films but are a tad bit longer in length. Good and original however and the Dolby surround sound plays really very well on my speakers. A super film and not a disappointment at all. I'm ever so grateful to my uncle and also to my universal DVD player that allows me to play this region 1 dvd for us big kids on our super silver widescreen T.V.!
Extras:
no extras, perhaps this is because it's a pre-release or maybe the american version doesnt have them. But I'm sure when released there will be some as it's a new production and every DVD nowadays seems to have some sort of 'bonus features' or another.
Overall a 4 star rating, A good conclusion to an epic series of films. And surprisingly good graphics compared to the previous ones. Songs are however along pretty much the same lines as others, but still equally enjoyable. Highly recommended good one for the 'The land before time' fan in us all.
Dear good lor' who knows when they'll bring out another!
Thanks for reading, take care & best wishes, mintz x x x

How did this person get hold of LBT 12? or is this person just saying it. there seem to be no important information about it let out that the story line details already tell us.
I haven't heard anything about a pre-release, Aria or her mum would of informed me of it. I think in my opition he just saying it making out he already got it. there is no real fact in this review that his really got it. pre-releases is the first time I ever heard of one. if it was on cinemra there would be another matter but it never came out in one.
So I think this review is just remixing the words around to make it sound like this person already seen it.
-
^ True, it does seem odd someone would have a copy already, but he certainly seems to know a lot about the film as in, it wasn't a vague "Oh, its good" review, so I'm having a hard time doubting that there might've been a prerelease for a few people. Studios do pre-releases to audiences so its not uncommon to get an early look at something to make some noise online about it.
Until he's proven wrong, I'd say its legitimate (or seems so).
-
Agreed. I reckon the leaking out of some information or even a few later sellers seeing the movie beforehand wouldn't quite cause the same crisis in case of LBT as it was in case of the Harry Potter books. I don't see a reason to call anything into question that was written in that review. There are no extraordinary claims nor anything at all that would in any way contradict the information that was released already.
Speaking of releasing information, I wonder when they will finally update the official page. They sure don't seem to be in a hurry about it.
-
A pre-release? I didn't know lbt had those
One thing though that I hope was just this person's mistake. Flying Dino's?! Pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs, everyone knows that, let's put an end to all these little things that dim the prestige of lbt
-
I don't see any real necessity to clarify the difference between Dinosaur and Pterosaur in the LBT series. There are many scientific inaccuracies in LBT (Dinosaurs didn't talk to begin with), but science is not the major point here. I suppose Littlefoot and the others couldn't care less about the difference of a Dinosaur and a Pterosaur; they know Petrie has wings and can fly. This should do for them and I don't see this damaging the prestige of LBT ;)
-
Precisely. They'd need a scientist from modern times to tell them that there's a difference between them and Petrie. And we all know what a modern scientist's presence in the series would do to the series.
-
about the talking part. no one can really tell. in real life no one seen a real life dinosaur, all we know they 65 million years ago had a way of speaking to each other but in a way of grunts or so. it can't really be told, it could be anyones guess.
Science or not, Land Before TIme is something we all love to watch :) it a great cartoon movie that we all grew up to live by :D
also I am going to try and find out about this so called Pre-release from Aria's mum to see if this is ture or not, I have sent her a messege about it and just waiting on a responce.
-
I believe as much in that pre-release as I believe in the tooth fary :D
However isn't there a private view of every DVD, between directors, staff and guests before its release?
-
If it is a genuine pre-release, wouldn't it prove that the video is probably going to be released very soon?
-
Universal had better get its act together. I just did a net search for any recent news, and I found 2 sites that already have the film for download. They can be found by going to dogpile.com and searching for "great day of the flyers".
-
I found some screenshots from the movie.
http://images2.fotosik.pl/284/998c69d30bb09b60.jpg (http://images2.fotosik.pl/284/998c69d30bb09b60.jpg)
-
Obviously we are going to get a look at Cera's new sibiling.
-
Wait... the download thing isn't exactly legal, is it?
-
Has anyone here actually seen the movie?
-
Yes, I would think downloading movies was illegal.
I haven't seen the movie, no. I don't think it's in stores here yet, but it is in other countries, such as Australia and New Zealand.
-
Wait... the download thing isn't exactly legal, is it?
Well it's all in the way you look at it. In a way using images from movies without the directors permission is illegal since they're copywrited images. But people still do it anyway. I would think downloading the movie would be far worse though so yes that would be illegal.
-
It definitely is illegal.
If I found such a download I would definitely buy the movie anyway, which, I'm afraid, wouldn't make the download any more legal. I suppose we all take enough interest in the land before time to invest the money it will take to get the DvD.
There is nothing illegal about the pictures DarkHououmon posted here though (if taking pictures from a movie and post them in the internet for other people to look at, we would be quite a criminal syndicate, wouldn't we? Even our background image would be illegal) and I was refering to those pictures when making my statement about the content of LBT 12. Did anyone of you see the movie in a store so far? According to several sources it should have been released by now, shouldn't it?
-

