General Land Before Time / Did a Disney movie inspire an LBT storyline?

« on: August 26, 2023, 01:04:40 AM »

Relating to my topic about members here who might know the creators, it came about because I saw someone (who I shall refrain from naming for discretion) said this in a thread:

“ The kids were like John Smith from Disney’s Pocahontas, the tinysauruses were the Indians, and the adults were the other white men. Both groups could not accept the other on equal terms and wanted to be as far away from each other as possible. The white men (the LBT grownups) wanted to drive away the Indians (the tinysauruses) while John Smith (the kids) found peace with both sides at once. Whoa, hold the phone. This isn’t LIKE the Pocahontas movie. It IS the Pocahontas movie. The savages song from Pocahontas is just like the creepy crawlies song from the LBT movie. I can just see the director, trying to think of a plot for movie eleven, then his little daughter tugs on his pants and asks him to watch a movie with her. He refuses for days, then finally accepts, having found no ideas. As he watches Pocahontas, his eyes lights up, and he calls the writer team up. Sadly, the father never finishes the movie with his daughter. I mean, seriously, the plot theme was just like that Disney movie”

It’s weird because they almost act as if they know what they’re talking about. Even if it’s not a known fact, do you think there’s any validity to this speculation?

General Land Before Time / Members who personally know some of the creators?

I noticed that way back when, one user made this comment about LBT 11:

“ The kids were like John Smith from Disney’s Pocahontas, the tinysauruses were the Indians, and the adults were the other white men. Both groups could not accept the other on equal terms and wanted to be as far away from each other as possible. The white men (the LBT grownups) wanted to drive away the Indians (the tinysauruses) while John Smith (the kids) found peace with both sides at once. Whoa, hold the phone.

I thought it was a very odd comment since the so-called “theory” —-the way it was described, anyways—-seemed oddly specific, as if they actually knew about some of the stuff that went on behind-the-scenes in the story creation area, but (for the sake of some discretion, I would assume) brought it up as a “theory”.

I know there have been people here who have talked with LBT voice actors and reached out to them, but I’ve never heard of anyone who personally knows anyone who worked on the sequels, much less the original. Unfortunately, the user I quoted hadn’t been active since before the boards got that overhaul a while back .

General Land Before Time / Am I the only one who finds Petrie’s uncle annoying?

« on: July 22, 2023, 06:30:11 AM »

I know I’m going to get a ton of flack for saying this.

But yeah, I’m sorry, I find him kind of annoying. It’s partially the voice, partially the dialogue, and partially the fact that he just comes off as kind of stupid. I mean, he’s so desperate to create a paradise (something he KNOWS already exists, since we first meet him in the Great Valley) that he resorts to kidnapping and all that. I don’t know, I just don’t care for him. I admit that even though the last scene with him is pretty rough (I can’t imagine what it must be like for a fan of the character to watch it 23 years later when he still hasn’t been brought back), I’m still a bit frustrated by him in it. I would have personally had him say goodbye to Petrie and the rest outside the Great Valley and have his exile be self-imposed, showing he recognizes his actions have cost him the chance to be a part of the community.

Like I said, I’m probably one of the only people here who isn’t a fan of him, but honestly, I don’t mind having a non-standard opinion, in fact I really like it. And I especially like being able to share it.

General Land Before Time / Asking the creators for info on LBT 15.

« on: March 16, 2023, 03:18:56 AM »

Has anyone thought of getting in touch with any one involved in JOTB to see if there’s any plans for an LBT 15 ever happening? Who knows, maybe if they they know there are interested fans out there, it will spark desire among the creators to produce more LBT-related material.

General Land Before Time / Has Petrie become better or worse over the years?

« on: March 11, 2023, 01:17:50 AM »

Today I read something very interesting in a thread.

“ fPetrie started off the series as a cowardly, flightless nobody who annoyed many film critics with his poor attempts at being the comic relief. However, the sequels slowly improved his character over the years until he became a very likeable character by the time Stone of Cold Fire came out”

I honestly feel the exact opposite. I liked Petrie in the original, but feel he gradually became worse over the course of the sequels. Bizarre, huh? (Although I feel maybe he was finally starting to improve with Journey Of The Brave.)

I don’t know how everyone feels about Petrie, but it would be interesting to know if there are others who feel as strongly about him one way or the other.

The Welcome Center / Hello

Hi, I’m just a guy who grew up with the LBT movies.

I had an account here a long time ago, but the website went through some changes several years back and the last I remember trying, my old password didn’t work anymore. So hopefully starting a new one won’t be too much of a problem.
