Title: Most sad moment in a sequel?

What, in your opinion, is one of the saddest moments in any of the LBT sequels?

I'm thinking some of the stuff that transpired near the end of LBT 10 was pretty sad.

And if anyone complains that that isn't really sad per standards, then do realize that nothing compares to what happened in the original film, and probably, nothing else ever will.

Well, lemme think...

Oh yeah! When Littlefoot decides if to stay with his dad or to return to the Great Valley. I really thought he'd leave the gang and his grandparents. Just like when Spike leaves the Great Valley in LBT VIII. These were the saddest moments in a sequel for me.

With me having been so spoiled on certian things, #8's sad moment and #10's sad moment, just didn't seem all that sad when I watched them.  I guess that's what I get for getting off the franchise for several sequals. :(

The one that was sad to me though, was #9.  Mo was one of the few guest charcters that touched me in a unique way, and when he sacrificed himself to save the gang, it really hurt the first time I saw it.  I'll tell you now that my reaction was just like Littlefoot's at that moment. :o

Of course, I was just as rejoiced when he was found alive.  Of course, it was sad seeing such a good guest charcter go.  You have NO idea how much I miss seeing him in LBT.  He's my #1 guest charcter. :^.^:

The who situation with Littlefoot's grandpa in #4, without a doubt. Poor kid came pretty close to losing another parent figure. This time it was the only father figure he'd ever known.

I'll agree with LBT 4. Poor Littlefoot. :(

And I definately agree with LBT 10. Bestest Friends still makes me well up. Reminds me of some friends of my own. :cry2

I think, talking the sequals and not the original of course, that Littlefoot and Chomper parting ways in LBT 2 was pretty sad.  Nothing makes me cry in LBT though except for Littlefoot's mother.  That is the ultimate right there.

Very often the goodbye scenes get to me. Though not as dramatical as scenes such as the one in which Littlefoot's grandma prepares him for his grandpa's likely death they often are very sad. The two goodbyes from Chomper, the one from Ali, and the goodbye from Mo (and Littlefoot's glimpse at the wonders of the sea and their return to the Great Valley) are very well done. So was the final scene of LBT 10 of course, but I would have enjoyed that one better if the rest of the movie had been more fitting as well.

LBT 10 when they sung "Bestest Friends".
I was almost crying.  :cry2

And LBT 9 when Mo left the gang.

My sadest moments are: When littlefoot sings when you¥re on your own in LBT VI and begin to sing: when you¥re on your own, you have to be the grown up.

When Mo leave the kids, When littlefoots mother died, when spike leave with his group, when littlefoot has to decide, if he go with his grandparents or his father, when littlefoot liyng alone in the feetstep of the sharpteeth and his friends are with Cera, when they sing always there.

1.When Spike goes with the other Spike Tail's and Ducky sings "Family"

2. When Mo leaves the Gang in LBT 9 only to come back

3. Little foot's grand father almost dieing in  LBT 4.

4. "If only" In LBT 11.

5. LBT 10 when Littlefoot has to decide whether to stay with his friends and grandparents or live with his father and his herd. And "Bestest friends"

I always tear up at any of those.

Title: Most sad moment in a sequel?
Post by: FlipperBoidSkua on February 07, 2011, 04:11:40 PM
Besides the original, which had Niagra Falls pouring out of my eyes.....

These scenes got me to tear up a bit:

LBT 2
- Saying goodbye to Chomper. The adorable baby Chomper being reluctant to leave Littlefoot, but being told that he has to.

LBT 5
- The song "Always There"
- When the gang reunited with their families with Always There playing in the background. That was so beautiful it got another tear from me

LBT 7
- The whole flashback of the fate of Pterano's herd
- The scene when Ducky's about to fall off the cliff and Pterano has that flashback.

LBT 8
-"Family" almost gotta tear out of me.

LBT 9
-Mo trying to convince the others to stay with him. The horror that they'll be leaving him, possibly to never be seen again, and the sadness on his face made me want to hug him.
-And, of course, the part everyone thought he was dead, especially this scene: "Goodbye....friends..." "Mo! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!........Mo....." I was doing the same thing!!  :cry

LBT 10
-"Bestest Friends" got to me..... :cry

LBT 12
- The combo of Cera being ignored throughout the whole movie to remind me of my family's obvious favoritism towards my sister, and the tears beginning to well up when Mr. Threehorn basically states that Tricia's the best daughter ever and Cera feeling the pain and running off. Finish it with "Things Change" and yup, definitely crying for me. :cry

TV Series
- Ruby's "Remembering" song didn't get me to cry, but it was sad for me nonetheless. Same with "Everything will be Okay"

LBT 2. When Littlefoot and Chomper go their seperate ways. I love that little guy, that was so sad, when he didn't want  

LBT4. When Littlefoot's Granfather gets ill. Littlefoot can't lose another family member!