I haven't seen it around online or in stores.DarkHououmon said something about it being in other countries first like New Zealand and Austrailia. And I think that's one of the reasons we haven't seen it around us.
-
Yes, it's available in region 4 (Australia, New Zealand, Latin America.) I suppose that it has a bigger fanbase there. It will be available in the U.S. in early 2007. Exactly when that is, I don't know. It's also possible that the release of the 12th movie in the U.S. will coincide with the release of the tv series. Still, if we want more information on the movie, we can hope that some Australian will write a review... or something...
-
But why would it be released in other countries first when the movie was produced here in the USA? I'm confused.
-
then when is it suppose to be out in USA :S
-
Isn't today supposed to be the release of lbt 12? Still nothing on amazon :S
Who cares about the US, when is the european release? (just kidding :D )
-
Is anyone here from Australia? If so, can you tell us about the movie? (I don't really expect that anyone here is.)
-
Actually Australia seems to be the country with the highest percentage of LBT fans in their population ;)
The first fan I ever met is from Australia, since then I met about twice as many Aussies as Germans (with Germany having four times as many citizens as Australia) who were LBT fans.
Anyway, it is true that the one Australian members of the GOF hasn't been heard of for a long time.
-
That explains why Australia gets the release of lbt XII before America. Still, the U.S.A should be getting the "Great Day Of The Flyers" sometimes in early 2007, perhaps early January.
-
One thing I find rather strange is that LBT 12 no longer has any entry at the imdb. I'm quite sure there used to be an entry earlier on. They still have the entry on the upcoming series, but the entry on LBT 12 seems to have been removed.
-
No, there never was an entry for it on IMDB. I was hoping there would be close to its release, but so far, no luck.
-
I've tried universalstudios.com. No luck. I even tried the kids movie section. Those people really need to work on their website.
-
Maybe it will be a small enough release that there won't be an pre-release info; it may just show up in stores unannounced.
Someone at my local video store told me that this happens sometimes.
-
Hmm. Hey, just what were the sales for LBT11? That may clue us in on why this one is getting so little attention. If the LBT sequels start selling less, we can expect to see them less often, or just stop seeing them altogether, as much as I hate to say it.
-
I don't know what the sales were, but the fact that they're making a tv series means that they must think it's profitable. Keep in mind that a tv series represents a large investment of time and money.
-
I found this on a website:
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/ (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/)
It says:
"In DVD news today, Universal has set Alias Smith and Jones: Season One for release on 2/20 (SRP $39.98). They've also set Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow for release on 3/6, with The Land Before Time XII: The Great Day of the Flyers expected on 2/27."
The 27th of Feburary?! What's taking them so long to release it in the U.S.?! Australia already has it! I hope this information is for another region. Could someone please check to confirm this, and I hope that I am wrong!
-
I know that no one has responded yet, but does anyone know any additional details about the movie? From the pictures at http://images2.fotosik.pl/284/998c69d30bb09b60.jpg (http://images2.fotosik.pl/284/998c69d30bb09b60.jpg)
It would appear that Cera's half-sibling is colored a slightly darker shade of orange then she is, but I don't know his/her name. Does anyone know any other details?
-
They've only prepared one season. That's hardly any bigger of an investment than any of the sequels. In any case, the next sequel has gotten very little attention, and the publicity around the series is no better. Had this been around the time of the fifth sequel, news of the next sequel and the series would have been everywhere, just about.
-
Don't forget that a 13th sequel is being produced. The TV series is (so far) not meant to be the end of the sequels.
-
Spreading resources so thinly is never a good move either. -_-
-
I think watching the movie before judging the movie is a good idea. I was very critical after seeing the cover of LBT and had pretty much written of the sequel. It turned out to be one of my favorites after all. It is a lesson I didn't forget, and I don't mean to .
-
