General Land Before Time / Re: Journey of the Brave (LBT 14)

This film has officially broken the hiatus record.

Right??? I can't believe it. It's making me worried that we really have seen the last of LBT.

I wonder if anyone can get in touch with someone from Universal, maybe ask them if there's any chance it will be brought back.

Disney fired all their animators (not Pixar) and so I am curious if Universal has done the same. I imagine LBT would have to make the transition to the Pixar, Illumination, and other full 3D animation in order to survive. I hate that we cannot have the old style of animation, I mean anime is booming, but alas this is how it is.

Personally I love the 4th one it has to be in my top 3 along with 1 and 9.
There is just something about the atmosphere and the shading at night that I really love.
I do wish that we got too see more of Ali in the later films because she was a really good love interest for Littlefoot.
I did wonder if Grampa died would Littlefoot leave the great valley and live with Ali and her herd that would have been quite a good conclusion too the franchise if they ended it at the 4th one.
all in all 10/10 movie   
That is the a really interesting question, if Grandpa Longneck had not survived, would Little Foot have gone with Ali's Herd? I think it is possible, because then the Great Valley would be full of memories that torment him.
Ali showing up in the TV Series was nice, but I really wanted her to return like Chomper did in the movies.

LBT XIV Journe of the Brave

I would have Chomper and Ruby actually accomplish something..

I also think a final battle as Bron is in peril, with all three Sharpteeth, necessitating Topsy and Grandpa to be there.

I am thinking how I really want to sink my teeth into a Paleontology book. There is this one I saw that looked very good for adults.

That is a great point, Cera was instrumental in Ali's arch. :)

Not a fan of the retcon that Scar isn't Mufasa's actual blood brother, and instead Mufasa was adopted. That to me ruins the original dynamic of the OG Lion King. I have decided these live action Lion King films are not canon.. I am sticking to the animated stuff.

This has been a question I've pondered on in the past. Being a film with 13 whole sequels, you'd think there'd be a little less longneck and a little more of everyone else.  :thinking Plus, Littlefoot's character arc was more or less completed in the first film, and to an extent the first sequel.

But at the same time, I get it. Littlefoot is the de facto protag of the franchise, so it's natural that he gets the lion's share of the spotlight. Also, I don't think Littlefoot's case of Main Character Syndrome™ is anywhere near as obnoxious as certain other franchises. For example, Lilo and Stitch. In that particular franchise, it feels like the livelihood of basically every character orbits around Stitch like the sun. In the TV show, Stitch is more often than not the ONLY reason anything ever gets done, always being the hero and cleaning up almost every mess - when Lilo is ALSO a title protag, y'know. :neutral It's not always the case, as episodes like Yaarp and Spike show other characters taking charge and being heroes, but 9 times out of 10 it's Stitch who fixes everything. Whereas in The Land Before Time, yes Littlefoot is the main character, but he shares the heroism about equally with his friends and even other characters like his grandpa. It feels a lot more equal to me as a result. Littlefoot isn't the center of the confounded universe, he's EQUALLY as capable as his friends are - while still sticking out in enough ways to let you know that he's still the central protag.

That said, I think if we got more movies past the 14th one, I think we could've gotten more movies that bring focus to characters besides the big L. For example XII was much, much more focused on Petrie and to an extent Cera than on Littlefoot, and VIII was a time to shine for Spike and Ducky. In general the movies that are more focused on the non-LF members of the Gang have always stood out to me for giving them the time in the sun they hadn't really gotten before at that point. And that, I think, is part of why The Land Before Time as a franchise still holds up years later. :smile
I think Cera had some focus in LBT III with her Dad being Drought Warden. I mean Topsy does that great song "Tough." :D

As of right now, I'm rewatching Jenny Nicholson's The Land Before Time movie ranking. Always a classic :PAli

As for series I've been binging...well, I recently knocked through the Lilo and Stitch TV show. I'm a sucker for aliens, so a show featuring all sorts of colorful alien critters with different abilities was bound to appeal to me. :rainbowwave

Also as you can imagine I'm still hooked on Disventure Camp. And Reality Resort and The Million Game: Academy! The latter being where I took my pfp from (gosh she really DOES remind me of Ducky...)
I watched Jenny's rankings, it was amusing.

Nah, you need a central protagonist. But there are movies that focus on the rest of the Gang, the Day of Flyers is Petrie's and Ducky is Stone of Cold Fire.

3% because I returned to the forums and have been seeing LBT OG advertised on streaming.

LBTIV remains my favorite of the sequels. I really love the theme it tackles on racism and resolving it. The adventure into the Mists is really great. I have said before I think it reminds me of a Quest For The Holy Grail the search for the Night Flower.
