Well, when there was only LBT 1 and 2 (wow, I was young then :p ), there was no other later sequels to compare it to.  I'm sure it seemed much more childish than the first LBT movie.  I've dug up some old online articles that people wrote complaining about the first LBT sequel (LBT 2).  I had them in my favorites a long time ago.  I wonder if I can restore them.  Apparently, Universal mislead about the next LBT movie, claiming it to be just about a match for the first movie (which was of course not true).  I understand that it created many angry people, and that's why LBT is so widely critisized to this day.  I remember something like this was said in the article:

Quote
"not only did they lie to us and create a little kids film off of a classic, then they start spewing the sequels out their ass like candy"


I don't know if Universal intentionally mislead the public or not.  I was still crapping in diapers when this was going on. :p  That's just what the article said.

Some jerk really wrote that in an article :o?  For those who are easily entertained, like myself, the sequels are good.  If any complaints, the only one I have is they try to raise the bar in terms of the content.  The vocabulary should'nt be dumbed down so much.  If anything, it will teach the kids a new word or two they could use in the long run.  Let's just pray profanity is not included, though I would die of laughter if Ducky ever cussed :lol!  To all ya haters out there, I hope Universal keeps spewing these sequels out of its a**.  The stories (suspense, namely) and vocab need some tweaking, and then ya have a good LBT sequel :D.

While I have to agree I don't mind the childish stand the sequels have taken, I also wouldn't mind a bit more of a darker mood. Not mass murder dark, but just something that at the end of the movie as you finish watching the credits, it makes you go 'Wow...that was a new twist!'

Or something to that effect....but still I do look forward to see what Universial comes up with next for this movie...

Something with the feel of the earlier sequels or some elements of the first movie would be nice.  But logically it would likely be more like the latter sequels, depending on the team perhaps who were working on it.

I sure agree with you Guardian and Kor on what might be an improvement to an upcoming LBT sequels. There are good ways to include gloomy elements which make the story more exciting without frightening the younger members of the audience to much. There have been gloomy elements before and I don't think they were received as "too much to handle" even by the younger target group.

A darker mood would be a nice change in the series.  :^.^:
Thinking of the last sequel that was "funny" and then go to "dark".  :lol

I guess there is a logical explanation as to why the sequals took such a childish increase. I remember Malte said that there can be gloomy elements without completely affecting the younger audiance. While I do agree with you on this, I think the first movie might have went a little too far in certain areas, which is probably what caused certain scenes to be cut. Scenes like the sharptooth fight inthe beginning, Littlefoot's mother's death, and the sharptooth encounter at the end, were probably seen as "too much" for the younger audiances, and maybe people complained about it and that's why the sequals are nowhere near as dark as the first one. Then again, I think we can all agree that the first movie was successful because it emphasized the difficulites one may have to go through in order to find peace.

Having said that, I really enjoy the sequals. I think these actors are really talented and have a really nice career ahead of them.

Well, I haven't seen LBT 12 and 13 and I have only seen  (yes, I really do need to catch up  :blink:  ). I read around the Internet that there is going to be LBT 14 later this year.

Did Ali came back during an episode of the series? If not, then hopefully she'll make an appearance in LBT 14. I have to admit that I was disappointed when she didn't appear in LBT 10.

Yes, Ali made a return in the episode "The Brave Longneck Scheme" (i think that's what it was called.)

Heh, don't feel you need to "catch up" too badly. There are a few around here (myself included) who havn't seen 12 or 13 yet.

And yes, Ali does make an appearance in the TV series, although that left it open as to whether she had returned before that or not, so she could appear in 14, as the TV episodes are set after the movies.

Where did you read that there would be a fourteenth movie? If it is wikipedia or a site that gets its information from wikipedia, it might be best not to trust it.

I actually thought I found info on LBT 14 through this site:

http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:The%20Land%20B...yond:1809961130

But I looked at it again and saw that it wasn't. Sorry, I was too excited.  :bang

Ali made an appearance during the tv series?! For real?! I hope Cartoon Network will still air the episodes this summer.  :D

Look for an episode called:  The Brave Longneck scheme.

Also if you can rent dvd's or have access to them that episode is on the dvd called:
The Land Before Time: Good Friends & Good Times

I have not even seen the sequels up to nr.6. (except for nr.11)
And I finally managed to see some series, thanks to LBTlover.
Thanks for sharing mate! :yes

And becasue I don't wish to spoil all sequels at once, I buy two DVD's/month.
Still, I hope that when I get DVD's nr 12-13, it will be a nr.14!
Or even 15!  :P:

I say that if UNI puts LBT on their shelf, GoF should buy it, make it, and sell it!
 :wow
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.

I'd say there's a good chance there'll be a 14th movie made.  I mean, they didn't exactly have a hard time selling #13.  It took me forever to find a store that still had it in stock after 2 full days of it being out. :blink:

I did not have a hard time finding it, but then again I go get 'em on the day of release :p.  I'm pretty certain there will be a fourteenth, and hoping so ;)  :lol:.
