22nd Anniversary of The Land Before Time

I woke up at 4 AM today, and after I noticed that it was the 18th, I could swear I had a nagging thought in the back of my head that there was something important about the date. I think it hit me at around 7 AM: I thought, “Holy buckets! It’s The Land Before Time’s 22nd anniversary!” :blink: Or, as Malte would say, it’s LBT’s second schnappszahl birthday!

Specifically, today is the anniversary of the original movie’s release in the United States (The second schnappszahl of LBT’s German release won’t be until June 22, 2011). Unfortunately I don’t have anything to commemorate the occasion. (It would’ve been nice if I’d remembered sooner and made a birthday picture for LBT. Oh well.)

Anyway, a happy 22nd birthday to The Land Before Time!

Here's hoping Universal will think to release an anniversary edition of the movie one of these days.

P.S. For those who don't know, a schnappszahl (am I spelling it right?) is a German word for a number with two or more digits in which all of the digits are the same. 11 is the first schnappszahl number, 33 is the third, 222 is the eleventh, you get the idea. (I learned the term from Malte on my own 22nd birthday, and now I look for any opportunity to use it.

Wow, twenty-two years old?
Happy Anniversary to the Land Before Time, it will always be a classic, not just in animation terms but in film history.

Back from 1988, The Land Before Time is 25 years old in 2013.

It's amazing to see how the Land Before Time is now 25 years old. I was three years old when the first and on;y greatest Land Before Time Came out. The movie is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this year. Amazing to see after 25 years I still love the movie. And I still cry my eyes out to this day at the end of the movie. I'm a 28 year old man that still cries at the end of the movie. Is that embarrassing to some of you guys? Well It's a amazing year we're celebrating 25 years of the Land Before Time.

Not yet, we still have to wait a couple of months before the official birthday

Ah okay it's still awesome that I was alive to witness when it first came out. And I know lot of people where as well.