LBT 5 When they sing "Alway's There." When Littlefoot sang his part...gah! :cry
 When they say good-bye to Chomper... AGAIN!!!!!!!
 When they reunite with their families. That was so touching.

LBT 8. When Spike leaves the great valley while their singing "Family." Almost brought tears to my eyes

LBT 9. When Mo saves them from the swimming sharptooth by sacrificing himself. NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LBT 10. That huge Flashback of Littlefoot's mother. Don't know why it just...got to me, I suppose.
 When they sing "Bestest Friends" Oh come on! That was so sad and showed how close the gang are.

Hmmm, well obviously when Littlefoot's mother dies actually makes me cry, as for the other sadder scenes, I am ashamed to admit it but they do not provoke much of a reaction out of me.  However, I do find LBT IV when Grandpa is ill and dying quite provoking, I do find the song 'Always there' quite sad (ie: when Littlefoot mentions is mother) and I do find LBT IX when the viewer is left with the impression that Mo has 'died' in order to save his friends...

Title: Most sad moment in a sequel?
Post by: LBTFan13 on February 08, 2011, 08:26:44 PM
LBT II - Like most have already said, the saddest moment for me in this movie was towards the end, when Littlefoot and Chomper have to part ways. What really made that scene work was the music. Playing "If We Hold On Together" during that entire scene really got to me, on top of how much Littlefoot cared for Chomper and how much it hurt him to have to see him leave. I think this was also the strongest moment in the entire movie, as it showed the most emotion as well as a true sense of growth in Littlefoot and accepting that he can only do so much as a kid.

LBT III - There really weren't any sad moments during this movie. If I really had to choose something, the closest moment would be when it seems like the grown-ups all die towards the end after they fell off that cliff. It's kind of a bad choice, but that's really all I can think of at this point.

LBT IV - Again, a lot of people have already spoken about this moment, but when we first see Grandpa really taking the effects of his sickness and the possibility that he was going to die. A couple things worked into the true effect of this scene. It really starts to hit you when NOBODY wants to go into the Land of Mists, especially the Old One basically shooting down Littlefoot's plea for help (I always hated her for that). When you see his reaction in her eyes, that got me. The second is when Grandpa starts to explain to Littlefoot that he may have to leave with the herd if anything happened to him. Littlefoot's reaction to this also really got to me, and you could really tell how Grandpa really had no idea on whether or not he was going to live or not.

LBT V - "Always There" is such a tear jerker. It is the most heart warming song out of all the sequels, and for good reason. Most people say that Littlefoot's part is the strongest part, but in all honesty I believe the entire song is of equal strength. Minus Petrie (which I always found confusing that he didn't sing anything), all of the characters reflect on how their parents comfort them in the worst of times. The gang's second farewell with Chomper really didn't hit me as much as it did to others, because I really didn't feel the same emotion that I did in LBT II. Call me crazy, but I just wasn't really saddened by it at all.

LBT VI - This was surprising to me, but "On Your Own" was possibly the saddest moment for me. The whole song is about how Littlefoot idolizes Doc and he how he gets to be just like him, but then when it gets to the end it makes a complete turn around and he longs for his friends. Sure, it might not be a tear jerker like "Always There", but Littlefoot's realization that being alone isn't always such a cool thing kind of made an impact.

LBT VII - The flashback of Pterano's "herd" was quite sad. Quite a few dinosaurs died during that scene and it really left a whole morbid tone. Sure most of the dinosaurs die off screen, but what really got me was the one dinosaur falling off the cliff and Pterano's reaction that they all died because of him. He probably wouldn't have gotten kicked out of the herd had he just owned up to his mistake.

LBT VIII - A lot of people are saying that "Family" was the saddest moment of this movie. I can see why they say that, and I agree to a point. Sure at that moment it is quite sad to see Spike leave Ducky after seven movies of being in her family, but the reason why this scene didn't work as well as Mo's scene in LBT IX (which I'll get to next), is that there is that sense that Spike will come back. There was that little bit of regret on his face when he looked back one last time, and there was no way that Ducky wouldn't go after him after all they've been through.

