German is my native language. I also can understand some texts, which are written in Latin. In the end of 2019, I began to learn Spanish. I often didn't have time to learn it, and then the pandemic came, so I can speak it a little, but not very well. And because some European languages include words from the English and the German language, I can understand them sometimes, Dutch is the best example. I sometimes even watch the land before time in Dutch, because it is interesting to see how lines or names were translated differently in other countries.

(I made this screenshot while watching JOTB last weekend.)

When January is nearly over and the Christmas tree is still standing in your living room...

This is only Petrie that will be eaten by any sharptooth.

What about "meatrie"? I once stumbled upon this name in a post in the party room section. Who made that post must have been a genius. Maybe I can find it again.

Petrie would become Meatrie! Get it? Because he would become food for Sharpteeth because he can’t fly away! Ha, ha!

Found!

I've watched it today and here are my thoughts about
The story:
The plot is pretty easy and self explaining. The gang has to cross logs to get on the other side of earth cracks, flees from sharpteeth, gets into arguments, does things it has done many times before, but also some interesting new elements can be found in the film. The film tries to give every main character a few moments in the spotlight, what can be considered as good and bad at the same time. Etta and Wild Arms are also interesting additions to the cast and contribute both their part to the plot. The opening was good, while the end feels a bit too short. XVI is one out of two films that doesn't end in the Great Valley and I largely prefer the other twelve endings.

The animation:
It was okay, but some could have been done better especially the 3D and computer animated elements.
A few scenes with 3D elements that were good in my opinion:


Here come the scenes that could have definitely been done better:






There were also a few other elements, that I didn't really liked.
Elements in the background for example looked a little washed out sometimes.

Not only is here again one of those bad 3D effects, but also a detail that shouldn't have looked so 2dimensional, in my opinion:

His teeth.
How could I forgot about this?

The lava looked pretty realistic.

The water didn't.
The music:
There are many new tracks in XVI and though none of those stands out in particular they were not only a welcoming change from the ones that I had already heard in three or four movies before, but also sounded like The Land Before Time. I remember, that when I first watched JOTB the first thing that stood out for me was the music.

So here is the continuation of the post:
It is just some things that I noticed, while watching it and that I didn't mention in the post yesterday.
First of all, I think the biggest missed opportunity XVI had was in the introduction of the dinosaurs. In III and the other sequels it was the well done and the animals looked a lot more impressing. I did expect the same from this film, but the first sight of a dinosaur was this:

Things look smaller from the air, so why make dinosaur this size small?
How much time has passed between the first and the fourteenth film can be seen here:

I haven't watched it for a while, so for me it's an absolutely good idea to watch it again.  Five years are a long time, the time span between the release of the first film and the production of the first sequel. I think that says a lot about how our view on things can change during a few years. @LittleDas75  Would you like to watch it again and to share your thoughts about it with us next week? Maybe you and I could do this together.

Here's my list:
- a book about paleontology
- 2 notebooks
- a new alarm clock
- acrylic painters
- crayons from my grandmother

This week I did some American food:

This cookie reminds me of a longneck from X.
My first attempt to do same some art in form of American pancakes:


Poor Petrie... Poor,poor Petrie...
I baked him for a little too long.

When did this project started? 2013? Compared to the few months that I'm here at this forum the time this project took sounds like an eternity. It's nearly unbelievable how much time and how much effort some of you put into this project and from that what I  have already seen and heard I can say that your hard work has paid off.
I always thought that it's not easy for a child actor to voice a character, but I didn't think about  how difficult it is for someone to voice a child character when he or she isn't a child anymore. You not only managed to do this, but also made it feel so lifelike and realistic. It's so great!
I have to say that to see such a huge project finished shows me once again what the members of this forum are able to do when we work all together and that one of the most important reasons why I like the land before time so much are its fans.
Congratulations everyone!
I hope that I will get access to the discord server soon, so that I can join the live stream in a few days!

Very well done! Your video adaptation even includes more little details in the pictures and the voice acting is a great addition to the story. The thing I like the most is the way it stops and Dagara gives us a short explanation of her situation.
I would definitely love to see more!

These look quite tasty!  Now I can finally eat some of the dinosaurs without the gang getting upset over it. 

Thanks! Looks like many people here like to eat dinosaurs! I just hope the species cookiesaurus sarae won't get extinct soon.