Hmm, well according to all that information, LBT 12 is 74 minutes long. My prediction was 75, so my esitmate was really close. :)
Based on the color of Cera's new sibling, I'm guessing it's female. After all, it would be strange to see a pink colored boy dinosaur. :P:
We sadly get to see her 27 minutes, a little more than one third of the way, into the movie. To be honest, I was expecting somewhere in the first 10 minutes we would see her.
Wait a minute. I just thought of something. Could she be the "Ruby" that's been talked about all this time? If so, then the creators really surprised me. :blink:
I can't wait for this movie to come out in America.
Feburary 27th will feel like a long wait for me. :^.^:
-
Oh! And I know this was a couple days ago someone brought this up about Australia having a large percentage of LBT fans. Turns out, my Australian friend, Jake is an LBT fan and I didn't even know it! :lol I showed him the GOF and I might be able to get him to join. ;)
-
Ruby.. that's it. Cera's half-sister. I imagine that this is correct. She's even colored in a ruby-like hue. Keep in mind that I haven't seen the twelth movie, and I could still be wrong. Oh, I didn't expect to see the egg hatch until nearly the end of the movie.
(NOTE: Since I wrote this, my Ruby thesis has been disproved.)
-
Any word on the european release? It's kind of more important to folks like me =p
-
I don't know.
-
According to this webpage (http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/3296570/The_Land_Before_Time_12_The_Great_day_Of_The_Flyers/Product.html) the British release is scheduled for March 26th 2007.
Usually the British release is some weeks before any other European release, so all we can do is wait... wait... wait... and perhaps take comfort in the fact that everyone of us knows that he or she is not the only one :lol:
-
I've heard nothing of the #13. Where can I find some info?
-
I found the release date for the U.S.
According to amazon.com, the movie is coming out on February 27th.
Hopefully this is accurate.
Amazon's LBT 12 Pre-order (http://www.amazon.com/Great-Day-Flyers-Full-Slip/dp/B000LXHFUO/sr=1-1/qid=1166318442/ref=sr_1_1/002-8562033-0820003?ie=UTF8&s=dvd)
-
I've heard nothing of the #13. Where can I find some info?
There is no info whatsoever about the title or the content yet. There is official information about the release date on Aria's webpage (http://www.starmania.com/AriaCurzon/resume.htm). In her Resume she is listed for the lead voiceover roles of "The Land Before Time 5-13 Lead (Ducky) - MCA Universal".
The first reference to LBT 13 on this board can be found here (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=399).
-
*allows his skepticism to take control once more* Pretty sketchy so far. I'll believe that there'll be a LBT13 when we actually see some progress, then. Not saying there won't be one, but I've seen projects in such an early stage cancelled many a time.
P.S.: Yes, I know I'm being a party pooper. I don't mean to, though.
-
You are very welcome to be sceptic about it. For once we are very similar; I am myself prone to doubt anything until given solid proof (which is part of a historian's work). :)
The information on LBT 13 being greenlit is good enough for me however, as I received confirmation in a direct mail mentioned in one of the threads. I have absolutely no reason to doubt the authencity of the information.
-
Ruby.. that's it. Cera's half-sister. I imagine that this is correct
OK...rumour buster. That baby triceratops is NOT Ruby. I can see where the assumption comes from (I mean it's an educated guess) but that's not Ruby. Ruby is in the LBT series who the gang happen to meet not LBT 12. Unfortunately, without sound like a spoil sport, there is only a limited amount I'm allowed to say about LBT 12. I made a promise to certain people not to go overboard with letting out info on the new LBT releases. Sadly, I don't know Cera's half-sister's name (funnily enough, that was a question I didn't think of asking).
I've heard nothing of the #13. Where can I find some info?
Well, I dunno if this has been said already, but #13 is well into the production phases. The pre-production is all done, storyboarding, concept art, script, songs etc. Voice overs are being done as we speak (maybe not RIGHT this second but you can see what I mean :DD ) the regular cast involved as always ;) and art production is well underway. As far as I know, no major amount of raw footage has been finalised but LBT #13 is on the go! :DD It's still the early(ish) stages of the production so don't expect any sources, release dates, pictures etc for a while yet but it looks like it should be ready for around 2008.