LBT IX - As a lot have said, the scene where Mo leads the swimming sharptooth away got to me. Unlike Spike leaving the valley in LBT VIII, you really had no idea what whether or not Mo would survive. Sure he's a fast swimmer, but it would probably be unlikely that he could out swim something as large as what they were up against. Not really much else to say about this one.

LBT X - "Bestest Friends" is right under "Always There" as a truly emotional song. The scene itself is really powerful, because like Mo's scene in LBT IX, you have no idea what was going to happen. When I first saw this movie, I really believed that Littlefoot was going to leave the valley and join Bron's herd. This could have been the end of the LBT franchise right there, and it would have been an emotional ending (at least in my opinion). When he tells his grandparents that he isn't leaving, their reaction is also quite powerful coupled with the great music arrangement. One thing I was always bummed about is why we didn't get to see Littlefoot's friends' reaction to his decision. I mean sure they sang about how they would support him no matter what, I think it would have made more of an impact if we saw their reaction as well.

LBT XI - I really didn't find anything sad about this movie either. "If Only" wasn't that emotional to me. Littlefoot was simply reflecting on his bad decision to lie. Not much else to say here.

LBT XII - I felt really bad for Cera throughout the entire movie, because she was going through something that almost everybody goes through in life. She has been so used to being an only child and having all of her father's love, but when Tricia was born she felt like she was being cast aside. Her emotions throughout this movie really bring out a deeper sense of character for her (at least in my opinion), which was really nice to see.

LBT XIII - Absolutely nothing sad in this one. I didn't find anything that could even be remotely considered an emotional experience in this one.

The Always There song.

Post by: jansenov on February 09, 2011, 07:19:39 PM
Since I rediscovered LBT, I have watched movies from first to sixth. Of the sequels, I felt saddest during the end song of the fifth movie. It brings such an intense sense of nostalgia, almost like the franchise had just ended. "Almost there" is near the top too, and it is one of the rare references to the first movie.
Which is the saddest and brought out so many tears from me. But that's for another topic.

Littlefoot's verse of "Always There" for me, all the way. Him singing about his mother, the implication that this is the first time in a while that he's stopped to think about her and it's really hitting him hard always gets me. Then there's his loenly finale of the sing: "Always therrrr-re." Just makes me want to give to him a hug.

LBT II: When littlefoot say goodbye chomper.

LBT IV:the possible Grandpa longneck's death.

LBT V: "Always There" and the scene when Cera discriminates Chomper and make him cry. :cry

Title: Most sad moment in a sequel?
Post by: Allicloud on February 28, 2011, 03:32:12 PM
Its surprising how many there are for me:

II: Littlefoot and Chomper saying goodbye. It wasn't particularly sad, but definitely was the closest thing. Emotional, well performed, and with the perfect soundtrack.

V: Always There- First LBT moment to genuinely make me cry since Littlefoot's Mother in the original. Mostly quite sad, topped off by Littlefoot's solo. because you think it would be about his grandparents, and then it sort of hits you that he's referring to his mother for the first time since the original.

VI: When You're On Your Own always gets to me a bit, especially the "When you're on your own/ you have be the grown-up" bit. Just the sudden change in mood, from thinking that being on his own was exciting and adventurous, to thinking that it's lonely and harsh. Particularly because being a bit of a loner makes me think such things sometimes.

VIII: Contrary to what many people say, it's not the Family song. It's the little dialogue-less montage of Spike and Ducky slowly growing apart. I dunno why, but speechless montages always get to me in films. Personally, I blame the first 15 minutes of UP.

IX: No One has To be Alone. Oh man, this song always gets to me. Just the opening, with Mo and Littlefoot quietly enjoying a moment, and Littlefoot realising the meaning behind his grandpa's words. Plus, I dunno why, but the "There is so much more to everything/ than we can ever know" bit always gives me a big shiver, which I take as a sign of power and atmosphere in a song.

