On the subject of mothers, mine died when I was two years old of complications from diabetes, so I never really knew her. Any animated sequence that features a mother, either in life or death, stirs emotions in me. When I was young, I never thought about her much, but as I've gotten older, I've sensed a void deep inside. My dad ended up marrying my mother's sister, so at least I had someone related to raise me, and who is still around. But yes, I do feel something is missing, that will never be filled. I have depression, so things have more of an emotional impact on me(I first started showing signs of it in 1996, and I'd never been more emotional than I have since then). However, I'm also emotional in happiness, so joyful things can make me cry as much as sad things.
I have a rough exterior though, so I hate for anyone to see me cry.
I worship Mother Nature, and now when I think about it, that might be because of the loss of my mother. Perhaps on a subconscious level, I see Nature as my mother. But I'm just rambling now...
-----------------------
In 1989, I was six years old.
Loved dinosaurs. Was absolutely nuts about them(still am, heehee--I became obsessed with JP when I saw it in the summer of 1993). My folks ended up renting LBT, and I fell in love with it. It just became my favorite movie ever. I must have watched it at least three times, all in one day.
In hindsight, I don't know why I never got the video. Some years later, I heard of a LBT II, and became excited. But nothing came of that. I must have had a short memory span back then too, because I never looked further into it.
Sometime in the 2000's, I watched the original on Cartoon Network, and it took me back to my childhood. I remember wanting the soundtrack, since I was just getting into film soundtracks back then. I still want that soundtrack...
Then I dropped the subject AGAIN. How it kept flying from my memory, I'll never know.
I joined this place in 2004, but never really came here for LBT discussion. Now that I've read a few threads, made a few posts, I want to change that. I want to find the sequels on DVD, and especially the original(if need be, I'll buy it again if ever a Special Edition is released). Something has been reawakened in my soul, a feeling I thought I'd lost, and this time I'm going to capture it, and hold onto it.
