The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Return to the darker feel of LBT 1?

i love the first one just the way it is i like the cute warm feeling i get at the end part and the sad journey to the valley part. I think that it should be mixed with both because it should not just be one way and not the other i like the land before time being cute and i do like a little of the dark feeling it gives me when something scary is about to happen it dose get a little exciting there. both are good for me as long as it is the land before time than i like it. :)

I think a mix of both is best since it enhances and improves the story I think.  Though each movie or story doesn't need to be exactly 50/50.  Some could have more of one then the other.

i agree with that not all should have the same feeling every time in every movie.

Yes, some darker and some lighter.  That could keep things interesting and would make sense to me.

I think Roy Allan Smith did a good job in 2-4 mixing the lighter and darker elements. Everything up to 4 was great. And then Grosvner came in with 5. It wasn't god-awful, seeing as Roy Allan Smith was still partly working on it, but it was a sudden and unexpected drop from where things had been. And then with 6 everything went downhill. 10 years ago, when movie 8 had just been released, I would have said "mixing the lighter and darker elements" (which I voted for before thinking) but after how bad wisdom of friends was, I think we NEED to return to the feel of LBT 1. That is, if LBT still continues to exist.  :unsure:

Funny, it's been nearly 2 years since I made the last post in this topic.

I feel we'd need to return to the feel of the first movie if the franchise were to revive. I know it's all impossible, but it's the only way I would forgive Universal for WOF.

I agree, Bruton. Though I both like the darker and the lighter sequels.

I think it would be almost impossible to think of an idea that is as dark or even darker the LBT 1 and still appropriate for kids at that.

All fanfiction ideas I had so far (and RPs, too) are rather dark I guess... though I try to mix in funny and less serious scenes as well :)

Anyway, I voted for a mixture since I both enjoy dark and light scenes and I also think the mixture in LBT 2-4 was pretty good.
Inactive, probably forever.