X: That brief shot of Littlefoot brooding on the ledge before Bron talks to him. The combination of the image of Littlefoot possibly sadder than he's been since the original, plus the twinkly Ghibli-style piano music. Part of me wants this shot to be longer, while the other half reminds me that this could cause Littlefoot to look angsty.
Also, the Bestest Friends song. Like LBTfan said, if I didn't know that there were 3 more sequels, I would be very emotional and into this scene.
Also, that brief shot of Petrie apparently being swallowed by the belly-dragger. Not exactly sad, but first time I saw it, I got a real "......oh my god!" reaction from it.

"Bestest Friends" would be the moment for me. Honestly felt teary-eyed listening to that one, especially because the first time I saw it, there weren't any further sequels, and I had been thinking that 10 is a perfect number to wrap up on.

Minus Petrie (which I always found confusing that he didn't sing anything), all of the characters reflect on how their parents comfort them in the worst of times.

I'm really glad you love the whole song and not just Littlefoot's part. But as for why Petrie didn't sing anything, I'd be happy to explain my theory. You see, the whole song is sung in narrative by the characters, and with Petrie's rather...unusuall grammer, that would sound very odd. And his voice, as we saw in "One of a kind", takes an aquired taste, and would have sounded odd and out of place, too. I love Mama Flyer and would have loved to hear how she comforted Petrie, and the fact that we don't see him remembering her is kind of sad, but hey, at least the first thing he does when back on the mainland is fly to her. If this hypothetical explanation helps, just let me know.

Anyways, as for me, I was nearly in tears for the last 5 minutes of movie 9---good tears, of course!!!

And it was really sad in LBT 6 is when they're walking home at the end of the day; Littlefoot said, "Me ad my big mouth" ad Ducky says "Do ot feel bad, Littlefoot" ad Petrie says "It just...bad luck" and Littlefoot suddely stops and watches them all walk off as Ducky's voice trails, "Just like you're Grampa said it would be. First we had bad luck, the the whole great valley will have bad luck, ad then maybe the whole diosaur world will have bad luck...and then maybe even the whole universe will have bad luck!" And they just walk off and leave Littlefoot standing there...it's so sad, espicialy with the music that plays. And then the scene fades to black and BAM!! Probably the scariest part of the whole film series strikes. Just the suddeness of it after the peaceful serenity of the last scene is enough to make you jolt---like a hidden track blasting loud music at the end of an album, after the last listed track was something really soft and beautiful.

And also I felt really bad for Spike and Ducky...I've said this too many times to say it again.

Also when Grandma and Grampa look at each other in 10 and Grandma cries. When Grandpa nuzzles Littlefoot, and Grandma nuzzles Littlefoot and cries.

The blaming Littlefoot, and then the crying fiesta is 11. That wasn't just sad; it was so overdone it was almost funny.

Grandma's creepy tears at the end of the song in 4, and when it looked like Grandpa was gonna die.

When Grandma shed a few tears after comfortig Grandpa in 5.

Easy, Bruton. Don't be so generalising. Nobody is bashing 9, nor raising 10 into heaven.
Title: Most sad moment in a sequel?
Post by: Bruton the Iguanodon on December 31, 2011, 01:44:35 PM
Thanks for reassuring me...It's just I really think 9 had a beautiful ending and was the perfect note to wrap the series up on, and don't like the idea of it being overshadowed by 10, which, I thought was in contrast overdone and felt more of something trying to recreate the beauty 9 had given us, rather then be something of it's own. So if there are people who agree with me that 9 had a beautiful ending and felt like a good way to end the series, I'm very touched that there are people out there who feel the same way. If people don't feel either way about 9 and 10 I'm fine. But if everyone feels like 10 should have been the end and no one cares about 9, I'll have to live with the fat that I stand alone, and as such I'll continue stand proud on my own opinion.  ;)

I just finished movie eight, and the part where Spike leaves was a real tearjerker for me. I never expected to cry as much as I did when he left.

Same thing happened in movie two when Littlefoot said goodbye to Chomper and when Littlefoot thought he was going to lose his grandpa in movie four.

The whole ending to 9 was a good kind of sad. I really hope what you say is true, jansenov; it seems like everybody considers LBT 10 as being "the one that should have wrapped up the series" and don't even give 9 a moment's thought, which greatly saddens me cause 9 had a beautiful ending and I think it was wrong of universal to try to do something that would supposedly "top it", which they shouldn't of; take 4, for instance. It came after the amazing 3, but wasn't trying to be a repetition of the truly incredible 3; and heck, as a result it turned out better!

