A common criticism I have heard from critics is that the sequels focus way too much on Littlefoot to the point where he isn't interesting anymore. Do you agree or disagree? Personally, I can see where they're coming from but it doesn't bother me too much.

He's the main character, of course he's going to have the most focus. Whether his characterization objectively works or not is another matter entirely.

- These Longnecks always think they're the most important. :ToppsGrumpy
- Yeah! :ceramad Why this egghead has so much attention? It will be better if some smart and brave girl takes his spotlight place... :cerasmug

Well, honestly, in last years, I had such feeling. Not very strong and accusing feeling, but still.
Considering movies, only movie without Littlefoot's plotline is XII (in my opinion). And in my opinion, it's quite a lot. Even if he's my fav loveable character, even if he's the most central protagonist of series... Sometimes, such huge amount of time, when you have other characters, is not the best option. Because of that, now I have more interest of rewatching that movies and TV episode where Littlefoot is not main character, even if these movies and TV episodes are not great in my opinion.
Still, this fact didn't change my opinion about Littlefoot himself, he is stilll interesting character for me.

Agreed.

Interesting. As much as I like Littlefoot as a main character, I also find myself drawn to the movies and storylines where a supporting character is the central focus, e.g. LBT VIII and LBT XII. It's a very nice and unique change of pace.

While I do think a movie based on a different character in The gang of seven like for example LBT 12 but instead of Petrie it's something about ducky (shout out to the swimmer trials fanfic) or ruby would be cool and yes I do think LBT 15 will happen someday, littlefoot is the star of the show and without him it would just be like if mario wasn't in Super Mario bros.