Oh dang. Well, at least she's Cera's half-sister. At least I'm partly correct. Note that by "she", I'm referring to the "27-minute mark" child (Tria's hatchling who's name is still unknown to me, but is NOT Ruby.)
-
I guess there can be no more speculation on when this is coming to the U.S. I just found Universal's pre-order page, and it states that the release date is the end of February. Here's the link:

Good point, Malte. I don't doubt that there will be a LBT13, persay, but LBT just doesn't have the popularity it used to. But if the show does well enough, Universal just may focus the resources they've set aside for LBT on that.
-
Darn! Crea's new sibling's not Ruby, huh? :(
*sighs* Oh well, back to the old drawing board. -_-
-
There is a Land Before TIme 13, it being made when Me and Littlefoot-1616 was down there, they had story boards for it up all along a wall, well two of them. So there is a chance it will be out in the next coming year or two. BUt why LBT 12 coming out 2 months in USA after the Down Under. I am very surprised.
-
You can guarantee, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that they'll finsih, though?
-
A friend of mine from Australia told me that indeed LBT 12 is being sold over there. So the considerably earlier Australian release is not a mere rumor.

Hey guys. I just found out when Cartoon Network is first broadcasting the movie. It is going to be shown on Sunday, February 25th at 9:00 am and February 27th at 10:00 am. I inputed a random zip code, and found confirmation. Here it is:
TV Guide (http://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-show.aspx?id=6376649&sourcetype=s)
At least we can see it a couple of days before it comes out on dvd here in the us.
-
This is strange.
Why on earth do they show the movie on TV before selling the DvD? Won't they loose money that way or are they simply not expecting to gain much from the selling of the DvD anyway?
-
People will probably set up their vcr's or tivos and record the sucker. I don't think I've ever seen a company do that before. Unless they're betting that people don't record it, and their kids like it, forcing them to actually go and buy it rather than hoping the kid knows there is a twelvth film out....
-
Maybe they say it's the movie, but they're actually premiering the TV series
-
As a Pokemon fan, I've known the Anime of Pokemon to do something like this. Only days before the 7th Pokemon movie came out, it aired on TV. As a result, it made more sales than any other Pokemon movie that was produced.
It is a little marketing idea that several movie companies make. They air the movie on TV, in hopes of great response so that people will buy the real deal. You see, LBT is well known, but when you talk to someone about it, they most likely think of the first movie and not the sequals. Because of this problem, it might be a wise move for them to do this.
Also, the problem might be that Universal won't have it on store shelves in the US until after the TV Series airs. As we know, there are a few charcters that appear in the TV Series that only appeared in LBT 12. It would bring great confusion if they didn't find a way for the public to know of these charcters. So, this could be the answer as to why they're doing this.
Speaking of the TV Series, I bet that there will be a commercial of some kind during LBT 12 to promote the first airing of the TV Series in the US. This would be very much appreciated to see. :)
Anyways, this is what I think is going on. What do you guys think?
-
It's probably something like that pokeplayer. If you think about it that's what happens in theaters. You go to the cinema to watch a movie, months later it's sold on DVD, and then if you liked it you buy it, it's basically the same thing, except you watch on TV and have the chance to tape it.
-
I really don't think it matters, even if a ton of people do tape it. Buying the actual movie on dvd is alot better than just recording it. Even if they record it with a blank dvd, there's still no match. And if somebody wanted the movie enough to record it, they would most likely go out and buy the real thing anyway.
-
I agree. Even if I were to watch, or even tape the 12th movie, I would still buy the dvd; the quality will likely be higher, there are (usually crappy) bonus features, and there is better subtitling (this is useful if I want to play a dvd with low volume.)
-
I would got the DVD any how, it goes to my collection of LBT dvds so I wouldn't have it any other way :). Nothing beats a good DVD, you can return to it anytime you wish on a laptop, DVD player or even a PC. I even been watching some DVDs that once I saw once only but gone back to watch them again :).
-
When you guys buy it, you might want to make sure you shop at walmart. They have an exclusive goody: a bonus disk with 2 episodes of the tv series.
Walmart Pre-order (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5645563)
I know this is where I'm shopping.