I really want people to think about this. Pretend they have no knowledge of 10-13 or the tv series existing. Wouldn't 9 make a beautiful, perfect ending? Or am I the only one who thinks so?

I don't think you're crazy. I didn't find it that sad. I'd call people who consider it tearjerking crazy before I'd call someone who just considered it a beautiful moment (like you) crazy.

It didn't need to be longer, but I know what you mean. Personally I wish the scene in movie 1 where Littlefoot's mom dies was longer....heck, I've got a topic on it I'm so angry about it being short!  :anger

And if anyone complains that that isn't really sad per standards, then do realize that nothing compares to what happened in the original film, and probably, nothing else ever will.



Probably...but not definitely. Don't say never. I consider it bad luck.

Of course, I was just as rejoiced when [Mo] was found alive. Of course, it was sad seeing such a good guest charcter go. You have NO idea how much I miss seeing him in LBT. He's my #1 guest charcter.

Mine, too.  ;)

But that wasn't a sad moment! I can understand if it touched you, and it made you cry you were so touched...but sad? Well, why? I didn't find it sad. Very touching, yes, and tear jerking in a good kinda way, but sad?  :huh:

I'm sorry, but I don't want someone to ruin how I feel about 9 by turning it into something it isn't.

People always think "Bestest Friends" as something really sad, too, but if you watch it you'll see it's actually a pretty positive song.  :exactly  It's afterwards where the Grandmas sobbing thats sad.  :(

But really, Allicloud, I want to know why you think that song is sad, because this topic is for things that are tearjerking in a negative way. I can understand it getting to you, if it was in a positive way.

I thought the flash back of Bron leaving little foot was very sad.



There wasn't a flashback of him leaving Littlefoot; that was Littlefoot's mom---his wife! Littlefoot hadn't even been...uh, laid, yet.

When they sing "Bestest Friends" Oh come on! That was so sad and showed how close the gang are.

As I said before, for all people make of it, it's really actualy a pretty positive song. I can't see it having that emotional effect on small children, really.

When I first saw this movie, I really believed that Littlefoot was going to leave the valley and join Bron's herd. This could have been the end of the LBT franchise right there, and it would have been an emotional ending (at least in my opinion).


Anyone but me still thinking 9 would have made a much better ending?  :unsure:

IX: No One has To be Alone. Oh man, this song always gets to me. Just the opening, with Mo and Littlefoot quietly enjoying a moment, and Littlefoot realising the meaning behind his grandpa's words. Plus, I dunno why, but the "There is so much more to everything/ than we can ever know" bit always gives me a big shiver, which I take as a sign of power and atmosphere in a song.

Alicloud, I know I've said this before, but I want to ask: is it a good, positive kind of sad which feel when you watch this scene, or are you turning this beautiful song into something sad and negavite by putting it on the sad list here when it is really something beautiful and positive? You said it gives you a big shiver, but does it not make you feel warm and happy as well?

If this the way you feel, I accept that, but I just want to know why you feel this way about something that wasn't supposed to give that impression.

If it made you feel sad in a good, positive way, I completely understand. This, along with much of the rest of the end of 9 in general, made me feel that way, too---so beautiful I was close to tears.

Maybe I'm just overreacting and misinterpreting what you said, and I just need some affirmation that it was not a bad kind of sad. But if it was, tell Littlefoot, Mo and the rest that that moment made you feel sad and gave a shiver, and they'll tell you how it really felt. And if that doesn't convince ya, I don't know what will.


I think it's kinda sad when Ali leaves; the echoing of her saying "Maybe we'll all live together someday..." kinda gets me. But what's really sad is when you think about what Ali will be like the next time they all meet.

And whta the series will have gone through:Chomper's parents having subtitles,\ Ducky and Spike going through hornet hell and back, Nasty drop in animation quality, and hoo boy, did it fly off the rails after 9: Littlefoot having a father?! Ducky Spike and Petrie bawling their eyes out? tinysaureses?!!!

No, we can't possibly live with those things.

They didn't say it gets to them in a negative way, though. What makes you interpret that comment as them thinking the song effected them negatively?

By not really including anything positive in it, and it being in a topic called "most sad moment ina sequel"

Well I didn't get a negative vibe from the comment. Even at the end, they said this: "always gives me a big shiver, which I take as a sign of power and atmosphere in a song." So that's something positive right there.

So far for me, Spike choosing to leave the Great Valley in movie eight... :cry

Believe me, I teared up at that point.