This to those who actually have an walmart and know what it is :rolleyes:

US Release date confirmed!
It comes out Feb. 27th. I got the information from a commerical when I was watching TV earlier this morning. So for everyone in the US, that is the official date. :)
-
Besides wikipedia, where does it say that the 12th movie will be shown at 9:00 a.m. on cartoon network on the 25th of February? I checked the cartoon network website, and it said nothing of the land before time being shown at that time and date.
-
The TV Guide website is what I used for confirmation.
-
I have checked my own TV guide at Excite.com and I can confirm the dates too. Cartoon Network will be airing the movie on the 25th at 9 AM Eastern Time and on the 27th at 10 AM Eastern Time.
-
I saw the commercial for the movie on Cartoon Network this morning around 9:00 a.m. this morning. Only 4 more days until the 12th movie hits the states.
-
Have you seen what they did on cartoon network? They AREN'T showing it today; I checked it at 9:00 a.m., and they're showing some #$%! scooby-doo movie instead. And, according to their scheduale, that's what they planned to do all along, and they aren't planning to show the 12th movie again on Tuesday either. TV guide and those other sites somehow were wrong.
-
I know :cry I woke up super early to get ready to watch it, and on comes scooby-doo...
And now they're not showing it Tuesday either?
-
That's what the cartoon network website says. They are, however, showing some other LBT movies, but we have already seen them before.

The guide on my TV for Digital Cable still said "Land Before Time 12" even though Scooby was on in the morning instead. Clint and I think that one of 3 things happened:
1. There was an error in the tv listings. Someone put in LBT12 instead of Scooby Doo.
2. They lost the tape that had LBT12 on it and had to air another movie instead.
3. They got a tape mix-up and grabbed the wrong tape by mistake, playing Scooby instead of LBT.
-
I'd go for no 1
What happened? The movie didn't air when it was supposed to?
-
No. It didn't air at all. I was a bit surprised, but not too much because I've seen it happen before.
-
You know, I had a feeling inside me that said, "Don't watch it and play Twilight Princess instead." So that's what I basically did. Looks like I was right to listen. :P:
I've known Cartoon Network to do stuff like this. I've been disappointed quite a number of times like this. -_-
According for DirectTV, it's still on for Tuesday. For me, it's on at 8 am. (Remember everyone, local times and areas may vary.) :D Here's hoping it's correct. :)
-
*sighs* Wrong yet again! :angry: Luckily, they were closer this time. It was LBT 5 that aired this time. -_-
Oh well! At least I can pick it up at the store when I go shopping today. :)
-
Yea, when I was watching it, I actually didn't realize it wasn't #12 until I saw the title. It's like "Land Before Time.........5!!!" "5?!?! What the?! :p :DD"
But yea, at least it's out today. But I probably won't be getting it for a while :(
-

Why is that? Money problems or something?
Anyways, once I figure out how to make everything work, I'll be joining YouTube and posting certian clips. (Basically fav scenes and the songs.) :)
EDIT: On second thought, never mind! I don't hold the nessacary capabilities. :cry2
-
Why is that? Money problems or something?
Well yea that (I never really have any money, so I have to rely on my parents), and the fact that I kind of still have a little bit of shame in letting them know I like it. :( I can't help it. No matter how hard I try, I just feel so inner-humiliated whenever I give any kind of sign as to me liking the series. I feel like my reputation would be destroyed with my family or something...
The irony is that I feel completely different towards my friends. I actually want to tell my friends about it, and a few times I was almost going to. If they somehow found out, I wouldn't feel at all embarrassed in any way.
But we'll most likely buy it in a few weeks anyway. My sister wants it, so she'll probably ask them for it soon :p

Well, in my experience, I'll tell you this...
If they really do care about you, then they'll respect you and what you're interested in. I know it's hard, but if you look deep down, I'm sure you'll find the courage to tell them. :)
-
It's out in Europe! I was at a store today and found it, translated and everything. It was Ä 17,95, I didn't buy it though... Gonna wait till it's 8,95 like all the others, a couple of months should do it =p
